  1. Hello everyone! I have the Skoda Octavia mk3 5e 2013 1.6 dsg diesel. For 2 years straight now I am having random long cranking times. In the morning either the weather is hot or cold it will take even 8 seconds for the engine to start. If after that i switch it off and start it again it automatically starts. No problem. The long time that it takes to start maybe random but it will happen more 10 times a month. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
  2. I be asked so many times for a solution to my problem with the rear view camera and nobody knows how to help me. It's been a year now that I'm asking . Thanks for nothing
  3. Hello sashagrace I am John from Athens Greece and a member of briskoda. I would like you to help me if you have the time with my revercing camera problem . I have bought a cheap 20 euros Chinese camera that s suitable for the trunk of my Octavia mk3 5e 2013 model. Can you send me any Fotos of the connections I have to make inorder for it to work? I think I might be doing something wrong. I've done the vcds coding and the blue interface thing but no luck. I have the bolero . The screen goes black when I put reverse and it shows the warning down below and I get the adjustments for brightness etc. But no image . Would you help me please cause this is aproblem I can't solve and it's driving me crazy. Thank you very much for your time.

      That is down to the fact you are not getting any video from the camera.

      If I connect a simple monitor I get video

      You may have the video/ground connections reversed on the connector. They have to be the correct way round for it to work

  4. Excellent. The thing is driving me nuts.
  5. I don't know Pab. If you could ask him I would appreciate it . It's a matter that s been troubling me for quite some time now.
  6. From my understanding and from what I read in here we are **** out of luck. For some odd reason the screen will go black and show adjustments and everything it should but no image. I did the vcds programming but nothing. Some other guy in here said that it's doable but I tend to think that is doable if on the left bottom corner says VOICE and no TP. Mine says TP so I'm f@@@d.... If you got any ideas please share
  7. You mean the screen or the CD unit? The device part number is 5E0035819A. HARDWARE:040 SOFTWARE:0421MEDIA CODEC:N/A
  8. For a long time now I have the problem that my bolero won't show me rear view camera. From what I gathered since it has the TP down left button it won't work. So I have to ask everyone here ... Do I change it with a bolero that has VOICE written on the button or do I upgrade to Colombus !? Will I need extra coding??
  9. Yes of course I did. When I put reverse it goes black screen and it shows a warning at the bottom of the screen and adjustments for brightness etc. When I connect the camera to a simple 4.3 inch monitor I have perfect image. I get power from the battery and ground from the trunk. I tried taking power positive from the CD unit but it's only 6 or 7 volts I don't remember and the camera needs 12v. Can you tell me how to properly connect the wires just to check if I am doing something completely wrong? Also I did the little blue interface wiring but no change. I am waiting for a power rectifier to put just in case ...I will put a FOTO of my unit so you know. Also I seen a couple o people saying that if I have a TP button down lower side of my screen and not a VOICE it won't work. I have a TP button
  10. I have the Octavia mk3 5e 2013 model and it won't connect to rear view camera. All I get is a black screen a warning down below and adjustements of brighteness when I put in reverse. What's wrong with it?
  11. It would be wonderful if you could keep searching. I Ve been trying to set up the damn thing for over a year now. I mean on and off my work schedules . It is very weird cause when I put it in reverse I get adjustments on the screen for brighteness etc. And a warning down low to watch out as I am reversing. This means to me that the unit is trying to do something. I did the vcds coding at my mechanics . It seems that it wants to show image but for some reason it won't get signal through the RCA of the camera. I have put a small 4.3 inch monitor left to my steering wheel cause I really want to put the camera in use and I get excellent image. But I have to push an on off switch every time I want to see just to give power to the monitor. The camera has constant current and it doesn't drain at all. The whole thing has been driving me crazy for so long . So if you can keep your research I would appreciate it. On my end if I find out anything new I will keep you posted. And something I remembered about Sasha. She said that it when we do the vcds coding we are supposed to check the LOW CAMERA on the vcds screen. Which my mechanic never did. It's hard for me to find the time after work and schedule a meeting with my mechanic on a day that he is not too busy to test these things ...you understand. Anyway for me it's an ongoing project. So please help to solve this mystery. Thank you very much for taking the time to read all this. Hope to hear from you soon.
  12. I would like to ask if there is a way to connect my MIB 1 to a rear view camera although it has TP on the left side bottom of the screen. It confuses me because I did the VCDS programming and when I put it in reverse the screen goes black but it shows that it can do adjustments for brighteness etc. And at the bottom it shows the warning for backing up. Any ideas? Thank you for your time.

  13. Are you 100% sure about that? I got the TP button. I know you want to help but the news are very disheartening...have you checked with others?
  14. Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
