If you're looking to upgrade to satnav and bluetooth then a Amundsen+ (RNS315) with bluetooth built in (check mac address as above) is a great option. Just bare in mind it costs about £150-£200 a year to upgrade the maps.
However, if as the OP appears to be you're happy with a non satnav unit then adding a BT module is much cheaper than swapping the bolero for a Amundsen+.
Just for clarity, the Amundsen (RNS310) never has BT fitted.
Exactly what this man said!

Get an Amundsen+ or RNS315.

Do we have VCP owners map?

Is this still the case? Sorry to drag up old thread.

As title... I have a VCDS, but not having much joy.

The Skoda dealer I bought my Octavia VRS from put these on to shift the car. I wouldn't buy them again, but they weren't bad enough to take off and replace immediately.
My wife's fabia also came with them on the front and I did change them straight away. The imbalance was horrific!

I had 2x KU39s on the back of my Leon FR...
Going to get 4 fitted to my MK2 VRS tomorrow for £295.

Agree with you on this. I had a few sets of 452s, but the 453s weren't as good.

First time back here for a year or so. My Oct VRS was in for service.
Can't fault them. Every aspect seemed spot on.

I've been given a set of uprated ARBs from a Seat Leon and the part numbers seem to match for a my Octavia. Would there be a noticeable difference using these with standard suspension or should they be installed as part of a full kit?
Thanks.
-
Do you get many people turn up for these? Not been to a meet before...
-
I've bought 3 cars from here over the years. Never had an issue. Always been pleasant enough to deal with.

Nice one Andy! I went from a maxi dot to a non maxi dot this week and I was really going to miss that feature. I didn't know non maxi dots could do it also.

Not got a Shark reseller nearby? Shark themselves is too far for me also, but there are a network of resellers who can upload the same map.
-
I'll keep my eyes peeled for this also...
-
Well that escalated quickly...

Not Liverpool I know but I have a maroon Superb estate in Ormskirk so not too far away and my Briskoda sticker in the window
I spend a lot of time in Ormskirk. I lived in Westhead for 18 years. All of my family and friends are there. I'll keep an eye out.

Bought 30th Sept
'61' VRS Estate
£12,000
44,000 miles
Very little out there when I looked, though I was being quite specific in what I wanted.
Ended up doing a 7 hour return trip to buy it.

You have a plus without bluetooth??
The plus models just need a microphone adding for about £30-£35.

Hi,
Not sure if you got this sorted, btu here's my 2p...
My 61 playe Octavia came with Amundsen, and I have seen 12 plates with Amundsen+ units, so I think the changeover was there...
The Amundsen units require a separate bluetooth module to be installed under the passenger seat and a wiring loom adding. The parts for this alone put me off doing this. £250+
I sold my Amundsen unit on ebay and bought an Amundsen+. Sold for £200, bought for £350. Then get a mic (again, ebay, about £30 i think). There was a useful thread on here for installing the mic. Was pretty much spot on. The Amundsen+ also has maps on the built in hard drive, as opposed to CD or SD card on the standard Amundsen. Well worth upgrading.

9p beats me...
The screwhead caps/covers for the hooks in the boot are 17p inc VAT.

I was going to get the Koni kit (yes Mikejay , H&R springs) for my Leon FR, but ended up going for Weitec (Now ST Suspensions) by KW because of lead times. Koni kit was going to take 4+ months becasuse they were moving factories or something in Holland.
The KW kit was absolutely awesome. Totally transformed the car.

Chunk, did Awesome do your Shark map?
They offered APR when I spoke to them. Thinking of heading to GNJ.

I was about to list my setup from a 2012 for the same reason, but I was expecting way more than what you're asking! Someone needs to snap up that bargain!
