Maxidot upgrade and MFSW by EDDIE-NL

Featured Replies

Hi all, I just have have to say how pleased I am with my upgrade to a Maxidot Display and Multi function steering wheel, fitted by "Eddie-NL",what a great Bloke, I must say how impressed I was with Eddies knowledge, skill and attention to detail.

I arrive at his place at 9.30 he read the info off my original cluster and had to disassemble the new "secondhand" cluster to reprogram a chip lurking well within the depths of the interior then put it all back together, he made wiring mods, made up a new loom for the Steering wheel fitted everything and reprogrammed all the new devices with his laptop, mostly led on his back in a puddle, always cheerful. A road test and everything was working well. Left about 2pm after being offed a cup of tea and a test ride in his awesome Vrs! what else could you ask for. I will try to get some pics posted.

 

Thanks Ed

 

If anyone CAN Eddie CAN

Sounds good that does! Mind me asking how much the entire lot came to? Wouldnt mind that in mine

Bought the Maxidot from ebay about £75  Ed charged £60 to install. Bought the  Multi function steering wheel from Ed for £80 plus £20 for fitting. 

Thats brilliant! Who is this guy? Haha

hi there do you know which wires eddie had to add to the loom to get the mfsw to work,, i have my mfsw now and have been reading some posts in the polo forum,, i believe there are 2 wires which are need..??

What does the multi-function wheel look like??

I would love the controls on the wheel but I really like the look and feel of the monte carlo steering wheel.

Cool. That looks better than I thought. Just needs red stitching and the new Skoda badge and it'll be perfect.

thanks Pete

Looking Good

thats superb, didnt think it would be possible, nice 1 ;)

So by doing this doesn't it bugger ur mileage up....???

I believe its transfered onto a computer and then back onto the new one?

Am i right in saying if its a used maxidot, you can only put more mileage on it? And not reduce it?

Or is that wrong?

mileage is corrected to the same value as the original regardless of it being more or less

Thats good then. Would put my options up alot, having just 7k on the car haha

Reviving an old thread I know, but where abouts are you located Eddie, would you consider doing this work on other member's vehicles?

 

I would like to have this done on my 2010 (FL) Fabia SE once I have tracked down the parts. Clearly, having the setup fitted is the most difficult part so would be more than one step ahead if I found someone who could reliably fit this.

 

Thanks

I bought a set of multi function buttons steering wheel MFL for the Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo Tech I just wonder if there anybody in BB11 postcode could do the work for me or would be better going Skoda dealership to have done if so what will be the charge from them?

As I borrow Skoda Rapid with these fitting and from that day I thought wouldn't mine be fitting on Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo Tech which I purchase last month.

Any thoughts or ideas I be grateful indeed

Regards

Brendan

Why have you just put your entire postcode on the internet?

The first part would be fine.. Or just the vague area (:

Really pleased with the work Eddie carried out for me yesterday. He swapped my 5j basic green light cluster for the maxidot cluster. It’s much better and I now have a temperature and fuel gauge compared to the standard bars for fuel and no fuel temperature. Was surprised by the electrical and technical knowledge Eddie has and can’t recommend anyone else to go to for jobs like these. Pictures speak for themselves. Also fitted me a mfsw that works with my radio aswellC4663771-BBA8-4229-AC6A-711F2912D81D.thumb.jpeg.52dc65a52d5549f636f19b3695aaa5ad.jpeg
