Exactly that Yes, as long as the Octavia has the bigger boot handle I don’t quote to supply only unfortunately, there would be no money in it for me so if you want a handle with washer you will need an OEM one for which I recommend vwmodul.de direct or via eBay.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_B1opWf I get loads at a time so you get some decent discount for that. Seller is reliable and packing is very good.

The supplier I get them from has 3 different handles for various applications so I’m used to defaulting to each handle type. Not sure how it does it, but they are plug and play, I’ve fitted 6 of them now.

Honestly it can be disregarded, no other looms have it, they only need 4 pins populated, power, ground and CAN hi and lo, that’s all they need. Just coding now and you’ll be done

Do you have a manual car and is it an OEM camera? For engine sound that’s going to need a new CAN Gateway, it’s not a radio thing so if you want the soundaktor off you’ll need to code it off.

You need MQB Handle A and these cameras require no coding

Yeah they always do. I have had 2 cameras sent with Kufatec cables and to start with every wire is white which is just stupid as the printing on the cables may fade, and you can’t trace wires at a glance and of the 2 one came with a faulty video cable and the other came with half the terminals hanging off as they hadn’t been crimped properly. Their support is also shocking, no recourse at all unless you buy direct (fair enough I suppose) but I bought my power boot loom direct from them and the amount of issues I had was unreal, took 3 weeks to sort and it was only resolved by me paying for VAG wiring diagrams and correcting their mistakes. I would have the Chinese looms off AliExpress before a Kufatec one. I refuse to take cameras with Kufatec cables now for the above reasons as well as the tightness of not supplying the TE Connectivity splitter connections which, again, come with the AliExpress cables at a quarter of the price. And Pin 1 isn’t used, no idea why they fit it.

I assume you have a Kufatec loom if you have the spare pin 1 wire. You will need to make a splitter connection (I make them with TE-Connectivity parts as per factory) or you can strip and splice but I wouldn’t. It’s the performance bus for the CAN to the radio, does the angles of the guidelines. Good luck with it, Kufatec cables are utter rubbish, I would never buy from them again.

Yeah those are good cameras as long as you double check handle size

If you want one with a washer only OEM ones are available and they need to be bought with the parameter file loaded onto them unless you have VCP. Few people on eBay sell them or I can sort a price for supply and fit should you want that

Yeah it is. I don’t pretend to know what it is, but it’s not activated on the FL cars like it is on the PFL but once you make those changes they work

That’s normal, it’s not very loud.

Not sure why, did 2 facelift cars with this coding just last week. See what bits it does accept and take it from there. Might work without every box being ticked.

Not all facelift lights are missing the extra fog, mine have the fogs on both sides. Yeah, on the Skoda’s you need a memory mirror motor and they only fitted those with power seats. You can get them though so it’s possible to retrofit.

It’s a very slim list at this point 🤷‍♀️

Only the facelift Octy has ambient lighting and only the vRS and L&K have it as standard. SportLine and L&K Superb’s also have it as standard but pre MY17 Superb’s only have 3 colours, later cars and all Octy’s that have it have 10 colours. Mine has 30 but that’s via firmware flash and coding

The sticky here is for PFL only, it’s not been updated for FL. Mirror drop will never work without a memory mirror so don’t bother with that unless you have a 7 pin memory motor which was never standard without electric seats. Dual rear fog coding is the same as PFL and will work unless you are double unlucky and you have a cluster that doesn’t have the LED strip installed. Cornering lights for FL non vRS are as follows Alarm chirp is as follows 1 - Module 09 - Electronic. Code (31347) 2 - Adaptation 3 - Signs response 4 - Sub - Akustische rueckmeldungentriegeln --- On 5 - Sub - Akustische rueckmeldungverriegeln --- On 6 - Sub - Global rueckmeldung --- On Akustische 7 - Sub - Akustische rueckmeldungSignalhorn --- On 8 - Sub - Menuesteuerung Akustischerueckmeldung --- On (On Screen Display) 9 - Sub - Dauer der vom akustischenrueckmeldung einfachhorn --- Normal (No alarm) or Kurz (with alarm)

As above needs CP removal and FeC reactivation, contact Pawel (Pab567) and he’ll sort you right out

That’s a MIB1, need a MIB2 radio and screen for SmartLink unfortunately.

Whereas my factory 184 has never beaten 50MPG and has a measured long term average over the last nearly 3 years and 70k miles of 41.3MPG and my stock figures are lower than those mapped ones.

Personally (and I’m not alone in this) I think that the 150 has superior mapping to the 184 and 190 TDI’s. Something about the 150 map seems to make them just as sprightly as the more powerful engines most of the time and I have found the 150’s I’ve driven to be smoother and considerably more fuel efficient than the more powerful ones so on that basis, for me I would be seeking out a 150 over a 190 as I would imagine a mapped 150 would be a far superior car than a 190. If the AWD isn’t 100% necessary (I would argue in this country it’s never necessary, but desirable especially if used as a towing car for the extra weight) and it needs to be a diesel, then I would seek out a 150 over a 190 but that’s only my personal experience.

The SE-L trim matches up to the Elegance but if you have the Columbus DAB and you use the rSAP BT and WiFi connection this has been dropped unless you have the 4G data SIM equipped radio but otherwise the SE-L is pretty much the same spec for spec except the addition of ACC and a few other things. The 190 TDI is the more powerful one but having driven the 150 and 190 I could hardly tell the difference in normal driving. The 150 was a brand new car though with the DQ381 7 speed DSG where the 190 was a near 5 year old one with about 60k and the 6 speed DQ250.

Yeah I use it all the time, coding is done in the same way. I’ve had both versions of the dongle and the older one works really well if you have Android but if you are going to keep it a while, stretch to the new one. Will be supported for longer

I can’t run the VIN myself as I don’t work for Skoda but if you are planning to come my way at some point please let me know and we can sort something out.

Quite unusual to have one without nav. That’s a MIB2 Bolero, you’ll need a 5E0919605N screen for this upgrade. Not sure where you are but drop me a PM if you are interested in this and/or some other mods and I can put a package together for you
