New VRS, no CD player, retro fit?

Not so - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC -
Reversing camera retrofit - connecting up
devopuk replied to NikTheGeek's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm looking at this one on Aliexpress that has the dynamic lines and shows that it connects to canbus. I sent a message to ask where it connected to canbus and was sent back a picture of the head unit highlighting the connector block diagram on top. Any thoughts on it before I pull the trigger? https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/8F3xooJ4B Thanks -
Just got my VRS Challenge on Tuesday. Just hardwiring my dash cam in, attempting to re-attach the damper arm for the glove box, thought a bit more light would help with this. So went to the boot to get the detachable torch/boot light - not there, not as in it wasn't in the slot - there was no slot! It's no longer there, is this standard for all MY20 VRS's? Simply not clever Skoda! (Estate model)

For the insurance being lower, I would think that's because the Challenge has front sensors with front assist. Insurance companies like automated braking, I use LV and it specifically asks if your car has this during the quote.
-
From UK brochure Note - when it says parking sensors it means it adds front sensors (vrs has rear sensors as standard). Mine's coming later this year, as you say I'm not really that keen on Kessy but I think there's a mod to stop Kessy unlock - so have to use fob to unlock but rest of Kessy functionality is intact (locking and start/stop)

https://www.motor1.com/news/350036/skoda-octavia-wagon-spy-photos/ No more twin headlights! And mildly off-topic how/when do we find out if there's any updates for current MY20 Octavia's? I've got a VRS Challenge coming (requested October delivery) so wondering if they'll be changing anything?
-
I believe so (I'm hoping to do the same later this year) I looked on DTE's website and the part numbers are the same (actually the same for all mk3 Octavia's)

http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-original-Skoda-kit-for-spare-wheel-change I think it's this one (different for RS though)

I got a hair dryer on it for about 20 mins. Did the trick and lies flat

Mudflaps for FL vRS Estate
devopuk replied to Hotwheels12's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Definitely mate. Can take pics tomorrow if required. I've still got the FL rears (need to sell them!) The FL part number for rears has got A at the end, you need part number 5E0 075 101 with no A at the end, these will fit -
Mudflaps for FL vRS Estate
devopuk replied to Hotwheels12's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Stop! Don't buy those rear ones for the facelift vrs, they don't fit - the underneath screw hole is in the wrong position. I know I bought a set from superskoda, then had to order the non-fl version as they fit (I know sounds crazy!) -
Cornering Fog lights vs Dynamic Cornering
devopuk replied to wg100's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Afaik the dynamic cornering lights are the fog lights which come on when turning a corner below a certain speed (e.g pulling into a drive) -
Cornering Fog lights vs Dynamic Cornering
devopuk replied to wg100's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Octy F/L has LED, these lights do not "steer" like the Xenon's do (I had a Yeti prior to F/L Vrs octy). I presume it's because the beam spread is much wider than Xenon's. The octy certainly lights up the side of road more than the yeti's Xenon's did. -
Rotate the dial to 12 o'clock position (it will turn through 360 degrees either direction) don't worry if you feel resistance to turning past the L and R part, it's meant to feel like that
-
I'm assuming the wheel/paddleshifters were from an Octavia VRS? Would the shifters fit a new Mk3FL Octavia's? If so what's your best price inc. delivery?
-
Wonder which BW this was? 2017 FL production https://youtu.be/7mk3backkao
-
That's good to know cheers. I'll order some up!
-
And yours also has the arch "winglets" as above?

I wonder if they're the reason the Skoda mudflaps are marked as "not for rs/scout"? http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-17-Facelift-rear-mudflaps-original-Skoda-autoas

vRS245 ordered club
devopuk replied to themanwithnoaim's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yes, Park Assist has 12 sensors rather than the 8 for just front and rear parking sensors, as Juan27 states the extra 4 are mounted on the sides as on my Yeti. Don't panic I'm not a spy in the camp, I've got an Octavia VRS estate coming in October....
