Hello,

 

I used to have a 67 plate skoda octavia vrs estate mk3 that had Android auto etc but had the touch screen head unit. Unfortunately this car got written off.

 

But I'm going to view and possibly buy a 17 plate skoda octavia vrs estate mk3 which seems to have smartlink on the photo below but unfortunately buttons and small screen head unit.

 

Anyone know if its easy to upgrade it to the touch screen one that I has before in the 67 plate?

Would anyone know what type of unit the new car has with buttons? As my mate has 2014 vrs with button unit but bigger screen.

 

Looking for options for a touch screen if possible and if an easy transition or not?

 

Thanks

Am I correct from looking at other thread I could fit 3V0919605D as direct replacement? Which seems to possibly be what my 67 plate had.

Not sure on part numbers but that unit in the new (to you) car is an Amundsen mib2. You should be able to fit that other screen with no coding. Straight swap. The bigger screen with buttons just down one side would need a different glovebox unit.

Your mate might have a Columbus unit which should also work even if from the older mib2 system. It's the only backward compatible thing in mib world.

Thanks very much  Marky, yeah that what I've found on other threads with same headunit with the nav button I hopefully should be able to one for ome the touch screen options. Thanks for that. I'll probably be able to confirm today when I go see it ans check the number the hesdunit has? How do I check? System info?

 

Thanks

Thanks nicky, I just seen the car forgot to check the serial number on the unit but has Android auto and all that.

 

Getting it on the 9th delivered so will see then, and see about costs for the touch screen.

Unit installed in TMBKE7NE6H0160919 is 5Q0035874B - Amundsen MY17. It will work OK with MY18 display unit 5E0919605M and APP button will work as expected

Perfect thanks for that pab! Would you know costs of something like this?, for future reference at the moment. Thanks.

 

Would this be plug and play too?

300-350 GBP

Thanks very much, I assume its plug and play, one for one ? Take it new unit?

 

Cheers

P&P

just found this, had similar questions posted here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/477657-amundsen-mib2-firmware-update/page/155/#findComment-5932216

so, if I understand it right, if I have 5Q0035874B, I can buy a MY18 5E0919605M, and simply take the current unit out and plug the new one and all would work? thanks
