I have it installed in my octavia too. It has some nice features, but there also some things which needs improvement... The compass in mfa comes and goes. It doesn't show the parking sensor screen before fully booted (22s). It is not able to read all files on my usb stick with Flac file's. Etc...

Yes, it is Pioneer Navgate Evo. I will try to make a video in the weekend maybe. Sound quality? Hmmm, I didn't change speakers and was mainly interested in Andoid Auto, DAB etc. I haven't played around with sound settings and haven't tried to turn up the volume, so it is hard to tell if it is an improvement yet...

I got the new Pioneer unit installed in my Octavia 2 weeks ago. So far I am happy with it. There are things, which could be improved (start-up time, minor things in UI) but it is still a nice improvement over my Swing radio which did not even have bluetooth. I really like DAB, Bluetooth and the built-in GPS with guidance in maxidot display.

I heard it has been delayed until November - even though I found it here yesterday: http://www.automat.nl/artikel/183730/pioneer-navgate-evo-skoda-octavia-matte-black.html

I plan to buy this from Pioneer made specifically for Octavia 5E. It should be released for sale in august. http://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/navgateevo
