anyone retrofitted to an Octavia?

Saw a superb with it installed at the motorshow last year, it should be a fairly easy job. Apart from the obvious, you would need the GPS/AM/FM aerial for the roof and proberbly need to the additional wiring to connect to the headunit.

any ideas on sourcing one?

You might try a VDub/Audi dealer although it might possible have either brand on it.

I think there a pic on Manny's site of one of our Swedish brethen who has this fitted.

cool will ckeck it out..

assume you mean

Thats the site, but I dont recall having one emailed to me. I think it was on mattias's (Turbo

Sorry Manny.

Maybe it was a pic sent to here then; IIRC black RS with neons(.:confused: ).

looks good!

how big is the screen in the unit?

Possibly 5" screen.

I have a Clarion single DIN Nav613 unit in my vRS - it was transfered from my old car to the Skoda by the dealer.

The original radio unit moves down one slot and the Nav unit goes where the radio used to be!

This is because the Clarion unit is motorised and works better in the top slot (so that you dont cover up the radio controls) - on the Skoda it also avoids you banging your knuckles on the Sat Nav screen when you change gear.

Slightly O/T but have a look at the switches (ASR, demist) in the stealth mode piccie that steveredvrs has supplied. Does everyone elses switches look that perfect? Mine are all higgledy piggledy and infact don't look unlike a set of 'Billy Bob Teeth' minus the decay of course....
