Hello, So ingot Octavia new in 2014 and the spare kessy has being sitting in it's box since. It had never being used. Yesterday, main key ended in the washing machine.... Yeah it sucks, luckily it Still works. Anyway, when it was drying, i took my brand new kessy, put a new battery and.... Nothing. It won't open the car (buttons and door handle dont work) it flashes but the car won't accept it. I opened the car with the old remote, swirched the batterie but the car won't start. I put the key on the start button to see if it Would communicat and nothing. I find this strange that it won't communicate. Am I missing something ? Thanks

Stay with a clean stock mann filter. K&n will be louder and sound cool. But achieving that means less filtration to let more air trought. As for performance... Maybe sligh better thottle response, nothing more.

it's a hit or miss situation. they have talking about it for months. It depends where you are. I live in Lyon and it is still actif. go here it will give you your rating depending on the fuel type and year (it will pop up on the right of the screen above the picture of the car) : https://www.certificat-air.gouv.fr/simulation edit : your are crit air 1 so good to go anywhere

true, mainly big cities

Hello, I am in France, my 2014 VRS TSI is crit'air 1.

my cad had an MIB1 and I went for the 2. I trimmed the plug, no issues

you should check with pab567, he is the MIB guru around here

If you don't have driving mode then can mostly doesn't have it. I had an MIB amundsen on may 2014 vrs tsi, it had driving mode so it is not an mib thing. For the screen, you have to change the unit too, the mib1 amundsen is the lower res one OEM camera can be done but is really expensive and depends on the boot handle. Mu handle isn't the right size for the oem camera so went with chinese knock off

Android auto is useful for gps and music. I find the sound better than tha standard bluetooth. Maybe something to do with the sound level. On the other hand, speach récognition is a hastle. I think it's an Android issue as carplay is flawless. You speak and it just hangs for 20 seconds and records only half of what you say. I recently got an iPhone for work and dont have this issue on it

Michelin ps4 or goodyear eagles 6 I have eagles as summer tyres and Michelin Alpins as winter. Even though the goodyears are excellent and have good lifespans (put 60k on my 3 before installing the 6) I find the Alpins to have better handeling. Sonif the winter tyres are that good, imagin the ps4 should be excellent

@pab567 to the rescue

So finally, this seems to be a head unit issue. I have a friend with a 2019 Tiguan with what looks like the same Amundsen as mine. Wired android auto works I tried my dongle with my phone (that works on my Amundsen) and no way to get wireless android auto... I recently got a carlinkit mini ultra (Great unit by the way) as my work provided me with an iPhone. I will give it a try on his car and see if carplay works and not android auto

Just get a screen from pab, tu will have the genuin product

I don't think that a wireless drive can mess up your BT. Have you tried a factory reset of the head unit? or at least hard boot by staying pressed ont the power button?

This is odd, my 2014 baught new with 116000 km still has white drl. My car sleeps in a garage, in don't know if it can affect the leds

Your tag didn't work @pab567

In have this one since 2023. It has been flawless since. Still using it without any issue https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGcl0tK

When you are in this in between state, is your wifi connected to the dongle? Check on your wifi networks on the phone if you have the dongle wifi registered. Have you updated the dongle firmware?

Stupid question but have you activated wireless android auto on your phone? My generic Chinese dongle has been flawless for the past 2 years

I personally plugged it on the rear wiper with a hardwire kit.

send your vin to @pab567

@pab567 will help you out

It happened to me once, just turning off and on the car restored it. Happened about 3 years ago. If yours stays off, I would suggest checking for a fuse

Agreed, this is normal

Definitely sound deadening and shocks I have a 2014 vrs tsi
