Octavia iV vrs PHEV vs sportline PHEV (non-UK)
For me it's obvious. For such small difference in money I would take the VRS. Even if there would be no other differences, the VRS looks much better.

E-drive sound generator deletion/silencing?
Here on UK FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/390228318602141/posts/728347384790231/ But as far as I know, external sound is (or it will be soon) mandatory for all EV cars. https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/1/20676854/electric-cars-artificial-safety-noise-low-speeds-european-union-rules-2019-2021

Front badge question
Sorry, I have the black one. I thought they have also the color ones for the mk4. Looks like I remembered it wrong.

Hi. If it helps, I have the one from Superskoda. It fits quite well.

Really nice!

Canton Sound System Upgrade
I think it can stay in this thread since you are actually really upgrading the sound system.

Can I turn the nags off?
For Octavia in order to access the lane assist module, you need to have also the SFD token which enables you to access the module and change coding.

Nice job. Please keep us updated with the progress.

Can I turn the nags off?
In Europe, at least here in Slovenia, lane assist works quite well. But I'm still glad I was able to enable memory function for it so now I don't need to turn it off every time I start the car.

Stone chips
In Slovenia the size of parking spaces doesn't matter. There is always someone who decides to park very close to your car.

Speakers popping
If I remember correctly there where quite a few reports already about this popping sound. And it was related to the SOS unit. Did you have any errors related to the SOS unit lately?

Stone chips
I always get that killer look from my GF when we go shopping and I start looking for a suitable parking slot.

Stone chips
It's quite expensive, I agree. But the effect is very worth it. I would never do the PPF by myself. The bonnet has some very "hard to do" lines and curves. Not to mention the front bumper.

Stone chips
I think this is the problem of all new cars since classic paints were changed with water based paints which are much more sensitive to outside forces. Our second car, 2017 Fabia with 110 000 km, has a horrible bonnet. Much much worse than my ex car, 2003 Honda Accord with 330 000 km. Regarding the ceramic coating and protection against stones, PPF is the only protection that helps. I wrapped the whole front end on mine soon after I got it and after 11 000 km (cca 4 000 km made during the winter) I must say I'm very satisfied with the choice. Front end is holding very well. On the other hand I just cleaned my front windshield today and I saw there are already quite a few stone chips visible. 😞

Air Con centre vent positioning - is it too low?
I went for a drive today and I was able to direct air directly to my face. For reference I'm 1.73m high and I sit quite low.

Air Con centre vent positioning - is it too low?
Hi Paul and welcome. I own a mk4 since January and 99% of the time all I am changing is the temperature. I have air con set to auto and in my opinion it works brilliant. In the winter time I also use max defrost but that's it. I never needed to adjust any vents to blow air directly to me. Even in the hottest summer months. Happy waiting time!

There is an auto setting in the menu. But it looks like it depends on the driving mode selected. You can check the manual where to change it.
