As previously mentioned, there is a software update available to cure this. Workaround: Turn on the ignition without starting the engine Wait for Xenon dance to complete Start engine.

I've seen it sometime where Apple Carplay doesn't kick in until i unlock the handset. If you see the issue again, try unlocking the phone while the cable is still plugged in. It should hopefully just kick into life.

I do this too. Saves on break wear.

I went from a mk3 Octavia vRS Manual, to a 150 TDI Superb L&K DSG. I have rarely thought i miss the extra power of the vRS, the benefits of the Superb has vastly outweighed the losses. Day to day driving, and the ability to make progress, is unchanged. I guess the difference in power loss would be even less noticeable between the 170 and 150 than it was for me dropping from 184 to 150. Plus, isn't the mk2 Suberb heavier than the mk3? Oh and you dont have to top up the 150 with urine every 5k miles liek you do with the 190

I too have an L&K and have noticed the seats don't get as hot as they mid on my Mk3 vRS. Which to be honest is a good think, i couldn't use the heated seats on the Octy above lvl 1.

Turns out the Media Unit in the glove box needs replacing. Warranty job.

Thanks for the reply Mickey, but it didn't work for me :(

Picked up my new Superb yesterday and know i'm having this exact same issue. I paired the phone fine yesterday and made some calls. But then i tried Carplay. After a while i decided i didn't really like it and went back to using normal Bluetooth phone calls. Now i can make the call but no audio comes through the speakers. Ive tried all the usual things - re-pairing phone, checking volume. soft reset of iPhone 6, reboot of Columbus, removing all Carplay settings. etc. Has anyone else seen this? Did you get to the bottom of the issue trebor737?

If your budget is around the £100 mark (I couldn't stretch to the Bose) try this. I've been really pleased with it: http://www.richersounds.com/product/wireless-docks,-speakers-and-portables/cambridge-audio/go/camb-go-blk

Kenu Airframe Discrete, looks good, does the job. Both SWIMBO and I have one.

And dont forget about "Its because of the tyres"

I dont have a problem getting my MTB in the back of my Octy3 hatch leaving all the wheels on. It goes ion rear wheel first then has the front wheel pointing upwards with the bars side on to the bike frame. I guess it will be even easier in the SIII

I had a similar conundrum when the 3rd came along. I couldn't get a 10yr old, a 1 year and a newborn in the back of my FL Octy 2. I looked at the Superb, but didn't fancy the idea of the eldest always being in the middle seat, which isn't a "proper" seat and had reduced foot room. I therefore went for a S-MAX as all 3 seats are the same size, individual and can independently moved around.

I had my water pump replaced 6 months ago too. No issue since. Agree that there appears to be a faulty batch out there somewhere.
