jumbo box

[fikes75]

just wondering what i would need to retro fit a jumbo box,apart from the jumbo box:D ie , for aux input, air con and what ever else.

You need a new centre console as well as the armrest and a couple of other bits. If you try to order it as spares you'll feel some pain!!!

[fikes75]

Its just that there is a complete console for sale on evil bay for £134:confused:.

[fikes75]

A degree in electronics?!?!

[fikes75]

Why would i need a degree in electronics ?:eek:

[soapywalrus]

I know nothing about these things, so presume it would be very tough!

Quite prepared to admit my total and utter incompetence in all matters technical !!

[fikes75]

I hear you mate , the wiring is to the original fag lighter and door lock which are block conectors , it was just the mp3 aux and aircon i was wondering about .

As far as I can see, the jumbo box doesnt have the aux input. But does have the rearseat heating switches.

[fikes75]

Yeh seen the heater switches , but didnt notice no aux ,well spotted oh well.:(

Did you win it then - I see it went for £87 + postage ?

[fikes75]

Yes mate won at £87 - 10% redemption coupon + £35 postage =£113.30

:thumbup:Nice one - I was tempted to go for it myself, but didn't think that would be fair as you'd pointed it out.

In all honesty though, I don't really mind not having the jumbo box - leaves a nice clear space between the seats, and no that fussed having a left armrest.

Let me know how you get on fitting it. I would have thought that someone on the site would know how to retro-fit an aux lead into it.

[fikes75]

cheers bud , got it mainly for armrest and oem look. aux would be a bonus but will get round to it later , keep looking in ebay for one but then again ive been looking for ages , whats the bets i see loads of them now lol :eek: .

[VRStu]

If you want Aux, put it in at the sime time it'll save you aggro. The parts are quite cheap.

[fikes75]

Would i have to go to Skoda for aux parts or could i get them somewhere else ?:confused:

[VRStu]

Skoda is your best bet.

rearseat heating switches.

Now that's giving passengers too much

Wifey is always sitting in the back, as the frontseat is filled with son

So to give her a little comfort, her buns can be grilled too

I was just about to say this; beaten to it.

Your could always modify it and fit an Aux-in socket in the same position as the OE one.

Fitted jumbo box in about 15 mins , never bothered with aux as yet as i am away for twelve days at a time, then home for two ,so not too much time to potter around as yet. Armrest is good , had one in my last car , so when i got the vrs i realy missed not having one ,sorry it took a while to post but will update if i ever get round to fitting aux.

Presume by the fact it only took 15 mins that it was quite straightforward to change ?
