Hi guys

Im really struggling to get my head round these bluetooth modules and kits

I have a octavia vrs manual with a columbus HU

Being a manual it have no MFSW.

Does this mean i cant add an OEM bluetooth kit?

It has a nokia ck200 car kitted fitted atm but its awful and doesnt look as clean as id like.

You should be able to fit a OEM bluetooth kit.

 

Firstly, have you checked to see how the ck200 has been wired in? Hopefully it's a car specific adaptor than can be easily removed but there is always a chance that someone has cut wiring so I'd definitely check before ordering anything. There might be a switched live to the ck200 but that should be easy to trace and remove as it's probably a piggyback fuse.

 

You've not mentioned if your car has maxidot so I'll assume it doesn't. In which case I think the general advice is to go with either the 7P6 035 730 J (or above) or 5K0 035 730 D. These are controlled by your headunit and don't need maxidot to allow you to pair your phone.

 

If you do have maxidot then your best bet is a 3C8 035 730 D or E for the most functionality.

 

Your car will probably need coding via VCDS or similar afterwards to make sure the bluetooth module is installed properly.

Thanks for the reply langers2k

At the risk of sounding like an idiot is maxidot the screen in the middle of the clocks? Because i do have that.

We need silver to wonder along with a picture!

 

Basically there are two types of display but on the FL they look very similar when the car is off. There are a couple of images here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/231844-wanted-a-skoda-bought-one-lots-of-arguing-about-cam-belts-now-back-to-the-car/?p=2725129

 

If it shows you a picture of the car then it's maxidot, if it doesn't then it's not

Again mate you have been very helpful and yea it has got maxidot so im gunna go and order the 3C8 035 730 E and see if i can get it fitted by an auto electrician
