OK people

Im looking to add a 12volt power socket to my octavia, in that little box next to the drivers knee, does anyone know where i can get a kit to install this and how i would go about this???

Not quite what you asked, but I found one of the cheapie switched 4-way ones from Halfords pretty good and easily mountable in an inconspicuous manner.

Yeah ive seen them, but i want to put an FM transmitter in it and never have to see it again kind a thing, if you know what i mean.

I know what you mean, and I also know that I have to retune my FM transmitter quite often as I drive about so like it or not it kind of keeps popping out to say hello.

If you want to hide it, get an ipod and hard-wire it

Will the fm transmitter be any use in essex, I know I cant use one where I am. There are so many pirate stations about that its virtually impossible to use a short range transmitter in a car and get any decent reception on the stereo. Especially so on the octavia, because the recieving aerial is at the other end of the car.

I certainly get better sound when I run the transmitter from the socket in the boot, but changing frequencies takes long arms

Cabling from the existing one in the centre console to the boot would be ideal. You can order the socket and cover direct from your dealers cheaply enough.
