Can someone please explain what maxidot does? Forgot to ask the dealer.

Is it worth

I wish I had got it, I have the normal compooter and it is functional but the maxidot looks better, It has all the fuel stuff on both, here is the maxi dot.

Do a search, there is tons of info on it.

Is it worth

I would not be with out it, finishes off the look of the dash. Also will be really usefull if you go for the bluetooth retro fit or even the MFD2 due to the extra fuctionallity you get.

This is probably the best Maxidot thread for pics and stuff!

I bought my car secondhand without it and will very shortly be upgrading the dashpod to one with maxidot. I think it looks better, and can do things that the normal dash cannot do. For example, adjust some of the cars settings, display radio/cd information and also display the trip computer and total mileage at the same time.

The fuel computer for both maxidot and non-maxidot has the same functions.

For the sake of

Yes!!

You'll see a couple of screen shots here - Octavia-vRS.com - OEM Integrated Bluetooth Telephone Install

They are fantastic instructions, stu, but regretfully a little beyond me. I still haven't worked out all the settings on my maxi dot. I've had it for nearly a month!

The maxidot is quite intuitive Tim, just keep working through the menu levels and you'll get the hang of it.

Thanks guys!

The dealers demo has it, so I haven't seen one without it.

I won't need blue tooth. My wife and I are both teachers who walk to work so its very much leisure only vehicle!

The better half is in rolling eye mode but I rekon even if I never use it I have wasted

For the sake of

It cost you abit more than that

Well yeah I suppose it did, quite a bit more in fact!
