[HELP] MIB 2.5 Retrofit Attemp
Yes it is the display, so you have to connect the pink cable to it. You may have to trim the connector for it to fit. I had to trim mine on the display

[HELP] MIB 2.5 Retrofit Attemp
The Pink connector is for sending the picture feed to your screens. Blacks : dab White : FM Blue : gps Pink : picture feed Yellow : USB https://www.forum-audi.com/topic-1407-audi-mib2-systeme-modulaire-dinfodivertissement-de-2eme-generation.html my guess would be grey on the new unit. You should contact pab567 for these questions

Need a new battery.
I also use one, awesome battery. If your car was not factory fitted with an AGM battery, you will have to vcds code the technology and change the battery serial number. The shop that changed my battery told me they did it, I bought a vcds cable to check and as to be expected, they didn't do s..t. It is an easy codding thought.

Are you searching the phone from the car or the car from the phone? Also do the 2 ask for a validating code? You can try this https://youtu.be/N-oYyn6S7_I

On my Amundsen mib1 I pareil galaxy phones from 4 to 21 and on my mib2 upgrade, I paired a s21 so Samsung phones work with these units

Bluetooth Issues
Have you checked if the unit already has 5 phones paired? There is a limit to the number of phones that can be paired. You have to go to the Bluetooth settings.

Phew, you all stressed me with this silicate bag. I just got mine out. 77000km. It was not Burt but a side is all Black. I managed to get it out without removing the overflow bottles but drained it in cases the bag burst.

Dab isn't included, you need a USB dab adaptor. If your previous car had dab, you can get the antenna back, otherwise you have to add an antena. This adaptor works good with dab-z or the dab included software € 26,93 25%de réduction | Récepteur d'autoradio Dab, adaptateur numérique DAB +, boîtier tuner, antenne à boucle amplifiée USB audio, réception radio de décodage Android https://a.aliexpress.com/_EucLnHp Which unit did you get?

SKODA OCTAVIA VRS CHALLENGE TSI - Snow driving advice please
For winter and snow, just fit Winter tyres. The rubber compound and grooving of summer tyres are never going to work in the Winter. All you will achieve is ending in a ditch trying different tips on your summer tyres. And no 4x4 will helps, when braking all 4 tyres will drift anyway. Summer tyres just don't grip on snow, period. I personally go to all 4 Winter tyres from november to April in France. There are cheap and very good alternatives like the vredestein wintrax on 17 inch

My Android head unit upgrade.
You can't access much. You won't get Tyre pressure or car diagnostic. Basically you will have drive settings, ac control and that's all, you can forget drl and other settings.

Hi, this is the unit https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyPYZTt 4gg+64gb The installation is not hard, you have to remove the glove box unit (if you have one) and the head unit. The reste is just plug and play (except for the stock usb cable that need a little modding) To remove the units, you need keys like these ones https://amzn.eu/d/9LaDaDn

Rear camera for Octavia III
This is what I used. If you picture the bracket like on the picture put the small side on the screw of the camera, then bend the long side to the right for it to sit on the trunk. It will make a clamp that works really well don't forget to put a washer on the screw The second picture is Taken from the net but y you should end up with something looking like it

Rear camera for Octavia III
yes, same issue for me, I used some IKEA brackets I has lying around and twisted theme to make a clamp on each side. I taped the part touching the trunk to avoid scratching the paint.

Android 10 Stereo £162 AliExpress gamble! Results:
Nope sorry, I didn't make any pictures. The cable from the amplifier to the cable is short so what I did was get an extension for the usb, hooked it to the plug providing only power. Ran that to the small glove box on the driver side. It gave me enough mic cable left to put the mic on the sun visor.
