What is this 'dust'? We only have mud in blighty. Could dust be dried mud? I guess we'll never know...

17" wheels are great! I cannot tell any difference in the ride from standard and they look correct IMO :sun:

...and it's been available since May...

That may still be the case! I can wait though... :no:

I've only just got my dealer to agree to contribute as I was on holiday, then Kate, then him! He's on my side and trying to get Skoda to pay as much as poss. The Mib is on order though!

I too am enjoying driving the the car Mick, it's a little cracker! The thing is, Skoda should have had an upgrade path for early adopters as they clearly did not launch a finished product. At very least a paid for sat nav option should have been available. After a lot of table banging, my Kenwood Mib is on the way and having seen one working its very impressive. We don't all want or need tech in our cars, but false and empty promises was not the way to get sales from the ones who do. :sun:

Kate has tried for a week to speak to my dealer and failed! As she has now gone on holiday I guess I'm foobarred

Blimey! you couldn't make this up. I'm going for the MIB....fingers crossed

I have now given up with the xperia z3 compact (supposedly one of the two phones that work) as the connection was so unreliable and have raised a case with customer services. They made me quietly laugh when they asked 'what would my expectations of an outcome be?' to which I said hmmm swap the car for a new one? ok he said I'll put that down.

No way accept the Garmin, they are £30 trade, we need a better solution. Maybe they could get a bulk trade deal with Pioneer.

Yeah I'm liking the car too Kev...holding my breath! I had a look at the Pioneer solution which has been around since 2012! Skoda could have easily offered this as an option. £300 - £ 400 though!

Looks lovely in Pacific Blue Mick. Which apps worked?

I was asked if I wanted the auto lock activated on my SEL and it works fine!

Tsk.. it bothers me that they don't even see it as an issue as if we are annoying flies. Mind you, enough midges can ruin your day!

apparently Sygic does work but not very well. It wouldn't be such an issue if a) Sygic was competent, b ) it was a reasonable price and c) you didn't have to change your £500 phone for another £500 phone to use it at all! The compatible phone list is ridiculously restrictive and the app isn't good enough. If Skoda had reckoned it wasn't broke they wouldn't have fixed it would they

The best phone theoretically is the Sony xperia z3 but Ive heard even that doesn't work properly so forget about mirror link. Try and get your dealer to upgrade it for the new Bolero with smart link when they are available. Thats my plan anyway! the more of us who complain the better.

I doubt they've got the nerve gadgetman ...mirrorlink is **** and they know it.

...and what the hell is wrong with Black?

I am using the iPhone solution as Mick 50, and it is workable for now. The point is we have been miss-sold and Skoda need to give us some customer service. The last thing they need is bad press in a very competitive market. I am not letting it ruin my new car experience but I will fight to the bitter end for my rights. It begins here Skoda...

I might get mine changed if it can be done! :wonder:

I've used a 64gig and flac files...sounds awesome!

The sat sat nav is really what its all about, for me anyway. No sat nav option so mirror link comes to the rescue...except it doesn't. I want google maps to mirror onto the bolero like it should, and Skoda are going to have to fix it for us.

Digging my 17" clubbers...(shallow I know)

Don't be too put off UsefulG. I've driven hundreds of cars in the Police and privately and this new Fabia is top notch. The tech is very good and the Bolero is very good...but we all hate missing out on something better for the same money by a few days/weeks. Skoda should realise this and compensate. They would SAVE money in the long run by the good will this would generate. Despite all this, at the moment I feel my next car will be another Skoda albeit with a bit more planning!
