Hi all.
I purchased my first Skoda this weekend, and got an Octavia vrs estate tdi CR. The car came with a bolero unit, no Bluetooth. Only Input I have is an aux. I do have a parrot kit installed, but it’s a fairly basic one without AD2p annoyingly.
Straight away, the stereo doesn’t have the features I like to have, and I’ve always fitted aftermarket stereos in every car I’ve ever owned.
Im a little confused about how to go ahead with this on the Octavia. I’ve pretty much decided I want the pioneer SPH-DA230DAB unit or similar, and looking at buying the Connects2 ctusk01 info lead to keep the original heater climatronic and parking sensor visuals.
Now, my questions are:
1: am I overthinking this and I won’t need that specific lead, as the headunit can already process that data?
2: I don’t have steering wheel controls, and the destructions from Connects2 day they are programmed through SWC. Do I need to worry about this? Something to do with setting the visual display (left hand drive / right hand drive).
3: simply, will it all work ok? Obviously, I need a mic and stuff which I have from a parrot kit installed already.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Usually I can work it out, but I’m completely stumped on this one!
cheers.
Rob.
