Hi There!

 

I bought a Skoda Columbus head unit and a OEM Bluetooth handsfree unit. The two module was removed from a Octavia mk2 VRS FL 2010 (I removed it). I installed the devices in my pre-FL Octavia mk2 VRS 2007.

Everything works perfectly, except the lack of the track info and track controlling over bluetooth. The columbus shows only: "Bluetooth Audio", whitout any song titles, and I can't control the phone with the headunit's next/prev/pause buttons (grayed out on Columbus). 

 

It is very intersting, because this device combination worked in the previous car. Okay, it was a FL version not pre-FL.

 

Everything is coded in VCDS. I changed only two thing in Navigation coding:

- disabled BAP protocol

- disabled Skoda Sound System (it was installed in the previous FL Octavia)

 

BT module: 7P6035730D

Columbus: 3T0035680A, SW:5238

CAN gateway: 1K0907530L

 

I tried it with sereveal phones: iPhone, Android, Tablet, etc. But all is the same.

 

What could be the problem? Can there be a difference in whether one FL is another pre-FL? Or my CAN Gateway version is earlier?

 

Thanks,

Peter

I had an amundsen/rns310 in my 2011, that only showed "bluetooth audio" and no track skipping etc.
 upgrading to an RNS315 (mainly for DAB) made the track info visible and steering wheel track skip work.

I have a 3c8 (premium) bluetooth module fitted, which I didn't mess with at all, so the bluetooth module was more than capable of sending the info and receiving commands, just that the older rns310 wasn't capable of it.

but the only thing that throws me is you say it worked in the original car? It may also be a BAP thing, which pre-FL doesn't have, but that bluetooth module is a BAP only module

Yes it worked in the original car.

 

It is OK, that the bluetooth module is a "BAP only" module, but int the PHONE menu everything is working (last calls, contacts, phone name, signal strength, etc.), so I think the Columbus headunit is prepared to handle BAP and DDP telephone modules as well. But I can imagine some features are working with BAP protocoll only.

 

I will try it out with BAP switched ON in Columbus...
