Columbus & Phone Questions!

Featured Replies

Hey guys/gals!!

I have a few questions with regards to fitting a Columbus, iPod kit and phone kit to my 56-reg Octy II vRS. At present the car has the standard HU, no Maxidot :'( , no steering wheel controls and I believe a Dension iPod connection. As my previous mk5 Golf GTi had an RNS510 I would like to fit a Columbus to the Octy but I have a few queries first:-

1) I believe the 1Z0 unit is the correct unit for the pre-FL Octy - is this correct?

2) Does anyone have the part number for the OEM iPod kit that is compatible with the Columbus?

3) I currently have an iPhone 4 - is there an OEM phone module that will allow it to sync to the Columbus?

Sorry for all the questions and any help will be much appreciated - I am a closet techno geek and my current set-up is causing me sleepless nights :giggle:

Hi,

Can't claim to be an expert here & have no info re iPhone but:

my understanding is that 1ZO units were thos originally fitted to pre-FL Octavias.

However folks seem to have later versions installed in pre-FL cars too. There are various modified SW versions available to allow newer versions of Columbus and additional functionality added by new firmware to be used in earlier cars. Opionion seems to be to go for more up to date versions of Columbus when possible.

Cheers
