hiya guys,

eBay.ie: VW MFD Sat Nav GPS Polo Passat Sharan GREEN Ilumination (item 250179831624 end time 03-Nov-07 18:23:46 GMT)

cheers,

That looks like a Skoda unit with VW software.

Yes it should work ok AFAIK.

Its a VW unit with VW software ,passats were available with green and blue illumination at different times .

Ahhh - Every day is a skool day

If you do fit this unit then you will however loose your steering wheel controls and any information that the radio displays in the dash but I am unsure if you have these on the classic model?

i have a classic with steering wheel controls and maxidot display (mine's the facelifted one)

i know i'd probably loose the steering wheel controls if i get it.

any chance of getting the Skoda software installed. Or perhaps the opening screen changed?

i've not heard of version AB..... any problems with this version?

I know some HU has some connectors that allows the steering remotes to be used....wonder if these work for this unit...

also noticed that the Pioneer AVIC-D3BT looks like a good unit besides the MFD.....hmmm..

I have found software to update a vw a to b, and vw software to update vw d to g

but have never found any skoda software ,the skoda a unit seems to match a vw b unit

and the skoda b unit a vw d unit (its missing the "predictive text" function of the vw g) .

To restore the steering wheel controls and maxidot you may need the traffic information box this interfaces from the mfd to the can bus .

there is a german website where someone has a programme to change the startup splash screen ,add your own voice but at the moment I cannot find the link to the site

Das Navi+ Projekt im Web

"found it edit"

the only other thing that a vw unit does is points you to vw garages not skoda ones .

so i could get one with blue illumination for my octy then?

hmmmm, interesting!!! Anyone tried this??? If it works I'll get an MFD :P

I have heard this but not heard of anyone having done it and the cost of the parts needed makes it a waste of money IMHO....

the passats with blue or green illumination are the same era as the octy 1 and the MFD1

I dont know about the later cars with the MFD2 which I think your car needs

just wondering, where can i get the maps for the MFD?

all MFDs sold on ebay seem to come with maps of europe, can i get maps of other countries?

Yes you can get quite a lot of maps.

Th ones you want are Blaupunkt DX maps.

i can't seem to find Blaupunkt DX maps for Singapore and Malaysia..... the Blaupunkt Singapore webbie doesn't even have sat nav units.....darn!
