Blokeuptheroad

Re Bluetooth. We switch it off on the phone but it then automatically switches back on and immediately reconnects to the car. I don't know why it does that. It's as if the phone thinks the car is some kind of priority connection. I will see if I can change the settings so my phone is first in the list. Thanks for your help 🙂

Tried turning Bluetooth off on her phone, but it automatically reconnects straight away!

Not sure (she's not here at the mo) but I think hers is first in the list when both are connected.

Yes, I can manually select my phone on the drop down if the car has selected hers. However that only selects mine for calls. Hers is still connected to android auto for maps. Spotify etc. I can't stop that. On my own, mine connects fine to android auto etc, it's just that hers overrides this when we are both in the car.

My wife and I both use the car, each with our own key. I am primary user. However, when we are both in the car together, it always chooses her phone in preference to mine, even if I have used my key to open the car. Is it possible to set the phone/car up so that it connects to my phone when using my key and my wife's phone when using her key?

Bummer on the coolant leak - don't leave it unloved. Get it fixed and get back out there!

Hi Schtum, I remember you from the Bikersoracle VFR forum, though I haven't been on there for many, many moons. I was Soup Dragon on there, and Bograt before that. I collect crap user names! Sorry to hear of your ill health, but glad to hear things are improving enough for you to get back out on the bike. I'm on a Tiger 900 GT Pro these days, off to the Picos with my wife on pillion in a few weeks. Stay safe and hope your health continues to improve 🙂👍

I would also be interested in this if your anywhere near Shropshire?

First world problems, but the voice assistant, 'Laura' in my Octavia is male and I'd like to change it to female. How do I do this?

Hi all, new to the forum and Skoda ownership. I've just collected my new to me Mk IV Octavia. After reading of the issues many have had with Android Auto, I was surprised when my phone connected wirelessly straight away. It seems to work flawlessly (so far). My car was first registered April 2021 and my phone is a Motorola G50.

Hi, I'm Dave. I've just bought a 2021 Octavia estate, my first Skoda. Early days, but I'm loving it so far!
