Hi All,

 

To stave off the inevitable 'search, you muppet'....I have but none of the threads / answers quite hit the mark

 

I've ordered the DNS-610 from iceboxautos [http://www.iceboxauto.com/skoda-octavia-yeti-fabia-dns610], my questions are:

 

It's replacing the factory fit Bolero in a FL 2011 VRs estate as per the topic title, my questions are:

 

1. Will it require any additional coding for the MFD (I think it should be plug and play....'ish)

 

2. I've looked here [http://www.skodaparts.com/product/octavia-navigation-trim-2008-2013-50212] at the fascias as I'm not sure if the DNS is a different size....but it looks like the same shape for the DNS HU, does this look like the correct fit (assuming that the Bolero one doesn't fit back in)

 

3. I've read that the GPS AE can be situated behind the central air vents, is that still the case?

 

4. Anything else to be aware of?

 

Thanks for any comments, helpful or otherwise

 

Graham

 

 

Is this the next-gen upgrade of the ANS series units - Looks like it?

 

I can't help you with the MFD, as my ANS-620 doesn't interact correctly with the CAN gateway in my pre-FL car. I've been told the FL models don't have this issue, but don't quote me. Still works fine, though.

 

There appears to be 2 shapes of Bolero (the Swing type facia and the Colombus type facia). Your links appear to be for the latter.

 

Yes, you can wrap the GPS antenna around the vents. I think it needs to be in contact with the metalwork, though. That's where mine is located.

 

I'd request your unit be shipped with the latest stable firmware. What's the maximum supported SD media size, too?

Thanks for the answers dude.

 

There's a fairly lengthy thread over on one of the VW forums where this is dissected in detail but y, I think it is the successor to the ANS, not quite cutting edge but good enough for me at the moment

 

After looking at the two types it looks like I have the swing type, guess I'll see when the HU turns up and I fit it

 

Good call on the FW, I've emailed and requested this and the max SD card size but as long as it's >1Gb I'll be happy
