Great thread @Tin82 The steering wheel buttons I got supplied with do not have the connectors for the DSG paddles. Part number 3VD 919 719 B The footprint for the connector and associated circuitry is on the button pcb just unpopulated

New splitter fitted after the original one gave way at speed. I think i prefer the look of the new one and it should be a bit safer at speed bumps! The old one:

While we're at it... anyone have the correct part number for the virtual cockpit steering wheel buttons with paddles. I went to fit mine and the paddle connectors weren't there 😔

The trim I got/used isn't the carbon fibre of the dash and I was told the carbon fibre version wasn't available.

Something i didn't realise until someone asked but the black badges from Super Skoda are different colours. One is metallic black and the other is flat gloss.

I used Tyrone at Cartechnics (https://www.facebook.com/cartechnicsuk/) VC and steering wheels buttons were supplied for £850 and £120 respectively. This included the coding etc. Had i been local to him he would've fitted for the same price. As i have the Canton sound system i needed to buy a fibre optic splitter which was about £15 on ebay. Fitting is fairly easy if you're used to working with your hands in cramped dashboards! The hardest part was running the fibre optic from the cluster to the MIB in the glovebox. You'll also need a working vas5054 if getting coded remotely

After a bit of hoop jumping (and help from here) the virtual cockpit retrofit is done and all working. RS theme on the VC and Android Auto Performance Monitor ties together nicely

Oh hang on its just updated to RS theme. I changed to 280kmph set the obdeleven app to classic theme then to RS and it worked!

Speedo end (called tachometer end value in obdeleven??) was set to version 0 (260kmph) but I just changed it to version 2 (280kmph)

As mentioned elsewhere I've recently retrofitted a virtual cockpit, all coded up and working with maps. I've tried to activate the RS theme with no success. Using both the obdeleven app and setting the adaption manually (tube and display depiction set to version 3). Anyone any clue (from searching I'm definitely aiming this towards @SashaGrace)

@RomanB I left the resolution setting as you had advised above and parked up. When I started it after a few hours it was working. I had reset both the dash and mib via obdeleven but something about leaving it powered off has done the trick. Thank you!

navigation_map_resolution was set to resolution_1 but changed to 3 and hard reset the MIB but no change Is there a suitable equivalent in obdeleven?

Hi all. I retrofitted the virtual cockpit and had it coded remotely a few weeks back, all fine. I wasn't able to fit the fibre optic at the time because I have the Canton sound system so needed to buy/make a fibre optic splitter. I installed the fibre optic and splitter yesterday but am having trouble with the maps displaying all messed up. Sound is working fine and the map display is changing as I move so I'm happy the physical installation is OK. I spoke to the guy who coded the cluster in and followed instructions to disconnect cluster power attach fibre to MIB and then cluster and reapply power. All combinations of connections result in the same output on the clusters MIB firmware is v1440, cluster firmware is 1710 Has anyone any ideas what to do here??

I did some more looking at this today. When you select a colour on the screen the MIB sends a CAN message to the BCM with 6 bytes, 3 of them are the Red, Green and Blue values. My hope was I could just send packets with my own RGB values and have the lighting set to any colour but it seems that the BCM will only change to a colour that is already programmed, either standard or added by vcds/obdeleven. It doesn't make much sense to me that you'd send the values if you're not using them so that's a bit disappointing.

Try this There isn't much to see. I was going to stick up a seperate thread but was too lazy 🤣

I bouht myself a Macchina M2 and wanted something to play aorund with. I tapped into the two CAN BUSes on the MIB (convenience andinfotainment) and with a little bit of pointing arounf using SavvyCAN i was able t isolated the packets teh MIB was sending to the BCM. Attached is a video of the ambient light colors cycling by themselves (well with the help of my laptop ). Originally i was going to go for the LIN BUS directly but at least this way i get the colours on the screen/dash instead of just the hardware lights. Possibilities from this poking around are controller for normal 12v RGB strip that is linked to the ambient lighting or bluetooth app with RGB colour wheel for maximum colours - any other ideas? ambient.mp4

Hi @Camarao69 I have my cable and am looking to start wiring, my loom has this extra terminal that yours doesn't. From looking at wiring diagrams I think it is a 12v feed? Can you tell me where you wired into the CAN extended bus?

You just need an SD and copy the files across. I got them from someone on here - they're 1.5GB so I'll need to find a decent way of sharing

Yep MIB toolbox, I just need to get better at graphic design to do something cool with it!

Don't think so to be honest. I upgraded from 1163 and there's some slight UI tweaks and the default Superb is a FL now. I plan on changing out the images to better suit my sportline

Dare I tempt you with custom boot animations 😂

Hi all, Can anyone tell me how many LIN-BUSes are in the superb and where are they going? I'm looking to access the one for the ambient lighting - Where's the best/easiest place to do this?

Oops...i actually thought I'd stopped away from the kerb

It is lovely, sometimes hard to appreciate it when seeing it everyday. What part of wicklow did you visit?
