VDO Dayton MR6000 & MS5000

Higgy · 15-05-2005, 13:50

I'm about to move my VDO Dayton Navigationset (MS 5000 and MR 6000 headunit) form my Xantia to my new Octavia II Elegance.
As far as I've got I've 2 possibilities to make things run:
1. get the tachosignal from behind the speedo and stabilize this signal with a so-called API. Other signals to be found at the CAN-bus using an adapter-cable. Total costs approx. € 120,00
2. buy a so-called CBI, a complete interface for the CAN-bus that gives me ALL the signals needed directly from the CAN-bus. Effective but expensive: approx. € 217,00
Anyone of you already having experience with navi in the new Octavia II?
Please tell me your experiences!

Although my garage told me that they could deliver a double-din mask, they couldn't yesterday when delivering the car. I now have the new mask (1 din and a small hole for keeping little stuff).
Does anyone of you have a real double-din mask in his Octavia 2 ?
