I tried it a few times but was never happy. In the end I purchased a better phone plan with more data and use Android Auto. The car either forgets my phone, or I have to select it from a list of one connected phones every time I get in. I can't be bothered!! I hate the way I have to select my preferred engine mode every time I get in the car too, and also that I have to SYNC the air conditioning every time, if I'm in the mood. And I sincerely hope there's been a fix for the start-up kangaroo by the time I go for my first service!! Outside of that, it's quite a nice car! Enjoy yours.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. Likewise. How do you check the date of manufacture?

I was just becoming aware of vibrations in 2 cylinder mode. It creates quite an unpleasant resonance in the cabin. Initially I thought it was road surface, but these are roads I've driven regularly. I'll run the car for a while and then go to the dealer for their comments.

Mine is just 1 week and 1 day old today. Enjoying it so far. Very pleasantly surprised with the economy I'm seeing reported with the 1.5 TSI 150. I've had diesels for the past 16 years and had been expecting a desperate drop in economy. So far averaging high 50's on MPG, and still climbing. My 13 mile journey to work in the morning is returning around 60MPG down the M42 from Tamworth to Birmingham, and only dropping a couple of MPG in heavier traffic coming home again. Annoyed with Skippy in the morning!! The gearbox is rather notchy, especially when cold, with third gear particularly difficult to select sometimes. Niggles: Having to select my phone from a list of one phones before I can use it. Having to set driving mode every time I start the car, if I want to use anything but "Normal" and having to select "SYNC" on the heating every time I start the car too. SatNav is frustrating as every selected destination shows up as "Off-Road" which is not very comforting if you don't really know the area you're navigating to. The suspension is a little softer than I'm used to, but I'm sure I'll get used to that soon enough. Can anybody advise whether Skoda Connect is worth it? It seems to get terrible reviews.

Not sure I trust it, especially if I'm not familiar with where I'm going. Guess I'll stick to Android Auto for now. Thanks for your help.

i've tried both, and so far without much success. It returns random destinations or "off-road"

Maybe I'm being stupid but I've had my new Octavia since Wednesday and have not yet been able to enter anything into the SatNav that it will actually accept. Could somebody please guide me on how to enter and have it recognise a UK postcode? Thanks in advance. Hallcyon
