The trailer had rear steering which pushed the back out onto your side of the road a lot further than anyone could have expected apart from the lorry driver, a normal trailer won't have come over your side so far and there is no way you could tell with it coming towards you.

I've disabled it via VCDs as it keep cutting out just as I wanted to pull away!

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
simonk1969 replied to mmp669's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I've got the Octavia Lauren & Klement 15 plate DSG with ACC, the car will bring you to a complete stop after a couple of seconds it then tells you to put your foot on the brake. If you don't after a couple more seconds the ACC is deactivated and it will release the brakes and start creeping forward. If the car has brought you to a stop but the traffic starts moving again before the warning has stopped and ACC is deactivated then the car will start moving forward again. Would be much better if it just held the car on the brakes for longer but unfortunately it doesn't. I still love my ACC though :-) -

It's the shortest in distance, not in time.

There's another thread that says 'I think it either needs a sim card in the car itself or an Android phone that support RSAP (Remote Sim Access Protocol)' http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/391268-columbus-wifi-hotspot-internet/

Blackvue does, just hold the button in for 10 secs and it formats SD card! -

Thule roof bars 120cm vs. 127cm (hatchback)
simonk1969 replied to Geek42's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Just wondering if you purchased these roof bars in the end and whether they are any good. Thanks Simon -
I've just completed the update without any issues, I actually did it with the engine running, started the update before I left for a couple of hour journey, then set off and it completed with 35 minutes. I guess the warning about not turning on the engine is during the process as it might cut out the radio but if you start it before beginning the process and leave it running appears to be fine. Just got to get round to getting the VCDS out and clear the errors.

As per the subject is there any way to limit the car speed to the road speed limit as shown in Amundsen SatNav? Or do you know of any device that can be plugged into the car to do this? Failing that any advise on the best GPS Speed Camera alert device that alerts you whenever you go over the speed limit for the current road? I'm fully aware that the best speed limiter is my foot and the road signs on the road, but at the moment that doesn't seem to be working well! :-) The ACC does help a lot but looking for the best additional options to assist me. Thanks Simon

Maybe just an option to extend the amount of time that the car will sit stationery before requiring you to put foot on brake, would just make it so much easier in start stop traffic on M25!
