Re: Nightwing, a 'Superb' choice | My Skoda Superb Sportline in Race Blue

That's a brilliant purchase, DDiSLover. With the new sorted gearbox and more than sufficient performance to always put a smile on your face, you're going to have a ball of a time with this Skoda.

Wishing you many kms of joyous ownership and safe driving .. Time to request the form mods to somehow allow you to amend your handle

To all Superb owners - does the cigarette lighter socket remain powered even if the car is switched off and locked? I hooked up my dashcam and it isnt turning off when I lock the car! Is there some setting I can use? I dont want to drain the battery out.

Congrats on your Superb. It looks stunning in that color.

Karoq has an Off button for the AC where the Rest button is in your car. what does the Rest button do?

Yes, this is a Skoda 'feature'. I can't understand in what scenario this would be useful. All 12V sockets remain powered On at all times. I just pull out the charging adaptor of the dashcam after every ride. It is a major hassle, I agree. And half the time, I keep tossing in bed, trying to remember if I disconnected the dashcam or not

Ah, interesting. I pressed the button but it did nothing. A quick google says this:
“Rest” as in “Remaining”.

It turns on the blowers on a low setting for about 30 minutes to blow through the warmed air or in summer the air-con cooled air. It only works if switched on within a short time after turning off the ignition. source

oh man. Guess I have to follow suit, or tap the fuse box with a hardwire. All online research points to the same thing - you cant power it off when you shut the car down.

Great choice, glad despite the Skoda horror stories you didn't pass up on a great car (good call on the extended warranty!)

May Nightwing serve you for millions of kilometres happily.

Did a mini photoshoot (didnt have my camera, restricted to using my mobile), attaching the best of the pictures

One of my favorite angles!

The DRLs give a scary look to the car at night

Alas, I had to part ways with Nightwing.

I've detailed the closing remarks on the main Superb thread (Skoda Superb : Official Review).

Mods - please close this thread.
