  1. That's missing data in the maps, which are IIRC made by a company called "Here". You need to report the missing data to them and .... wait possibly several years (it took 5 years for my last report to make it into the maps!).
  2. When you select the sat nav display what does it show - a screenshot would be helpful? Was the MIB2 Amundsen a factory fit and has it ever worked?
  3. When you say update do you mean firmware or maps? ECE1 2024/2025 is the latest maps for a MIB2 - what infotainment system do you have? Swing, Bolero, Amundsen or Columbus? BTW as this is the Octavia III forum it might be best to also ask in the Rapid forum?
  4. Amundsen OR Bolero? Amundsen has sat nav, Bolero doesn't! A 1.6 Model Year will be a MIB2 so CarPlay can be enabled.
  5. You can't, the sat nav is an integral part of the radio - you can however turn the radio volume down to zero while still having the sat nav instruction volume set to a different vaue. As others have said RTFM.
  6. It's not as simple as just voltage and current, that measures VA not kW - that depends on the power factor too.
  7. I think we need to ask @pab567 to join this discussion...
  8. What's the back story here? Did it suddenly just do this, or did you change anything (new firmware, coding or adaptation changes)?
  9. The writing was on the cards for it to be discontinued after GPS loction stopped working a couple of months ago and Skoda Support failed to reply to emails about it. I've been using Connect Lite since I first got an Octavia in July 2016, so I'll miss it's ease of use.
  10. The language of this forum is English, please post only in English.
  11. Does you're driving mostly consist of short journeys and/or at slow speeds? Modern diesels with a DPF are not suited to that driving pattern, they need regular long journeys at medium engine speeds to burn off the soot in the DPF.
  12. My 2016 has halogen number plate lamps from the factory, even though it has the highline LED rear light clusters.
  13. So long as yours is a 2016 model and not an early 2015 model that was in stock for a while.... Best to ask @pab567 giving the part number of your infotainment main unit 5Q0035864A to be sure.
  14. 2016 is most likely a MIB2 as the changeover happened in late spring 2015.
  15. The factory fit normal, non LED, bulbs on a Mk3
  16. Nothing beats an "Italian tune" for cleaning out a VAG engine without taking it apart.
  17. You have an amzing talent for taking threads "off piste" (in this case taking a discussion about electric aircraft and posting about electric buses) and then when people respond to your "off piste" post (as I did in the quoted post) making it seem like the other person was the one who took it "off piste"? In the last few days ALL my posts in this thread have been related to electric aircraft despite your attempty to confuse the discussion with electric buses and HGVs.
  18. Interesting, but I was posting about aircraft and you're posting about buses and HGVs - so we're posting about different things?
  19. The lock mechanism is between the inner and outer wings, and there are plenty of openings in the inner wing.
  20. Which is what @Winston_Woof has already said, but for long haul flights to expect electric aircraft of the passenger capacity needed by commercial airlines in the short term is unrealistic, certainly not going to happen by 2030.
  21. Never knew that Show Toll Roads existed 🤯 I often use that stretch of the a419...
  22. And an electric bus is not the right horse for an intercontinental course, So while the development and deployment of electric buses is great for UK travel it's not relevant for most aircraft journeys which involve travel over water to a holiday destination (Tenerife, Corfu, Bahamas, Australia, etc.) The testing and approval process for large passenger aircraft is rightly arduous since there are so many lives at stake.
  23. I'm pretty sure this has been asked and answered before, and that it's for the factory to check the boot is watertight.
