  1. This should not happen, the sound should go through Bluetooth and not the usb. At least that is how android auto works.
  2. These brakes are tricky, brembo has 2 sizes for the 2014 vrs. The difference is that they are referenced for red or normal caliper 🤷🏾‍♂️ I ended up charging theme at the dealer's
  3. This one is supposed to work without coding https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHQ6uEL
  4. 15 euros, excellent Price. In think the Chinese have got a hand of it now. It seems carplay has delays in phone calls but that is something out just does, wired or wireless
  5. Os it the carlinkit 5.0? Normally you should connect to the dongle Bluetooth, it will then switch to the car Bluetooth and activate a WiFi link between the phone nd the dongle. I think the connection is in 5ghz so check that your phones supports it. Also check if you need to enter a password for the WiFi.
  6. Look at remus or fox exhausts, they have adaptable mufflers or full custom exhausts
  7. You can't go wrong with any In fact, the price has decreased It use to be around 50 euros
  8. Ha ha yes. Setup is really easy. Plug it in the usb socket When the light turns blue, search for the Bluetooth unit and connect. It will then activate the wifi on your phone and switch the bt to the car The WiFi sort of replaces the usb cord. Once this is done, the new connections will be automatic. I highly suggest doing an update before first use. All the steps are described in the leaflet in the box
  9. Yes it offers the 2. The usb stick only does AA. It has an extension though to have it not directly plugged in the socket
  10. Check out this topic, I was quite active on it at the time and it is very complete. I ended up going for a mib upgrade at the end
  11. Oh man, you should have read different threads on android head units. For the reverse radars, you have to set the canbus for vag vehicles in the settings of the head unit. For what you will be messing... Horrible phone call quality Very limited car settings No error message will be displayed Hit and miss on displaying drive mods. You will not hear the GPS instructions if you are listening to the dab, musique from the sd card or streaming (you have to install a tts app and set is as gps for that) Carplay and aa work but try talking to it, it will not recognise anything you say If you can live with this then the functionalities can get quite interesting
  12. Yes I use this one, the usb stick version. I have it since January and it is flawless. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EG8gSfl If you want one that dors AA and carplay, then this one, the 5.0 version https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQqCuZD
  13. Infotainment is only good for dab. The maps aren't updated anymore so AA is the way to go. Get a wireless dongle to avoid your phone getting hot with the lousy 10w usb port. As HappySam said, you can unlock the sd card check and use any card for the maps
  14. The vin is the car serial number. You can see it on the car papers
  15. Mine is keyless but if the car is turned off it will stay on until i open the door. Then it shuts off.
  16. You can update to a newer mib unit. I see you don't have a gps. You can add a module with a fakra plug and be good to go. I don't recommend android units as the call quality is crap. Ask @pab567 to fix you up good, many of us have done it with his cooperation
  17. Way to go. Mine is 10 years, first Octavia, got it new and i don't see what else i would but now
  18. Hello, you can fit a puzu amp. They have the mib dedicated harness. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGwe2hJ For carplay, you may need to change the glovebox unit and usb port.
  19. Believe me you will return it. They mention dab but there is no tuner. You will need a usb tuner and a fakra to dma to connect the car dab antenna to the usb tuner to tje unit. You can also use another fakra to sma to connect the car gps antenna to the unit which is better than the provided GPS antenna.
  20. Stay away from those devices. I have been very active on a thread here on the ebilaen unit. I tried to tame it for almost 6 months. The unit itself runs Very well but : - phone call quality is really bad, people don't hear you when the car is moving. I had to put a noise cancelling mic - android auto is emulated. The apps run good but forget the voice recognition. It doesn't work at all - you will loose almost all the car settings options and all the car error codes -the usb port will not work unless you splice and repin the power wires on the other hand, apps work great, gps, dab.... Better go for a mib 2 it is what I ended doing
  21. The firmware is the "software" that manages the unit. It is hard codded in it and can be upgraded to solve issues
  22. I would personally try 2 things. Firmware update And maybe erase and redo the map SD card
