Hi all

I'm thinking of a radio upgrade for my Octavia vRS 2006

There's a link below to the unit i have in mind

Has anyone got one fitted? Does anyone know anything about them? Good or bad idea?

Guessing this is one of those cheapie Chinese units with a fascia designed to match the dash?

Dunno, maybe your right if there are such things about.

Their £300 on ebay with a years warrenty ...maybe not such a good idea then

Seen a few of them in mates cars, don't look as nice as the Columbus IMO bit too much going on on the screens. Second hand boleros are cheaper and the Columbus ain't that much dearer.

Yeah thats what i'm starting to think now after an hour or so trawling through this site and ebay. Columbus is the real deal but £400 +

What are Boleros?

Bolero is the standard fit, 6 cd changer ( front load ) sd card slot for music and mp3 . Touchscreen same as Columbus but no satnav...... Just so happens I'm flogging one on eBay lol

Remember that on an 06 car you will need to change the CAN gateway as well.(If you go for a Bolero at least)

I've heard about this CAN gateway thing. Roughly what is it and how much does it cost?
