CC/ACC - What to do with my right foot...
My Passat used to have the foot rest both sides. Shame Skoda didn't think to do this.
-
Dashcams
I'm using a Garmin mini one. Nice any tiny. Doesn't have a parking mode though
-
Keeping the selected preferences
Skoda messed up. No way of saving these things at the minute. Really annoying isn't it

VRS PETROL MPG Competition

Cars without wireless android -> update available!!
It's a shame you have to visit the dealers to get the update. I likely won't get this done until January for that very reason.

Upgrading to Trizone climate control from dual on the vRs after purchase - possible?
That's it, let the other half freeze with the kids. Have a look on the climate menu see what options are in there.

Inspection service following break in period
Our local vw do a check after 1000 miles. I asked Skoda about this and they don't. Never had it on any other cars either to be fair so I'm not worried about it.

Keyless lock and contactless boot issues
Never had an issue. Apparently my car doesn't do the lock/ unlock via app though.
-
Climate controls - settings saved?
Including the temperature being synced? Mine stays the same except for the sync option which always resets. It is frustrating
-
VRs Seat Comfort?
Just done 600 mile round trip in mine and no complaints

My Octavia Mk IV
Luckily just over the border. Love it up there! Thanks guys.

My Octavia Mk IV
Absolutey turn Laura off. Heading to Scotland myself next week loaded up with kit and canoes for a little trip. Looking forward to taking the vRS a little further from home 😁

Why are people still ordering Octavia IVs?
I've had mine since January and done 3000 miles due to lockdown. Minor niggles with infotainment that are easily fixed, the joys of something so modern really. Had to do similar on my Passat which I had previously. Forums are always going to be filled with problems, it's why most people find them after all. Living the Octavia otherwise and I'd certainly buy it again even though I loved my Passat.

More infotainment troubles
That screen needs a clean 🤣 The warning triangle is just warning you of the fault you already know about. Electrical gremlins, hopefully you'll never see it again
-
Later Mk4 builds.
The problem with dealer updates is mine is a good half hour away and generally they don't book cars in for updates. They'll just do it when it goes for a service

Answering a phone call
Use Google. Press speech recognition and call.

Later Mk4 builds.
Over the air update?
-
Dashcam cable??
Depends what you need but I think everything has crept up with covid. Angled USB c was hard to find
-
Answering a phone call
Just click accept on the right wheel

Octavia MK4 not approved for towing.
I think my VRS can tow. Not that I ever intend to.
-
Dashcam cable??
I've got this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078163B16?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have had to run it across the housing to the camera rather than round but it's just long enough. Wanderer the one you've listed is usb A

Octavia Mk4 aftermarket towbar
That's the one I used. 😁

Planning to Tow With a New Car - BEWARE
So is yours a iV aviationnut? All the rest say they can tow on the image above
-
Rear Wiper On Estate.
I like it but I turned mine off. Useful but annoying in most situations
-
Want Octavia Mk4 Estate 1.4Tsi iV SE L - but confidence shaken...
I love my Octavia. No real issues to be honest and certainly no more than and other new car.
