But I think my problem was travel kettle. It clicked on my mind when i went to Liverpool few weeks ago. I used my travel kettle to boil the water and found out that my 12v socket stopped working. i was really panicking and eventually found out that fuse was blown (it was my gut feeling as well). now when my rain sensor stopped working, i was going to skegness and that day i used same travel kettle too.
in foot note, i used same travel kettle with my previous car without any problem..i bought it from tkmax.
This could be (not sure, just guessing based on the discussion in the link below) caused by a bad/broken fuse.. Hope it helps!

Thanks both for your response!
It happens even when phone is not charging so it must be the cheap socket plug that causes the issue.. Luckily everything else seems fine in the car electronics so I'm using Aux instead of BT to get around this.
And I still recommend the lumbar cushion for those who suffers from back pain on long journeys

I've been using the blutooth audio streaming in my Octy with Bolero and it's been working fine, now I've bought a lumbar cushion with massage function from ebay (great on long journeys) that I connect to the 12v socket near the handbrake.
The problem is when I have the massage cushion on the audio streaming gets very laggy and cuts a lot.
Any idea what might be causing this?

Don't think it's possible.

Did you scan the car while the engine was running?
If you did then it's probably nothing to worry about, clear the codes and run it again with the engine off.

If you dont have it in the infotainment as shown above, go to Central electronics > Adaptations > look for Acknowledgement signals/feedback signals (don’t remember the exact name) there should be 3-4 channels you need to activate to get it working and showing in the infotainment.
Mine is a 2015 (without alarm system so it uses the horn) and I'm not sure if it's the same for newer models so have a look.
Btw, I love that feature and everyone else hates it

It's actually very common that a running car will throw errors.
Clear all errors and run diagnostics when the engine is off, that's how your dealer does it.

If you don't have Canton sound (with subwoofer) you shouldn't expect much from the system when using SD, CD or USB.
I don't have Canton however I only stream audio via Bluetooth and in my Samsung phone there is an extra bass setting which made a huge difference in the car!

His inbox is probably full.
I'mafraid it is!

I think ist just Skodas solution to hide the small side bulb which lights up the eyelashes.
IMO not as good looking solution as the new Superb.

Is it this sign?
If yes then its just Front Assist

Something's still a little off. I've tried using both VCDS and OBD11 with no success.
I've got an SE Sport with Factory/OEM Alarm and I've done it before on other VAG vehicles without any issues.
Go to Central electronics > Adaptations > look for Acknowledgement signals/feedback signals (don’t remember the exact name) there should be 3-4 channels you need to activate to get it working and showing in the infotainment.
If you give me a screenshot of all your settings in Acknowledgement signals/feedback signals I can compare to my settings later today when I'm home.

Can anyone please provide a link?
Aki78 is on vacation I think

Version 0490 is now available for Briskoda members.
If you are interested please PM your gmail address (instead of posting your request here).
Please don't upload it to file sharing sites but feel free to share it with others.
Updating went fine, it was only 22 minutes from 0475 with my Amundsen.
The update archive is the same for MIB1 Bolero and Amundsen.
Can't PM you, it says "Aki78 can't recive messages" (?)

Can you upload a photo of this on the infotainment unit. I have searched and can't find it. Would be interested to see where it is. Thanks.
Sorry for bad picture quality and that its in Swedish but once activated it will show up under car settings > open/unlock and bottom option "Acoustic confirmation", hope that helps!

No offence, but the market leading products are expensive, as they put the R&D hours in. This also restricted the products (by price) to those that needed them and hopefully knew what they were doing with them!
The rise of cheaper alternatives has opened this up so anyone with a smartphone can now be changing settings with very little outlay. I would hazard a guess that most of these people haven't a clue what they are doing and rely on others to post instructions, support them when they **** it up etc.
There has been a noticeable rise in the number of PMs I get about 'how do I do this' or 'your instructions don't work' since OBD11 became available, to the point now where I don't respond to the majority of PMs. Why should I? In fact, I don't even read them anymore.
As I have always said, if you don't understand what you are changing, and more importantly don't know how to revert back to factory, then you shouldn't be playing around.
I don't maintain the O3 VCDS sticky thread any more, there are plenty of changes or additions I could do but don't have the time.
As for the alarm chirps, there are only a handful of settings it could possibly be to enable it, anyone who knows what they are doing could work it out in 5 minutes.
I fully respect your decision but still hopes that you'll one day change your mind regarding maintaining the O3 stickey thread, which is awesome btw
All the best,

Keep in mind that it is not all as easy as that. You can't just plug into any "version" of an Octavia and activate any of these things. You have to have the hardware on your car already. None of what you list above could be activated on an Elegance model. You need to have Lane Assist camera already installed for them to function and if you have that camera there you bloomin paid for it, nothing free about it. As regards activating the chirp for your central locking through VCDS or other diagnostic interface, unless you have an alarm installed it ain't going to be available in any menu's no matter what diagnostic tool you use.
So when you go to the dealer or order your car with some of these extras, there is almost always more to it than plugging in a machine and activating it. Hardware needs to be in place. And if the hardware is in place in my car, which I have paid for, and some feature of that hardware is not activated, my conscience is clean to go ahead and switch it on.
So its not comparing apples to apples when comparing Andyvee's stance on supporting or providing instructions on how to use a "Diagnostic Tool" that he feels is a product of Copyright Infringement - that is a completely different thing he is talking about.
True, the hardware is there but that doesn't mean that the software should be included. VAG has put a lot R&D into the software aswell!
Regarding to the chirp it's actually possible to activate without an alarm, I did it yesterday and it works through the horn with the option on enable/disable in the infotainment (I have Bolero), thanks to Gizmo who pointed me in the right direction

Possibly but in countries where no alarm is installed it uses the horn (which IMO sounds awful) ... not sure if it then uses different coding as all UK models get the alarm as std.
Thanks Gizmo!
I just had to activate all other relative channels under feedbacksignals including signal via horn and now shows in the infotainment and works perfectly

Yes it can be activated on a MY17 car, FWIW there is no need to turn the chirps on with VCDS once the below has been activated as you can now turn them on and off yourself in the infotainment set up:
https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/380829-superb-mkiii-vcds-adaptations-tried-and-tested/?do=findComment&comment=4742527 - yes I know it’s in the superb section because I have done it on a few Superb’s, but the process is the same for the O3:
Activating alarm chirps locking/unlocking
I noticed on a MY17 L&K that there is no option to turn the alarm chirps (Acoustic confirmation) in the infotainment.
Controller 09 - Central Electronics
16 - Security Access - enter 31347
10 - Adaptations
Go to:
IDE02269-ENG122188-Acknowledgement signals-Menuesteuerung akustische Rueckmeldung
Change to active
You will now have the Acoustic Confirmation option in the infotainment screen.
Followed the steps but nothing in the infotainment.. is it because no alarm installed?
Thnx!

Really easy to work out if you know what you are doing, but since the rise of OBD Eleven users on this forum I have stopped updating 'how to' guides as I don't believe in supporting a product (or people that buy that product) that has 'allegedly' stolen intellectual property from the market leaders.
No disrespect Andyvee, I'm a big fan of your work here in the forum.
Maybe obd11 is stealing from the market leaders, I don't know, but are we really the right people to decide?
We are shearing a how to on HBA, TSR, lane assist etc for free which is stealing in the first place!

Hi Andyvee,
So it's not possible to activate on a late 2014 (MY 15) vRS?
Can you please give me the steps to enable both the chirp and menu?
To try on an older MY.
Thnx!

I've got a MY17 SE Sport and even when enabling the option via vcds and obdeleven, it wouldn't appear in the settings.
It gave me peace of mind as I knew I could easily tell that I've locked the car without really looking and when little scrotes were fannying around near the car I could press the lock button and made them disappear half the time.
Gave up trying now :(
Ok so it doesnt appear in settings but does it work, do you get any sound when you lock/unlock?
Also, can you tell me what steps you did with OBD11 and where you found the guide?
-
Here in Sweden it's not an option as it's forbidden, but I want it anyways
Please help!

Hi Ben,
What infotainment system do you have?
I have Bolero and just want to check if it's possible to activate, I've read that it wasn't working properly for others with Bolero system.
cheers
