My Audio Journey

Featured Replies

In an S model 2016 Octavia with absolutely no toys whatsoever. I got it with a bog standard Bolero which is efficient enough but lacks satnav, android auto and just about everything else! Thought I would try upgrading and bought and fitted a Junsun - massive mistake. Take my word for it - just don't. Barely functions as a radio and often starts up at full chat - windows (and ears) take a battering. Reception dreadful even on local stations. Phone kinda pleases itself, sometimes works, often doesn't. Android a faff, satnav unreliable, etc etc, you get the picture. Also no way of clearing dashboard messages, clock, etc as that is all done on the original Bolero. One positive - sd music works great. If I get something more suitable fitted I will take great delight in drop kicking it into the nearest skip and sod the expense.

After trying to live with it for a while I was getting more and more frustrated. Wife frequently goes medieval and mutters stuff about hammers!

I then (hopefully) had a revelation. What about a Columbus? It has everything I need and retains all the original Skoda stuff. I can almost guarantee this has been proposed before, but I can't find it. Is it a straight swap, what is required and how's it done? Sourcing, harness, coding and anytthing else I need to know. Appreciate any help. If it can't be done the Bolero is going back in and I'll just have to live with it

There's an awful lot to read in the Audio Electronics and Security section, and using the search facility in that area should dig some useful stuff up.

Does this help?:

I've got the same model year and Bolero set up. I use the free Waze navigation app. on my Android phone and attach it to the middle vents via Yosh magnetic mounts.

The app has been great and advice is always up-to-date date.
