Coding and adaptation for the next mod is now sorted, can you tell what it is yet?

I have OBDEleven, VCP and ODIS but I use OBDEleven first as it’s easy and on my phone. I’ve only just got VCP to crack these cameras, was borrowed but I think I’ll keep it. I’ll add VCDS when I can get a cheap one.

My iPhone 11 PM and older Plus sized iPhone fits on the OEM Qi charging tray with a case on, but not a bulky case.

Hi, I haven’t, that seems odd, maybe the adhesive is failing? 5Q0937084CG flashed to CQ 0253 S/W. It’s not for the faint of heart and yes you can use any brand, mine was from and Audi but you need the correct dataset to get it to work correctly. That’s how it was on my car, it wouldn’t work without the sensors being fixed but that may not be the case for other cars. You need to add the same RGB values in the LIN and LIN 2 colour lists to do the door strips.

I removed them, easy to do. 5 torx screws on each one.

You’ll still need the memory motor which you won’t have unless you have electric seats with memory.

£137 is the price to aim for.

You need the head unit. The screen is just a screen. The radio HU will need CP removed and features re activated. It’s only the 8 inch screens that work plug and play with the MIB2’s.

If you can’t find anyone close to you I am in North Wales and I can do it if that helps plus any other coding you’d like. If you have a 2020 model car S/S can no longer be disabled but older cars it can be done very easily.

You need to change the long coding from MOST to CAN display in 5F and you will need FL BCM for ambient lighting, it’s not part of the radio package.

Seeing as the Citigo has its own thread, seems rude not to give the Octavia one too. The reasons for buying this came about because of a new job, the need for more space inside and with the job, a longer commute. While I love the little Citigo, and am genuinely glad I still get to keep it (kind of), I am very happy to be in a ‘grown up’ car again. Also, my 2 year old is loving all the space in the back that he doesn’t have in either the Citigo nor the Mercedes. The Citigo thread started with pics of the car in the showroom but as this one is used, may as well start with how it looks today!! Octavia vRS by SashaGrace, on Flickr Octavia vRS by SashaGrace, on Flickr Octavia vRS by SashaGrace, on Flickr Octavia vRS by SashaGrace, on Flickr Octavia vRS by SashaGrace, on Flickr Was freshly cleaned when I collected it, that's not even 200 miles worth haha! The spec, so far as I can tell is pretty decent, I think it’s Quartz Grey with winter pack, full leather, black pack (this really completes the car IMO and I love it on my Citigo MC so it was one of the stand out reasons I wanted this car), and is a 2.0 184 TDi partnered with the DSG box. Observations after 300 miles; it’s quick! Thinking back to my Mercedes which is a 400bhp AMG V8 missile it doesn’t disgrace itself in daily driving, even in eco mode (shamefully, that the mode the car will probably live in) the car is plenty quick enough for me. It’s also huge inside, I see now why people rave about the cabin because it is so spacious and the boot is palatial. The Sport mode I’m not sure about; the sound symposer isn’t as naff as I thought it’d be but it seems to hold onto gears a lot longer than I’d like and doesn’t get the message when to change up, though thankfully the paddle shifters can deal with that. The headlights are amazing, I though the Merc bi-xenons were good, the aren’t as good as these! Also worthy of note is the driving position and my worries of interior quality are gone, simply gone, as the car has done 75k and it simply doesn’t show inside, it even smells as good as new. Already I have sourced some chrome key ends, silicone key covers and a whole host of other stuff from eBay and I’ve ordered in some new rubber mats from the dealers, though I’m on the hunt for a drivers carpet mat with the silver piping, just in case one appears to give me a set of each. Also needed was a radio antenna. This follows my tradition of buying used cars and them breaking instantly! The radio was working fine yesterday on DAB, FM & AM but today wouldn’t find a single station. As work shut early I went to the local dealer and hooked the car on the scanner where the antenna was deemed the culprit! Never mind, what’s a £40 part in terms of an £11k car? Just hope that’s the only thing that goes wrong lol. On the mod list so far:- VCDS adaptations, it has lane assist so I believe that auto high beam and traffic sign recognition are features I can install so I’d like to do that, along with some other tweaks, though the car already has the needle sweep, auto rain close windows and some other stuff working. LED lighting, rear plate and interior upgrade and rear footwell light install. That’s about it really, just run it and see from there really. Gotta get it all cleaned up before I get too excited though haha! It’s a busy beaver this week though, off to Wrexham tomorrow and Liverpool Wednesday, then my regular 40 mile round commute Thursday and I’ll be off work Friday (hopefully fitting that antenna!). If there are any good mods I’ve missed, do let me know!!
