I tried for quite some time with various tools. I’m not sure it’s possible.

Hi Octy 4 owners... Looking to possibly add midrange speakers to my setup in my Octavia 4 (running a Match DSP m5.4, with Focal PS165FE at the moment). Has anyone got any good pictures of either the midrange fitment in the door card, or the canton speakers that would fit there? I can't seem to find anything sensible for the Octavia 4 online. Also, has anyone run a power cable from the battery on a RHD? Any pictures or hints as to how best to run it from the engine bay backwards would be much appreciated.

Good on you for trying - this is my worry, that it all seems to be a bit of a black box! Do any of the other presets work? Interesting that you’re getting a lot of cancelling frequencies. I’ve got my HU going into an ATF Match M5.4, which I can do a raw out into the RCAs. If I have a moment, and can psych myself up to running the VCTool presets on it (really worried about not getting it back to something workable, but if something is flat that’s fine…) I’ll do a REW analyser export of a handful of them. If there are any specific ones people are looking to try (beyond 14) let me know.

Hmm its odd that they allow you to write an arbitrary set of 10, but don't say what they mean / do. Is it possible to pull any of these down, and use the MIB sound dataset editor on them? It all feels a bit too undefined for me to try and push one in the hope that it works. It sure as anything wouldn't read the dataset for me from my 2024 Octavia, so I'd be really hesitant to have it try and write.

This is interesting @petrbazant - I spent ages either VCTool, different ELM adapters, DoIP etc trying to get the dataset import export to work on a 2024 (pre FL) Octavia 4. Did you end up having to do anything specific that made it work? I didn’t think it was possible. Are the VCTool parameters the same as datasets? Have you had any luck with the datasets themselves or just the parameters? Hoping to find a flat dataset. Does the tool indicate which dataset is currently active?

I can probably dig mine out although it may be very different as different speakers. How did you route your battery cable @TommiH ?

Ahh thanks - LHD or RHD and do you have a pic or a rough location where the hole was?

How did you route the power for the sub?

I believe rockbox will display as mass storage which the car should read - although at that stage you may as well just put it on a cheap USB stick and save the cycles on the ageing iPods battery.

Is the unit a physical fit? I guess with the older OI you aren’t able to go back to home / menu?

I believe it’s available from EKTA (sort of - not as a cohesive pinout - as PIN numbers!). It’s not printed on the device sadly. If it’s speaker wires you’re after, they’re thankfully fairly obvious as the same as other generations. Having made a loom first time round, I’d highly recommend just buying an iso harness and using that.

@Ayeshen I’ve never been able to find the right model / train on mib helper. Someone on this thread had uploaded the ZIP around.

That’s really neat. Wish my pre-FL did this.

I’d expect that from an RS4 - it’s got 2x the HP at similar weight! My 3.0 TDI Quattro (at slightly more HP than the Octy would never break free, even on a launch.

I think unfortunately it’s all part of the VAG “brand engineering” - to slightly cripple the same hardware as you go down the lines. Seems like a waste to me.
