Have been looking at something like this to replace the awful quality of the Bolero on my 2013 SE. The price is putting me off somewhat - after Googling I got a UK price of £750 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pioneer-AVIC-EVO1-OC1-MTB-PIONEER-SKODA-Navigation/dp/B01MY54UYN Another request for anybody else with experience of this unit?

Thanks for this - will try this today

Hi all. Overloaded the boot and tried to shut it, and the strings then took the parcel shelf pegs off. Please see the attached picture. Now I can't get them back in! I've tried using a hammer (delicately!). Any ideas or people who've had the same problem? Thanks for any help.

Agreed - the more people complain the better. As others have said - this seems to be an issue where the EQ settings in the Bolero can/need to be tweaked through a simple firmware upgrade (I'd even be willing to pay for it!!). Such as offering a 5-band EQ rather than just 3, as to manipulate some of the frequencies which sound so 'flat'. Anybody looking into the app option please post what you are looking at - interested in this option too!

Thanks! Interesting to hear - the only cars I've ever tried the iPhone through have been two Nissans and a Honda, so that would explain it!

Hi all, Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'd be interested to hear of anybody who has tried any of the aforementioned fixes to the sound, such as new speakers, subs etc. Like many others I'm really disappointed by the sound. Coming from a 2006 Nissan Note with a £40 Phillips head unit (which had 7 band EQ and could read the iPhone through the USB socket), its a real downgrade (!) - not what I expected at all. I listen to primarily jazz, soul, latin and funk. The music has totally lost depth, and I can never get a satisfactory sound with the EQ or the fader options. Totally gutted as this is the only negative thing I have to say about the car. I didn't even think to test the sound at the test-drive either. Just assumed a killer sound system it was a given! Like others on this thread I've contacted Skoda to register my disappointment. I wrote to ask about any firmware updates that would take into account a higher band EQ setting (to solve the issue where the music sounds 'flat' at certain frequency bands) and to see if it could encompass iPhone connectivity through the USB connection (totally embarrassing surely for a car not to read Apple products in 2014?!). The customer service guy was really helpful, but said there were no plans for such updates to the Bolero system. Thinking of going to a decent car audio specialist and getting advice and *gulp* quotes. Cheers Rob
