Depends on the market. In Lithuania style does get full rear lights.

You can still get every single thing you mentioned here, what changed were specs and pricing.

Are you trying to somehow spin that it's an expensive car? Octavia is easily the cheapest car on the market for what you're getting in terms of spec. Boot rubbers supposedly were being replaced by Skoda during services.

Some condensation is totally normal, headlights are not sealed to be vacuum tight, air gets in and condensation happens. It should clear up when they warm up though.

Guess we'll see! 😀

Which countries do? I know for sure Germany doesn't, Poland doesn't, Lithuania doesn't and even Škoda's home country Czech Republic doesn't have any cars or info about the delays.

To Lithuania it took less than a week to arrive and then a couple days until they prepped it and I had time to collect it. Hungary is even closer. UK seems to take a while, probably because of the beautiful new border and the fact that it needs to take a ferry/train.

What is stopping you from going to another car manufacturer and ordering there? It's the same thing everywhere... Only Kia/Hyundai and Toyota can give you a car in a reasonable time, but only on models which aren't that high in demand to begin with. Everything you're describing would require Skoda/VAG to make a new system to inform customers/dealers about their stock/manufacturing schedules, which costs money. Which would then still probably be unreliable because on some Monday 10 workers wake up with covid and the schedule is blown up again. I think you should relax, take a walk and realize that you're complaining about having to wait a couple of months extra for a new car. I'm currently trying to order an IKEA wardrobe, they don't have basic wooden frames for three months now and they are literally made here in Lithuania. But I'm zen about it.

No I didn't, I asked what's up every 2-3 months and the dealer said: not much. Then when the manufacturing date finally showed up he wrote me and then they missed that date I didn't even ask again until he wrote me that the car is coming already. Dealers don't know anything, they order, it shows them it's either accepted or declined and if there is a date or not. There are probably a hundred things at play here which have to all align for your car to get manufactured. There are different markets which all have different specs, dealers probably (not confirmed) have quotas of how many cars they can get, they also seem to stock up for certain models and then push out many of the same type at the same time. I asked my dealer how bad it was going lately and he said it was pretty slow at the end of last year, especially for vRS models, but this January alone they had 7 vRS cars and some normal ones delivered.

I was waiting for 7 months till I got a manufacturing date, then they missed it and it was delivered a month later. 🤣

No one knows the differences between modules except for Škoda themselves. My car was produced after 27 November 2021 and it does work... so far... 😅

No one knows it for any car anymore, if you want to figure it out you basically need to go out and measure it with a string all old-school, but it doesn't make that much of a difference for a street car so no one does. You could maybe try to find out what it was on a MK7 Golf, a lot of people have track setups on them so maybe someone actually went out and measured it. But there is still no guarantee that it's the same on Octavia.

Yeah, that is exactly why I'm still thinking. Basically 8J ET44 would stick out 10.7mm more, wheel would be wider for the looks and it would still stay close to stock in terms of scrub radius. ET40 is only 4mm, but it's still further away from stock, I don't think I need it.

In a Lithuanian price list it does say that Bolero has WiFi. Maybe it's just software gremlins? Something was left disabled after an update like some people had happen before on this forum.

Basically if you do not have automatically adjusting lights you don't need an option to select the driving side, they can't swap sides anyway.

There is WiFi under settings, it shows my phone as connected. But I never went in there before.

You can buy one of the wireless android adapters, even Motorola makes one, if you don't trust the chinese somewhat unofficial versions. https://motorolasound.com/audio-products/android-auto/ma1 https://www.cpeb.it/ https://carsifi.com/ all the options I can find quickly, but they have so many orders and most of them were kickstarted so delivery times are pretty long. And there are chinese versions, don't know about their quality/support though.

I am currently also debating between 8j et44 and et40. I know for sure et44 would fit in the wheel arches, while et40 would be on the limit, but some wheels like Brock B38 have ABE on ET40 8J so it should fit fine. What has me confused is the fact that AEZ/DOTZ configurator spits out warnings that ET40 would need wheel arch modifications, but maybe they are just overly conservative. It comes down to ET40 sticking out 14.7mm further than stock wheels, people are running 15MM spacers just fine so it should fit perfectly fine.

Ordered 2021-05-03 Received 2022-01-27 Lithuanian version of the RS, extras: heated windscreen, wireless charger, double glazed front windows, Canton. Came with software version 1889, everything works flawlessly so far. Graphite grey is a wild colour, inside it looks grey, but on a gloomy day outside it looks totally blueish grey like quartz grey. I even got confused after I left the dealership, stopped at a gas station, got out of my car and the colour was so different 🤣

So I'm just reporting in, just received my car, it also has Bolero and software version 1889. Android Auto wireless works flawlessly, I connected to the car using bluetooth, phone suggested that android auto is available, followed the instructions and it connected.

If you're going on a long journey what is stopping you from just plugging it in then? Wireless android auto is great for every day commute. Also remember that the screen is off during it, screen is still using most of the battery on a phone.

You don't need to connect to WiFi to get wireless android auto. The procedure is to connect with Bluetooth and then you get a prompt asking if you want android auto.

Both WiFi and Bluetooth have to be on on the phone at the same time for wireless android auto, do you have both on?

The price lists in all languages say wireless android works. Basically 10" screen always has wireless android auto.

This happened on my mothers Tiguan too, what helped was updating the Android Auto app on the phone.
