Thanks spcdust. I'll renew the Remote Access and leave the Infotainment Online to expire and see what happens...

I use Google Maps via Android Auto for sat nav. Does anyone know whether this will continue to work without a subscription to Infotainment Online?

Hi Stonekeeper, Looks like I did. A "registration fee" of £55 was included on my original purchase invoice but I was unclear as to was it was for... John

Skoda are asking me for £36 for a year's subscription to Remote Access and £44 for Infotainment Online. Any views as to whether this is worthwhile? Having bought the car new a year ago, I was not expecting such a bill and I am not clear about what will stop working if I don't take up their offer, nor whether I can subscribe after the renewal date if something important to me stops working.

I now have a reply from my dealer. They won't consider making the change to Lane Assist and are quite clear that such a change might possibly invalidate the manufacturer's warranty. I shall live with resetting it every trip, which is not the end of the world, but it is a nuisance...

Dear UltraRunner, many thanks for your reply. I will take this up with my local dealer and let you know how I get on.

My Octavia VRS has default settings which reset every trip. Some I consider to be unsafe on my local country lanes, e.g. Lane Assist and Stop/Start. I want a way to stop them resetting after I have switched them off through the infotainment system. My Skoda dealer is reluctant ro consider doing it for vague and unspecified "safety/insurance" reasons. Has anyone managed to get this done while preserving their manufacturer's warranty?
