Columbus Upgrade

Featured Replies

Hi all

 

I am wanting to upgrade the Columbus head unit in my 2012 Superb.

 

I know that I can get an Android head unit from Xtrons/Ebay but I was wondering what genuine Skoda head units will fit with Sat Nav, DAB etc.

 

Thanks for your help and advice in advance

The RNS-510 style Columbus is the 'best' headunit that would have been originally fitted to that generation of Superb. There are versions with and without DAB :)

 

The only 'better' genuine headunit that would meet your requirements is the MIB STD2 PQ style Amundsen as fitted to later (2015+) Yeti's.

- 5L0025680A supports satnav, dab and mirrorlink

- 5L0025680C or 5L0025680E support satnav, dab and smartlink (Android Auto and CarPlay)

 

You would need to deal with component protection and get all functionality unlocked, then you'll need a quadlock adaptor and USB wiring kit (for mirrorlink/smartlink). That being said, they are a much better headunit than the aging RNS-510 style Columbus in my opinion.

 

Just depends what you want to add and how much you're looking to spend :)
