Had one for a while, took it off. Every journey was in limp mode. Save some money and just buy the pedal box until you go for the remap.

£115 all in from Admiral, being done on Thursday at my home, with no effect on no claims.

Had one on my Diesel VRS, took it off, went into limp mode pretty much every journey. The pedal box is well worth the money though.

Went out today (Halnaker Trail if you were interested) was putting the boys back in the car when a BMW (obviously) shot past at a ridiculous speed and launched a stone, which smashed my read quarter window. In most ways I'm grateful as my sons head was about 30cm to the right of the impact, but I do still have a smashed window. Haven't had the chance to talk to insurance (Admiral) yet, but I was going to look into options, as I don't really want to risk no claims bonus etc. Although being non-fault and glass, it could be an under the radar job. Other options are: Do it privately, but I can't find any prices hinted at, anyone got a clue as to what it would cost? Do it myself, seem to be able to get the glass for about £60 on Ebay, but the tutorials I've seen look pretty daunting with heat guns and cutting. Plus the ones on Ebay look more hacked off than carefully removed. Anyone got any experience, with a similar situation?

Thanks, that would explain my issue then. Looking I'd thought I'd be able to get everything for £100ish, looks closer to £200. I'd seen the inbay tray, but the AliBaba options are half the price, which is where I was thinking I'd missed a compatible piece.

I've searched and couldn't find specific links or information, apologies if I missed it. I think it it's time to make my VRS wireless, so I'm after a QI charging tray and wireless CarPlay dongle. I can find loads of QI trays on AliBaba, AliExpress and Ebay, but can't find one that specifically says Octavia - loads for VWs, but wasn't 100% sure they are the right one. Dongle-wise, someone (Sasha?) said that it needs to be MIB compatible, but again, none of the dongles I've seen specifically say this. Could anyone share links to the relevant bits of kit. Thanks In other news, after 15 months in a box, I finally managed to fit the Rieger rear diffuser! Hopefully the QI will be a speedier process.

With the boot up like that, reminded me of the time I thought I saw an Escort Cosworth, only to get nearer and realise it was a Ghia with the boot up and bungee cables holding in IKEA boxes.
