Resetting CAN gateway after fitting MFD

taffiscool · 02-06-2008, 18:26

Hi,

Just wondering if you can tell me how to go about reconfiguring my CAN gateway after i install my MFD into my 04 plate Octy VRS.

How important is it that i do this and what will i need to do it as well?

Cheers!!

An 04 vrs doesn't use CAN....

Ah, not exactly...

The Octavia 1 (1U) did have multiple CAN databuses and also a Gateway but it did not use CAN for diagnostics. The Octavia 2 (1Z) was introduced in 2004, that one did use CAN for diagnostics.

taffiscool, please check digit 7 & 8 of your cars VIN and tell us which model you have.

Hi guys,

Its an Octy 1U.

Does this mean i can just fit install the MFD without having to reconfigure anything???

Cheers for all the help guys!

It should work without any modifications, but we suggest to recode the gateway anyway.

One thing you might find is that if the unit has been previously coded for a soundsystem you'll not get any sound out of the speakers until you recode the MFD. Quite un-nerving until you realise.

There is some information on the VW varient of the unit on the Ross-Tech Wiki -

VW Radio System (RNS-MFD) - Ross-Tech Wiki

It's a case of applying the code that suits your car.

Probably something like 00403 if you have a CD changer.
