Octy-PHEV

I bought a new Octavia last year. The salesman himself advised me to go for a credit agreement to get a £2000 deposit contribution and told me correctly that I wouldn't have to pay it back. I cancelled the deal the day after collecting the car, and was only charged £7 interest. So I'm now £1993 better off than if I'd just paid in full initially.

Yes, it's all still there after pressing the Mode button. No problem fortunately.

I've just had the automatic update from 1940 to 1985. All seems good so far.

The current MySkoda app does now work on Android 8.1. Despite the above message in the summer, it seems Skoda has kept the Essentials app still working until this week (when it's now discontinued again). Perhaps they realised there were still a lot of us with older devices.

Just got a message today saying I had 8 days to upgrade Skoda Essentials on my phone before it stopped working. Was expecting the same PlayStore message I got in July that the new app wasn't compatible with my elderly phone. But, no, it worked this time and it's now installed and working.
