OCTAVIA III Owners discussion thread

The images one the website show the standard 19 in black pack wheels same as I've got on my car, are they not the wheels that will be supplied? (Which while called black are really a dark grey)

The wheels I believe will be black, not anthracite!

The uk version of the 230 has the same 19 inch wheels from the black pack but they are a gloss black and not the dark grey. You would Assume Australia will be the same but until they land here who knows.

Superskoda have them for sale, they are different. Along with black exhaust tips and badges.

Also, no mention if active suspension.

[HPRS230]

Yea,

No active suspension on current shape, I am told will be on new Facelift shape.

I should have mine by Xmas

[Jondalar]

Ahh yeah, I see the difference, not many would notice though.

I really want the black RS230 spoiler for my car though

Thanks to stu53, Mysticality and others, for clarifying my error in keyless locking/unlocking of the car!

NOW I know how to do it properly !!! I've clearly been doing it incorrectly but it's clear in my head now and I've got it working as expected.

Jondalar,
I've already schooled the other half on how to tell the RS162 and RS230 apart lol

Well, my OBDEleven device turned up today, but it looks like it may be faulty In a few minutes of trying I've not managed to get the app to connect to the dongle. The dongle itself has a red light lit, and a slowly flashing amber light. I've tried with the ignition on and with the engine running.

After restarting Bluetooh, the car, the app and eventually the phone it seems to be working now! I enabled traffic alerts via Unit 5F -> Adaptations. I did a full reset of the media unit (holding down power until it goes off and on again), then pressed the Traffic button. Within maybe 10 seconds the reports started flowing in. I looked at the settings for Radio and it all looks the same (i.e. no obvious way to turn it off).
