Never mind, amateur mistake, never noticed it doesn't have the cutout for the radar :( Can admin delete please

Anyone know if these are interchangeable? I'm going looking at the alloys this evening for my superb, just spotted the nice black grill on their website now. also any other nice bits on the vrs models i should pick up as I'm there??

also would love this

@SashaGrace i second this. would love to do this and maybe a VC to my 2016 mk3. but dont know here to start with parts, or finding if in need a diff bcm ect.

So basically after the panic wore off i started to think logically. If none of my fuses were blown, go after what supplies the fuses, the relays. so a few relay swaps later i got my dash back, car started and drove. i didn't mind paying the 40 quid for the Skoda diagnostics, at least then i knew that i hadn't done any further damage. All in all a learning experience that i didn't want or need, but got anyways. ever days a school day. @SkudMissile21 was looking at OBD11 alright. its a toss up between that now and vcds.

Ok so I solved it. After re checking all fuses today, I decided to go after the relays. The 645 relay in the inner fuse board was blown somehow...(was most likely me hitting something off the body while removing the gps kit) Went to the local Skoda garage, no stock. Rang local VW garage, €24 + Vat each. So off to the scrappy I went, got 3 relays from a 2019 wrecked Octavia for a fiver. Popped these in and bobs your uncle, dash sprung back to life. So after all this the dash was like an Xmas tree, and my Delphi is only a Chinese clone,wouldn't clear the faults. So off to the local Skoda garage again to give them 40 quid for a diagnostic reset. All's right as rain again. I'd like to thank everyone for their help and input into my problem. On a side note, is vcds worth the $$. Seeing as my Delphi can't keep up any more, time to upgrade my kit.

No joy on the battery disconnect. 🤬

Ok I'll give it an hour just incase 🤣 am yeah I've tryed the spare. And both keys have new battery's in them. Both reading 3v. Can't move it out of P unfortunately

@xmanHmm, I'll ring the number on the gps module tomorrow and ask them what's normally fitted to their vehicles. Maybe they can point me in the right direction. @UndertheRadar how long would you suggest for the battery disconnect??

Would a remote immobilizer be standard in a fleet vehicle??

@xman Battery voltage 12.1 Fuse 16,17,18 all have 12v each side of the fuse. Taken fuses out and checked continuity (meter). Fitted new fuses. @UndertheRadar I'll do a battery disconnect now.

So the 645 relay in the top right of the engine bay fuse board pic comes on when you open the door, powering on the bank of fuses beside it. It then goes off 10 seconds later. Should this relay be powered the whole time for ignition??

So all my fuses are sound. Are there any fusible links or such supplying the PCM either inside or outside in the engine bay??

These are getting Jo power in the interior board

Checked fuses there with a meter. Looks like a huge block of them aren't getting power. Fuse board in the engine compartment is shown below. The area circled in red has no power. Items listed in the fuse catalog include ECU, rad fan and ignition relay.
