Sat Nav issues on Octavia VRS estate
Yes it is different, rebooting will just restart it. Factory reset will bring it back to the original state and errase all your settings and the eventual cache files. Go through the menus, you will see the option somewhere. Sorry but I can't check where it is in my car before tomorrow

Nope, never happened. Have you tried factory resetting it?

Cigarette Boot Socket
Reverse camera should be connected to the reverse light. Easiest way is get one with an iso harness, it will connect to the infotainment and power out from there. I connected mine to the dashcam hardwire which is on the rear wiper Fuse

Then go for the full standard swap. You keep everything stock, add the wireless dongle (between 30 and 60 euros) and you are good to go Pab on the forum will fix you up good

Your profile says 2018 vrs, i assume you must have an amundsen or a Colombus. So you have the app button?

What is the original head unit? Does it manage wired android auto/carplay?

French Kenwood website makes no mention of car info on the head unit The link you sent says that what the canbus can manage then gives a list of units. Some units manage car info and some don't.

Yes, They must have listed it to say that it can give you steering wheel control and maybe factory mic. What they did not mention is that the head unit has to have a menu for the car infos. It is a marketing scam

Dis the Kenwood have a menu to display car info? This canbus will just relay the info, not create a new menu in the head unit. Therefore it will give you steering wheel control

Dashcam install
I personnaly would leave the ingniton Fuse alone. Don't tamper with anything that has to do with the car running. Plug yourself on the cigarette lighter Fuse instead, it is permanent. If you want After ignition then go for the rear wiper Fuse (what I did)

Totally agree. All it needs is better sound proofing and it would just be perfect

Columbus Wireless AA
+ phone needs to be WiFi 5

Columbus Wireless AA
The only requirement is that your head unit and phone manage Android auto (wired). Which I believe do. So of you can connect wired AA then you are good to go. When the dongle detects your bt, il will automatically activate your WiFi. I recommend updating it before first use I use it on an amundsen mib 2.0 and it is flawless no need to go more expensive unless you want a dongle that also manages car play. In that case the carlinkit 5.0 would be your choice. Good thing with this aa dongle is the usb key form factor, it doesn't dangle around and sits in the usb socket

Columbus Wireless AA
I use this one (new model) Cheap and works flawlessly. It keeps the original Bluetooth connection and "replaces" the usb connection by WiFi 5 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHlZvtT
