[Apple car play adapter?]

On 01/03/2020 at 18:26, System0fAClown said:

Is the unit supposed to support car play? If so you may just need to change the USB port under the heater dials. The old usb is black 5Q0035726C, the new usb that supports car play is green 5Q0035726E, you’ll need to trim a piece off of the plug to get it to fit.

 

hope this helps.

Thank you I’ll look into it. The unit it self as far as I know doesn’t. I could be wrong though.  and alpine it released a new unit without the screen for 700 pounds 

[Apple car play adapter?]

Hi all, 

 

I have an aftermarket ALPINE STYLE X901-OC3 for my MK3, its a great system but missing Apple Car Play. 
 

would anyone know if there is an after market usb or adapter to connect to convert to Apple car play?  Most of the USB adapters I have found run on android System.  
 

I tried screen mirror but it’s not the same, you still have to use phone for map changes etc. 
 

many thanks in advance

Good luck to you all experiencing the same problem

It does not, it’s says 5.8 inch screens are not supported which is what you have. What features do you want and what is your budget? That will dictate the best choice of radio.

Yeah I read that part! I was being optimistic haha 🙂

 

i want apple car play and the ability to keep stalk controls with dashboard display. 

I have a budget of £500.

Why would you want a Bolero with no nav? This is a MIB1 Amundsen. There are several retrofit options, lots of threads on this lately.

 

 

I want to retro fit this system found. But unsure if it fits.

I previously installed a Navgate Evo but it was faulty and reverted back to factory system.

Hello,

 

So you have any news with the issue?  I had the error message again today and i went directly to the dealer for check and they found the fault error and booked me in the date of 16 for 2 hours test.And i told them what if fault dissapear until then and they said that they can't do anything else ... that is the only free space.I called skoda and they told me to wait until the date of 16 to make the test again and if nothing will show to call them and go to a big skoda dealer for some extra verification. This is what happened today regarding this error again!. 

 

So until now i had the error message 3 times and i lost one day and a half and still nothing. I will wait the date of 16 to see what happens

 

Well for the last 3 weeks Skoda keep calling me and sending me SMS saying the same thing. 

“Dear Mr .......

I apologise I have not been able to speak to you today. To update you, I am awaiting a response from the dealership. I will endeavour to contact you in the next 48 working hours. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

Kind Regards 

Shama Iqbal 
Customer Relations Manager“

It seems that the dealership is not interested even getting back to Skoda never mind myself!!!!

Hi guys

 

Well I wrote to skoda uk with a compain on the issue. They replied back to me via telephone call. I was told they will speak to the dealer for a good will gesture. I am not sure what this gesture will include but I will get back to you with the outcome.

 

keep you posted

Do you have full dealer service history? Ask for some goodwill contribution. It's a common issue as per this thread and I'd be surprised if you couldn't get some contribution via the dealer or via Skoda UK.

yeah its all full dealer service history. I will pursue this.

Having the same issue... My octavia has only done 44k mile and out of warranty now 😞

This is what I have been quoted for the repair at Skoda in Stockport...! No way can I afford this. I cant believe its such a common fault and Skoda are not doing a recall.... Ridiculous

Mines in for this fault this week. Luckily covered under my used warranty. 

 

I don't think its the gear lever itself, something lower down in the car / gear box?

Let us know what they say if you have time.

This is what the official fault is and parts required....

[Gear lever sensor faulty]

Blimey!!! not sure what to do now!  I love my Octavia but cant afford that type of a repair, especially if its a common fault!

It's a common fault. I had three gear levers and even a new lever could fault in a matter of weeks.

 

 

Thanks for link will have a good read

[Gear lever sensor faulty]

Hi guys,

 

any advice you can give me on this problem would be appreciated.

 

Every so often I was getting a pop up message on dashboard, Error Workshop position lever in P.

 

i took to the Skoda dealer here in Stockport and they have told me the gear lever sensor is faulty and requires replacing.... at a cost of 1k!! £600 for parts and £400 labour!! Skoda told me I can still drive the vehicle but recommend to get it fixed. Also it’s due for an MOT... if it fails on MOT.... dreading it!

 

Would anyone know a good good quality mechanic who can do the job? Looking for quotes. 

 

Cheers guys

Hi guy,

 

just an update, I in the end have sent the NavGate Evo back for a full refund. I sent it back to pioneer  as it wasn’t working correctly. 

 

Some issues where

 

System restarting, bad fm signal, gps not recognising position, apple car play freezing, stalk controls not working correctly. 

 

After a a couple of weeks I received the unit back all excited as installed the unit back in my Octavia and as to my disappointment it was still faulty! 

 

Dab signal awful, even after purchasing a new antenna, apple car play freezing, fm signal bad again, stalk controls still not working. 

 

Sent it it back and was promised a full refund. 

 

Now or I am back to my factory head unit.

 

sorry I haven’t taken any photo of install guys I got so carried away by the time I realised photos the unit was installed!!

How does this work in-terms of the car screen? Show mpg etc and can you change settings of the car as well?

these features are the one things stopping me from changing system 

It works very well it shows you all the details you need. From when you start engine, long term etc. 

You can also change car settings such as lights, set tyre pressure, pretty much all as the factory fitted one. I’ll take a photo and post it for you. 

[Navgate Evo headrest monitor]

Hey Brian, I will take some photos when I remove the unit to install the dab adapter to use existing aerial. 

 

so far the swap is good. Run into a few issues at first but I have ironed them out. Self install is pretty easy. 

 

Well worth the investment. 

[Navgate Evo headrest monitor]

Hi guys,

 

I have successfully replacement my factory fitted infotainment unit with the Pioneer Navgate Evo. 

 

There is a function on the unit to send video to the rear... I am assuming this is for a headrest TV monitor of sort. Would anyone have any advice on which one to purchase to connect directly to the Navgate Evo to send the signal to the headrest?

 

The video plays fine when you are parked but when you drive off it stop and you are warned about safety. I understand this as its a distraction. Hence the reason I would like a headrest with monitor as its for my little girl for when we go on long trips. 

 

Cheers Andreas

[Replace amundsen unit]

yeah I know it’s christmas Day but one cannot resist playing with a new toy!

 

i have now got apple car play working and some stalk controls. The only part of steering wheel control which isn’t working correctly is the telephone. Cannot answer or make a call!!!!

 

2nd problem is the ariel signal is very weak! Damn! Back to the ripping the cables out and checking all connections! 

 

Merry christmas everyone 

[Replace amundsen unit]

Hi all, I have installed the Navgate Evo,  with faults :-(

 

I’ll list them below

 

1. apple car car play isn’t recognised. Not sure why, maybe connected to wrong USB. Will investigate.

 

2. Stalk controls are not all working! Al connections are to correct connection. I may have to strip the whole unit and try again! Really don’t want to do that!

 

apart from the 2 issues, all seems okay so far. 

 

Will keep tou posted.

I have took the plunge and order the Navgate Evo! Can anyone suggest which stereo removal keys I have to buy to remove the existing infotainment unit?

Be aware if you have MY15 or earlier that won’t fit without cutting the car to widen the original hole. I have one that fits straight in to an earlier car as is, no cutting. I would link, but they haven’t sent me a replacement yet for the one that came with the wrong kind of camera so can’t fully recommend yet.

My Octavia is a GM15 early 2015 MK3. The unit pist0nbr0ke mentioned is the one you are referring to?
