GUIDE: Retro fitting OEM Bluetooth

[DanGB]

Dan can you quote me the part number of the cluster you bought?

Also, is there any reason that I couldn't use a 2.0 TFSI FR cluster in my Sport?

1P0920941X

Not sure of what the results would be if you fitted a FR one.

 

[chrisash32]

how much was the new cluster?

I want to do this in my Altea... i cant imagine it is much different!

 

[DanGB]

should be very simarlar.

cluster was around £500 unfortunately. Cluster isnt essential though.

 

[chrisash32]

what extra features does it give you once its in other than the bluetooth screen?

 

[DanGB]

just the screen

I've done the Retrofit today.

Thanks very much to DanGB and VRStu for their help and making it possible.

One thing. It took me nearly an HOUR to get the roof light unit out and knocked my rear view mirror out in the process

After the fact I found this article that shows you how to do it in seconds

All I've got to do now is work out how to put the rear view mirror back

Thanks to Bill (Badger 5) I've got it coded in but .... she insists in speaking to me in German. Now that's sort of okay because I speak German too but she doesn't understand my thick Yorkshire accented German.

She is okay with my 0-6 but 7 is a no-no!

We checked the softcoding and it is DEFINATELY set to 422.

Any ideas?

Also mute = Voice Control is the only button working - the OK button on the right hand stalk doesn't pick up calls.

 

[VRStu]

Have you checked the coding in 17 Instruments to make sure it's UK?

Nope - Neither Bill or I thought to look in there. Wouldn't this setting be in evidence elsewhere?

[edit] Just thought my max. speed setting on the dash reads in mph.

One further piece of (inane) info ....

My company SPV M3100 mobile PDA phone identifies the kit as "UHV". However, my wife's personal mobile, an SPV c500 runing WM6 standard, picked up the name "Skoda_UHV" .... one of the adaptions Stu?

 

[VRStu]

I have noticed that some phones report Skoda_UHV and others UHV but I don't know of any reason why or way to change it.

 

[DanGB]

Stu, you gave me the code to change it to Seat UHV, i'll see if I can find it.

 

[VRStu]

Yeah that was for the 8P units I'm not sure it works on the 1Z. Certainly worth a try though.

 

[DanGB]

ahh is this a newer bluetooth module?

Mine's still obstinately stuck in German Voice Control and won't pick-up using any of the car controls.

When I collect my (wife's!) new Altea XL I intend to read out its settings and figure out how it differs from what I've got.

 

[VRStu]

Don't understand that at all Darrell. Have you tried removing the power for a few mins?

 

[darrellr]

Worth a bash.

[Edit] Disconnected the under-seat box for a minute or so and then reconnected. No joy. Still german.

Have disconnected again and will try later / tomorrow morning.

10 hours later .... still German

Looking in my guide, ive set it to 422, rather than 522 in stu's guide. That might be the skoda/seat change.

You dont have access to vag-com do you?

It is currently set to 422 and announces itself as Skoda_UHV. We tried to set it to '522' but VAG-COM wouldn't do it.

I should have access to someone with VAG-COM again at the weekend.
