Dutch brown Yeti

[Jsstelt]

Hi There! 

I will post here my project of my Yeti. 
It is a 1.2 TSI from 2010. 

 

Things and Mods I allready done:

- Mirror's Painted in Silver
- Roof Rails painted in Silver (Couln't find the original ones)

- Wheels from facelift

- Logo front and back from new facelift (Ordered from Superskoda)

- Original PDC sensors and module (Pics comming soon)
- New Steering wheel from facelift model
- New MIB navigation from facelift model (Bought from Ebay) 

- Dimming rearview mirror (The car had a rain light sensor but no dimming mirror?!)
- DAB Antenna

 

Things to do: 

 

- Activate Hill Hold (Think i need a new ABS module)
- Retrofit Alarm horn (Allready found on Ebay) 
- LED Rear lights from facelift (But without the resistors, if i will do this, i will do it like the original one with the correct Byte 18 coding).

- Powerfolding Mirrors (Found on ebay in the UK)

- Car wrap (Maybe Matte Grey). Won't do this myself

 

Will keep this posted!

More pics comming soon.

So, Update number 1

 

Today I installed the Power folding mirrors. 

 

Check my howto here:

Few weeks back I installed the new steering wheel and the MIB. 


 

The steering wheels was a bit of pain in the ass. I bought a Octavia 3 steering wheel, but the buttons were not working. You need original buttons of a Skoda yeti facelift with green lighting (I think the latest yeti has white lighting? Can anyone confirm?) Or Octavia 2 buttons. 
I bought the buttons separately on eBay.
This one I know for sure it works : 5E0919719F

 

But there are more topics about this:

You don't have to upgrade the Steering module if you had a MFSW. Only Buttons, harnas and Airbag. I like the 4 spoke more then the 3 spoke sterring wheel.

Fitted the alarm siren today. 

Here is a small how to.

Light stay’s off when opening the trunk. 

MFA shows trunk open.

Has your MIB STD2 PQ unit been patched against Components Protection?

Yes! 

Didn’t do it myself. 

Bought it on eBay unlocked. 

There is only one problem I could find. After 3 to 4 hours driving without stops, component protection comes up. After restarting the car it is gone. I have the unit for a few month now, only see it once on a long trip. 

 

Bought it here:

He has no MIB unit at the moment.

This is OK - CP timer expires, radio locks with CP and then need to be restarted to reset CP. You don;t hae to stop the car - just keep power butto pressed until the uniyt restarts with logo.

Ah ok. 

No worries then. 

Happy with the MIB, I bought it for the same price as the RNS510 is going for. 

But this device has so much more options.

few months ago I fitted the original PDC sensors. Found a set here in Holland for around €300,- including sensors, cable, speaker and PDC module. Took me around 2,5 hours to fit. 

Followd the manual I found somewhere online. 

 

Only problem I found was that the sensors were the other way around. So left was right and visa versa. 

I swapped the cables inside the connector to the pdc module.

 

The bumper has a marking on the inside of where the PDC sensor should be. That is a big advantage and save’s a lot of work.

Since I got the door modules with options for folding mirrors and puddle lights. I installed ambient lighting. 

 

I bought 4 led footwell lights on eBay. I was planning to use them on the yeti but the yeti uses the pin for the rear fog light. I build 2 of these in de door panel. 

 

 

I solderd 1 extra led on the light and use it under the door handle. 

 

To connect the lights use pin 8 on the blue connector. I solderd the negative on the brown wire. 

 

 

Activate “ambient light installed” with vcds in the door module and all works well.

Fitted front heated seats this weekend. 

 

Bought this climate control : 3T0907044CS on eBay. 

And the kufatec cable for the Octavia 2 (couldn’t find one for the yeti)

And 2 original Skoda Yeti seats with heating. (Only with some other print, mine were black). 

 

It took me around 1,5 hours to fit the cable and climate panel. 

 

I bought the Octavia kufatec cable, there is a difference in the layout. Pin 7 in the connector for the seat needs to go in pin4. Same as for the MK6 golf. 

See this diagram:

 

Here You can see the 2 connectors (the one with white cables is the kufatec. 

 

And passenger side:

Here is the pin 7 on the kufatec connector also wrong and needs to go to pin 4. (Photo is original connector on the seat). 

 

there is also a grey wire on the kufatec loom that runs from the climate panel to the fuse box, this on you don’t need (I cut it off). 

 

The seats I bought had a different print on it, so I swapped the foam cushions with heating pads with the original seats I had. This took me arround 3,5 hours for both seats. 

I is a lot of work but I can be done. 

Followd a manual here on the forum to disassemble the seats.  

 

 

If you have seats complete with heating this is a great an fast upgrade. 

Bought the cable, seats and climate panel for € 150,-
