  1. Is there any need to update if you are not having problems ? I was having problems with car play, but i have bought a new genuine lead for my phone and that has resolved the problem that i had, everything else is fine...im running Sw471 and 478 is the latest update... However i would love to switch the virtual subwoofer on, but i have no idea of anyone that could do this !
  2. Just changed all my emblems to the black lettering, all from superskoda, not cheap, but good quality.
  3. Hi, how do i switch the sub woofer and Skoda surround on ? Im not sure if my system unit has the latest software either, if not, how do i update it ? I have a 18 plate vrs, i think its a mib 2 ?? Many thanks !
  4. Hi, i have a 18 plate vrs, i think its a MiB 2.5 ?? The android auto/smartlink used to work, now it doesn't even with a new lead...also how can i get the Skoda surround and virtual sub woofer working ? And do i have the latest software versions on my unit ? Many thanks !
  5. Im going to change my Skoda lettering on my vrs... Could i use t-cut to remove the old residue as i haven't got any alcohol I don't want to get the old letters off and find that t-cut wont remove the old glue Thanks !
  6. Well I've just traded my old vrs in for a 18plate race blue vrs with a lot of extras including extremes and Kessey... Would be nice to have the start button, somewhere on the dash, maybe to left of instrument cluster, so you can see it, and it makes a bit of a statement instead of being hidden away so no-one can see haha😂😂😂
  7. I've just part/ex my 14 plate vrs for a 18 plate vrs with 19 extremes... My old vrs had the ' cabin boom ' that used to do my head in at times lol My 18 plate is so quiet, even with the bigger 19s on....its hard to believe that the noise difference, could be so different on 2 different cars... Its like night and day !
  8. Yeah, thanks for that ! Tried the split screen and it works, but only shows the next 3 manoeurves, and not the full list unfortunately... I suppose its not a bad system, its just I've been split by a tom tom for the last few years lol
  9. Hi, I part/ex my old vrs for a 18plate race blue vrs, picked it up from Skoda Doncaster, so i thought i would use the sat nav to take me home, I've never used a Skoda sat nav before, as my old vrs didn't have one... Anyway put destination in then pressed navigate, but for the life of me, i couldn't find any route details so i knew what roads i would be going on ! Is there a option so you take alternative routes and avoid roads like on a tom tom ?
  10. Not the best background.... New all black badges, lettering and rear diffuser...all stands out on the red... Ironic really, as i am 95% certain the car is being part-ex for a race blue vrs with 19s extreme and lots of extras... Taking it for a test drive next week and will try my best to keep my bank card in my pocket...but i know its going to be very very difficult to resist lol
  11. Hi A mate of mine has a golf gtd, on a 14 plate done about 50k, his silicon bag in his expansion tank has leaked into his coolant and damaged his heater matrix, resulting in big pound notes to fix... The part is £400 and they have got to take his dashboard out to fit it, if he has told me correctly...i would say its going to be at least £500 ! My question is, should i take the silicon bag out of my vrs tdi as i don't want the same problem lol How easy is it to take out without damaging it ? Thanks guys !
  12. When i did mine, i just searched online for the radio station logos i wanted, downloaded the image logos, then put them on a SD card then installed them onto my bolero... Not difficult to do !
  13. Thanks ! Will have a look ! Ceramic polish is also on my list, but i don't know how much of a hole that will burn into my wallet !
  14. My vrs boring list is.... Spare wheel And to try and get some more umpth, into my bolero without changing the speakers or the unit....so if anybody has any ideas how i can do this.... Then I'm all ears lol
  15. Well i hope diesel doesn't die soon when im getting these mpgs....
  16. Well this is what i have chosen to do ! Taken out 2 year continuous cover, which cost £145, which is a saving of just over a £100 or 10 months free if i had taken it directly with the AA ! I nearly went with autoaid, but past experience, i thought i would give it a miss....autoaid still good value but i don't think the local garages In the Hinckley and Coventry area are that good...
  17. Have been with autoaid before and am 50-50 on whether to join up on past experience. I really like the sound of the AA parts and garage cover for about 60 quid, where they will cover up to £535 of repairs if you break down, but i think you have to have AA breakdown cover to have their parts and garage cover as well...
  18. I looked at this, seems a very good deal, but i think if you break down they tow you to a Skoda garage... And that's the last place i would want my car to go to without a warranty lol
  19. Was thinking of renewing with autoaid again as i was with them a couple of years ago when i had my old pd vrs...however i was not too impressed when i had to call them out twice.... The guys that came out, I'm my opinion, were not that knowledgeable, 1st callout, didn't diagnose cambelt fault, 2nd time, my starter motor packed up and the guy that came out wasn't too happy, as he was at the end of a 10 hour shift, he had a row with his boss about coming out to my breakdown etc, etc.... So i think i am going to bite the bullet and pay 190 for AA breakdown and parts cover, i know its a lot of money, but i believe you get what you pay for, been with the AA before and i think that they are pretty good !
  20. Was leaning towards this one, but I've just spent £200 on 2 front tyres ! Have you had to use the breakdown repair warranty ?
  21. Well I've had my octy vrs a year now, so my Skoda assist and warranty has now expired... So was wondering which are the most reliable/value for money breakdown cover that you can buy. Was thinking of the AA, because they were pretty good when i had to call them out via Skoda when my water pump went on my vrs after only having the car a week..AA Good, but expensive ! Groupon got a deal with emergency assist for about 35, home start, etc, etc, worth a punt ?
  22. Yeah I have a mk3 vrs TDI 14 plate... Just not got round to changing my old car sig as I've only had this vrs 8 months lol
  23. Hi Had a major service carried out on my vrs last week and was told that my puncture repair kit is due to expire in the couple of weeks and it will cost £55 to replace.... So thinking of buying a proper spare wheel kit instead off eBay for £110, I know it's more expensive, but I don't mind paying the extra for a ' proper ' spare wheel ! So would this one fit in my boot ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152717135931 Regards !
  24. So would replacing the speakers make any difference.... Or is it the output of the unit that is no good ? I have a mib1 i think in my vrs
  25. How much did you pay as i am interested in one for my vrs if the price is right !
