Stop lane assist beeps
Find any 1.5 version of ELM327 on aliexpress like: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001287644836.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.c94538971b9i3z&algo_pvid=0f9b6567-14e0-4f49-b543-e12b5ead7193&algo_exp_id=0f9b6567-14e0-4f49-b543-e12b5ead7193-3 Regarding beep sound problem I don't think VW group will ever allow to disable this safety feature. Maybe timer can be extended but that is it. If I found something I will let you know.

Stop lane assist beeps
There is physical protection when changing coding parameters, you will not be able to write any options with hood closed. You will get write error.

Stop lane assist beeps
Coding Octavia NX gets complicated because of SFD protection for the majority of the modules built in the MBQ Evo platform cars. But The specific module responsible for Lane Assist (A5) is not protected and yes you can disable lane assist completely or like me configured it to remember the last setting. Which mean if you disabled it it will stay disabled. You have couple of options: Pay somebody that have the required cables and software Buy obdeleven https://obdeleven.com , but be aware that currently obd eleven doesn't have SFD integration and only options you can change are lane assist and climate options Buy VCDS https://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/ with cable, the same as above, currently there is no SFD integration (beta version is providing offline token support) and you can only change limited number of options including Lane Assist Buy obdapp https://obdappshop.de/, it is fully integrated with SFD and you can enable a lot of predefined features if you buy a flat-rate option. Use VCtool https://vctool.app/ with cheap ELM327 OBD adapter, It has SFD support (very expensive now, each token is 35€) but SFD is not needed here and If I see correctly this setting cost 0 CRD, so it is free for single activation. Available presets: https://vctool.app/available-presets/?model=Skoda Octavia A8&culture=en-US You need to: driver assistance (module A5) > long coding > Configuration for lane departure warning KI15 > change to "last setting" Don't forget to open the hood.

Where to buy SFD tokens?
The cheapest one on aliexpress: $3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001287644836.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2ccf1ba1LCcAJu&algo_pvid=3bdbdb4c-33a0-45a2-93ca-ab24edcfd72c&algo_exp_id=3bdbdb4c-33a0-45a2-93ca-ab24edcfd72c-9 It uses bluetooth and it works on win10, android and probably older windows because it uses serial over Bluetooth. And a little update. It seams that beta version of VCDS also supports external VCDS tokens. All wee need now is the cheap source of tokens. https://car-diagnostics.eu/blog/vcds-beta-21.7.1-modelljahr-2022-und-sfd

Where to buy SFD tokens?
Does anybody know where to buy SFD tokens to unlock protected modules. VCTools (with cheap ELM327 $5) can enable most of the adaptations for free but all interested ones require SFD unlock. Each tokens cost 35€ which is too much and I don't know if module is locked after each adaptation. Software supports loading eternal tokens and generating SFD token requests so if someone knows where to get SFD tokens cheaper, please let me know.

Activate driving profile without mode button
Is it possible to activate driving profiles if this feature was not initially ordered with the car? I don't mind if I don't have physical mode button.

Mk IV estate boot shape

Unfortunately VCDS can't open all modules on new Octavia (waiting for the new VCDS version). I will post my modules with versions as soon as I find my old laptop with windows.

New 20 plate 2.0 150ps owner
Yes, 2.0 TDI with 150hp is a very nice engine. Mine with DSG on a highway 300km (130 km/h + ACC + Traffic Assist), two children and a wife 4.8 l/100km (with frequent overtaking 150km/h).

My Fight is over
I had a same problem with satnav favorites and other car setting but I was driving the car using demo user. As soon as I created new user and make him primary user using both car keys after that everything worked perfectly. Under user you can chek when tha last time user setting were synchronized with cloud. If this synchronization is not working that could be the reason of lost settings (and driving with different keys).

My Fight is over
I have zero issues with mine but my is LHD with 1803 sotware version. Lane assist and traffic assist work great expecially with combination of DSG and navigation. I disabled steering wheel vibration in the Lane assist configuration because it scared my wife but everything else is great.

Accessories for Octavia Combi
www.kopacek.com had a 20% discount on any item so I bout couple of accessories for my car: 1.Floor mats (30 euro) - perfect millimeter fit, both front and back with horizontal lines for easy cleaning (I had some with square pattern, impossible to clean when get dirty) 2.Rubber mat over the rear tunnel (7 euro) - Perfect fit, highly recommended especially if combined with floor mats 3. Plastic boot dish (40 euro) - perfect fit (choose option for your boot type) 4.Pedals for DSG version (60 euro) (there is also RHD). This one was actually for Octavia III, but I found on the Internet that the same model fits Octavia IV. Perfect fit! 5. Stainless steel door sill covers (45 euro) - Didn't mount them yet, they look very stylish 6. Rear bumper protector (40 euro) - Fits perfectly 7. Boot LED lights (35 euro) - very bright LED lights, easy to install. Now I can actually see something in the boot at night.

Traffic sign recognition
I tried it in a traffic jam on the highway and it works perfectly. This weekend last 50km of my highway was a mess. First full stop, then stop and go and then 30 - 60km/h with frequent braking. All this 50km I just kept my hands on the wheel and the car did the rest. I also tried it in the city but it is to aggressive for my taste (there is style option for ACC but i didn't try anything except normal. I will try comfort mode and let you know)

Columbus or Bolero
Same here, not a single problem with pACC and Travel assist. If I use navigation it will let go of the accelerator couple of seconds before actual sign (example 130 limit on the highway and 100 sign before tunnel) and just slowly break from 110 to 100 instead of breaking from 130 to 100. I really like when it outs car in neutral copule of hundred meteres before roundabout or intersection and slowly break. If I don't want for Travel assist to break on a sign I just put my foot on the accelerator.

Octavia IV Lane assist How to turn it off
Not true, lane assist memory function can be enabled using VCDS without SFD tokens. I did it on my car.

Latest Store update has Navigation
But this is Columbus infotainment which should come with the navigation already builtin.

Different language for interface and voice navigation
Is it possible to have two different languages for infotainment interface and voice navigation. I'm asking because if I configure infotainment for for local language i loose voice commands (OK Laura and button on the wheel). If I use English language for the infotainment, navigation voice is misspelling street names. Any of this custom options would be fine: Configure language for voice assistant Configure language for voice navigation (all navigation devices have this configurable independently of device language)

Radio station logos
DAB stations or FM?
-
Radio station logos
Dispersing logo problem is very simple. DAB standard specifies that each station should transmit logo (ETSI TS 102 81). If DAB station is not transmitting logo you CAN'T add it manually. When it seams that logo appears, it is only because the radio lost DAB reception and switched to the FM (you can notice this in the underground garage or tunnels) and then it will display the logo from local database in the infotainment. So when you don't see a logo on your favorite station you should complain to them or just disable DAB and use FM only.

I had an issue with saving setting until i created a new user and promote this user as "primary user". Before, it was a "guest" user logged in the infotainment and after each car restart, settings went to default. It could be that "saving settings" is related to the online services and if skoda connect is not working that could be a source of your issues.
