Latest Infotainment version Bolero
paulobrien replied to aldouk's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Many thanks to @aki78 for sending me the process for this. I went from ancient version 421 to 475, feels a bit quicker but not been out for a proper drive yet! I did get hangs and all sorts of weird things on the old version, so hopefully they are fixed. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOMv-6aQbxp1scsEx2gRZSpjHGW6sG6NMG_t06U3KVYegw3stvKdx7FBz4qyyDEOQ?key=djVGT0hqZ3I0bk43aHYwZXBnUVpMaTJkWFRKVWNn P -
Headlight tweak to extend HID lifespan
paulobrien replied to xpower's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Ah, this is great! Where can I set sidelight DRL brightness to 100% rather than dimmed as they are now? I basically want sidelights with ignition off to replicate the 'off' position on the switch with ignition on. P -
Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!

Hah! Simliar config to mine but with the Geminis! Love the contrasting silver of the rails! P -
Some Pirelli Sottozero 3 225/40/18s going on the Pictoris wheels later this week... P

Yeah, I have the silver Pictoris and the silver rails, my first choice would have been yours with silver rails. P -

Not often you see the silver geminis. Very nice. P -

Tinted by the dealer... P -
Intermittent DRL Failure

Part came in next day and is being fitted as we speak... P -
Intermittent DRL Failure
paulobrien replied to paulobrien's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Interesting, sounds like 2 potential causes, water ingress in the control unit or the headlight itself. I've not noticed any moisture in the headlight itself yet so fingers crossed...! P -
Intermittent DRL Failure
paulobrien replied to paulobrien's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
According to the dealer it's water ingress in the control unit, they brought it into the waiting area to show me. New one should be here tomorrow apparently so I will update then... P -
Intermittent DRL Failure
paulobrien replied to paulobrien's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Love the way the pic shows the left one... P -
Off to the dealer tomorrow for them to investigate an intermittent DRL failure, indicated on the dash and clearly visible on the nose. Hopefully just a loose connection! Assume nobody else has had this? P

What colour are you repainting the calipers? ;-) P -
I think debadged cars look too plain. You pays your money etc. etc. :-) P
-
Another gratuitous shot. P
-
I agree, however I'll post a full shot, remember it's a big old slab of a car. ;-) P
-
And they're on! Not the best pic but you get the idea! P

More vRS coding tweaks found

It's more for novelty than anything else! P -

paulobrien replied to xpower's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
If you do work out how to remove the warning when enabling road signs on Bolero that would be epic. EPIC! Did the mystery of the intermittent coming home lights with auto main beam ever get solved? P -

paulobrien replied to xpower's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Nice mod, although I never actually use sidelights, partly because i'm always on 'auto' but also because i've set my rear LED lights to be DRLs too. P -
Keen to hear what they are but something is broken! P
-
Yay, not just me then! Any bigger pics? P
-
Not everyone's cup of tea... but I fancy vRS badges on the wings of the car. Following on from my previous Chinese import antics, I ordered some. <£6.85 for the pair delivered. They arrived today and are fantastic quality with tape ready to go on. They are ever so slightly bigger than the rear badge. The car is too dirty to put them on, but i'll post pics once they are! P

Bolero from new Fabia III to Octavia III?
paulobrien replied to jair101's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Fingers crossed for a way to add Mirrorlink, I've had a good play with it in a Golf and it's great! P -
No fear. :-D P
