Jivemonkey, as you seem to have taken up the baton (whether you wanted it or not
) as resident VCDS guru, I was just wondering if in your tinkering, you had seen a way to activate the climate controls appearing briefly on Infotainment screen when changing a setting, like it was on the MK6 / Scirocco's.
After having spent nearly 3 years with the Scirocco, changing a setting on the climatronic unit was a breeze, as it was displayed big and bold in real time on the nav screen (plus it looked cool as hell). I find the smaller digital readouts and LED lights a little harder to read at a quick glance when driving, and would much prefer it if the graphic that's displayed when pushing the middle dials "Setup" button, can be shown for 5 seconds or so each time an adjustment is made. Do you think this is possible ?
I'm not too sure if what I am after is already done on the new Octavia III, as reading through the Columbus Infotainment pdf manual I downloaded, at the end, there is a picture showing the graphic I mentioned above, and the text below says:
"If Climatronic is switched on, the system displays the desired temperature for the driver's side and front passenger side on the screen» Fig. 48. Depending on the desired temperature, the airflow from the air outlet vents is shown in blue (temperature under 21.5 °C) or red (temperature above 22 °C).
When using Climatronic in automatic mode, AUTO is shown on the screen".It seems to infer (although I could be wrong), that on the Occy, the graphic shows on screen whenever an adjustment is made ?
