just bought a columbus sat nav unit from a 2010 superb,now ive been told it will not fit in my new 2012 octavia as i need a new facia,is this right and can i buy the facia from my local skoda dealer,if so has anyone got the part number i need ,

Yes, all you'll need is a new plastic fascia that goes round the edge of the Columbus...shouldn't be too expensive from your local dealer. Part number should be in here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/134810-octavia-ii-useful-part-numbers/

My surround in standard black plastic was £4 something from the dealer when going from Stream MP3 to Columbus.

Was a pre-FL, but can't see why a FL would be much different.

There is one on eBay starting at £12! No thank you.

I'm afraid the silver ones are £15!

I checked with several dealers before parting with my hard earned cash. Not much you can do, other than drive around with a gap around your unit.

Didn't spot that it was a Vrs as I was on my phone at the time...

I saw one (might have been a actual metal one) for over £30 at one point (new)!

Brushed alloy effect one cost me €89 from dealers. Isn't the 2012 that black carbon effect one?

i paid £40 for silver one from dealer

Carbon is also about £40 ish.
