What did you do to your Octavia today?

[Spinifex]

Enabled HBA
Enabled tailgate close from keyfob and internal button
Enabled live traffic
All with OBDeleven dongle

Note: for anyone else wanting to enable HBA using this method, the various VCDS instructions are a bit vague when it comes to coding the byte 02.

You need to leave any bits ticked that are already selected, but ensure bits 0 & 1 are definitely ticked.
I deselected the othe bits that were already ticked and ONLY ticked bits 0 & 1.... and this worked for enabling HBA..... but by deselecting the other bits, I disabled the park assistant and rear camera!

Spinifex,
Well done mate, Looks like Ill be come to yours with some beers once I get my car...
Interested in the same stuff

[Spinifex]

No probs HPRS..... I don't drink tho, but happy to do the coding for free. Maybe a ride or 3 in the 230 when u get it?

[HPRS230]

Spinifex,
Done, can even drive it after the run in period if you want. Be interesting to 'feel' the difference.
Let me know what else you get turned on...

[Spinifex]

Ok - did a drive up mount cootha tonight to test the HBA. Was massively disappointed to find it didn't work
The little auto-high beam symbol was indicated in the maxidot so I assumed I'd forgotten to set one of the controllers correctly.
Only worked it out when I got home and dug a little deeper into the further settings others have recommended - the trigger speeds for the HBA to work.
By default, once it's activated, it's set to actually trigger on at 57kph. Mount cootha has a speed limit of 50, and I had the cruise set on 53! No wonder it didn't bloody work!
So in with the dongle again, out with the pad and reset the trigger speed to 20kph and deactivation speed to 10kph as some others have suggested.
So I'll have another drive tomorrow night (CBF now) and see if it ACTUALLY works!

Nice one! I still need to get around to seeing what I can turn on and code my LED License Plate lights.
Update regarding IS38 Swap, STILL WAITING!!! its been a nightmare between my mechanic/tuner being sick, and trying to lock down dyno time. I'm starting to doubt this will be done this side of Xmas!! which is extremely frustrasting.
We want to dyno the car in its current form with current tune, then load stage 2 software of my new tuner and do a comparison run then do the IS38 swap and dyno again.

Evening Spinifex,
Can I ask if you could activate my reverse mirror tilt function, please? We were use to this with our golf but is not active on our Skoda.
Happy to offer a ride but 110kW diesel will be a come-down to your RS.

Also keen to hear how I can up-date the ROW maps. Information on this is patchy.

regards

Rob

Unless you have power seats the mirror dip is not worth the effort. It is inconsistent and doesn't always return. I enabled it and then turned it off.

[auditwmba]

Thanks Smart1,

I have had conflicting advice both good and bad. So happy to hear more!

+1
The mirror dipping requires the Seat Memory function to remember where to dip (and return) the mirror to.
Theoretically, anything is possible to retrofit, but it then becomes a story of effort+cost=outcome. I've been dipping my own mirrors for 5yrs, seems to work so far.
Would I enable it if I could? Hell yeah!

I can try giving it a go, but it came standard on my RS, so I didn't need to code that one.
Happy to have a go.... and I haven't played around with updating maps either - still to check if I have the latest.

Are you going to the happy laps at Willowbank on 10th December?
Otherwise can meet on a weekend?

So RS is finally at the mechanic/tuner today.
Plan is to dyno on current stage 2 Map, then Switch to their Stage 2 Map for comparison.
Then fit the IS38, intercooler and piping, Remap to the Stage 3 tune and dyno again.
I just hope my stock clutch survives till I can afford the LSD and to upgrade the clutch

In the meantime I've got their TDI Fabia RS which is actually a hoot to drive.

[Mysticality]

I've got their TDI Fabia RS

WHAT?! NZ got those?!
Argh! If only.
