Hey guys. I am looking to purchase some interior accessories for my son's new (to him) Skoda Fabia III (29/06/2021 Registration Date). When I purchased a load of accessories for my Kuga, there was a retailer that sold brand new but discounted genuine Ford accessories (IIRC, it was Rates Ford in Grays, Essex). Anyway, despite being a Ford dealer themselves, "Rate's Ford" prices were always at least 20% less than any other Ford dealer I tried. Is there anything similar where I can purchase brand new, genuine Skoda accessories, such as floor mats, boot liner, cargo nets etc?

Thanks for the replies guys. Thanks for that pab567. I'll have a look later. From reading a few posts on here, your name seems to come up a lot when SatNavs/Infotainment systems are mentioned, so thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. It's much appreciated. Would you happen to if there are any updated firmware and maps for my son's infotainment system unit and where I can download them from? Not sure of the name of his current system, but have attached photos of software version screens, in case they are of any help deciphering which system he has: Thanks once again.

I have now managed to activate the Skoda Connect Services, but on receiving a confirmation email, it states the service expired in September 2022, so I guess the original owner had an initial years worth and never continued with it. How can I get this again?

Hi Guys New here, having recently bough a Skoda Fabia III 1.0 SE L in Titan Blue Metallic (I think that's the colour). This wee car was bought for my son's 18th birthday and it is a nice little car and my son loves it. The advert for this car has now gone, but I'm sure it was supposed to have amongst other things, Cruise Control, but I cannot seem to find out how to activate it. It does have "Speed Limiter", which I have tried out but that is something totally different and I have to wonder if the seller got mixed up. Is there anything similar to FordEtis (when it used to work), where you can check the original build details of your Skoda? This Fabia is now 4 years old and I want to make sure everything is up to day regards head unit software maps etc and also need to get some genuine Skoda accessories, such as mats, nets etc. The car came with the Amundsen SatNav (see photo) and not sure which version it is as it DOES NOT have the in glovebox SD card unit and I cannot find any other SD card slot to use for updates. Does this model use the USB instead? The display seems a bit bland on this head unit and I have to wonder if there's any system updates that inject a bit of colour and extra features into the head unit? Also, I tried to activate the Skoda Connect Online Services and it will not complete setup despite receiving the code from Skoda. When I open the MySkoda app, the car is shown, with "Activation Required" underneath it, but tapping "Activate", takes me to a white screen of eternity. :( Another thing is the voice control does not work. It says on screen that I need an activation key. Is there a way to get this activation key without having to visit a dealer? So many questions and I will probably have some more in the coming days. I look forward to any replies or advice.
