Car coding done right: Unlocked 5 useful features on my Skoda Kodiaq

Available in the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq, it reminds me of the Lexus RX500 in which even the steering wheel moves up and away for easier access.

Unlocked a few features last week

Listed below in order of their usefulness:

1) Removed the 80 km/h and 120 km/h chimes

Finally! No more annoying alerts at those speed thresholds.

2) Ability to lock the car from outside while it’s turned on

This one was a game-changer for me. On hot days, I often start the car and let the AC run. Now, I can lock the car from outside while it’s running—perfect for cooling the cabin without worrying about leaving valuables inside.

3) Comfort entry and exit for the driver and passenger seats

The seat automatically slides back slightly when you open the door and returns to its original position when you turn on the ignition. I love this feature—reminds me of the Lexus RX500, where even the steering wheel moves up and away for easier access. This is available in the 2025 Skoda Kodiaq.

4) Cabin air recirculation memory

The system now retains your air recirculation setting between ignition cycles, as long as the car hasn’t been off for too long. It still resets after a longer shutdown, but it’s a nice improvement.

5) "Please turn on the lights" alert disabled

No more unnecessary reminders for turning on the headlights.
