Škoda Octavia Options by VIN: The PR Codes That Matter

The Octavia is one of the most common cars on European roads, and two of them can be equipped very differently. The PR codes settle what each one has.

Real PR codes from Octavia records

• 8G5 — multiple Matrix LED headlights
• 8VQ — LED tail lights with animated light functions
• 7UG — High navigation system
• 4K6 — Keyless Advanced locking and starting
• PK1 — swivelling tow bar, electrically released
• KA2 — rear view camera
• 4A4 — heated front and rear seats
• 4KF — heat-insulating glass, darkened from the B-pillar back

What to check on a used Octavia

Matrix headlights, a tow bar and heated rear seats all change what an Octavia is worth, and none of them can be confirmed from a photo. In our Octavia records the multiple Matrix beam appears on 12 of 35 cars and the swivelling tow bar on 6, so neither is something to assume.
