Hi Susi I installed it using velcro for easy removal and its hidden from the drivers view behind the mirror, as per Astec's link basically! - thanks Hope that helps...

I bought a mobius and fitted it behind the rear view mirror and the usb cable is simply pushed into the headlining, down the pillar and in through the side of the dash (side plate pops off) and routed to the cig lighter with a usb adapter. Very easy and not permanent!

Traffic Updates (no more?!)
Griffalo replied to Griffalo's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It used to work fine, no reports all week again and was sat in a 8 mile tailback on the M4 one morning..... Google shows the congestion areas so the sensors are definately still active. I just can't think why its stopped all of a sudden! Dealers next week [emoji35] -

Everything is working normally Andy, i haven't adjusted any settings on the nav but will check the dynamic routing - thanks! Matt thats exactly what goes on with mine, every day there was reports of traffic on the M4 between Newport and Bristol now nothing..... Definately not true! Haha. Spoke to the dealer today and it's not a subscription service and nobody else reported the problem aparently. I'll give it another week and contact them again! Cheers -

Thanks for the replies! I wasn't 100% clear in the first post but its my Traffic Reports which have stopped working (not the updates through the radio) Car is booked in for a service tomorrow so will find out hopefully! Cheers -
Hi All Had my mk3 Vrs for 10 very happy months and done 18k miles. I have Sat Nav and the traffic update feature on the Amundsen has been very useful on long journeys but last week this stopped working. Just shows "no traffic reports available". Always used to have 4 or 5 events showing whilst driving on the M4 in rush hour. When joining a 16mile tailback this morning i'm pretty sure it's not updating! Not shown a single event for a week..... Has anybody else had this problem? Does it require a subscription or anything? Thanks

Show your Octavia III Dashcam setups
Griffalo replied to Neily03's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Ordered my Mobius from carcamerashop last week and fitted it this weekend, found it very easy to route the 3m cable from the mirror along the headline, down the pillar and through the dash to the 12v sig supply (which annoys me that it's constant!) IF i forget to unplug the camera one night will it drain the battery or is there a cut off to reserve power to start the engine? -

I feel the car is more responsive with shell vpower diesel, no difference to mpg as far as i can tell. -

Quick Question- one key or two?
Griffalo replied to andy361's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yes my vRS came with 2 keys -
Where are all the vRS's?

I passed there at 3 ish so it wasn't me haha -
I got my 3 year old the Recaro Monza Nova 2 its a seatfix system so you don't need the isofix base. Just fits straight into the car's isofix points. They are classed by child weight.
