Amunsden Plus Bluetooth and Microphone install "How to"
Mallard replied to Welsh_kai_boy's topic in Skoda Octavia Guides
A few pointers for others to avoid taking 90 minutes to do this. The OPs guide is very good, this is just my short comings. My first mistake was not having a short Torx screw driver. Just a long one and Torx bits. This made removing the top three screws from glove box rather differently. I ended up with a Torx bit clamped in mole grips, making the process of removing the glove box screws very slow. I also wasted a good 10-15 minutes trying to feed the cable behind the glove box without removing it (don’t waste your time trying this). i found that there were actually 6 rather than 5 screws. Once all removed you can drop the glove box down (I didn’t actually need to removed the glove box light or the air con pipe) and thread the cable through. I found inserting the microphone into the trim very fiddle. Took a very long time. No great tip here. Was just a pain. My final struggle was in getting the green connector into the existing connecting block at the head unit end. It turns out that on the cable I purchased the outer green connector had to be liberated with a Stanley knife from the inner black connector before it would fit into the connection in the car. One thing I’m glad I did was buying a set of plastic trim removal tools. This made trim removal easy and there were no breakages. Hope this is of use. -

Well that was a right royal pain in the *rs*! 90 minutes. Have I set a new record? -

Window operation with remote key
Mallard replied to Mallard's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
School boy error on my part. Just found a lot more menus within the maxidot. Didnt realise you had to press and hold the rocker switch. I really should read the handbook! Thanks all. Sorted now. -
Window operation with remote key

I have maxidot but have not come across anything obvious in the menus. What am I missing? Cheers. -
When I open or close the windows with remote on the key only the drivers window moves. I tried resetting each of the other windows in turn (open window, press and hold open again, close window, press and hold close again). The remote then opened all the windows, but only once, then reverted to just the drivers window. How can open and close all windows with the key? Any ideas much appreciated.

Just purchased a vrs blackline. Does anyone know where I could get the Bluetooth turned on and a microphone fitted in the Liverpool area? Many thanks.
