Hi,

I've been researching on what to upgrade my Stream mp3 HU, to something a tad more exciting......

Through lots of trawling of the forum and on Google I have come across the Zenec NC-2010, and the Columbus/RNS-510 as my two potential choices.

I have also acquired a Maxi-dot Instrumentation Cluster, which I will be looking to fit into my 58 plate Scout in June/July - post Wedding and when Ben @ Shark Performance is able to fit it in and he is back fully fighting fit.

On my Scout I have the trip indicator stalk that is on the higher spec Ocatavia II models, so I can display the MPG/Trip computer but also have the Parking Sensors display on the Stream. I think this means I do not need the CANBUS to be upgraded for the Maxi-dot install.

Which leads me to the question about the Zenec 2010..... If I get the Zenec will I have to upgrade the CANBUS even though its a 58-plate Octavia as it is a pre face lift model? Or will the current setup be adequate to still show parking sensor information and the Maxi-dot info when it is installed?

I'll be looking to get the upgrade to the HU before I visit Shark Performance so that if there are any issues they can potentially be sorted out there......

Any info/help greatly appreciated as always.

BTW Is Ben back at Shark Performance yet working his magic? If anyone knows that would be great as I will try to get booked in asap.

Go Columbus , and oem Bluetooth, I did and its a great system. Paid £650 all in. Yes I've lost parking graphics but imo they aren't needed. The voice control more than makes up for it!

i wouldent ive had both and they both have poor sound even if you change your speekers like i did,

i would go for a after market one . i have a pioneer double din unit and it realy great,

but i expect its more a personel choice

Cheers for the info and opinions so far :-)
