Has any of you with an iphone and version 2.0 used it with the off factory bluetooth kit in an octavia II (rs)? If so, does everything works? - phonebook? - connections stays when phone is in standby? Any expierence to share? I want to buy it to replace my hp ipaq (must stay on to be connected, does not work when standby, memory drain when bluetooth connects etc...) but just want it to work in my car... Rgds

Eventually got the phone holder removed.... Also ordered a new frame for the phone and a new strip for passenger side...(around 15€ each...) Also got Bluetooth PDA working without cutting out too mutch...just don't put pda into power saving mode and it works fine. Drains the battery but that's not a big problem, as i charge it in the office and at home (maybe for some long journey's it could be a problem...) Still going to try another pda, because my boss had the same problem with his hp ipaq pda, changed it to another (qtec one) and does not have any problems. will borrow his, and see.... Rgds Begie

Will give it a try tommorow....thnx

Thnx and sorry, don't know how i missed that one..... Rgds Begie

Anyone know where to get some of thes seatbelt covers? Have a pair of them now with sabelt on them, but are needed replacement and think it would be nice to have them with vrs sign on it. Already searched thru internet but did not find the right ones... Rgds Begie

Went to the dealer this morning....removed phone holder, mouted my gps with hiding the wires etc.... The linked up the computer, but didn't found where to change it. Went trough interactive menu, looked at several things (including ant-carjack etcv..) I suppose the comuter they use in the garage is the vag com...(sort of touch screen computer on a trolley...) If someone outthere knows the exaxt codes to use, could you tell them to me??? I looked at the list in stu's site, didin't found it either, and also don't know if that are the same codes as on the dealers computer??? Thnx Benny

Next to the info button on the stream radio, i have on the right a button called AIM (i suppose it's also on the right in GB?). When you press on it you get the options to play the last recorded messages, and als a setup button where you can set up the 2 time periodes where the stream has to record the messages...

I'm not so far from SPA away, and afterall, it's a joy to drive, so distance does not matter. But i'm more fore rallying (sometimes copilot, organiser also...) Even thinking about hiring a factory skoda octavia kit car for our home rally (a dealer nearby has some rallycars). Dreaming of the fabia wrc, but unfortunatly, that's not in our budget... I've already heard the roar, and its a very nice sound....

I will see what my dealers has to say, but if it's not sorted out by september...i'm practicly sure you will pass within a mile of my home. I live a little bit more that a mile away from the e40 highway from brussels to Aachen...so if i don't get it sorted out....i will lett you know... Thanks already for the offer....

Driving a BMW 320 touring with msport kit and 18' wheels for the last 3 and a half years now, i had to look out for a new company car..... After some test drives I had decided for the RS tdi octavia (diesel is a must for our company cars). When i picked up the car, it was disapointing for me......and this for 2 reasons... - An ugly phone holder, but it came standard with bluetooth - no auto lights... The auto lights, that's my mistake, i ordered the wrong thing myself:mad: , the phone holder will be removed shortly (thanks stu..). After this first disappointment, i started to get to know the car in more detail... - I got the LS Sound system, and i must say, what a sound......even full power, there is little distortion of the sound, but i can't bear it for a long time, i would get permenant ear damage. - The stream radio/cd/mp3...what a delight. Put in a cd with mp3 files, and it plays them flawless. With around 200-250 songs per cd(and i can put in 6 cd's), who needs an ipod.. - The traffic information recording, perfect..: first thing i do when i start the car in the morning is to press the button and get the latest traffic information, with also the location of the speed camera's...(they are announced on the radio here in Belgium) - The bluetooth connection to my pda: a little less happy, but it works. Once i figured out that i cannot let my pda go into sleep mode (connection will be lost) everything else works like a charm (phone book on maxi-dott..) - The maxi-dott: a lott of options and settings (and apparantly i didn't found all of them yet). For the anti-carr jacking option on my Bmw, i had to go to the garage and had it changed...now i can do it myself.. - The power: i will have to get used to the front wheel drive again, but i already can say it's awesome...and i leave a lot of other cars behind at the traffic lights.. - The first reaction of other people when i told at work i ordered a skoda....you a skoda and not a bmw...why..do you have troubles with management...can't you get what you want? - second reaction after i showed them the car, took them for a spin: would this fit in my car budget also???? The car is not yet a week old, i have almost 1000km already, i didn't find out all all of the secrets yet, but i'm loving it every day more and more...... I have a good feeling and it keeps getting better...and if i had to choose all over again....i take the same choice again (maybe with auto lights this time, but i will get over this one also...)

How can you set it via the maxi-dot? I'm going to the dealer next saturday, to get the phone holder off and also to get ridd of the wires of my tomtom in the dash. Will asked him to do it, but if it can be done via the maxi dott i would like to know how....

Is there a way to set this, so that when you lock or unlock the car it beeps via the alarm? Some years ago i had a passat (v6) and there someone with a computer changed this after my dealer said it was not possible... Rgds Benny

On what other forum is that? I have a pda (HP) and it also seems to disconnect from time to time...but i don't have a power save option on it... And as this is apparantly not available in the UK, not alot of people on this forum have experience with bluetooth... Rgds Begie

Figured out i needed that and seems to me also a other strip above the gluve compartment? Before getting rid of it, is there somewhere a list of available phone adpaters? Rgds Benny
