Android unit maxidot advice?

[Thrice_Guy]

Are there any Android units out there that support the maxidot for the Superb MK2 Estate FL? I want it to look as OEM as possible and keep every feature working on my Elegance trim.

 

The only other option is to buy a Amundsen MIB STD, I don't know the part number but it's the one with the most features I think it ends with an E as my car has DAB, navigation. Currently have a Columbus unit in it and to be honest I'm getting tired of how slow is it.

 

Hope everyone is ok and well out there.

 

Kind regards,

Kenwood made a Skoda specific set of units, they work with the maxi dot and have an interface box apparently that comes with them. Believe it is the DNX line. It looks decent and pretty OEM.

The MIB STD is the way to go for something that looks the part. You just need to find one that’s priced reasonably and get the CP set and coding done. It’s a bit like the A-Team though you need to find someone who can offer advice or do the head unit programming for you.

Thanks for the reply Oli, I'm absolutely useless with audio equipment, tried to put an android unit in my MK1 superb years ago and gave up as I couldn't get the steering wheel controls to work on the unit.

 

I want to keep my MK2 estate until she dies, I absolutely love the car, especially as I've just popped a tuning box on her to bump the bhp from 167 up to 227.

 

That's why I was being so specific because I want all original equipment to work with the benefits of android.

 

Sorry, one more question about the Kenwood unit, can you update the android version as I don't want it to become obsolete because the android version is too old.

 

Thanks again guys and gals.

The Kenwood unit is fantastically expensive, £900+ 😳

 

I think it might be cheaper to get the highest spec Amundsen unit. I believe the one's from the facelift yeti fit the MK2 Superb facia.

They do fit fine, but you can also use units from VW's and Seats if you know someone with the skills and equipment to mod them to work with the Superb II.

This thread is basically all you need:

I've read that, waiting for a price back from the chap that mods the units

 

Thank you

I'd like to have the skoda green illumination on the unit too, I'm guessing it would be a pain in the back side to replace all of the led's in the unit?

Not a chance a tuning box has got you 227bhp. Look around, even the best remaps quote 210 as a max on the cr170.

Wow I bet you didnt mean for that to sound that rude?

[Thrice_Guy]

I didn't to be honest, apologies if it did. I can only go off the information provided by the company that sold the tuning box.

Ah, always difficult to admit when one had been suckered.

But mature to apologise and just as mature to accept it?

Quite possibly.

It's not as hard as it looks. I saw some DIY somewhere on the forum.

[Thrice_Guy]

I'm not very DIY savvy so I'd rather buy an original skoda unit with DAB, sat nav, android auto and maxidot compatible. I'd also consider an android unit if maxidot is compatible and the above items too.
