Octavia Mk2 Iso connector

[jaripetteri]

Does anyone know has there been some change on fuse box wires for MY06 to MY08?

I have this Skoda 1-DIN set and instructions told me to put ACC wire to SB9 but there is no wire on place 9. So I can't get any ACC there. And SB5 is already occupied which should be used on MY05 and earlier. I have MY08 TFSi Combi VRs if thats matters.

Bit complicated this...:confused: Are you all saying that there is no switched live wire on the loom/plug to the sterio that the aftermarket aerial booster can be connected to?

[VRStu]

Yep, there is no switched live in the quadlock connector.

Bugger, that'll be why my radio still sounds fuzzy!

Ok, the wire that connects to the fuse box, are these available separately? And is there an easy route to run the wire to the rear of the sterio?

Cheers...

Yes they are called repair wires. Pretty well covered here with photo's and insturctions how to fit one. Best route is over the top of the dash insert.

[S41NT]

Right, think i've got the jist of where to run it, so i find the spare switched 12v in the fuse box, for the phone etc.

Then link a repair wire, do these have a link on the end to plug straight into a fuse holder or do you have to go behind it and use one of those little connectors from halfords that tap into the wires?

The repair wires come complete with the terminal to use in a vacant position on the fuse panel.

They sound cool, I suppose you need to drop out the Fuse Box to insert?

[VRStu]

Yes you do Colm, I have posted pictures before.

Sorry, must have missed it. Didn't realise there was a "repair" cable as sure .

Ill be trying something similar soon, but Im sure I read somewhere you can use the CDC+ as a switched live? Or is that just wrong?

[VRStu]

CDC+ is the power to the CD changer so it will be low current and not really suitable for using IMHO.

True, i think this is one of the connections i tried and it was still a crap signal.

Thanks for answering all the questions VRStu.

[VRStu]

The CDC+ will be supplied via the circuits inside the Head Unit so that last thing you want to do is draw a load of current through that and blow your Head Unit up.

Finally got round to doing it today at long last. Works well. Thanks for the advice guys:thumbup:
