Good Evening all, First post to say Hi.

 

After waving good bye to my 2003 Volvo V70 D5 SE I collected my 2013 Octavia 2.0tdi Elegance Hatch at the weekend from Murrays Skoda in Plymouth.

 

I have been looking for a while to find something with a decent spec worthy to replace the Volvo,  I've yet to have time to sit down and go through all the settings but am so far delighted with the Octavia and have been busy gaining knowledge from this excellent forum.

 

I had them fit a detachable towbar (for trailer and bike carrier) and remove the limo tinting (my boy racer days are long gone), only gripes would be no DAB radio on the Columbus infotainment (I thought they all had DAB as standard, (should have researched that one better) and the reception on Both FM and AM radio seems very poor in areas where the Volvo had very strong signal?

 

anyway look forward to joining in the conversations and being part of the Briskoda family....... :-)

Hello and welcome to the forum.  Looks like a very good replacement for the Volvo.  Love the colour too!

Great colour, really like that

Just to update my own post, the car did indeed have DAB but an issue with the base firmware meant it wasn't appearing on the radio screen! Updating the firmware to release 0390 has sorted the issue (and improved the FM and AM reception as well). Sorted
