Brilliant , i have a unit fitted in my wifes Yeti , and the reception for DAB is crap , ill give this ago , thank for the info buddy

Sorry , please excuse my stupidity , if i got the fakra cable for the DAB aerial , does that mean i can get rid of that aerial that sticks on the window ?? so connecting the fakra cable it straight to the usb dongle ??

Brilliant , Thanks Nicky , ill have a look on eaby , as i wont buy anything of ALIEXPRESS , thanks

The fakra adaptor sounds interesting , what is that ?? , apart from sometimes having signal issues , the unit is great , plug and play , and easy to use

Hello I removed the original USB and fitted the USB from the new screen , fits in place ,and you wouldn't know its not OEM Driving mode shows on the screen when pressed , call quality so far has be great , no complaints

Hello all Just an update , i got the refund for the unit , they also said they would refund me the postage to return the unit ( Cost me £30 to post back to China ) but never received that , tried messaging multiple times and in the end got ignored , tried different avenues to contact Ali Express , but as the matter was classed as " complete " i could get any message across , so be aware , you may not get all your money back , in the end i was just happy to get the lump sum back for the unit . wont be using " Aliexpress" for anything else . Managed to get a Teyes CC3 unit fitted to the car , does everything i want it too and controls the cars functions as the original unit did , but will be saving my pennies to upgrade to MIB2.5 Columbus in the future . Cheers

Sorry , I ment to add , I also want to add a subwoofer ( not canton ) , I heard that the columbus unit can run a sub , would this need coding ?? Thanks

Hello . Firstly I apologise if this has been covered before . I have a 2013 Octavia with a Columbus high media unit with the 8 inch screen . I want to upgrade to the MIB2 system with android auto , I have been advised that I won't need to change the screen as it will be compatible, but have been told I'd need to upgrade the USB . Does anyone know if this is correct?? Thanks in advance Adi

I did look down the route of upgrading to an MIB 2 unit , but the price scared me , but at the same time I don't want to lose the cars functions , which is why I went for this option and unfortunately it didn't work .

Will do @Tcuk31 , I'm being told the Teyes cc3 is supposed to be a great unit , so doing some research on that 👍

Just a quick update , they have agreed to take the unit back , as it appears it is faulty after all , it has put me off the unit to be fair , so I'll be looking at replacing the entire system with an android unit , but not sure which one to go for and keep all the functions my columbus has . Wish me luck

Yes , i agree , they have asked for videos to be sent to them of the unit not working correctly , so ill send them , and hopefully send it back , but i think i may have a fight on my hands

Thanks for enquiring @papatsonis , the reason i got this unit over others was what i though the ease of fitment and the adaptability to work with the cars others functions , but without the need of additional wiring , this doesn't seem to be the case . shame , the function of android auto is brilliant , works fantastically , but a couple of niggling issues have let it down for me . never mind , back to the drawing board .

Hello Tuck31 , yes tried all options on , nothing , all options off and nothing , Aliexpress offered a free rear camera as compensation to resolve the issue , so im guessing they know this can be a problem and typically its an issue on mine 😞

Nothing displays at all , i have spoken to Aliexpress ( that was a misson lol ) and they are looking into it
