Hi All,

New Octavia Owner here - looking for some advice!

My 06 Octavia has the Nexus satnav fitted. But sadly no sat-nav cd, nor any aux input (3.5mm jack) that I can find.

So my research has found a CD for ￡30, and a USB/Aux interface for around ￡80.

But is it worth it? The cheap usb interface doesnt pass id3 data, nor have any phone support. I've not looked to see what a bluetooth upgrade would be.

Or I coukd ditch the Nexus and install a Sony Double DIN unit that holds my phone for ￡160 + ￡60 for the facia/steering controls kit. My Android phone has decent enough nav these days.

What have you guys & gals done?

Any advice would be appreciated! (Also posted this in the Octavia II forum here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/370610-audio-question/)

Personally, I'd go for the "replace" option....nwer technology that's more likely to be supported

I rather think that's the route I'll be taking. Just can't justify £400+ on a columbus!

Consider Amundsen/RNS315, the right units have Nav, BT, DAB and RVC. The downside is the maps are not cheap to update.

Cant someone with the CD help with a copy? and have you checked the arm rest box under the cover for the aux in?

Hrm, I did have a peek for it, but couldn't see it. The CD will still be years out of date as IIRC they stopped them around 2008?

My CD is 2012 I think when I checked it out. I think that is the newest CD version. DVD are still being made i think
