Fitting reversing sensors

Followers

3 October, 200817 yr

Am soon to get a new vRS TFSI. Its a 'stock' spec and doesn't have reversing sensors fitted from the factory.

Anyone got any thoughts on the dealer-fit sensors (cosmetics, functionality)?. Alternatively I could fit the Meta Targa type (fit each side of the number plate frame) - the issue here would be taking a +12V feed which goes live when reverse is engaged. I know the Octavia electronics are quite complex - is it possible to take a feed straight from the light circuit or would I need a relay to switch a feed from elsewhere?

Thanks.

Pretty easy really - see here: http://briskoda.net/octavia-ii/octy-ii-vrs-reverse-sensor-positions/87350/2/#30

First time starting a project thread, bear with me... Heard about this Roomster not too far from me that might be heading for a scrapyard, and decided to try to acquire it. That went well and it came to my place this last weekend. Early 2012, 1.2 TSI, 5sp manual, 158k miles on the clock. This is it, just after being washed. Paintwork is far from pristine, but that's not something I care much about. I'd looked up the spec via the reg plate before seeing pics of the car, so there were one or t

Columbus RNS510 firmware update

Local dealership said it would cost £300 to upgrade my maps and suggested that there are better options them then for this! After lots of online research I decided to update the firmware from H4120 to 5274. I have the zipped file RNS_510_FW_5274_update.iso and have burned this to a DVD at lowest speed. When I put the DVD in the unit (no keys in iginition) it whirs around and then after 20-30 seconds comes back with a CD/DVD error. The unit will play a normal music

Scala SE L 2024 Infotainment unit updates

NigelR99 · Tuesday at 13:563 days

For the past few weeks my Skoda Scala Infotainment unit has been prompting me to do updates. Almost everyday I get the prompt to do an update. I only get the one prompt in a day. I believe the procedure is to park, accept the update, turn off the ignition, exit the car and lock it. I think some updates only apply when you next start the car. Searching the web suggested several different ways to get the updates to "Action" A couple of days ago I discovered that notifications may show what is goin
