Possible New Owner - Few Questions

Featured Replies

If you mean `Lifeguard` then yes I did.

Was it worth it?...well that would depend on how much you pay for it.

For me, I am reassured that for the next 3 months or so that my new paintwork is protected. After that I will begin a regime of protection of my own.

  • In my opinion, a spare wheel is a sensible option to purchase. I dunno, but not sure I'd trust that gunk you put into the tyre!

  • Does anybody know if there is a facelift model due anytime soon ? I asked at Hobin Skoda Manchester and they said that it would definately NOT be next year. Can anybody confirm/deny this? Dave

Thats great news..........am I correct in thinking that the car "reads" text messages to you whilst in motion ?

Also if I stream an internet radion station on the phone via "tuned in" app then can I listen to it on the stereo - my phone displays a picture of the artist and track info - would the columbus display this?

Hi Dave,

I listen to Spotify and Tunein Radio over bluetooth, you could also plug into the AUX port. Text no longer show up as Ice Cream Sandwich (Android OS) doesn't appear to use RSAP by default. I think this is a benefit as I can not get data whilst the phone is connected, previously it locked out all data functions as the car as acting as the antena or something along those lines.

I had the SG2, Note and not the SG3 so I can vouch for these, they do occasionally fail to connect though (roughly 1 - 50) times.

Perfectly happy with this, also have my work BB Bold 9300 hooked up, I flip between the two as required i.e. work and personal.

I have the SGS 2 - STILL ON 2.3.3 - Not done the ICS update because of this issue with RSAP.

Does the columbus display show the same as the phone screen when listening to tunein app?

I have also just bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - so not too sure what I can do with that......probably the same as the phone?

The rsap issue with Android 4.0.3 will be solved in version 4.0.4, which is currently being rolled out for the S2, see www.sammobile.com and www.android-rsap.com.

Thank you for the info.

Does anybody know anymore about this factory shut down?

Does it really shut down completely for 2 weeks?

Seems a bit strange in this day and age............

Hello, going back to colours, mine is steel grey with black interior. I also selected the no cost optional luna alloys but these are no longer available i think. Steel grey is quite blue in some lights but it grows on you and is definitely a younger mans choice. Over 40 now so expect my next one to be Rosso with cream interior, walnut dash inserts and DSG! lol

Anyway, the near side mirror dips when reversing if you put the control switch to 'L'

Had a storm blue Octavia Estate - looked great when cleaned and waxed, the flake pop was pretty high.

Should look ace in a Superb - even better as it's an Estate.

Whats flake pop ?

Also just looking at my order form and I have no order no anywhere on it at all......should there be one ?

Just in case I need to contact Skoda UK for info etc?

My delivery time is October.

Hi!

Apparently I am one of the very few that got the Felicity ivory interior (no leather!) to my Amethyst Purple Estate. And I think it's holding up quite well so far, after 1,5 years.
