Hello everyone, I found this PDF containing various modifications and adaptations for the Golf 8, and it looks like many of them also apply to the Skoda Octavia IV pre-facelift (Non-FL), based on my own testing. So far, I have only tested the adaptations that can be performed without SFD authorization. Unfortunately, I currently don't have a working method to unlock SFD. I can successfully read the Challenge Token and manually enter the Release Token, but I don't have a way to calculate/generate the corresponding Release Token. i also have some of the software releases : 1941, 1969 ,1985, 1989 If anyone can help with that part, I would also be happy to test additional adaptations and features on my Octavia IV and share the results with the community. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Codierliste Golf 8 EN.pdf

Yes, being aware that you are on your own with your research about using that tool, the knowledge of vcds apply there but some clones may have bugs, errors, or may broke your car, I did my research before buying it

I'm pretty late into the conversation but some guys on YouTube used a full DSP to flatten the sound and then feeding the signal into another amplifier also change it afterwards how they like, but it's pretty expensive ,about 600 euros the DSP

I use a vcds from AliExpress, and it works great

Then the only remaining lead is to tear down both screen and see if the screen of the bigger one has the same connector as of the smaller one

nevermind the module worked, did not fully placed the wires first time , and works perfect 🍻

It's the same module as mine, maybe it wasn't fully plugged? So the car faced a lot of error after I've installed it, and I tried to start the motor , started for 2 seconds then died, after that it would not even crank , of course after I reverted it back the car went fine, had a engine light but I just had to delete the error codes, a lot of no communication codes

The car won't start with the module🤣🤣

Purchased a few goodies for the car Engine start stop cover Auto start stop off Black emblem Will get back how the auto start stop off work 🥳

From all the research I have done it's not posibile yet on Mk4 , on Mk3 that was possible with a custom modification to the central infotainment

I just ordered from AliExpress a white led band

Had a look into the firmware of the pre-facelift, if somehow we could hack the checksum we can custom change the firmware and adapt new things

Hello here is my map of the menu 5F, i see that there are a lot of menu options that can be activated, and from my research is basically the menu in the infotainment, has anyone tried them or something? Ex. adpmap-5F-5E3-035-816-F_TMBJJ9NX2MY009396-20251006-1824.CSV

But overall very very happy with the outcome for me the total cost was Wires : 15 Euros Subwoofer and amplifier second hand : 50 Euros It totally changed the sound of the system and I'm happy with it , could go for a custom fit subwoofer but that will raise the cost with about 500 euros

My approach was everything into the trunk cause I did not know how to bring the cables under the seat, and my subwoofer is also on the trunk since I don't have a woofer enclosure that fits in the spare wheel section Splitted the wires and soldered them together under the dash

Hello did you found a way?

How does they fit ?? Do you have a photo

But still I am aware of the limitations of a clone, and I acknowledge that I won't get support from Ross Tech

Still a lot... For that money I could go to a garage and do a full ambient light retrofit with a app while getting the full car cleaned... Or do 2 full service changes to the car

For a hobbyst like me is not worth to pay 800 Euros or God know how much for a full vcds

Still I don't think this 3rd party infotaiment are off any good

Hello, did not do the upgrade myself, just found them, do you have to a Octavia 4 ? Wanna conect?

So sad to learn you can't diy your car anymore, my car has SFD 1 and even with obdeleven I don't know if I can unlock itt and the swap to vcds to do the adaptations The vcds I have is a clone one bought it with 40 Euros , but another 150 Euros for obdeleven just to unlock sfd once ?? It's a lot
