How do you find that info using obd11? I have it with a pro licence but have never came across that option...

CarscoopsSkoda's Octavia Gets A Second Facelift To Catch Up With I...Spy photographers have snapped an updated Octavia, which features changes inside and out So this randomly popped up on my newsfeed this morning. Nothing too exciting, no real mention of any ground breaking changes be them aesthetic, mechanical or otherwise... I just find it interesting that they're throwing out another facelift model so soon after the 4.5?

Factory reset is an option in your infotainment settings, anyone can apply one at any time. It can help sync your system after updates and such if it's playing up. Btw what do you mean, the car is 1994?

IIRC most user's recommend performing a factory reset after the update, seemed to iron out any bugs.

Is it the 1989 update? There were some problems experienced by a number of those who updated to that when it was originally released, if you search for the thread/s I'm pretty sure you'll find some interesting info in amongst them.

I can confirm Kieran @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits is a cool guy, knows his stuff and will be only too happy to help. Had my Octavia in with him a while back

Are you left with any warning lights on?

Unfortunately it was over 18 months ago now, and I no longer have access to it Have you checked all the links in this forum? Do a search for 1985 and it should take you to them

I went straight from 1896 to 1985 and everything went fine

Have you looked at the app settings?

I have traffication, mine doesn't give me notifications as such but it does work, as in shows me where roadworks are etc. I get an audible warning when I drive by a nearby ferry terminal, but not sure if that comes from traffication or navigation? The only thing I can suggest with the service campaign, would be to sit in the car for an extended time and see if it completes. My shop update has been installing for the last few days now, but I'm only currently making short journeys. Another user I speak to frequently on here has told me the same update took a full 30 minutes to apply in his car, without any interruptions

Seems you have an Octavia 4.5 whereas I have a 4, so our MIB's are different, however, I can't be sure but it could be traffication only gives audible warnings when navigation is in use? As for the app update, I currently have a shop update which is taking a while to install. Just got be patient

Only had an issue with my alarm once, it was just after I'd had it in for MOT. Took it out on a run the next day and, when parked, the car was unlocking itself and the alarm went off a couple of times. Thankfully I have the connect app which alerted me to it as soon as it happened. It only lasted for that day though luckily, I too thought it was something to do with the battery, had it been disconnected during its MOT? The truth is I'll never know.... 🤔

You'll have to let us know if there is a 1999 update

You can feel the difference between normal and sport mode, mainly through the steering IMO. I usually use sport mode if I'm carrying passengers front and back and I'm out on a run, just makes the steering feel more weighted and secure. Haven't bothered with ECO or tried to customise my own

As far as I'm aware, you can't unlock SFD2 with OBD 11 just yet. They're meant to be working on it, but I haven't heard anything about it going live

That's from an octavia 4.5 by the look of it, won't fit yours

Lots of threads on the subject in these forums mate. Perform a search for the word infotainment and it should take you straight to them

I didn't experience these issues myself fortunately, but have read through countless posts on here from those who did. And yes, it would seem ghost touches is quite a common symptom of the problems some people had or are still having. Just depends on whether or not you think 600€ is worth it, to stop the hassle. That is actually cheaper than I'd thought it would be

I didn't even realise your rear parking sensors applied the brake! Unless it's model specific

Do you have a codec pack installed on your PC? I've used K-Lite for years, it's compatible with all kinds of file extensions. Could be worth trying to install that then see if you can view media on your PC

I'm pretty sure I've seen VAG 18" space saver wheels on resale sites in the UK such as eBay, I could be wrong

I take it you've read through many posts on here detailing these issues. I'm not sure software updates alone can help fix your problem, from what I gather a new screen (head unit) is needed, which isn't a cheap fix unfortunately.

I'm after one which has parking mode, so needs to be connected to a power source at all times. The USB socket only works when the ignition's on I believe
