Dealers said they get an outside firm to do the change.....?

Okay :-)

I can see the question mark... But do you have a question ? :-)

A main dealer cant do the swap?

I personally did the same swap.

A friend helped me and coded the unit.

I also got the bluetooth module installed.

Maybe skoda can do it maybe not... I guess it depend on their "skills"

ah, we are all doomed then.....

Dealers only have technicians now, parts changers, not parts fixers, they justify part swapping as more economical than paying £50/hour labour charges

 

 

then charge me for a new sump plug on an oil change but suck the oil out....

i could change it also code it as I've got vcds plus I'm local too you

It's easy to change and recode - even Halfords do it.

 

So, it's cheaper for the dealers to pay a subby to do it quick and cheap, and let their guys carry on with profitable jobs.
