Sasha’s Octavia vRS
I know this is an old thread. I would love to do this on my vrs at some point, having power folding mirrors would be a luxury that is handy for parking in certain places. Currently the settings(excuse the dust, haven't had time to clean it) on my car under mirrors and wipers does not have the setting. I am assuming that once you have installed everything and coded the correct settings like explained the options for Fold away after parking will appear? Also is there a part numbers for the 592 and 593 modules, do I need both? If my car has 392 and 393, do you have both or either or I am confused on that part? Is it possible for someone to let me know part numbers for the switch and mirrors also?

Boot Light/Open Issue?
Do you happen to know a part number for the boot lock, so I can replace it to rule out the micro switch? Or is there a way to fix it at all? I'd like to sort it if I can so the lights work, and I can't find a part number anywhere. Cheers.

Estate boot storage?
I will take a look cheers, have been looking at similar things on amazon today as well. Also looking at the possibility of building my own flap down door for the storage compartment too.

Estate boot storage?
Hi all, I am just curious what people have done for storage space, specifically if you use the 10" built in sub housing unit on the left side of the boot. I've been looking into different options of storage, as I have a spare wheel in the wheel well, so do not have that option. Other than buying a storage box bag, to keep tools etc. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried or managed to fit the storage compartment flaps from the superb to the octy?

MATCH PP AUDIO SET UP?
Hi, I've just bought the match pp 62dsp and match pp 10w-q - 10" subwoofer. Does anyone have a match audio fischer set up on their car. If so is it all plug and play or did you connect anything to the battery. How does the car perform since the install if all totally plug and play, and any battery issues. I have a 2015 VRS which has start/stop. This is all new to me the pug and play but I've been assured it all connects and works up fine. I'm just a tad anxious about power and battery.... If I need to connect to the battery then I'm very anxious about disconnecting it due to hearing how many issues that can potentially cause once it's been disconnected and reconnected. My dad used to work in the car industry fitting audio and alarms, and he is insistent on the amp and sub having to be connected to the battery, but has never worked on newer cars or ones that have this kind of technology. Thanks

Rear bumper standard vs vrs?
Hi all, Today I finally had good enough weather to change my badges and de-badge where I wanted to. I had bought new a rear bumper protector, however upon removing the horrible silver one from the previous owner (who for some stupid reason unknown had drilled/screwed it into the bumper!!!) there is slight damage on the lip that the cover went over on the edge of the bumper, I'm guessing which is why they installed it in the first place. The one I have to replace in black does not cover the lip only sits in the middle of the bumper. So I was looking at this BUMPER PROTECTOR GUARD PLASTIC BLACK on ebay I have previously bought a front grille from them I plan to install hopefully tomorrow. However it says that it does not fit the VRS model? Is there any difference in the bumpers standard and vrs as to why this would not fit?

Boot Light/Open Issue?
I installed an aliexpress reverse camera boot switch. It functions as it should, everything works just the lights in the boot and maxidot not displaying it is open. What wire would need to be snipped for those functions to work again? 🤔

Boot Light/Open Issue?
Maybe I've knocked it when installing rear dash came and reverse camera possibly.... However I've never noticed till opening the tailgate at night which I don't often do. I'll take a look
-
Boot Light/Open Issue?
I've also tested having the tailgate open, whilst the car is running. Handbrake off... no tailgate open warning. Like when the car is locked with it open, all doors and seatbelt warnings work, just not tailgate. Seems it just doesn't know the tailgate is open when it is, and the lights don't work in the boot. Very odd....?

Boot Light/Open Issue?
I noticed the other day that my interior lights in the boot did not come on. They aren't blown, as I took the bulbs and put it in the glove box which does come on and they both work. Tested the plugs with a light/circuit tester and it lights up, so there is power to it, however testing it with the boot lock mechanism in locked position they're still powered. I'm not sure if this is normal or not I would assume it would close connection when it thinks it is locked and come on when open? I also noticed that when they tailgate is open it does not display that it is open on the instrument cluster like it does when the doors are open? Any ideas, I'm a little confused. Besides that, everything else works as it should. Also if the tailgate is not shut properly the alarm will chirp to let me know.... So I am baffled, it seems to work so I am unsure on what the problem is. any help would be appreciated.

Fitting a Honeycomb grill with pics (LED front Indicator too)
Would be possible, or has anyone managed to change the grill without total front bumper removal. Could you access the plastic welds without totally removing the bumper? I do have quite small hands tbh so I'm just curious.

Badge differences?
My octavia comes out of 3 month warranty from the dealer I bought it from in November, so planning to do do a few minor mods, First is to change the badges over. Does anyone know if there is actually any difference in the two of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284781459701?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110025%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPOSITELISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220405142716%26meid%3Dc3deae97da4e4ceeb2ae9f7dc38600bf%26pid%3D101506%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D25%26sd%3D386129911014%26itm%3D284781459701%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D3458402%26algv%3DAlgoIndex5SimRanker%26brand%3DPP&_trksid=p3458402.c101506.m1851 https://www.kopacek.com/skoda/octavia-iii/octavia-iii-original-skoda-emblem-int-version Thanks

Fitting manual lock to Passenger door?
Is there a build thread for how to fit a manual lock from a LHD car to the passenger door of a RHD car? Recently my battery has started to die, I've had to keep jump starting and trickle charging. I need to get the car looked at asap, I have contacted a local specialist to have it looked at, either battery is on it's way out or alternator, maybe something is somehow draining power? I've run into the issue of the car being totally dead, having to manually open the drivers door, only to be faced with deadlocked passenger door... meaning the bonnet latch cannot be correctly pulled to release the bonnet. I did manage to slip the catch over the speaker and release the bonnet but I ideally in future don't want to do this and damage it. So if there is a build showing how to retro fit manual lock on the passenger door that would be great! Cheers
