Some q's about orginal navi, and cd changer

Superjorn · 08-09-2008, 21:32

okay...so i just bought myself a shiny skoda superb elegance 03. Can upload som pics later if anyone is interested

Anyway...the navi cd coming with the car is from 2003, and, gosh, alot have happened since then! from my home to my work im constanly off road. So i've been trying to get a hold of some new cds...but im not sure what to look for. (i believe i have the MFD D system, correct me if im wrong) A friend got a audi a6 with (what looks like to me) the exact same system. i borrowed his cd, but when i hook it up in my navi, it wont work. its loading the files allright, but when its finished it says something like: put in the correct skoda dx cd....what up with that?

second question: in the trunk i have a cd changer. it wont accept mp3 cds or even burned cds(accepts low speed burns ie. 1x - 2x -4x but no higher) again i have another friend who offers me to buy his cube dvd player. it has the same physical formfactor of my old cdchanger but different outputs. his have more like alot of mini jacs. so what i need is a map of the colorcodes coming from the head unit and back to the changer. can i use these wires, or do i have to plant new ones? video is not so important (thou it would be cool!), but sound and the aviability to control the dvd changer from the head unit is.

hope some of u guys can help me (which im sure some of u can

)

Welcome to the site

Firstly, I'm not sure on the sat nav issue but I'm aware there are other discs available from places like eBay. I'm sure one of the guys who has one of these units will be along soon.

However with regard to the DVD changer/player, I'm afraid you'll be flogging a dead horse with this. To enable a changer to operate with "alien" hardware or vice versa, 99.9% of the time you will need some kind of interface box.

The most common example of this is the Connects2 interface boxes designed to work with the Sony T-69 6-disc add-on changer. Clearly then I suspect you will struggle - I doubt there's any OE to Cube interface boxes.

The output, incidentally, will not present you problems as they tend to be twin phono - it's the control that you will have problems with.

Hope that clears it up, enjoy your Superb (but make sure you seal the pollen filter housing...

For an official Nav CD, you want the top one on this page

Blaupunkt sat nav disc

Much newer, but V. expensive.

The OEM skoda nav uses blaupunkt DX disks.

The MFD in the superb cannot play MP3 disks at all, only normal audio CDs, and only in the CD changer. The HU itself will only accept the MAP CD.

i guess i need to buy a nav cd yes, but im abit afraid of byuing the wrong disk:/ but i'll check out the link you gave me.

i did get a hold on a interference box made for my head unit wich hopefully will work. i'll keep you updated

anyway, throughout the night i found some more questions i hope you can help me with.

in the manual it says i can save the seat and mirror positions in my remotekey(!) by holding down the open door lock key on my remote key for a sec or so...cant get it to work...have i misunderstood something?

and whats up with the middle button on my remote key? i guess its for the trunk, but notething happens when i push it...

anyway; thanks for the replay, both of you, certantly helped me alot!
the pollen filter housing seal was the first thing i did when i got the car.
did some reading here before i got it

For the middle button, press and hold it for a few seconds and the trunk should pop open.

Superjorn · 09-09-2008, 19:29

wow! thank you! however, it just unlocked...wish it would actually pop open! that would have been cool
