OEM electric windows + mirrors retrofit on a 2001 Fabia Mk1 Classic – wiring / Comfort module questions
Pins 3 and 4 of black 6-pin connector at A-pillars is where I'm seeing A146, A147 in circuit diagrams. Other thing you may have to add is power wiring for windows, pins 1 and 2 of the black 4-way connectors at A-pillars, from fuses and earth points. Can't you just chop it in for a Fabia that already has all this? They're not exactly scarce.

OEM electric windows + mirrors retrofit on a 2001 Fabia Mk1 Classic – wiring / Comfort module questions
I know there won't be any CAN wiring in your door loom, but it may get as far as the car half of the A-pillar connections, if you're lucky. That's what I'm suggesting you look for. If it's there, there will be pins in the appropriate spots of the connector, if not there won't be. All the CAN wiring in the cabin loom will be 'bound into' the loom in the car body, I expect, but there will be splice points, (the A146, A147) where all the 'Convenience CAN' pairs split off to their respective control units (such as A/C). This is likely to be near to the onboard supply control unit (J519) which also houses the CAN gateway, headquarters of the CAN system. That unit is above accelerator pedal on RHD cars. You will have to run twisted pairs of wires from these points to each car-side A-pillar connector, and fit the appropriate pins, if they aren't already present. Will be a pain, but those whole connector multi-blocks will come out of the A-pillars outward for access. Door removal is dead easy and the job will be near-impossible without this, I think.

Automatic electronic handbrake
There's a switch on ours down by the gear lever, which switches it off. Have you inadvertently pressed it?

Octavia IV Combi 2.0 TDI — 129 Hz droning above 125 km/h, temperature-dependent
mine is Octavia SE Tech Combi 2.0 TDI 150 DSG UK car (built June 2025). With no options except the factory fitted swing out towbar. It doesn't have any noise issues at all. In your own time it might be worth getting underneath, I find you only need a few inches.... for example you could remove the undertray and go for a drive

OEM electric windows + mirrors retrofit on a 2001 Fabia Mk1 Classic – wiring / Comfort module questions
Oh, really ? That's nice to hear, for once we don't have to overcomplicate things. I was actually looking trough the wiring diagram just now, since my Fabia is a Classic trim level It only has central locking, and therefore there are no components in the door that require the CAN connections (on higher trim level fabias its the orange/green and orange/brown cables in the blue connector at the A pillar if I'm not mistaken), so It obviously isn't there. Now, what I've seen on the wiring diagram is that for example the AC Control Unit (301) is tapped into the CAN lines (A146,A147), and since my car does have AC It therefore must also have the CAN Connections wired into It to a certain extent. The question is whether I'll be able to disconnect the part of the CAN lines going to the doors and plug It into my my car, making it a plug and play, or do I need to cut and reattach ? Also since we got the Remote Locking question out of the picture, does anyone know whether a Skoda Dealer could make a remote key for my lock barrel and with my transponder chip copied on It ? And the last thing I had on my mind is, will a CCM with a suffix E work with my Classic trim level if I switch It out ? Thanks you in advance for the replies! Cheers!

Final connections made on the aftermarket blind spot detection kit this evening. All working well as intended. Next step is to experiment with OEM LEDs to see if I can make them work.

It is a shame that I cannot reply to that RossTech thread. I would love to know how he managed the SWaP & Dataset changes.

Yeti - When to sell ... Or keep?
For what its worth, mine is 13 years old with nearly 100,000 miles on it and I can't see me getting rid of it any time soon. I've had my share of cars over the years starting with elderly Ford Anglias and going through Renault 16s (five of those) and even a couple of Volvos (best not remembered) but there is something about the blend of quirkiness, practicality and reliability of the Yeti I think would be hard to replace. And certainly the cloned slabs that seem to be the affordable choices in electric cars, I'll pass thanks.

Yes the only issue that bogged down a couple of Seat poster was that Edge hung after the download you altered the extension to 7z after with Edge then proceed. Windows 10 and 11 have the built in unzip so it will bounce out into the unzip directory if using the Edge rename. Firefox and Chrome you just use 7zip and right click on that drag and drop to a directory you have made. Or open with the built in unzip of Windows 10 and 11. Think its open with file manager from memory. The right click on the downloaded file.

Yeti - When to sell ... Or keep?
We love Yetis - we've had 7 or 8 between us since 2011. But, we were talking about whether it's getting to the right time after the winter to sell while the car is still popular. I'm torn - it's diesel, 4x4 and DSG and the last of the line. I took a 5 hour train trip to buy it. I guess as there is nothing obvious we would want to replace it with -maybe a medium size EV - we will keep it !? Any thoughts ?

NO interior ceiling lights, fault code 00059:011
Seems to be another expensive month thabks to the Superb! Last week it dumped it's coolant thabks to a snapped brittle pipe leading to the heater matrix, Yesterday 4 tyres and no the interior lights don't work. A quick scan with my mates TopDon brought up the following code 00059:011 Terminal 30 for interior illumination open circuit. Checked the fuses in the end of the dash but this is where my expertise ends. Don't think it's the switch as the rear ceilings don't work either, puddle lights do though. Any help would be appreciated as other posts seem to point to a burnt out switch and lights that are intermittent?

3rd brake light replacement ?
Hi everyone,I noticed that one LED in the third (high level) brake light on my Skoda Octavia IV Combi VRS IV (2022 model) is very dim. Because of this, I am planning to replace the entire unit in the near future. From what I understand, on the MK4 model, the brake light is clipped in from the outside of the spoiler Also there is some visible moisture in the unit is this an known problem ? Before I start prying and potentially damaging the paint or breaking the spoiler anyone happens to have the official workshop manual page or a short video clip for this specific model ? that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

Exhaust gas getting into the coolant
Hard to tell but I had a negative sniff test at first then I got a positive once I’d replaced the egr cooler and the charge cooler, ended up being the head gasket. Diag can be really tricky as there can be a few issues that combine to hide the true state of the engine. I thought I had it but then I ended up with another issue that was linked but made worse so needs some careful diag. I have a who thread on the diag and fix of mine if this helps at all?

OEM electric windows + mirrors retrofit on a 2001 Fabia Mk1 Classic – wiring / Comfort module questions
Thank you for all the replies! I've seen a post here saying that the "brains" of the remote locking is in the Convenience Control Unit (CCM), and I also get the same result when searching on google. I corresponded all the wires from pictures of the CCM (6q0959 433 E -E is the highest trim level) and the wiring diagram of the Central Locking, and Anti-Theft System. All the wires are "occupied/taken" so all the wires from the picture I identified as part of mentioned systems. Now the questing is, where are the cables for the Remote Locking ? There is supposed to be an Antenna at least, and probably more. I also heard that It might be in the driver door, but at this point I really don't know. If anyone has the diagram for the Remote Locking It would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Which Octavia Scout would you choose?
Well, for those who wondered what the other 2 150bhp cars are. One is and the other is Photo's just for reference, neither are mine, I just can't find any photos.

Those are MHI2 maps. They’re the same for every MHI2 system, no matter the brand. The file name of the archive or the ending .zip or .7z has nothing to do with the contents or the actual structure of the maps. They will work on your car regardless. They work on VW, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Bentley, Porsche and whichever other brand uses MHI2 systems.
