Winston_Woof you are a star! That must be what I am looking for - well done Sir. Could this be what some people have fitted by car insurance companies to monior their driving and therby get lower insurance premiums? Anyway, you are a scholar and a gentleman - now to try and find all the componets shown in the ebay link you posted.

This is the custom fitted control panel I removed from my Octavia dashboard. Does anyone recognise what it was for? My guess is that it is some sort of speed camera radar/laser detector warning system and that is what is causing the random 'beeb' sound every 2-3 minutes. The random sound does not correlate to traffic lights, junctions, other cars nearby, etc. If someone knows what it is then maybe I will know what other wiring I am looking for to remove. It is only 5mm thick and consists of 2 simple press buttons on the front. Inside is a printed circuit board but no battery, so it must be wired directly to my car's elecrics. Before I try dismantling my dashboard I really need to have an idea what it is that I'm looking for! Any help or ideas will be most gratefully received. If it is a speed camera detector then there must be a receiving aerial fitted but I can't see it anywhere.

Amundsen MIB2 The satnav is the Amundsen MIB2. I have updated the satnav/infomation unit to the latest available download. The suggestion about a speed camera detector is plausible as I removed a small control panel that was dangling from the dash when I got the car. Perhaps there is still the gubbins of the detector somewhere inside the dashboard!

Can someone please help me with this strange problem. When I first got the octavia estate mk3 1.5 Tsi SE L 69 plate all was fine with the satnav/infomation unit. Now it gives out this single 'beep' tone at random intervals especially when I,m driving through built up areas. Cannot find anything in the settings on the unit or in the manual. Can any of you fine chaps/chapesses tell me WTF is going on?

Have just got a 2019 Skoda Octavia Mk3 estate and am very pleased with it. Can I update the software? I see that PAB567 and Joco776 are real experts in this matter! Any advice is most welcome
