When you hover over the NAV screen you'll see the menu bar at the bottom. Click on the option that says 'View' and select from the list of check boxes and the split screen will appear.

Thanks for the info. I've looked in media and nav options and can't see anything in relation to split screen? Would you be able to share the button sequence to get to split screen please? Thank you

I'll take photos and upload.

Took my key to dealer and told them key was dead. I have KESSY system. Garage key which sits with my house keys drained battery from KESSY key. They replaced free of charge. Keys sit in same pocket hence the drain but now they don't. They were never on the same key ring either. Car key always separate.

Or you can just press the nav button when in the nav screen.

Have a read on briskoda, but from memory, the rear can take a huge rim.

In my searching, I think 8.5" with ET35 was OK for rubbing front and rear, but I'm pretty sure the rear you could get away with 9.5" on a lower offset and still not rub unless it was ridiculously low.

I need to check but I'm sure I'm 19x8.5 et35, stock height tdi rs and no rubbing. Same tyre size as stock 19s. Sorry. Don't know why it always puts my pics upside down...

Anyway to activate the deadlock from the keyfob? Mine doesn't have the alarm and you can lock the car on the fob and still open the doors from inside. Bad if your car is black like mine and want to crack the windows a bit to vent the sauna...

I think by default 'safelock' is enabled - when you lock the car the inside should lock. If you press the lock button on the fob again (within 2 seconds) it cancels 'safelock' and the inside is open.

If you have an alarm, yes. If you don't have an alarm, there's no safelocking option
