Hi

Anyone got any ideas on an Alternative to Factory fitted, SatNav/DVD, for my Mk II 2006 Octavia

Love the columbus but the price seems a little pricey.

Some low ends seem amazing value, and even the Kenwoods come in at a lower price.

Hope you can give me some advice.

Many thanks

I have one fitted, it is an erosin there are lots of different versions that fit and fit like original if you get the nav surround, (about £5 from parts dept) I am in Wiltshire if you want a look some time give me a PM.

There are lots to chose from some have gerrn/red lighting so can be set to match dash lighting, mine is red only as could not find one that had the functions that I wanted that had green.

Cheers again John

Great to have your input. the units look great, almost exactly like the genuine skoda/ VW units.

Could you explain what the Nav surround is, sorry but im a bit of a novice

cheers

Hi and welcome aboard.

This is the removable bit of the dashboard round the radio/sat nav the sat nav one is slightly different to the radio one so you have to change it. It is about £5 from the dealer. If you do go down the line of getting one then give me a shout before ordering as you need to get some extra parts from them depending on which model you choose.

Regards

John

cheers John

Will be in touch.

Sorry to resurrect this old post but I am looking at the Erisin units aswell for my 2007 Skoda Octavia Sport.

Have you still got yours John? If so how has it been?

Did you have to get a canbus adaptor with it?

 

Cheers

 

Danamo - Did you ever buy one? if so how did you get on with it?

Yes and no, I sold that Octavia and bought a new one (FL) but when I sold it the unit was still working well and it was a good sales point. I have now fitted another one though a slightly different model, now have an 8" screen but still working well. You do see lots of stories about poor quality but I have had 3 of these units and all have been OK.
