Android auto maps issues
I've tried recentering allright and also going back to factory settings on Octavia, still no joy. The annoying thing is that it works perfectly on another car. Been keeping the phone in the same place I always had and it's always worked before. Anyone know if there's been recent software updates? Car is 2016

Android auto maps issues
Recently my maps has packed it in, will come on and let you put in directions etc but the GPS locks where you've started the car and won't move along with your journey, so no idea where you are so it's worthless. Installed waze which is a bit better, but find it very confusing and according to a friend it's not working like it should. Figured it was a phone/maps/android auto issue and played with the settings to no joy and very frustratingly it all works perfectly on my other car... A bloody Hyundai. Only thing I can think of is that my Skoda doesn't have it's own independent gps, but the Hyundai does, so I wonder does the phone work off the cars gps rather than the phones when struggling but that sounds very sophisticated... Any suggestions before I just try resetting the cars infotainment system because can't think of anything else to try

Skoda Octavia 3 Owners register
Thought I'd look for a little bit of appreciation for my second vrs I've had since October. Hatchback Diesel, my first one, financially written off in a crash was the estate and had the 19" extrem alloys that I miss a lot but also really like the 18s when the light hits them just right. My second has a lot of features the first didn't, a pan roof, canton sound and subwoofer, full leather with grey trim and heated seats I didn't have before. Haven't don't much messing with the car other than a vrs rug in the boot, a dog guard that might interest some people and I've added the honeycomb centre caps and nut covers pictured that I like but amn't too happy with the how the quality has lasted either.

Dash Cam recomandations
I bought the Halo Road angel very happy with it, no screen and I love how tidy it fits in front of the mirror it looks very sleek. No gps though and no rear camera on mine but some models are available with rear I think. Download incidents via WiFi connection with mobile phone. I also bought a USB extension cord to run the connection neatly under the driver's seat and out again under the passenger seat, I wouldn't be one for hardwiring it into the battery unfortunately

Engine coolant question
Hi, apologies of this is in the wrong place or already answered elsewhere. My 2016 Octavia VRS has red/pink engine coolant in it and has just gone below the minimum line. The manual was useless as to what type etc to put in. The coolant tub in the engine says G13 on it so I got G13 coolant. However this is green. I don't have a mechanical bone in my body but a lot of people say not to mix two colours, some seem to think it doesn't matter. So my question is has anyone topped up their coolant with a different colour and was there any issues? And what should I do put in this coolant or see if I can find a red coloured G13 type. Cheers
