OCTAVIA III Owners discussion thread

[afterdarker]

Anyone with a octivia mk3 with Navigation wants traffic alerts coded in to there infotainment unit via a VCDS code change give me a call or PM. Ive tried to on 2 customers cars and both very happy. System started working less than 1hr after code change giving upto date traffic alerts / roadworks.

Interested. Does the upgrade cover speed cameras / radar traps as well ?

I believe it will just be the Traffic updates using VCDS.

I can confirm that the current version of the POIs with speed/safety cameras are not compatible with the Columbus system. I've been told that work is continuing on this. The current version works on the VW Discovery Pros.

Yep. I enabled traffic alerts through VDCS too, it's a simple process that should have been enabled at the factory!

Traffic not supported by Skoda Australia .... Suppose they didn't want to pay for Suna TMC licences ... Luckily this can hurdle can be overcome with access to VCDS and a cable

I would like to have this feature as well. The cost of the VCDS cable is a hindrance!

Check the VCDS register. Offer a six pack to anyone near you and they should be able to sort you out.

Anyone in Melbourne want to help a brother out with traffic updates. I buy beer, etc.

^^ me too.

Also - what pressures is everyone running your tyres at? Specifically VRS 18's.

I run 36 PSI cold pressure.
