@pab567is the man you need

I may have a spare screen for cheap if that turns out to be the issue

Morning, does anyone have an update for this unit? Thanks 😊

That'd be lovely thank you! I'll have to have a read through your thread now and work out what I need for the camera

Ah I don't mind really. I think the last time I signed in I couldn't remember my password so just clicked on the Facebook link, which obviously just created me a new account! If anything @john999boy did me a favour, now I only have to remember one @SashaGrace would you recommend the rear camera upgrade, was it much of a faff? I've actually managed to lose the rear indicator display when I swapped the radio over (something I forgot to check before saying no need for a recode to Pawel - my fault) and i'm thinking this might be a good excuse to fix it!

That's me btw.. apparently I have 2 accounts?

Bloody hell Sasha... those are some amazing mods you've done recently. I think the rear cam is my next project... that should stop me doing the virtual cockpit one, for a while anyway Great job, as always!

I fitted the LED number plate lights last night, though I couldn't seem to get them to dim down.. might have to check the coding again tonight. It's that time of the year to start playing with lights again!

Excellent, my other half will be happy. She's been lamenting that I've been able to use waze/gmaps for ages and she was stuck with Apple maps Shame about the A5 camera, hope you get a solution to that one eventually...

Yep fitted as standard so I don't have to do any mods (thankfully!). The puddle lights look pretty cool but I don't think they serve much purpose when stationary

That'll be the mirror downlight boarding light. Mine lights up when I lock/unlock the car. http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-original-Skoda-mirror-downlight-boarding-light-LEFT

I haven't sold my old gear yet so admittedly if I do, that would bring the cost down too. Sasha is still way ahead anyway due to her free CP removal

If you keep your eyes open for deals online and ask around your local breaker yards then you can go cheaper than that. My upgrade was : MIB2 head unit + card - £150 columbus screen - £200 (I really wanted the bigger screen so was willing to pay extra) CP removal - £100 Other software enabling - £185 (200 euro) So actually more like £635. Probably could have got it down lower if i'd been less picky about a screen! Admittedly I already had the GPS kit so that wasn't required on top.

Just a heed of warning using Car Equipment, I attempted to order a screen from them twice but they didn't have the stock (despite the website saying otherwise) and took a while to let me know and refund me. I wasted about 2 months trying to get one from them before giving up and going down the ebay/breakers route. They are nice people and respond to emails - eventually - but it's obviously a fairly small operation.. I suspect the language barrier/response times is the reason for a bad rap. Just something to be wary of if you plan on sourcing it through them.

I've been looking at this unit as well, how did you get on?
