Hi all,

I'm looking at passing on my Fabia to the missus as a good excuse to buy one of the MKii Octavias. I've retrofitted a iOplay bluetooth to my Fabia which I use all the time but slightly disappointingly only the SE connect has bluetooth built in and I want cruise control so the likelihood is an Elegance with some retrofits.

Now my question is there are 2 cars I've seen at my local dealer, both Elegances but one with an Amundsen nav and the other I assume is a Bolero as it has no nav. Neither have the Amundsen+ like the Blackline appears to have in the guides I've seen previously but how hard and expensive would it be to integrate bluetooth into the system that's there on both?

I'm also looking at adding DAB again to be integrated with the existing systems which I'm guessing would need a new arial making it quite expensive as I don't want to have two on the roof but if I'm wrong about that then please feel free to correct me!

My other option is to get an I30 which has bluetooth already in it or a golf match which has both however I thought the VW wasn't as nice and am still to try the Hyundai.

I do know the new ones have both too but I don't think my budget would stretch that far unfortunately!

Thanks

Dan

Only the Amundsen + has built in BT and DAB; its basically a rebranded VW RNS315/Seat Media System 2:2.

I believe to date (though this is set to change) the Octavia Blackline is the only UK car that has come with Factory DAB, not sure if any Amundsen + can be recoded to allow DAB and have a 3re party antenna connected? The unit does have built in BT, just needs coding and the VW OEM mic and loom installing. Cost me about 80 quid and its brilliant.

Do you know if bluetooth can be retrofit to an Octavia mkII, pre-fl? Thanks in advance for any help
