SETUP

All paths start in your BeamNG user folder (C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current).
Press Ctrl+R after any change.

Adding your own music

- Put your music files in: art\sound\octavia4\music
  (create the folders if they are not there yet)
- Supported formats: .mp3, .wav and .ogg

Your phone: name & contacts

- Each car has its own phone file, kept for its license plate:
  settings\fastlane\octavia4\<license plate>\octavia4_phone.json
- The file is made the first time a car with that plate is spawned, so spawn it once before editing
- Open it with any text editor (Notepad works). It will look like this:

  {
    "device": "Galaxy S26",
    "contacts": [
      { "name": "Jana Novakova", "number": "+420 733 118 042", "voice": "female" },
      { "name": "Servis Brno", "number": "+420 541 220 118", "voice": "male" }
    ]
  }

- "device" is your phone's name, shown on the phone page, the call screen and the home screen
- "voice" is who answers when you call them: "female" or "male" (male if left out)

License plates

- Your settings, users, trip data and phone are all saved per license plate, so two Octavias with different plates each keep their own
