Hi there, may i ask where you got the igo primo , ive tried to get it to work on mine but it crashes due to resolution problems. cheers.

Don't no anything about the other units I went for the one I got just because it had some previous feedback and seems to have a decent support team

Hey, it was all plug and play , and so far no battery drain. The only thing I needed was a 6 pound aerial adapter.

Sat isn't that bad , not the best picture. But you can change it, I'll b changing it to one call devsat.

yeah , once u link bluetooth its auto detects all your music files and plays straight off.

So received my stereo this morning and installed it in about 20 mins. Pretty happy with it so far, my reversing sensors still work and shows up a display, Also has some nice extra features such as a verbal warning when the doors/boot is open, seat belt warning etc. Sat nav is okay-ish unfortunately it does not have a 7 digit postcode search but it still works reasonable well, I will be changing it to a "desnav" when i get a spare mini sd card. The phone connectivity worked perfectly and was able to make and receive calls using its own mic. CD/DVD works fine and sound quality was decent. All in all im glad a made the purchase, all i gotta do now is wait till the next morning and hope my battery has not drained, although i was assured it shouldn't have battery drain issues. Here are some pics.

I'm receiving mine tommorow so hopefully will get it fitted at the same time , I'll give you some photos etc once complete .

I received a email from Rob and has stated that no Can bus upgrade is needed .

Will do have sent a email , will let u know when I get a reply.

shall do , thanks

I'm still unsure if im needing to update my CAN BUS gateway to use this in a 2006 octavia, i've not had a direct answer as of yet.

Yeah will deffo share experiences, hopefully purchasing tomorrow.

thanks for the answers , i think im gonna chance it and go with a purchase

Hi would I need to update the can bus on a 2006 Octavia with ds820 stereo ?

This looks pretty good , would you need to upgrade the can bus on the older model octys to use this ?

Thanks for the reply John I'll shall look into this further tomorrow.

Hi all i was hoping you could help me and clarify some things for me. I have a 2006 octavia elegance and recently purchased a rns 315 + amundsen to swap with my stream radio. I realize now that i will need to change the CAN BUS to a later version to prevent battery loss. im guessing it will be located behind the glove box and if i purchase one that has been pre programmed then it will be more or less plug and play? any help advise or direction to what i need to buy would be greatly appreciated. MANY THANKS!
