cagey

Looking at your post and screenshot, Ozzy 25, the App on my phone is showing exactly the same as yours. Completely useless. Does not show any of the information the Connect Portal says it should show. I also downloaded another App called Skoda One App. This does connect to the car and shows the information that Skoda Connect is supposed to show about the car but is obviously not as good as the Skoda Connect App is supposed to be if it works. "Simply Not Clever"

I gave up with the Skoda Car stick did not appear to work that well and I could not connect my phone to it. Having contacted Skoda customer services they advised that I would not be able to connect the phone to it, which I found hard to believe, as (like Wg100 said) it should make the car into a mobile WiFi connection. I have purchased the Huawei wifi modem E5577C and this works well and I can connect my phone to it. Thanks to DickB for the recommendation.

I went through Briskoda parts as suggested and apparently the part Nr is 000051409F and cost £120. Decided to go for it as I have a data SIM already.

Thanks that's brilliant. I will send them an email. Did not know about this. Thanks for your help.

Nothing there unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the link. Apparently this will not work in the Skoda. Needs to have the C at the end of the part Nr.

No it is a Huawi dongle with a Three data SIM. I have had a reply from Skoda customer services eventually, initially they said they did not support other dongles but did not tell me what they did support. After getting a little annoyed with them, Skoda informed me you have to buy the Skoda car stick reference 000051409C from Skoda for £130 and insert your data SIM in that! Simply not clever. Have not yet tried to purchase from my local dealer as having difficulty justifying the expense.

I have a new Skoda Octavia purchased in September 2017 which has an Amundsden Sat Nav installed and in the handbook it refers to a USB Car Stick which I thought was just a standard dongle in which you put a data SIM card to allow connection to the Internet from the car without using your phone. However the dongle did not work and Skoda Customer Services said there must be something wrong with the dongle and to go back to the supplier. However I have used this dongle in other devices and it has worked fine so the supplier said it must be the car's USB connection. From internet research it would appear you have to have a Skoda Car Stick but I cant seem to find anyone in the UK that can supply one. Does anyone out there know about this. Seems ridiculous that the car's system will not recognise other dongles. Simply Not Clever!!!

I took the car back to Clist and Rattle again and this time they removed the whole glovebox assembly and replaced it with new. This does seem to have cured the problem. I now only get a creak from the glovebox every now and again but it is not frequent and tends to occur when the roads are particularly poor. Thanks to everyone who has responded to this thread. It is always good to know you are not alone with a particular problem.

Clist and Rattle are going to have another look at, but if that does not work I may well try your idea. On one occassion I got my passenger to push against the glove box door and that seemed to stop the rattle. So making the door a tighter fit may well work. Thanks.

I have an Octavia II Elegance 2.0TDi which has a very irritating rattle coming from the glovebox. The car has been looked at by Clist and Rattle who thought they had cured it by replacing the glovebox door. This cured the problem for about 2 weeks before the problem returned. What is even more annoying is that the rattle is worse when the car is cold and if the sun has been shining on the car the rattle goes away. The car is only 7 months old and apart from this problem it is a great car. Has anyone out there had the same problem and found a cure?
