I'm looking to purchase the BT box to enable Bluetooth in my Skoda octavia mk2 facelift vrs, firstly I have looked under both seats and can't seem to locate if there's one already there and where it goes if I purchase one. I've been advised I need to purchase this model number - 5k0035730d.

Where does the BT box sit and does it connect to any wires under the seat? And I assume the harness you purchase goes into the back of the bolero cd player.

OEM location is under driver's seat but mine was put behind the climate control panel. Others have them in glove box. You will need the wiring loom which provides power and connects to the back of your Bolero. If you have an OEM one from factory it's under a plastic cover which is very obvious under the driver's seat. You won't miss it if it's there!

Be wary of the quadlock and length of the loom...I'm currently trying to retro fit the loom behind a Columbus and it's proving to be a real pita.

I fitted mine under the passenger seat ran cables behind centre console when I retrofitted a Columbus, and yes it is a pita trying to fit the extra cabling/quadlock behind the head unit probably the hardest part of fitting if I'm honest

I dropped the glove box down and fitted it above that.

Far easier and to help with the cables as mentioned I found it easier to remove the side carpet part in passenger FOutwell as you can see the cables and move them to get the stereo back in

I assume that when retro fitting one needs:

 

 - BT Module

 - BT foam mount (if going under the passenger seat)

 - Additional wiring loom / harness

 - microphone (which mounts up in the centre lights?)

 

Currently mine has a parrot kit fitted, which I would like to remove just to make the dash a bit cleaner.  (plus if I use the satnav on my phone the parrot keeps thinking I am trying to voice dial someone!)

Yes those are the bits you need.

Mine is located under the passenger seat. you will find it easier to locate the quadlock if you remove the top tray/air vents. It will just pull out.

Mine's now all in and working. Been a right pita siting the box but glad it's done. Just wondering, does bluetooth also charge the phone ?

Does anyone have amy pictures of there location and where they purchased the bits from?

My parrot kit seems to be tucked in to the left of the head unit, although I suspect that is smaller than the VAG unit, so it might not fit there....

The blue box for my parrot ck3100 is about the size of two fag packets.

I mounted mine behind the glovebox
