Hi all, thanks for all being so welcoming on my first ever meet. Was great chatting to you, will surely come to another one in the future. Hopefully by then I'll have added a couple more subtle external modifications to talk about!

I'll be attending in my slightly modified blue Mk3 vRS, got a mate who lives in Meon with a Scirocco R, so I apologise if he shows us up a little bit!

Reviving this topic as I'm looking to go Rieger. Where did you still the holes and are there instructions for it? Quoting this comment because it didn't work last time and I want ahenners to get the notification

Hi Sasha, thanks for all the advice! It has helped but I've still got a couple of questions, I've sent you a private message if you have the chance to look at it.

Hi all. I'm new to buying Skoda and am viewing a Mk3 Octavia VRs, dated between March and September 2013 - so it doesn't support Android Auto which could have been a huge selling point for me. Here is the link for the advert: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201809040142862 I believe it's got a Bolero MIB1 head unit as standard for that model, but is anybody able to tell me how I can reasonably upgrade it to something that can support Android Auto? From my research I believe that I'd need to replace the head unit and the radio unit in the glove box, but how much would this roughly cost, what else would be needed to do this and how easy is it to do? I'd expect a third party needs to do it, so if there's any suggestions as to how to find this service it wouldn't fall on deaf ears. Skoda themselves say it's impossible to upgrade the vehicle to use Android Auto, but I have a feeling that may be their way of funnelling me through only Skoda Approved, and I think you guys might be of much better help. There's not really any functionality I'm prepared to lose, only gain. I'm really new to this so if you have to spell it out like I'm a child I'd greatly appreciate it! And thanks in advance

Hi all, particularly @SashaGrace as it seems you tried to do exactly what I did.
