Can the steering wheel voice command button be linked to Android Auto instead of Skoda's system
Not sure if it’s the same with Android but with Apple car play you can use the steering wheel button for both. Press the button and you get Skoda voice control. Press and hold and you get Apple car play with Siri. Might be worth trying press and hold with your Android.

Same for me.

CarPlay and phone calls
There may be a better method but I use Siri to control the phone. If you press the voice control on the steering wheel quickly then the standard Skoda voice system kicks in. If you press and hold the voice control button, it activates Siri. That’s how I make my phone calls.

OBD 11 Functions listing for 2015 Octy 1.4TSI
I am very much a beginner with OBD 11 but I have managed to make a few changes to my 2016 VRS using the coding in the VCDS sticky. OBD 11 has a search function in the adaptations and, even though the different elements are not in the same location as on VCDS, I just searched for the words in the sticky thread and changed them once I found them. I have not had any problems with OBD 11 except, as others have suggested, when I tried to use the built in apps. For example, using the app for enabling cornering fog lights only did half the job (inner bulbs only, not outer ones) but using the adaptations listed in the sticky thread worked like a charm.

Best lowering springs and wheel spacers for mkIII combi vRS 4x4
When I specced 4x4 VRS, one of the differences the 4x4 made was that the normal lowered VRS suspension from Skoda could not be fitted and the ride height is the normal one. I was told this was to do with the Haldex diff. The ride height suits me due to the roads I use but I’m curious why Skoda couldn’t lower the suspension when after market kits can.

Sasha’s Octavia vRS
Yes. When I bought the next gen version, they hadn’t sorted out the IOS app other than to use the OBDEleven mini apps. Since then the main app got updated and you can now do adaptations and long coding on IOS.
