KPH/MPH
Oh I do love how there's no problem if the computer can't find it. Had that on a Vauxhall years ago. Might ring them as the app is nothing to do with the dealer.

Is there an easy way to report faults? Tempted to report the lock/ unlock via app not working

Annoying things about the Mk4!
I think so. The WiFi is only payable if you want to connect your phone to it in the car.

Coming through the onboard SIM

True. I had the update and I'm on 1688 though.

I think the software version is something major that Skoda will apply. These seem to be very small updates ota

Owner/member ideas
Yeah the little silver wheel looks a little cheap in the vRS in comparison.

Skoda connect problem
Anyone got the lock/ unlock via the connect app working? I'm verified by the dealer but still no lock/unlock option on the app

New Octavia 2020 vRS?
Looks like most vRS owners are on fixed services. Driven economically???

Wireless android auto
The infotainment data is limited. If you want an internet connection you have to pay for it. Use the hotspot on your phone. My android auto in the car doesn't mention wireless at all so I don't think it's an option. To be honest I'm not sure why people are so keen to have it. Ok useful for a 10 minute journey but anything longer I want my phone plugged in so it's not dead when I get there.

Short USB C cable for dashcam
You'd imagine so but I think it would be easier to just go for a dashcam wire kit. It's kind of on the wrong side for us in the UK anyway...

Mk4 boot liner
I've been tight so far and cut down the one from my Passat to fit π€£

Sound insulation
If it's a decent road I'm not sure I'd expect too much noise at that speed. Not like the engine is working too hard or anything.

Annoying things about the Mk4!
Here's an irritation of the software. Pressing the heated steering wheel button brings up the AC menu. Really annoying as you then have to reach over to turn it off. Voice activation seems sensitive too so had to turn off the target word so hopefully that's sorted that.

Annoying things about the Mk4!
I've seen this issue somewhere else. Ended up having the light fitting replaced. I realised yesterday I've messed up getting the MK4, purely because the wife has a Mk8 golf so we're both going to have the same issues π Luckily none so far. But seeing familiar comments between this forum and the golf MK8 one.

Faults reported to dealer
Bizarre. My car did seem to log my out today and took three times to log back in. Not helpful.

Faults reported to dealer
The lock/ unlock via app seems to require approval from Skoda/ the dealer to register you on the skoda connect system. I've asked me dealer to approve me at the weekend

Wish I was allowed out for a drive. Not supposed to drive anywhere without a good reason. Tempted to go to work just to use the car βΊοΈ

It is a little odd that they've called it the Mk IV but then also have the IV MK IV π

Octavia Mk IV irritations: poor LED lights and Auto hold traumas!
Love the LED headlights on mine but I did get the vRS which has the matrix ones. I think the basic headlights are reflector lenses still. Had electronic handbrake and autohold for years now and wouldn't go back.

Same here really. Although only just sub zero

Except that they could both do with a wash I notice I get a lot of water building up on that boot lip though.

Returning a car to a dealer?
We're you able to test drive the car fully? If not you might have a 14 day cooling off period? It is possible to reject a car but I don't think it's easy. With modern cars there are always going to be electrical issues in some. The golf 8 is full of them apparently.
