Hi everyone ,

My columbus decided to freeze about two weeks ago and after contacting Marlborough Skoda west london it was booked in to see what was up they assesed that it was beyond repair and possibly a hard drive issue and ordered another unit under warranty for me and installed it , now the problem the mfd display used to say on the return button presses once

mfd

phone

audio

navigation

assistance

setup

I think it was in this order but they seem unfamilier with this and when i returned it to them they really could not get what i was talking about when i refered to the navigation function display with arrows etc showing direction on the mfd , this is missing so is the audio tab which used to be there all i have now is

mfd

phone

assistance

setup

Can any kind soul take a picture of there mfd display and the navigation direction arrow which appears in the mfd please so i can print it out and give it to them when it goes back tomorrow

Thanks

Peter

No need just see page 23 of your manual:

Looks like they have forgot to activate it on the CAN gateway as i didn't get it when i fitted mine until i ticked the NAV check box in VCDS.

Oops just realised you have a Yeti - same rules apply, just a different manual!

In theory it shouldn't need re-coding as it was already set up, but hey, we are talking about computers here (and a Skoda )

It will probably need recoding as if my memory is correct as a unique canbus identifier is required for each unit (like a MAC address on a piece of network hardware) if this isn't registered the canbus will not recognise it correctly.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for your help it went to skoda west london today and came out with all it's original functions thank goodness the machine had to be paired into the ecu fully as it was only half done so well done marlborough for handling my columbus warranty claim well , not bad after nearly two years a stereo and a dpf sensor is all i've had a issue with both resolved by marlborough under warranty.
