Virtual cockpit configuration screen
Hi, so click the right hand scroll wheel, the you should see green arrows up and down in the rhs screen. You can scroll up and down to select things. On some selections there is a right arrow. Here you can press the right arrow on the rhs oc the steering wheel, then you can choose what you want to see by ticking the box. Now you can scroll up and down and see more. To see the lhs selection, press the rhs scroll wheel twice, green arrows in the lhs (rev counter). Same as on the rhs, but press the left arrow when you see one in the centre of the rev counter. Hole it helps.. I have mpg in the lhs and sat nav (that come from Google maps (only turn by turn, not actual map) in the rhs... happy clicking...

Interior lights queation
Thanks for the manual info, I have tried that... are you saying touch the lit up icon and they should work, as I tried that and nothing happened. Do I have a broken touch panel? It's under warranty, but don't want to look stupid going to a dealer for them to say you just do this. Are they touch buttons and mine are not working? Thanks again.

Tow bar retrofit for the Octavia PHEV
HI Steve Saw your post on Octy NX (4) PHEV asking for a towbar. Here is my discussions with the helpful Skoda dealer, somewhere along the M4 Yes you can put a towbar on any Octavia, but it must be plated for that. Some skodas are not, so you must either buy the factory towbar or find one that is plated. That means buying the extra pack from Skoda, dont try to put a towbar on a non-plated car, a) the fitter should not do it, and b) if you get caught by mr plod you cant continue to tow and you are stranded..... not clever at all c) you have no insurance. I sat with a SKoda dealer for near 2 hours, asking about a Skoda Octavia PHEV with a towbar for my up-plated caravan, thats 1500kg. He absolutely said no, dont do it, not even a new one, buy either a petrol or a diesel. Why, well the PHEV only charges when you are either plugged in, ie not towing, or going downhill without engine braking. So after 50 or 80 miles you have 0% in the battery. Now you are left with just a petrol 1.4 (or newer 1.5) petrol engine to tow. Thats not going to get a 1500kg caravan up a hill easily, and you are going to knacker that battery very quickly, taking it to 0%, then 100% charge every time does not do it good. Its your choice, but several Skoda dealers said the same. I was lucky and found an Octavia plated to 1600kg with towbar and winter pack.... 2022 nx, I had been looking for 6 months. hope you chose wisely, Orange Tart.
