Sorry didn't think of that- Coventry

Petrol octavia VRS in mint condition in and out Following options: Front and rear parking sensors DSG MFSW Maxidot Full size spare in lieu of tyre repair kit Curtain airbags Heated front seats Columbus satnav Bluetooth audio Just had 2nd service from main dealer costing over £200 Taxed till sept 2014. Under 17000 miles Full service history Owned by non smoker, no pets and no children in car Grab a bargain - this car is a giant killer! With all the options this is truly a one off. Priced to sell £14,000 OVNO Location Coventry

Just checked their website and realise what the D in DTUK stands for!

Is there one for the petrol Vrs?

Sounds like it should be £349 as per website or 299+50 quoted by Fin69. Don't like being ripped off or even someone trying to rip me off! Glad I didn't pay then and there and decided to think about it. Cheeky buggers! Shouldn't this be reported to Skoda or are dealers allowed to 'set their own prices'?

Recently had my 1st servicing done at local dealer. Was done whilst I waited and I had the choice of leaving it there and taking a courtesy car. Price wasn't bad either. At the end I was offered a fixed price servicing option- £399 for next 2 services and MOT with the 2nd one. So a major service, a minor and an MOT for 399. Is it worth it? I was told at current prices that's about £70 off but labour and parts constantly increase so would be more like £130 in real terms. What do you guys think?

Me too please

If you have an android smartphone with NFC then try an NFC tag to launch this app and use it to fire only when going on a business trip. Save your battery on other occasions. You could put a sticker in your car or have a tag on your key fob. Gaurav

Mine resolved itself. Not sure what caused it or what improved things as I didn't do anything! Gremlins??

The estate if I'm not mistaken is not 4x4 whereas the combi is. So my question is is there a 4x4 Vrs?

Is there such a thing as a vrs combi?

I have just upgraded to a columbus HU on my OctyVRS. Surprised at the accuracy of the TMC information. Rush hour traffic shows up brilliantly. So investigated settings. TMC set to auto is picking up a channel called Free C&W which I presume is Coventry & Warwickshire as I'm in Coventry. The unit obviously is connected to the web so I can only presume the radio is using crowd sourced data which is brilliant. However if I press the TMC button which shows all the alerts about traffic they are the usual classic FM ones about major motorways and not the local ones my unit is actually showing and what I really need. I also have a Freelander 2 with a factory fitted Satnav with TMC. On this unit the auto selection will only choose classic FM as the source and manual brings up no other option either. So how is the Columbus picking up his good stuff and do people in other areas get very up to date TMC info as well? If not it might be worth checking your settings as I find classic FM info next to useless and hopelessly outdated. Gaurav

Problem is selling it. If new owner can't make it work I have to accept it back with all attendant hassle and costs! Fubar: do let us know how you get on with the dealer On another note: presumably most Columbuses have come from other cars- why don't they have this code problem then? Gaurav

I have a 4 digit code in my owners manual written down by hand presumably by the dealer. This is not enough to make it work in another car??

Thanks Jonno. Have just seen something called Gps to Vcf. Claims to be a utility to attach GPS co-ordinances to Vcf files automatically from the address fields. Is windows only so haven't tried it as have a mac at home. Will try and if it works will let you know

I have put together some manuals. Here's a link I hope this is allowed? Gaurav

I exported a contact in VCF format after having attached a pic to it (but no GPS co-ordiantes, just an address) from my mac onto an SD card- the option to import or navigate from SD card destination showed up as did the vcard. However selecting it did nothing and the pic I attached to it also didn't show on the screen. So I tried adding the gps co-ordinates this morning by creating another field in the contact entry. This time when I tried to import it the unit seemed to freeze for a bit and then rebooted. However, since then my position on the map is way out- I am currently in Coventry whereas my position on the map is showing as Leek Wooton near Warwick. I have tried both a hard and a soft reset but no joy. Is this co-incidence and may be a loose connection with the GPS antenna or have i done something to the unit by my aforementioned antics? Can't see an option to reposition the gps - I think my freelander unit has the option as do most Tom Toms Also cant find anything in the threads apart from one where the antenna was faulty Anybody else experience this??

My mistake- it is a scroll wheel in mine too. As per the manual pressing it should activate the voice control but it worked as a mute button when I tried it! How complex can it get?

Update- There is a mute button! The rocker switch on the left side rotates up and down to control volume but mutes volume if pressed- discovered by accident!

Did you get anywhere with this by any chance? Would love to know i this is possible?

I'm not ungracious. The idea of posting in forums is to get a broad view and cast our net wide. Someone else read my post exactly the same as you and sent me a PM and then an email with the icons. That is all I asked for if you read my post carefully in the first place. You are providing me links to pocketgosworld when I've said clearly that that is where I downloaded the database from. Equally this was posted in a forum and not sent to you as a PM or addressed specifically to you so please grow up. And please let me clarify I've got it working thanks to DC

There is a sensor top right corner of the Columbus. However, it does not control the mode I.e day or night but the brightness of the screen regardless of the mode you are in much like an iPhone screen set in auto. Easy enough to test- just cover the little jewel like button and the screen will go dark, let go and it will brighten. However it wont change the mode. Can't find a way to switch day and night mode automatically.

I don't see the auto option!
