Alright the consensus seems to be that there's no easy way. Unfortunately this was the first and only Octy RS I have ever driven - it was a great price and liked it so much that I got it on the spot! I got curious because I am considering OEM+ Stage 1.5 for it (basically upgrading all intake parts but skipping the expensive intercooler and exhaust needed for a true stage 2). Parts themselves are $AU1.5k and the stage 2 chiptune is $AU1.3k on top... so that's a big saving if I can go with the tune I (might) have. Yep, in the nanny state of Aus no less. Having said that it doesn't seem like anyone cares unless you're hooning (or look/sound like you're about to hoon), and its not a stretch to think the dealer pleaded ignorance or didn't care enough to check.

So I got my Octavia Mk III a while ago, used from the dealer, and it has an APR Stage 1 badge on the back of it. Is there any way to confirm whether it still has the stage 1 ECU tune? I have an OBDEleven but I don't think that will do it.

Brilliant, thank you! I was dreading popping off more panels but this one came off real easily and was readily accessible. FWIW, I can confirm that the seat bolts do not ground, even if you replace the bolts with conductive equivalents. Ah damn saw this too late, but thank you regardless!

Hi Skodians, I have an Octavia Mk 3 (2014) vRS Hatch, and I'm so close to finishing a full audio install in it. But I can't find a readily available grounding point near the passenger (left-side) seat, where my amp is installed. I'd usually use the seat bolts but they appear to be painted on both ends. Does anyone know of a nearby grounding point that's relatively easy to get to? Cheers!
