Have just taken delivery of a new Octavia vRS CR 170 DSG - superb car.

My only problem is with the Columbus sat-nav. I have saved various mp3 files on the hard-drive but when I press the "Mix" (shuffle) button, there is no random play and everything continues as before.

Has any one else had this problem please?

Have you looked in the settings, I seem to remember there is something in Media IIRC about shuffle.

I had the same problem and the only way I managed to get the "Mix" to work (once you have selected it to mix subfolders in the "Setup" "Media" menu as Stu mentions) is to put one track in the top level of the HDD where you normally only see folders then play this track and whilst it is playing select "Mix".

It is not very user friendly but maybe at some time in the future Skoda will come up with updated firmware.

Apologies for slow reply (been out of action) but do you mean that you can shuffle all tracks randomly, like an ipod, not just play tracks randomly within an album?

I can do the last bit but not the first. I exchanged e-mails with Skoda UK about this. They said that it was possible to do a completely random shuffle, so I took the car in to my dealer, whos say that it is not possible!

Who is right?
