MFD2 is IN...............

[dstev2000]

.........But minus the plastic trim

I'll be picking a plain one up from the dealer tomorrow but the silver one is on back order at the factory so it's a case of how long is a piece of string.........

Here are a few pics thus far as I know a few people are curious.

[Makefish]

Oooh, I think Iv'e just wet myself , I want one of these soo bad!. Where did you get this from if you don't mind me asking?.

[dstev2000]

ebay

But I did my homework and it all came good.

[VRStu]

Yeah but to get the full look you'll need to get Maxi Dot first Steve!! May as well order Xenon's while your at it. :rofl: :P

Looks nice, any issues with the Nav CD? Is it up to date?

[Makefish]

ebay

But I did my homework and it all came good.

I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. Did you fit it yourself, if so was it an easy job?.

[dstev2000]

TBH the Nav CD is not the latest version (2004) but I am getting the latest one next month AFTER pay day

And you cant watch a video AUX input while the car is moving and I doubt it can be fudged to make it work (and it's illegal)

[bengie]

does it do dvd? mp3? wma? films?

just wondering like

[Goochie]

Looks very nice indeed !

[bengie]

the watching things on the move thing is down to a cable connected to the hand brake, if this cable were to get earthed by mistake the unit may work at all times. possibly.

It took time for the right one to appear and when you spot one you need to be damned careful you aren't going to be stiched up with a duffer.

Do your homework before you commit!!!

Just type in Skoda MDF2 on ebay and see what appears.

yup on MFD1 you just ground the GALA pulse cable for the same effect.

Ah right, my old JVC KD-AVX1 headunit did that, a wire chafed and the DVD worked on the move, really odd...............

For show purposes obviously

I thought the screen interlock would have been more complicated than that.

Looks very smart even minus the trim.

Been looking for quite a while now. Out of interest how much did you pay and to which country? PM me if you are shy.

Any piccies of the GPS aerial?

[130bhp]

Is this what you'd get if you ordered SatNav with the car?

[dstev2000]

Yep, thats what you get if you tick the box on the order form.

re the GPS aerial, I need to order a proper roof mounted one but in the meantime I have a magnetic one thats sitting quite nicely on the metal windscreen demister grille.

[130bhp]

That's a really nice bit of kit!

Hi Guys

Here is a couple of photos of the Silver trim around the MFD2 that I fitted in my Octy 2 4x4.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding features/function or fitting.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

[Hedge]

Nice one. Was that a factory fit or DIY?

The reason I ask is that I don't see the aerial (or I'm really rubbish at I spy).

[VRStu]

The aerial can be the same as the normal roof mount one.

[BadMike]

When I fitted my MFD 1 to my Octy I put a cheapo magnetic GPS aerial from ebay under the dash, as long as it's not under metal (and not upside down) it works fine.

I was planing to buy the same navigation system but it turned up that it doesn't play mp3 files, so i went for Audience and Tom Tom Go navigation. Works well for me, although it doesn't look so fancy!

[hobnob]

Looks really good, is that what the Maxi dot display is? I was interested in a maxi dot but not too bothered about sat nav?

Also do you know if there is anywhere in the UK you can buy / have one fitted as I am not confident enought buying one from Ebay and trying to fit it?

[EddyH]

I bought my OEM satnav from here: SatNav Systems

A little pricier than some on ebay but comes with 3 months warranty and service was very good. They also offer iPod adaptors etc..

The plug and play I was supplied with also included a switch to disable the Gala signal to allow the aux in video to work whilst the car is moving.

[Neo_VR]

Looks good..

How does it sound quality-wise in relation to the stream/audience?

the mp3 thing is a bit poor tho :(
