UPDATE Spoke to Skoda UK I bought the car from stock to avoid delays at the end of my contract. Had i specced voice control, then according to the brochure, it's a £35 option. Skoda confirmed that the upgrade via dealership involves plugging the car in and downloading a code.That's it. BUT, they can set the price of "labour". So they quoted me £175. No parts involved, just plug in and download. And dealerships wonder why service customers avoid them.

Ag falko thanks for that. Press and hold activates the phone when Android Auto is connected. Brilliant! A good work-around. Thanks. I just hoped the voice activation was built in. RickW the info set is the Amundsen with sat nav. I had hoped to use voice control via the infotainment rather than the phone. Can't believe the "key code" for that is another £200

Just picked up a new Fabia 3 SEL last Friday. When i push the voice button I get a message telling me I need an activation code from the dealer. While I was there today on another issue (start/stop error requiring new software . A known current issue with the cars, apparently.), I asked about this. I was told £130 for the code and £65 to install. Is this for real? I didn't query it, just thought stuff that for the ability to say "call home", but I wonder if we were at crossed purposes. Can anyone help?
