Hi guys, having a problem with battery drain following a radio upgrade from the stream to a bolero. My motor is a late 2006 Octavia which had the standard stream mp3 head unit fitted. I have changed it for a Bolero unit from a 2012 car.

The head unit is working fine both the radio and the CD unit. I do have the dim light issue which goes away with a flick of the light switch however, I now have the dreaded battery drain problem. My question is, can I simply change the gateway for a newer unit, say a Q or better, without any other issues, and is it just a case of one out and one in? ( I have a new Q coded gateway ready to change )

Cheers in advance

Adrian

If you have a new or used gateway it will need coding to your car

 

do you have vcds?

and where are you in Scotland?

 

 

I was just about to buy a new vcds system as I`m having persistent connection issues, I live on the Scottish border near Berwick upon tweed. I did buy a newer can gateway but have done nothing yet except put the new head unit into the car.

Do you supply gateways that will do the job

if u already have coded gateway...just change it...plug and play...
