Service interval
Mine is saying "not found" and I assumed it was was they displayed when on a variable service but it would not tie in with yours...

Octavia Mk4 aftermarket towbar
May I ask if you went for a 7-pin or 13-pin? I was planning to go for 7-pin as I'm only using a Thule bike rack but if I understood correctly, it needs a 13-pin to detect something is attached but I may be wrong here

Thanks for this. Do you know when was your car manufactured by any chance and do you have an SE or SE L First Edition?

KPH/MPH
Does any of you have a technical case number for the km/h mph issue? I asked for mine straight after raising the issue and after following up on the status, I was answered "We have now had a response from the Skoda UK technical team with advice of comparing with a similar model on site here as this has not been raised previously to them." I find the above surprising so either the previous cases were ignored by the dealerships or the answer from the Technical team is incorrect...

Should it be available on the First Ed? I did not think it should without having the Full Matrix Headlights option.

Anyone actually happy with their MK4? 😂
It's also written on the paperwork on the car. At least, that's how I discovered mine was from end of June so 8-month in stock

Regular crackling sound when listening through AppleCar Play?
It is downloaded locally. If noone as experienced that, it might be something with the book. I will have to try other ones to see if it is happening again.

Regular crackling sound when listening through AppleCar Play?
Morning, So done my first commute this morning and I noticed that there is a crackling sound/distorted noise every so often (may be every min or so) while I was listening to my audible book on AppleCar play. Has anybody experienced something similar? Thanks,

BAID Number - Is it a personal case number or a global technical fault number?
Morning, I am struggling to find information about the BAID acronym/name, does anyone have more info? For instance, is a BAID number simply the personal customer/technical service case number or is it a more global number (i.e.: recall, known issues, etc.)? Thanks

Rear lights
It must be an option in rev. B of the HW as I don't have it in Rev. A... Not that I would like to buy any

So as expected they just returned my vehicle after acknowledging that there is a glitch. As I just took delivery of mine last week, I am covered by the 30 days window and finding about the non-compliance to the UK road regulation is likely to be the key lever, which will get Skoda UK to address this long standing issue (I have been CC'ing the head of PR and Press of skoda UK in my exchanges, should there is a need to publicize it at a later stage). I have only driven 60 miles or so in it but the car is nice so I am hopeful that they will address it promptly, failing that I could ask for a refund but I would much rather get the SW corrected or the head unit replaced as the first impressions of the car are positive. Btw, having worked in the customer service centre of General Motors (Opel and Vauxhall), I have seen my fair share of issues and all manufacturers have them. But if I was to change make, I would still be unable to buy a Vauxhall! Too many bad memories.

FYI - After raising the issue yesterday(went straight to the CEO of the dealership group), the dealership sent me a video on how to set in speed/units in the Columbus this morning. I have re-explained the HW issue and non-compliance to the UK road regulation. I provided a video to confirm it as well. Anyway, my dealership is coming to collect the car today as it is a software issue, which they will fix this quickly. I will keep you posted of whether they can fix it with a SW upgrade or not...

RDE2 - Is it mandatory for all new cars registered from January 2021?
Afternoon, What is your understanding of the RDE2 compliance? Is it allowed for new registered cars after January 2021 to not be compliant and simply pay the increased 1st year road tax or do all new cars registered from January 2021 needs to be RDE2 compliant? Thanks,

Thanks a lot Matmacka. Much appreciated. It confirms that PN 5E3035816B makes the issue goes away so I can raise the issue formally with my dealership.

@Matmacka You confirmed that your navigation is showing mph correctly; however, would you be able to confirm if the speedo unit changes correctly to km/h if you select km instead of miles in the units? That would be extremely helpful if you could. thanks in advance

I have been thinking about this one and since the car is not able to display km/h equivalent in the speedo, I believe the car is not compliant to UK regulations: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/regulation/35/made Even my vRS mk2 without maxidot was indicating km/h in small on the dash. If the car is not compliant to the regulations, I believe it may force Skoda to address this sooner than later for the ones with the first HW revision. Is my understanding of the law correct?

LED Light Settings - maybe a daft one.
May I ask in which screen/setting, should you be able to find this setting?

Glove box space/compartment, what is it for?
Hello, I like the various clever compartments in the MK4 (i.e.: for hazard triangle, brush/Umbrella in door, etc.); however, there is one which is puzzling me. In the glove box, there is a "slot" that seems designed for something but it is empty. I cannot find any reference in the manual to it. does anyone know what accessories/pn could go there or what it should be used for? And talking of little accessories, should the car come with one or two umbrellas as standard? Thanks

Do you need a specific option pack to have this option? I have a se l first ed and I don’t believe this feature is available to me?

Not recognised as my primary user automatically
Yes, I did become the primary user by registering both keys. I always use the same key but still experiencing the issue of being detected only once in a while.

Not recognised as my primary user automatically
Hello, Only picked up the car yesterday so still finding out the ins/outs but the first impressions are very good. However, when I get into the car, it sometimes recognizes my primary profile automatically but very often it sees me as guest; until I go select my profile manually. Is there something I can do to fix this? I'm the sole user of the car so I would be happy for it to be permanently set on my profile... Thanks

Just took delivery of my Estate SE L first edition, which had been sat for a while in storage by the look of things! Same issue kmh/mph with 5E3035816 H/W: H56 S/W: 1668

Upright storage of winter wheels?
Thanks Guys. I use to have a wheel tree but moved to a wall mounted one to save space in the garage... looks like it was not the smartest move

How can you find out what is the "date of birth" of your car? I am getting delivery of mine in 4 days but I believe it had been in stock for a bit due to the discount, I managed to get on it. Thanks
