Looks fantastic! Quartz Grey?
Yes Quart Grey, looks great, had a quick drive to try stuff out
Have just set up Skoda Connect, had to put my own Sim Card into my unit despite believing that I have paid for the service, or else why have a Sim Card, i'd just use my mobile, so in discussion with the dealer on that one.
Found out from the delivery driver that when the garage, that shall stay nameless, first received some of the cars, the mechanics doing the setup, didn't realise what the door protectors were and removed them, oops red faces, mine are ok though.
Same problem with Bluetooth that I had on my Octavia that it doesn't sync all phone numbers, look for an app in the Google Playstore called "Bluetooth Phonebook" by android-rsap which remedies the problem.
Later to try some of the other apps

So a couple of days in and very happy
Tested the following
Skoda connect - very good features, used it to download speed camera locations to the car
Kessy - all good
Stop start - seems to sensitive
Auto brake - not sure/scared how you test this
External sim - playing with this still
Columbus - much improved, now also shows traffic problems on A roads which my octavia didn't
Generally all is good so far, but lots of gadgets to still test
Took the car in to see RCRCRC as he lives close by as well, and he sells lardy cake yum yum

To test emergency stop, either edge slowly towards a stationary object like a wall and it will put the brake on.
If your more cautious, do it against a box 🙂
I tested it on my Audi a couple of times and it stopped me from a couple of silly mistakes in slow traffic when not paying attention
