I am in the process of transferring my Nokia Car kit from my old car to the vRS.

Whilst I had the singe CD head unit out to upgrade it I noticed that there was an extra Co-Axial lead sticking out of the Wiring Loom, A quick call to my local dealer confirmed that they are less than useless as they did not have a clue (or gave a T**s), so I called Skoda Cust services. I was told by Natasha that I could not speak to the Tech Dept. as they are "Not Customer Facing".

She did however have a chat with one of them for me & gave me the following response

"Skoda UK does not approve the fitting of any Handsfree car kit whatsoever, they will not be held liable for any problems arising from the fitting & use of such items".

But the engineer did tell her that the roof antenna (if it has a spiral type wrap to the whip part) was a dual FM & GSM antenna & was already connected.

So connect the handfree kit to the spare Co-Ax & hey presto, no need for an extra Antenna !!

Saved me the job of fitting an extra one !!

PS on an earlier phone thread there was discussion regarding Blue tooth & power consumption. The battery cycle time of a phone is reduced by approx 40% when the bluetooth facility is activated. (according to Nokia)

On my Ericsson, it estimates standby/talk time of 145h/3h39m with Bluetooth off, and 45h/3h36m with it turned on!

So that's a hefty reduction in standby time, but not much

difference in talk time...maybe something to do with circuitry

that's shared when talking/Bluetoothing? :confused:
