Hi there! As many of You know, among the several retrofits I’m doing on my Karoq, there’s the screen update, from Amundsen (8 inches) to Columbus (9,2).

While the rectangular connector fits perfectly (audio works and buttons turn on), the screen remains black due (according to mechanic) to the different Fakra connectors, blue on Amundsen and Black on Columbus) as they have a small tooth in a different position (top on one, bottom on the other).

According to You/Your experience, replacing the cable can solve the problem?

Take a Cutter and cut until it will Plug 😉

You mean the small tooth? And are the inner wires in the correct order?

Did You get my DM about the datasets?

This morning I brought car to Skoda Dealer to replace the factory Amundsen screen with the Columbus one (part n. 565919606D) and factory Amundsen navigation in the glove box with the Columbus one (part n. 3V0035816K); I also replaced the cable what connect the two units.

Of course I brought with me the purchases invoices to witness the parts were regularly purchased from a wreckage shop in order to remove legally the component protection.

One hour ago Skoda contacted me saying they gave up as the screen doesn't turn on: can anybody help me saying me what else can I do?

Why 3V0035816K?

This is kamiq/Scala Not for 9,2" Screen
