Hi all!

 

I have just bought a (used) Octavia II 62reg CR SE 1.6 TDI. This trim level has the maxidot display (verified by opening door as suggested in forums), bolero radio and bluetooth connectivity.

 

My problem is that the maxidot screen only shows phone connectivity status/options and car image when a door is open. The controls for the maxidot in this octavia are the buttons on the windscreen wiper stalk.

 

When I hit reserve fuel, my mileage range pops up on the maxidot for a few seconds, likewise when the outside temparature drops below 4oC I get an ice warning.

 

I would like to know if I can scroll between the range/MPG/other options as the main display on the maxidot (as other octavias (and golfs) I have been in, do).

 

I have attached some images of the options I get on my display below.

 

As this is my first skoda, I am new to this forum - I have searched and scrolled through to see if my problem has already been mentioned, but I have been unable to find anyone with exactly the same problem as me (Although a few similar problems). If I have missed this please let me know!

 

Thank you!

Have you tried hitting back when your on the 'main display'?

 

That should take you to a list including MFD, settings, phone, audio. If you select MFD then that will show you the MPG info etc.

Try holding down one of the buttons on the end of the stork for a second or two.

Anddenton's advice looks spot on - I hadn't noticed that a MFSW wasn't fitted so there is no back button 

 

It's all covered in the user manual, if your car is missing one then you can download a copy here: https://mediaportal.skoda-auto.com/resource/documentation/manuals/en/octavia/05-2012/manual/a5_octavia_ownersmanual.pdf

 

Page 18 onwards should help.

Thanks for your replies - Just got in and checked this and I now get all the MFD options and more!

 

Also thanks for the heads up on the online owners manuals! 

Hi Matt,

 

I am facing the same problem as the  only controls for the maxidot in this octavia are the buttons on the windscreen wiper stalk.Can you guide me how did you fix it ?
