Well now I look dumb! Thats what I get for posting late at night from my phone! Thats good to know on the resale. I've got a few bits on eBay currently that are the spares from my upgrades but they don't seem to be selling, even though I have undercut all the breaker's prices! Will be listing the screen and the trim piece too.

Looking at eBay items it looks like it’s part number dependant and the difference between std and high. Both 8 inch screens that look the same 3v0919606 - black plug - high https://ebay.io/m/mzqBAe Looks the same as 3v0919605a - blue plug - std https://ebay.io/m/YnuE5m So looks like mine will be black plug. I was just assuming by how the screen and buttons looked. Didn’t realise there were 2 different part numbers that looked the same from the front!

I saw a post on another thread saying that when the 0334 update completed the shop came back.

Ok great thanks. Glad I’ve not bought an incorrect part!

The screen is on its way. Looking at photos it looks to have a different plug. Assuming part numbers and looking at eBay listings it looks like my current 8” screen has the blue plug and the 9.2” has the black plug. I saw on a golf forum about shaving down a bit of the existing plug so it fits. Is that correct, It’s not listed in @JR RS guide.

Ah ok I didn’t realise.

True. I don’t have infotainment online so I do it manually. And there are a few local DAB stations I listen to that don’t seem to put out their logo so I add my own.

You can add those manually. If you find an image of what you want and put onto a stick plugged into the usb port or onto an sd card if you have a slot

Ours is still on 302. Got update notification just now and pressed update but nothing happened again. Checked an hour later and still on 302

Thanks for the tip. I have various good quality SD cards but they are all micro ones that I use with an adaptor, it seems to have been ok for maps updates, but as this is crucial I am going to buy a new full size San Disk one from Amazon. I am the same thinking about it, 99% of the time I use Carplay and the steering wheel controls so I dont think I will notice it too much hopefully!

Thanks. I really shouldn't look on ebay. Found a screen unit with a tiny scratch at an absolute bargain price.... so it looks like I'm going ahead with this after all!

I am due a bonus next month and seriously considering this upgrade. For those that have changed how do you find not having physical buttons? Is the improvements to the screen worth it? My wife’s kodiaq has MIB3 and I’m less keen on the touchscreen buttons. It’s quite a big cost if I’m not going to like it!

Keep getting the update repeats on the wife’s kodiaq. Hopefully they will get a proper update soon too

The link for the exact one I got is dead but I think this is the newer version of it. https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex5BdpG

I read on here before about updating the firmware on the ottocast to correct some issues. No idea how that’s done. My Ali express one connects within a few seconds and auto plays from where you left off. It’s been plugged in permanently for nearly a year and had no issues whatsoever.

I would guess you need someone with odis to ensure it’s got the right dataset. For control modules I’ve found trying to buy second hand one from as near identical vehicle as possible spec/ model wise is most likely to succeed.

MOT today. 5 years old and 48,000 miles. No issues at all.

Hi. I have the cheapest one I could find on AliExpress and it has literally worked flawlessly since the day I got it. https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex5BdpG

You should be able to check the individual bytes/bits in your long coding using car scanner based on the vcds info above.

I can’t help with this issue directly I’m afraid. But I use carscanner too and have found the coding history to be a bit hit and miss. A good tip is to take screen shots of the standard code before changing anything then you have a record of what it was when you started. What were you trying to code originally that lost the animation?

I Have sent you a DM

Welcome to the forum. A very nice looking car. Almost identical mileage to mine currently. With the radio stations, tune to the station you want and then press and hold on one of the big square presets in the row along the middle of the screen until it beeps. This will then be saved. If the logo doesn’t save automatically these can be uploaded from an SD card.

Yup. All working spot on.

I’m ok with it. I know there’s no tension on the wires, it’s insulated and it’s reversible.

Today’s task was to add LED lights to the back doors in place of the reflectors. Using information from this post. Lights - https://a.aliexpress.com/_EjjRwBg Wiring - https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzQJ6DU Small Posi taps - https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIUKgwe Large posi taps - https://amzn.eu/d/00FkY8MK Tapped into red and white/ brown and yellow wires using posi taps and tidied up with cloth tape. They project “Superb” onto the floor the same as the front ones. Note - it’s always worth having some spare door trim clips on hand as they seem to be a sacrificial part! https://vehicleclips.co.uk/products/door-card-trim-moulding-clip-with-rubber-seal-skoda-5j0867276
