Bluetooth link to new Samsung S9 phone
bertvrs replied to Algst's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Just a thought, have you checked the Bluetooth settings on your S9 to make sure that it is "discoverable"? Your car might not be able to see your S9 if it isn't broadcasting its availability. -
Direct download links for ECE 2018 maps
bertvrs replied to aki78's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Tried the link today and confirm it works, downloaded the ZIP file, unpacked it and copied the maps folder onto my SD card. So far everything seems to be working with the SD card back in the car. Top work Aki -

Inner edge tyre wear warning

Thanks mdon, wasn't sure if they all had the kit or not. -
I've been a WP7 user for about 18months now, HTC Mozart 7, and have to admit that I love it. Not having had an Android phone and not wanting an iPhone I can't make any direct comparisons but the OS itself is very slick and the Live tiles let you have a lot of information on the screen. Most Apps allow you to Pin a live tile to the main screen which is pretty handy.

Inner edge tyre wear warning
bertvrs replied to danrooke's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I have a feeling that I have quite a bit of noise/road noise from the rear at various speeds so am thinking that I might need my setup checking. Mind you it could just be my hearing but I'd rather have it checked than worry about it. Can anyone recommend anywhere in Reading for 4 wheel laser adjustment / geometry checking? Thanks -
Radio volume increasing with speed

I always found this a great feature on my old Passat and missed it when I had the Saab, it had a similar setting but never seemed to do anything no matter what I set it on. Very happy to have it again on the Octavia. -
Thanks Berniebloke and slver1011, having done a bit more research it looks like I'm going to hold off at the moment. Thanks also to Wardy for clearing a few bits up for me.

I've been pondering on upgrading the Stream head unit in my 07 VRS to a Bolero but have a couple of questions which I haven't managed to find the answers to yet: I don't have a Maxidot, does this make any difference? Would I need any VCDS related work if I were to swap the Stream for a Bolero? In my searching around I've come across the RCD 510 which lokos like the Bolero, am I right in thinking this is the VW version of the Bolero? Would a RCD 510 work in my VRS If i were to upgrade to either the Bolero or the RCD 510 is there any easy way to tell if I would need anything else Thanks in advance for any help you guys and girls can give.

Thanks for the welcomes guys, off to see what I can find out about retrofitting cruise now.
