Thanks, Yes mine has b&w tiles.

yes it will do 2 BT connections also. I only found out when my work phone rang on the system, very useful feature, my previous car (Fiesta) didn't have the facility.

interesting how to get the latest colour graphics, i have the same unit but not colour.

sorry

Umm, difficult one, my last Octavia had canton fitted, and since it being written off last month, struggled to find a replacement. I finally got one without canton, but with the 9.2" system. Yes the canton was better than standard, but not revolutionary.

Yep, works with Google maps.

Sadly at the end of March I was involved in an accident in the trusty Skoda, sadly written off, so i've been without wheels for a couple of weeks. The issue was finding a similar spec'd car to replace it. Took delivery of my new car this week, which is spec'd up similar to my old one, so very happy to be back on the road and back in a Skoda. Here's to many more happy miles. Can't fault the insurance, Qutoemehappy, agreed written off on Monday, fully paid out on Thursday.

So my 2017 Octavia was on variable servicing and was due the oil service after 20 months/17,000 miles and the inspection service 1000 miles after that. Booked it in and they did both together as it wasn't logical to go back after a few weeks Collected the car after the text and video and yodelling! Only to find that they had changed it to fixed annual servicing, took it back today to get it changed back to variable which they did, BUT now the oil service is 613 days and the interim service is 20,100 miles/ 365 days After going back in and complaining that it wasn't fully set to variable, they insist that it is and that an inspection is every year Any ideas, as I'm not convinced they are telling the truth.

Sounds like they are using the remnants from another paying customers kit and not the full kit, its one of the high profit bolt on items. They often do 5-6 a day depending on how busy they are. The detailer whom i got a quote for, takes 2 days, 1 days prep and 1 day for the ceramic protection to apply and cure inside a temp controlled room. I can see why it costs £500 for that level of service.

I had my last car done by my friend whose a valet-er for Audi, he did a great job for £50. I had the car for 3 years, and the difference from others cars I've had that weren't treated was that washing was far easier, dirt came off quick, the alloys dirt never stuck on. Never had to polish it over the 3 years, as soon as jet washed, quick shampoo, car completely beaded up and looked great. Sadly he's retired, so will be hopefully getting my new car done, had it 6 weeks, by a local detailer. Cost is £500, and that's for a full clean, machine polish and a ceramic coating applied. The process is 2 days, whereas the dealer supplied option is probably a couple of hours at best. My friend had his GTR done, and the results were amazing, like a mirror once machine polished.

Here's a link to my photos of the Geneva Motor Show 2018. Had a good couple of days dreaming! https://photos.app.goo.gl/5Xl0tY6TD2nYLB932 All photos are copyright to myself, of used please credit. Enjoy.

Was a good could of days at the show, if a little warm in the halls. Approx 24C Here's a couple of snaps.

I inadvertently snapped off one of the dash switches yesterday

Bought my Octavia last week from Platinum, can't fault the service from initial email enquiry from Autotrader website to actually getting there to test drive and buy the car. A 400 mile round trip was certainly worth it, especially the price.

Android all the way!
