Right so I was looking at getting a columbus HU to replace the Bolero one in my FL '11 Octavia VRS TDI but I've just discovered mine doesn't have MaxiDot :( ( I think the wifes VRS does though which is annoying but it was an ex forces car so they must be more clued up) My car has full leather, parking sensors, auto wipers, lights, dipping mirror, but they didn't add maxidot. :(

Does this matter?

Also having a quick scout around there's a lot more VW ones than Skoda ones about, can the splash screen be reconfigured or do I really need a Skoda one?

I assume it's the V8 mapping ones I want as well.

If I don't have maxidot will I still have to do some VCDS coding to get it all to work?

You don't need maxidot.

You can fit a VW one but you will have red backlighting instead of green.

You shouldn't have to do any coding. Mine worked straight off, i only needed VCDS to tell the maxidot it had nav which in your case isn't an issue.

Maps are loaded off a DVD so this doesn't matter either.

OK that sounds good. Shame I don't have maxi dot though. :(
