Thanks again. Found it at last.

Thanks but those options are not on mine.

Thanks but mine doesn't have the virtual cockpit.

Thanks. I'll try that. I presumed that would be from when the car was new.

Yup. Tried every combination I can find. Will just have to do it the old fashioned way with a paper and pencil. Anyone remember them?

Thanks for trying to help. First .... I wouldn't know where to log in to Skoda. I access the user manual from a 'welcome to skoda' email I got when I purchased the car. I input the VIN number and the manual comes up. When I use the scroll wheel on the right of the steering wheel there is no mention of Trip Counter or Odometer, which is why I ask here. There is also nothing in the infotainment screen that is applicable. As said initially I can see how to reset the MPG but see no way of simply resetting the trip mileage. If I reset the MPG to 'from start' that reading is deleted after each trip. When I go on holiday, or a trip away, I like to set zero the mileage when I start and take the full reading when I get back. With the way this MPG is set up the readings are deleted after each leg of the trip. All I need is what has always been available on non-digital dashboards .... a wee button to reset. Not a lot to ask?

Thanks but can't get to that without a login. Can you summarise?

New 26 plate Fabia Hatch SE Edition 1.0 TSI 116 PS DSG Anyone know how to find and/or reset a trip counter with this all-digital interface? No wee button to press now! Can't find it anywhere and no mention at all in the user manual. Can set MPG per trip but that's not really the same. Thanks for any insight or help.

Thank you Tangoss. I did indeed check my phone settings for bluetooth and found the Share Contacts button switched to off. Switched it on and contacts started to import. Got to say I've never been much of a phone user so didn't even know there were any settings for bluetooth. Thought it was just on or off. Many thanks for your shared wisdom.

Had no problems with bluetooth connecting for Android Auto but have just checked the bluetooth settings and there is a 'contact sharing' button. Will check that out tomorrow and report back.

Thanks. I'll try that but may not work as it would not let me import any contacts to begin with. I could see that method working if contacts were already imported.

Getting along quite well with my new SE Edition 1.0 TSI 116 PS DSG after the first week. Finding my way around most things but have one wee niggle. Does anyone have knowledge of how to set up a phone (android) with this 8" display system? I can call up contacts and make calls using the phone section of Android Auto but the dedicated phone section from the menu just comes up as a load of blank 'favourites' boxes. It won't allow me to import contacts or add anything to these favourites or add any phone numbers. Been into Settings where there is a selection for Import Contacts but that does nothing at all. I can input a number and make a call but that's it. I realise the Android Auto method works but surely there should be a way to set up the phone section independently? Thanks for any help on this.

Just collected my new replacement to the 3 year old. Now Fabia SE Edition 1.0 TSI 116 PS DSG in Black Magic Pearl. Short drive home and a wee bit mess about with control settings and we are ready to go. Feels pretty good. Many small changes to take in but am sure I'll get used to them shortly.

Thanks for that useful information. So, not such a daft question really.

As with most of my questions this may seem a little strange! Will be taking delivery of my new 26 Fabia DSG on Tuesday coming. This will be the first car I've had since those heady days of my 1963 Morris Minor that has a START button rather than the key turn method (back to the dark ages?) Now, technically speaking .... key fob in my pocket and press the button to start ... does this mean that the key fob is transmitting a signal to the 'system' which impersonates the ignition? (or something like that) If so then does this mean that the battery life in this type of fob will be less that in a normal fob? And .... as my wife usually carries the spare key in her handbag, in case of emergencies, might that mean the BOTH keys could have shorter battery life than the usual fobs?
