|  Denison Icelink PLus switching headunit from Vw to Skoda! All Just recently joined the Skoda clan, defected from VW, brining with me my Denison Icelink Plus VW-IL, which i had hooked up to an RCD300 in my VW. Hooked it up to my Stream headunit, and yes all functions work, playlists etc.....only thing is the sound id awful distortion and poor vocals. Hit the Denison site, pulled down the software to clear the VW settings, then re-loaded with the Skoda/VW files, same result ....all functions, poor sound! Boooooooo! Does this mean I need to but a Gateway 100 just to get to work correctly, or is there another cunning plan out there which could save me £100?? I guess I could always ebay my Icelink Plus. Funkycat. |

 Change the densions audio ground to different position. That'll clear things up.Taken from Stu's vRs site : Pre 2007 MY Octavia wiring is as follows - Pin 1 - Not connected Pin 2 - CD changer, left and right channel, earth Pin 3 - Not connected Pin 4 - CD changer, voltage supply, terminal 30 Pin 5 - Not connected Pin 6 - CD changer, DATA OUT Pin 7 - Not connected Pin 8 - CD changer, left channel, CD/L Pin 9 - CD changer, right channel, CD/R Pin 10 - CD changer, control signal Pin 11 - CD changer, DATA IN Pin 12 - CD changer, CLOCK 2007 MY Onwards Octavia wiring is as follows - Pin 1 - Aux in left Pin 2 - Aux in earth Pin 3 - CD changer, left and right channel, earth Pin 4 - CD changer, voltage supply, terminal 30 Pin 5 - Not connected Pin 6 - CD changer, DATA OUT Pin 7 - Aux in right Pin 8 - CD changer, left channel, CD/L Pin 9 - CD changer, right channel, CD/R Pin 10 - CD changer, control signal Pin 11 - CD changer, DATA IN Pin 12 - CD changer, CLOCK As you can see, you have the cd-changer audio ground connected to the aux in ground, which doesn't offer adequate enough grounding. You need to move the pin2 to pin3 on the connector and it'll work just fine after that.

| Re: Denison Icelink PLus switching headunit from Vw to Skoda! Swap the pin from position 2 to 3 in the Dension connector. You need to pop the white CD changer plug out, then remove the black Dension inner socket from the white outer plug. Swap the cable over, then refit the white cover and the plug. Worked for me
