  1. I use this with my MIB2 Amundsen to get wireless CarPlay.
  2. I think you're going to have to be the guinea pig here...
  3. It's the same kind of display (but not as nice) on the Octavia 3, it extrapolates between the side sensors as you drive slowly along searching for a suitable space.
  4. 16? On the Mk3 Octavia Park Assist only had 12 sensors, 4 front, 4 rear and 2 on each side (one by the front & one by the rear wheel arches).
  5. What's the level of fuel in the tank, some owners have reported that when around 3/4 full they hear fuel banging around in the tank.
  6. By way of getting the DPF clogged up, by producing extra oil ash.
  7. I have used Tayna for every new car battery I have needed for over 15 years, always a good price and quick delivery.
  8. Agreed, but coming back to your car to find it standing on a pile of bricks or wood is even more of a pain.
  9. I used Firefox with no problems a couple of years ago. @raspoutinewhat browser are you using?
  10. UK Skoda dealer page showing part number for set of 4 locking wheel bolts Skoda Locking Wheel Bolts
  11. What you have is an Amundsen - named after the Norwegian polar explorer. 1) CP is component protection, it has nothing to do with an extra connector. It's a system used by VAG to make stolen units harder to sell, clearing Component Protection requires either an online connection to the VAG servers or having a unit hacked. 4) A MIB2 unit can do Android Auto and CarPlay but requires the correct FEC (Feature Enabling Code) for your car (they are car specific), again either online access or hacking required.
  12. I used a 256GB SDXC card in my previous Octavia with a MIB1 Amundsen.
  13. Pull all the black plastic covers off on one wheel, you should find 4 'normal' bolts and one security bolt - unless Skoda Israel decided to delete that important item.
  14. That looks to me like the wall fixing bracket from an IKEA Billy bookcase - which you can get free from IKEA by doing a spares order for part number 106989.
  15. ... or OBDeleven or any similar VAG diagnostic tool.
  16. There are several on Amazon that claim to be flush fit.
  17. First thing is to clear the codes as they don't reset automatically and see which ones (if any) come back. Then if code still present check the battery voltage (a brand new battery won't necessarily be fully charged) as the electric power steering is very voltage sensitive.
  18. The hardwired cable includes a 12V to 5V converter for the USB cable to the dashcam, this converter will still be consuming power even when the dashcam is unplugged.
  19. You would be surprised how poor the product knowledge is of many dealers and some specialists. AFAIK all Octavia 3's have start/stop, which means that all Octavia 3's have battery monitoring and hence all need recoding when a new battery is fitted.
  20. Not sure if this applies but I'll mention it anyway. Is there an upper clutch switch? When this failed on a previous car the revs would hang higher for a second or so.
  21. I've ripped my cassettes to MP3 and put them onto my iPhone so I can play them at home (HomePod) and in the car (CarPlay).
  22. MIB2 was only fitted from production after mid 2015 (my previous March 2015 Octavia had a MIB1 Amundsen). So you have MIB1 Amundsen.
  23. Trty listening to the title music of Masterchef - my brother has a soundbar with a separate subwoofer but my soundbar doesn't - and on his you hear a deep bass sound that is totally absent on my setup. It's such a difference that I have a new soundbar setup on my wish list...
