Hidden features and retrofits for the Škoda Octavia (5E) 2013–2020
42 features for the Škoda Octavia (5E) 2013–2020: what it does, duration and price from. Workshop in Waddinxveen, remote across the Netherlands.
Final compatibility is confirmed at diagnosis.
Display 4
Needle sweep at start-up
At start-up the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep fully out and back once, just like on sports cars.
Only visible with analogue gauges.
Refuelled amount on the display
After refuelling, the instrument cluster shows how many litres were added, so you can easily check your fuel receipt.
Video in motion
Videos and images from a USB stick or SD card stay visible on the screen while the car is moving, so the passenger can watch.
For the passenger only. The driver must not watch video while driving.
Condition: Columbus/Amundsen; depends on software version
Lighting 8
Ambient lighting setup
More colours and your own brightness for the mood lighting in the doors and dashboard, selectable on the infotainment screen.
Only if ambient lighting is fitted from the factory.
Condition: Facelift with factory ambient lighting
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning or steering at low speed, the fog light on that side switches on, so you see where you are going in the dark.
Only with front fog lamps.
Condition: Front fog lamps fitted
Daytime running lights – Auto position only
The daytime running lights then only come on with the light switch in Auto. We discuss in the workshop what suits your car.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – adjust in menu
The daytime running lights appear as a setting in the vehicle menu, so their behaviour can be chosen deliberately. The final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – with rear lights
With daytime running lights on, the rear lights also come on so the car is easier to see from behind at dusk and in rain.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: LED or bulb rear lights; result differs per light type
High-beam assistant release
High beam switches on and off automatically depending on oncoming and preceding traffic. The activation speed can also be adjusted.
Only works with the camera behind the windscreen; we check this first.
Condition: Front camera (lane/sign camera) fitted
Parking lights on both sides
Lets you leave the parking lights on at both sides of the parked car instead of only one side.
Poor-weather / all-weather lights
Releasing the fog-like dip or all-weather mode on matrix or LED headlamps that already have that mode in software. Without the right lamps we will not code an extra beam.
Comfort 6
Comfort-indicator flash count
A short tap on the indicator stalk gives the number of flashes you prefer, for example five instead of three when changing lanes.
Windows and sunroof via the key
Holding the button on the key opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof) at once. Nice for airing the car on hot days.
Mirrors folding on lock
The door mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the car with the key and fold out again when you unlock. Handy in narrow streets and car parks.
Only possible if the mirrors fold electrically.
Condition: Electrically folding mirrors fitted
Close windows when it rains
If a window or the sunroof is left open while the car is parked and locked, the car closes it automatically as soon as the rain sensor detects rain.
Only works with a rain sensor; we check this first.
Condition: Rain sensor fitted; source reports early model years
Remember seat heating
The car remembers the last seat-heating level and switches it back on after starting, within the time window the manufacturer allows.
Condition: Seat heating fitted
Extra wipe after washing
A few seconds after washing, the wipers make one more sweep so no drips are left running down the windscreen.
Convenience 7
Automatic summer and winter time
The car clock switches to summer and winter time by itself. No more adjusting the time by hand.
Register a new battery
After replacing the 12 V battery we register the new battery with the correct type and capacity, so charging and start-stop work properly.
Mirror dip on reverse
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb. It returns once you drive off.
Depends on mirror and door module version.
Condition: Electric mirrors with memory function
Service interval setting
After servicing we reset the service reminder correctly and set the right interval (fixed or flexible).
SFD release for protected modules
Newer VAG models only allow coding after an online release per module. We arrange that session, for which the car must be online; if the release does not come through the function cannot be coded and we charge nothing for the attempt.
Start-stop – remember last setting
The car remembers whether you had switched the start-stop system off, so you do not need to press the button on every trip. The final setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Windows after ignition off
After switching off the engine you can still operate the windows for a while, as long as no door has been opened.
Access 2
Alarm with horn
Makes the horn sound when the alarm goes off, in addition to or instead of the siren.
Only with a factory alarm.
Condition: Factory alarm system
Lock with the engine running
You can lock the car with the key while the ignition is on, for example to keep the cabin cool for a dog.
Always carry a second key; never leave children or animals unattended.
Sound 2
Acoustic lock confirmation
A short tone when locking and/or unlocking confirms that the car really is locked.
Requires alarm siren or suitable horn.
Door-open chime with ignition on
No more continuous beeping when a door is open with the ignition on, for example while loading or waiting. The message on the display remains.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Climate 2
See fan speed in Auto
Even in the Climatronic Auto mode you can see how hard the fan is blowing, so you always know what the system is doing.
Condition: Climatronic
Remember recirculation and AirCare
The recirculation or AirCare setting is kept after switching off, so you do not have to select it again on every trip.
Assistance 3
Lane assist – adjust and remember
When Lane Assist intervenes, the steering vibration and whether it remembers its last on/off state are tuned to your driving style. The final setting is chosen together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Lane Assist fitted
Speed warning – adjust
Sets or adjusts the warning at a chosen speed, for example 120 km/h. We agree the right setting together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Traffic-sign recognition coding

We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Front camera fitted
Safety 1
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder can be set differently, for example for work where you often get in and out briefly. We discuss which setting suits you in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Performance 3
DCC damping in Individual
Giving the adaptive dampers their own setting in Individual instead of tying them to Comfort or Sport. Only works with factory DCC; you cannot code this onto passive dampers.
Driving profile selection on the screen
Driving profiles such as Eco, Normal, Sport and Individual become visible and adjustable via the infotainment screen.
Availability depends on engine, gearbox and equipment.
Condition: Facelift
Laptimer and performance measurement
A stopwatch for lap times in the instrument cluster, operated with the steering-wheel buttons. Fun for track days.
Intended for track use.

Rear-view camera retrofit
A genuine rear-view camera with guidelines on the infotainment screen, coded as if fitted at the factory.
Price and feasibility after checking your equipment.
Close the tailgate from the key
Besides opening, the electric tailgate can also be closed with the key. Handy with your hands full.
Electric tailgate only.
Condition: Combi with electric tailgate
Climatronic panel upgrade
Install and code a newer climate control panel, for example with touch controls or extra functions.
Feasibility after checking your equipment.
Trailer module teach-in VAG
After a towbar is fitted we register the module so lighting, parking sensors and stability control take the trailer into account.
For a retrofit towbar it depends on the wiring kit.
Condition: Towbar fitted (factory or retrofit)
