Comes as standard.

My car was a stock rather than a new factory build, but paid £500 deposit to secure car then paid the main deposit when I picked it up and signed for it. I'd guess the process is the same for a factory build, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Mine is hit and miss as well. Amundsen connects to my phone's hotspot, but it's just luck if connect works or not. Once I'm connected, I do get online traffic reports though, regardless of connect working or not.

Thanks for that. I got worried because looking at pics of other Octavias, none of them seem as obvious as on mine.

I noticed this after I picked the car up, but thought that it was normal so didn't question it. It's on both sides of the car at the back behind the door. It looks like it's a panel that is stuck on? Is this normal or is it something that they've left on by accident?

I'll have another look, but sure I couldn't see the option.

I do love the folding wing mirrors. They don't help me find the car in the zoo car park, when I've inevitably forgotten where I've parked though!

Picked up my new Octavia Estate 1st of Sep. It's a 1.4 TSI SE L, replacing a 2015 1.2 TSI SE hatch. Love the upgrade to the SE L. Lots of new toys to play with and didn't think moving up the 1.4 would make much of a difference, but it is definitely a lot more nippy! Not had LED headlights before. That and the Amundsen are probably my favorite things. Miss the beeps when locking and unlocking though. Not sure why they removed that?

I had a bit more of a read about it yesterday and got a fix as well (working for now anyway!). It's to do with the Access Point Name (APN) settings of the phone. I'm on android so the process is a bit different, but if I take my sim out and put it back in, it asks me to choose the carrier (EE and BT on same network). If I pick EE instead of BT it works without a problem. Try that with the iPhone and see if it works. Have a look at this on the BT site and see if it helps you as well: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/51799/~/how-do-i-manually-set-up-my-mobile-phone-for-mms%3F Let me know if you need any help.

Having a similar issue with a BT mobile and Amundsen. Car sees and connects to the phones WLAN, but says there is no data connection. Did you manage to get a fix for this?

Hi Again! Bought the stock SE L a few weeks ago and it's sat at the dealers ready to pick up on the 1st of September. I asked when the car was built, but the dealer didn't know but he did say that it was an MY18. I had a look at the car last week, but didn't take note of the VIN which would have helped me identify when it was made. I've noticed that there are two manuals for the FL models (02/2017 and 05/2017). Are there any easily spottable things that I can use to tell the difference? Took loads of photos of the outside and inside of car, so can post if it helps! Thanks guys

I'll check when I go in today as I don't know if it's at a port or at another dealer (I know it's not at the current dealer). I'll give it a real good look over when it comes to picking it up. Test driving Kodiaq as well today, so I'll see how it goes!

Thanks guys. Definitely not relying on the salesmen to tell me what a good deal is! Had the current car valued at 3 places and all had the same figure. Had a few Carwow quotes on different builds this weeks and got quotes from the different dealers. This is cheaper by some way than the lowest offer I had for a factory build. Think I'll go for it as can live without the heated front seats and there's lots more gadgets in this one compared to my SE! Just wanted to make sure that there weren't any specific drawbacks to getting the stock car compared to a factory build. Thanks!

Hi ALL, I currently have a 15 plate 1.2 SE Octavia hatch and have a chance to trade it in early (value of car is same as the amount left to pay off). I'm looking to buy a a 1.4 SE L Octavia Estate as the SE L has most of the extras that I would have added to the SE and more. The dealer has offered a good deal on a stock car in the colour that I wanted. The only extra that I would have added to a factory ordered car are heated front seats, but can live without these. My question is, are there any downsides to ordering a stock car?

Shame, I hoped it would work. Maybe it might be added in one of the betas further down the line. Thanks for letting us know.
