Yes, but I bought mine used, so factory extra was not an option (BTW - It's Pete, not Phil) -

Hi, they created a cover for the Yeti because the bumper cut is quite high-up and therefore very noticeable. For the Octavia, because the bumper cut is much lower, they thought a cover was not needed. The cost was £580 for 7 pin electrics and full coding. You can probably get it cheaper - but I've always had great advice and service from Phil Taylor so didn't mind paying bit more Pete -

Westfalia detachable swan neck Installed this morning by Phil Taylor Tow bars in Horndean. Very neat bumper cut, and can't really tell it's there unless you are very low behind the car. -

The car is booked in with Phil Taylor Tow Bars - they fitted the towbar on my Yeti a couple of years ago and fitted an access panel / cover which was allvery neat and tidy. I have not asked them about the Octavia - will check with them -

New Owner, iPhone 6 Help!
phineas replied to Christine_VRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I had the same problem with my 2016 vRS 230. My iPhone 7 paired OK, and I could pause/skip tracks, but I could not view music / podcasts / playlists on the Amundsen screen. I did a bit of fiddling and I now have it working as expected. This is what worked for me : disable A2DP / AVRCP in the Bluetooth settings, accept the warnings then enable it again, and select my iPhone as the Bluetooth source. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but my car was still paired with the previous owner's phone when I paired my iPhone. Maybe if I'd removed his phone straight away I would not have had this issue. Hard to say. Anyway - hope the above can help the OP if they still have this issue. -
Well, it took a while, but the Whippet finally has a new home ! It's a 2016 230 DSG Estate which I picked up last night It was mainly motorway and dual-carriageway on the trip home, but really pleased with it so far Thanks for all the help and advice Will very shortly be selling our Yeti (2012 1.2 TSI SE) if anyone is interested

Is it just the angle - or does that Green vRS Estate look to be riding very high ... ?
-
Thanks ! She's a Whippet - looking to move into a nice VRs Estate boot if anyone is selling ... :-)
-
Thanks - certainly worth considering. But the estate is to make life easier for this pointy-nosed idiot :-)

I had to pause the search for a few weeks, but still looking for a vRS estate, TSi (with DSG ideally) So if you are trading one in or thinking of selling, please drop me a line Thanks

Thanks Guys. So it seems it's Columbus Again, forgive my newbie ignorance - but what is MIB ? and what's the difference between MIB1 vs MIB2 ?
