Skoda MFD3 Trinax - My thoughts **Warning Lots of Pictures**

[VRStu]

Some of you have already noted that I have managed to get my hands on one of these little babies so I thought it only fair to give you all the low down.

Firstly, the price - Lets just say it was 4 figures and bought in a moment of madness!! :eek:

Some specs -

6.5" 16:9 TFT Touchscreen

DVD Movie Playback with Dolby DTS sound

30GB Internal HD storage

SD/MMC Slot (4gb Max)

2D/3D Mapping

DVD & MP3 Disk supported

MP3 and WMA files

I love the unit, the sound it kicks out is better than the Bose 321GS system I have in the living room. You could try and tell me all day long that the Skoda OEM speakers are naff and I'm sorry I'd just have to laugh at you.

The touch screen is easy to use and the menus are sensible and easy to navigate.

Here are a few pics of the unit for you -

For sale - soon - MFD2 and 06/07 and 08 disk :thumbup: + VAG Phatnoise MP3 system

Looks ok I suppose.

Nobody believed me when I said it was rubbish in the other thread!! :eek:

[Babs]

you sir, have a questionable taste in music

but the unit looks fantastic! what's the navigation like?

[SimonJ]

That looks very nice indeed!

[VRSPhil]

Want one!

[SimonJ]

Tempted to change my car so I can have one too!

[VRStu]

but the unit looks fantastic! what's the navigation like?

I'd love to be able to tell you but Royal Mail have my Navigation Disk.

[Harry_vRS]

That looks ridiculously good

[VRStu]

I think the worst part is the ID3 tags - I really hate that

[redbaron]

nice to see VAG catching up.. can this be ordered in "new" cars now?

[VRStu]

I think it will debut in the new Superb Paul.

Like you say it's nice to see Skoda keeping up with the Jones's. VW offer it in the Touran and Tiguan I think.

[redbaron]

hmmmm tiguan looks more attractive day by day....

[Hedge]

It will be very interesting to see if and when the Skoda ones start to appear on Ebay. All the ones currently available are VW units.

[VRStu]

I'm sure they will Ian but at the moment they are all, including VW, fetching a premium due to their lack of availability

[CHRIS ELLIS]

You couldn't resist show off:P .I want one:D

[mluton]

Thats a nice piece of kit.

[Makefish]

It's alright I suppose

[sms]

So it comes with all disks apart from the UK:rolleyes:

Does the VW Touran one fit and work ????

Anyone got a MFD2 going cheap

[dstev2000]

As and when the Skoda ones become available I will be opting for one of those without a doubt. There is a VW one on ebay right now for £1150, that's still cheaper than the factory fit MFD2. Don't fancy the red/blue colours and the VW splash would pee me off over time.

Talking of fitting, I presume the MFD3 is the same affair as the MFD2 as in connect the quadlock, a little bit of VAG-COM coding and job done??

Another thought - Does it do the climatronic and PDC graphics like the Stream/Audience units?

[gadgetman]

you sir, have a questionable taste in music

Seconded!

Still, you like F1 Stu, and have good taste in your motor, so we'll let you off
