[Tdi dsg VRS Remap.]

Hi all, I have come from a petrol turbo and am looking for some advice about getting my vrs remapped. The car has around 45k miles on a 2015 plate, as it states in the title I have a dsg box. So there any evidence to say that you souls have the gearbox mapped as well. 
 

Thanks.

The SubWoofer has a built in amp.

Would you still have the links to the items you fitted?

I've replaced the door speakers with JBL's and fitted a Pioneer SubWoofer under the front passenger seat; the sound is now crisp and clear and the SubWoofer adds depth (and bass when required).

I am not great with audio will an amp need to be fitted to do this?

Yes - I would recommend that everyone enables Skoda Surround on their MIB system (enable Virtual Base and Skoda Surround).  It can be enabled for Bolaro, Amunsden and Columbus systems.  Offically supported on SOP3.x (0363 recommended) and SOP 4.x (0478 recommended).  Go and find somebody who had VCDS locally to you or get ODBEleven Pro and get them to enable the following:

Skoda Surround settings are: Module 5F, Byte 11 and change to Hex 04

 

Once enabled, go to Sound (via either Radio or Media), Settings and enable Virtual Base and Skoda Surround - and then stand-back and wonder why Skoda didn't enable it from the off!

So I have an oDBEleven now but I seem to be able to select the 

byte_11_ it’s normally set to sound_system_internal 

 

I try to set it to 

 

Sound_system_internal_individual but it will not save or I do not know how to save it. 
 

Any advice would be a appreciated. 👍

So you have MIB1 Bolero with DAB model number 5E0035842A.

Yeah as far as I can tell, how much am I looking to upgrade to a better head unit with Apple car play?

Thanks in advance. 

[Wanting to add reversing camera]

I have a 2015 octavia, has anyone got a link for a reversing camera that they could recommend. 

[Looking for some advice.]

Hi, looking for some advice. I have a 2015 octavia vrs which I am looking to add a reversing camera, maybe not OEM but one that does the job. 
 

I am also wanting to upgrade the sound system as the original speakers are woeful. If any one has any recommendations for either I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Im sure I looked at that one myself a week or so ago. Couldn’t remember if it was DSG or Manual as I have viewed so many recently.

It's a very nice motor, the full skoda servicing helped sell it to me, I know you can have problems with the DSG box if its not looked after. 

The mrs has a A3 auto with the same engine and box so the skoda was a no brainer, plus its cheaper and a little bigger for work.

Off topic, Was it the Race Blue Manual VRS you bought out of curiosity? Done around 40000 Miles? 

I haven't picked it up yet but its a race blue DSG Octavia I am sure it had 42k on the clock.

Yeah Pawel will help. He's the guru and can supply a coded unit and screen. 

 

A 2015 diesel vrs will likely have either a bolero or Amundsen system. Both being mib1. As yours doesn't have satnav it's probably bolero. There are some go between boxes that are activated by holding the media button and that may be am option for you. A mate did this recently with his a3 and said it works fine.

I have found an image of the head unit you can see it below. 

what do you mean by go between boxes I feel like I am asking a stupid question here? 

How much are we talking to supply a coded unit? 

[Vrs 2015 looking to swap out the stereo]

@MarkyG82I haven’t picked up the car yet so I am unsure of what the actual unit that is installed is. I have had a look at past posts but I am a little lost by it. 
Is @pab567 the guy to speak to when I get the car? 

[Vrs 2015 looking to swap out the stereo]

Hi, looking for some advice. I travel a fair bit for work but have brought a 2015 diesel octavia vrs with pretty low miles. From Rainworth Skoda Sheffield. 
I am wanting to upgrade the infotainment system I have seen that most Vags can use the RCD 330 head unit. I am unable to find much info if I will be able to use that in my octavia. 
my main reasoning is that the car doesn’t have a sat nav so Apple car play would come in clutch here, along with being able to play pod casts and such. 
I am not wanting to spend too much on the car in this capacity. Also any ideas on speaker upgrades would be appreciated. 👍
