Hi all,

 

I wish to firstly state that I think this site is absolutely fantastic and there is so much information about all things Skoda ! ( Often too much ).

 

I am currently waiting to take ownership of my second Skoda vehicle,  a 2012 Octavia VRS CR Estate,

 

Around 12 months ago I traded my 2010 Octavia Estate 1.6CR TDI Elegance for a BMW 320D.... biggest regret ever ! Spent the last 9 months regretting it.

 

Forgot how well built and lovely to drive a Skoda can be until I test drove my new car.

 

I notice that there a number of members who have retro fitted a number of upgrades to there vehicles and this is something that I would like to do myself.

 

The new vehicle has the following upgrades ; - 

 

Factory fitted Xenons and headlight wash

MDI

Auto Dimming Rear View mirror and Auto Rain Sensor

Alcantara Leather with red stitching

 

 

I`m looking to retrofit the bluetooth module under the drivers seat, as this looks fairly simple to do myself. ( May need a friendly helper to assist with the coding of this - anyone in the Greater Manchester Area ? )

 

I would also like to retrofit rear parking sensors with the optical parking display appearing on the head unit ( like my last vehicle ), but this looks to be quite involved.

 

In addition, I would have liked to have had MAXI dot and MFSW, but don`t know how difficult these are to fit.

 

Anyone about to fit any of the above retrofits to their vehicles please let me know, as I could volunteer my time to help, in return of gaining knowledge/experience to fit mine. ( Greater Manchester Area )

 

I welcome any suggestions on simple and best retrofits that anyone can suggest and look forward to contributing to the wonderful motoring world on Skoda !

 

 

Welcome.

 

Have a look in the mk2 Octavia section, should find everything you need to get the car how you want it.

Thanks,not looking forward to dealing with coding as it looks very complex and easy to mess things up. Will get the car and look to install bluetooth modulr first.
