Skoda MFD3 Trinax - My thoughts Warning Lots of Pictures

**VRStu** · 06-10-2007, 19:19

Some of you have already noted that I have managed to get my hands on one of these little babies so I thought it only fair to give you all the low down.

Firstly, the price - Lets just say it was 4 figures and bought in a moment of madness!!

Some specs -

6.5" 16:9 TFT Touchscreen
DVD Movie Playback with Dolby DTS sound
30GB Internal HD storage
SD/MMC Slot (4gb Max)
2D/3D Mapping
DVD & MP3 Disk supported
MP3 and WMA files

I love the unit, the sound it kicks out is better than the Bose 321GS system I have in the living room. You could try and tell me all day long that the Skoda OEM speakers are naff and I'm sorry I'd just have to laugh at you.

The touch screen is easy to use and the menus are sensible and easy to navigate.

Here are a few pics of the unit for you -

+ VAG Phatnoise MP3 system

SimonJ · 06-10-2007, 19:47

VRSPhil · 06-10-2007, 19:48

I'd love to be able to tell you but Royal Mail have my Navigation Disk.

Harry_vRS · 06-10-2007, 20:08

That looks ridiculously good

**VRStu** · 06-10-2007, 20:11

I think the worst part is the ID3 tags - I really hate that

redbaron · 06-10-2007, 20:14

nice to see VAG catching up.. can this be ordered in "new" cars now?

**VRStu** · 06-10-2007, 20:24

I think it will debut in the new Superb Paul.

Like you say it's nice to see Skoda keeping up with the Jones's. VW offer it in the Touran and Tiguan I think.

redbaron · 06-10-2007, 20:27

hmmmm tiguan looks more attractive day by day....

Hedge · 06-10-2007, 20:30

It will be very interesting to see if and when the Skoda ones start to appear on Ebay. All the ones currently available are VW units.

**VRStu** · 06-10-2007, 20:33

I'm sure they will Ian but at the moment they are all, including VW, fetching a premium due to their lack of availability

CHRIS ELLIS · 06-10-2007, 21:59

You couldn't resist show off

.I want one

mluton · 06-10-2007, 22:04

Thats a nice piece of kit.

Makefish · 06-10-2007, 22:09

It's alright I suppose
