iPhone and the inability to use car speaker when taking calls 🥴🥴🤔
I use Bluetooth and not Carplay and don't have a problem. I also use the iphone for navigation and the spoken instructions come through the car's speakers.

Skoda Octavia 2020 infotainment ghost-touching, random reboots et
The last time I had this issue with a touch screen it was caused by fine grit / dirt getting trapped in the surround of the screen support. Try clearing it out with your finger nail.

vRS 4.5 annoyances (and birds!)
I blindfold the lane assist camera with some self adhesive vinyl (middle of the windscreen near the rear view mirror). This has the side effect of the front assist complaining that it is compromised, which reminds me to disable that if I haven't already. I plan to try and blindfold the front assist radar with an aluminium sheet retained by some spongy double sided tape (after painting it with black metallic paint) - hopefully that will sufficient.

What is this B post label for?
OK, I haven't posted the label - it includes the VIN. It's the UK drivers side, bottom of the B post, and impossible to photograph without removing the door. There is one line above the VIN and four below with weights. Anyone know what its all about?

Your vehicle has been removed from your account
Yes, but that was weeks ago, 14 March, and I got back in just by logging back into the infotainment in the car (and using the web to reset my SIP as I had no record of what it was).

Non Skoda servicing
I have a Sept '22 car. Now that is out of warranty, what are the implications of finding a more reasonably priced garage to service the car?

Your vehicle has been removed from your account
Today I received an email with the above title. Then when I went to the car it had removed me as primary user. I had to download the application and then, with BOTH keys in my hand, reset myself as primary user. I'm not sure if the car had updated software, or the application had updated software, but this resetting of everything and forcing us to keep going to Skoda's servers is getting to be a pain in the butt.

Dumb Questions from a Newby!
When the auto hill handbrake comes on (green P), the rear brake lights are also kept on. When you pull the lever up for parking (red P), the rear brake lights go out. I think it is plain courtesy to the car in the queue behind you to pull the lever up and switch the brake lights off (unless its a pr**k who has been pushing you all the time). In both cases the brake will automatically disengage when you pull away. If you are stopping entirely, the parking light goes from green to red when you turn the ignition off without having to lift the P lever.

Passenger Door not always unlocking
I would suggest it was frozen shut with ice - nothing to do with the locking mechanism.

Dab radio station logos
I assume not all the stations transmit a logo.

After Market Towbar for VRS Estate
Many years ago I had a towbar retro fitted by a dealer, but the work was done by a specialist fitter who only did one car a week. So try phoning around other dealers and you might find one who has a competent fitter to do the job.

ORU3 - OCU - SW0311 – Octavia (O3A8)
I have just entered my VIN and I get the same response. Also for awhile now (possibly since before the 16th) I keep getting the 'update' prompt on the infotainment - and I keep telling it to update, and a few days later it comes back and prompts me again. Does this require a dealer visit?

Radio Question
I just mute mine. Regarding the strip under the screen - it took me a long while to work out that you need to slide your finger along it (or maybe it matters where along its length you touch it).

MK3.5 vRS vs. MK4.5 cabin noise
I always assumed that was a design feature of the sporty models?

Which is what I did.

Paint code.
There is no code on my car or in the handbook. I paid €3 to an ebay swiss vendor to get a 6 page pdf of all the codes associated with my VIN. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226517872578
