With how much a new one would cost compared to mine, this one will be a keeper I think

I had to run another extension cable from the roof antenna to the radio, which was easy.

 

What type of cable did you use for the DAB?

 

It's an upgrade I'm thinking of doing, but can't fathom whether it would be the same cable type as for FM (with phantom power) or a different spec.

Hard to believe that a year has passed sinced I picked up my Vrs

My first mod for the 2nd year is

Have a Break!

Hallo Eddie.

Can you tell if this I possible to code on a 2011 facelift Octavia without any parts.

Or what do I need to do the trick?

Thanks. Great topic you have here.[emoji106]

Hi. I just retrofitted a Columbus DAB+ with 5-way sharkfin antenna. I got a DAB extension cable from Skodateile, it has FAKRA A (black) jack connectors.

you can't tell by looking at the part number

 

you can only find buy out by trying an output test

[mbirkely]

Like this?

If nothing happens in the maxidot when I press the "test" button I need new gateway with newer sw!

[Eddie-NL]

Nearly 2 years since I picked up the vRS, time for another mod

 

Headlight Washers all fitted and working, before I anyone posts "what is the point of these"

They will be required if I end up up retrofitting Xenons, which nearly came close as I bought 2x headlights, but unfortunately the Courier managed to damage them.

 

Anyway the markings are on the underside of the bumper, so I plucked up the courage to make some holes in my bumper

Nice one Ed. I need to replace one of the nozzles on mine, seems it was never there when I bought the car :(

[marekczek]

In czech xenon lights are Standard Equipment of VRS or L@k equipment.

They look really good Eddie. What was needed to fit the full TPMS and was it difficult?

[Eddie-NL]

It is 4x Tyre Valve sensors and a module with a loom.

 

Fairly easy to fit the wiring, I got the garage where I bought my wheels from to fit the valves
