No problem. Sometimes you just gotta stick it in there and hope for the best

Coupe VRs It is really quite easy. Didnt have to remove anything. The only tricky part is finding pliers that are long enough to grab the thin wire once you have poked it through from the inside.

Did you manage to find a hole? I just did it to mine, to pull a wire for aftermarket stereo. I just poked a hole through the grommit near the pedals (left hand drive), with a thin stiff wire, taped the power cable to the thin wire, lathered it with dishsoap and pulled it through without any fuss

I am in the same situation. I had a quadlock harness from my old Octavia that i thought would work. So i pulled all the trim and ran all the cables, only to realize that the speakers werent connected at the headunit. But at the amplifier in the right side of the trunk. So to get the highlevel signal, current best option is this cable https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/match/adaptors-harnesses/pp-uni-2-38 Then I would need a rather expensive DSP like https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/helix/processors/dsp-pro-mk3 I am not certain, i havent had time to measure, but i think that one needs to get 8 highlevel signal into the DSP to get the entire frequency range. Since the front tweeters, mids, woofers and the subwoofer in the trunk all get discrete signals from the Canton Amp. For the time being i attached a high-low level converter to the connector for the stock subwoofer. And fed that signal into the amp for my own sub. It works, but when the headunit is turned to around 60% the signal to my amp goes silent, until i turn down the headunit under 60% again

Hi, i just finished adding amps/speakers/subwoofers to my Octavia. And the sound quality and volume are greatly improved. However there is an anoying hissing sound as soon as i turn on the radio, its there whether the engine is running or not. My powercables are run on the left side of the car, signal wires on the right. Ground is solid. Measured 0.1 ohms from the battery negative to my ground on the amp. Today i bought some Stinger 8000 RCAs and a SinusLive ground loop isolator. I ran the RCAs straight through the cabin to the amp to avoid any interference. I tried the ground loop isolator at either end of the RCAs. Neither of them changes anything. Then i found an old rusty JVC radio from a 1000 years ago, and installed that with all the same wires, and there was no hissing at all. Is the stock Bolero HU just bad? Is there another aftermarket headunit i can install to retain all the features of the stock radio? (Tyre pressure, car status, park assist and so on)
