Hi to All

Just about to take possession of a new MY12 Yeti 77dsi auto. in Adelaide, Australia. We've been looking for a while to replace our X-Trail, which my wife finds a bit big and cumbersome to drive. We were impressed with the nimble feet of the Yeti. And let's be honest, the price was good. Anyway, I started with thoughts of fitting a reverse mirror to protect our grandkids, and that lead to a suggestion on another forum of a new head unit (ors has the Swing radio). What are the thoughts of others here about getting hold of a used Columbus unit, or a brand name alternative, and getting an electrician to link it to a reversing camera? I can see units like this online, which are supposed to be compatible.

Many people have retro fitted a Columbus head unit. It is very easy, but it needs to be coded to the car once fitted. VCDS is required by Ross Tech. Not sure if anybody in Oz has it. Dealer might help, but the would prefer to supply and install!!!

In the words of a politician best-forgotten here, "Please explain". What is VCDS and Ross Tech?

Physically fitting the Columbus is easy, but to get everything it does to work with the car properly, it needs to be programmed. Check out the Ice security and Insurance section on. Briskoda.

There is a separate section on Briskoda for VCDS. Take a look around. It is the same as fitting to an Octavia or a Superb.

In the UK there are many people who might be able to help, but I haven't looked to see if there is anybody where you are.
