Using your indicators momentarily disables lane assist 😉

Temperatures have dropped and therefore my keyfob has stopped working. Exactly the same thing happened last winter. What a fantastically engineered system 😒

My station logos were updated with the 1941 update, albeit some of them aren't the right logos 🙄

Mine doesn't 'click' but there is definitely a knack to making it work. I've added it to the (long) list of things that are slightly worse in the MkIV than the MkIII 🙄

Personally I prefer an estate to an SUV but each to their own. On an unrelated point, where was the photo taken? Looks like the lake district somewhere but I can't place it. Ullswater?

They should fix it under warranty. But as an owner of a Skoda with a sunroof I have to say that the touch controls are naff and difficult to use. Bring back proper switches

So you wanted a CD player but didn't check it came with one before purchasing? 😉 CDs HAVE gone the way of cassettes and 8 tracks unfortunately. I remember when I bought my 2003 plate MkIV Golf from new that came with a 6 CD changer in the glovebox, it was like all my Christmases had come at once. Seriously though, the solution to your problem is to rip your CDs to a high-resolution mp3 format and then load onto a USB stick that you pop behind the gear lever (as you've done). BINGO, your entire music collection available in your car. NB: CD is not a high-fidelity medium, it's a compressed format like all digital audio.

My dealership almost knew I was going to mention the dodgy infotainment system and software update before I did. They did the upgrade (under warranty) while it was in for a service. I'd suggest either pushing them or finding a better dealer. With so much software built into cars now, saying things like 'our wifi is secure' is bordering on incompetence.

I regularly see a VRs in the Phoenix Orange on my commute, looks fantastic! To the OP I'd go with the grey, silver never really 'sparkles' however much you polish it, a dark grey when polished and waxed looks very cool IMO

Larry transitioned to Laura when my car went in to have the 1941 update applied. Bet that was a shock for him.

Good tip! This all relates back to the software not being properly designed for the UK market and RHD cars. In a LHD car the passenger controls would be the drivers controls and therefore the 'master'. See also: the sat nav only working in km.

When I bought my used 21 plate MkIV the dealer provided a 'goody bag' in the boot which included the umbrella (actually quite good) and the ice scraper that lives the petrol flap (completely useless). I had no idea there was also a space for an umbrella in the passenger door (this would make sense given the cars are available as LHD and RHD come to think of it) Anyway, long story short I may now have to source an umbrella for the passenger door for Mrs Woodhouse to use 🙂

There are other threads on here which suggest that unless towbar prep was specified from the factory that the vehicles are 0 rated for towing, which seems a somewhat dubious practice from Skoda. It's also been mentioned that the same applies to the Kodiaq, an SUV favoured by people who... like to tow caravans, I think it may also have been suggested that this was an administrative error by Skoda rather than intentional. I'd be interested to know if more recent cars are coming out of the factory as 0 rated? I have a 21 plate which is 0 rated, I have no intention of towing a caravan or a trailer but do have a towbar mounted bike carrier that I might want to fit someday, again, other threads on here provide different opinions regarding whether one can attach a towbar mounted bike carrier to a 0 rated vehicle. We had an aftermarket towbar fitted (for the bike carrier) on our 63 plate MkIII Octavia and it was faultless. Well done Skoda 👍

Yes, funnily enough I've just returned from the dealer about 30 minutes ago. I was booked in for a service and when I dropped it off I said there were a few 'bugs' I'd like them to look at, note that I intentionally didn't start by saying I wanted a software update. This then lead to a conversation about the infotainment system restarting and the ACC issue which the receptionist seemed to be well aware of and said she thought a software update might be required!. I then produced a printed copy of the TPI document listed on page 12 of this thread with my particular issues highlighted. Long story short they have applied the software update and no issues experienced on the (admittedly very short) 8 mile drive home. They have also sorted the Primary User issue and setup the online services for me. Very happy with the overall service received tbh.

That's seriously impressive 🤯 What does that equate to out of a tank? I thought I drove economically but clearly not! My 56mpg was mainly but not exclusively motorway / A roads. Might start experimenting with some different fuels...
