dont have the software/cable thingy to do that, i would assume if i took it to VW they could do this? i would also assume i would have to bend over for the cost as well
i'm not saying mrs cherry cant park, but there's a reason her EOS was bought with sensors :grin:

Coding is really simple if you have the lead, look for some one in your area who has one and it could be done in a couple of mins. I wouldn't go to VW to code the nav as they will probably charge you ridiculous money for an easy peasy job!
I am sure someone with more knowledge will be able to sort out your parking sensors on here. :happy2:

Also to add,
Don't cut the plastic housings off. Just use an electrical screwdriver and prise them off at the base (where the lead enters the housing) and they come off easily.

cool :happy2:
tbh if its just to achieve AM radio i'm not sure if its really worth all the effort to take everything apart again? She only listens to CD's and local radio anyway, but cheers for the tip though :smiley:

so what is it exactly that needs coding? :ashamed: the sensors or something else?
cameluk:
With only one aerial connected, check that you get traffic announcements, I found with only 1 aerial attached I didn't receive them although FM was fine
Continuous beep from the parking systems, indicates a fault with the parking system either a faulty sensor or even a dirty one
Don't think you need to code the RNS for the older audio parking sensors
Oh and a far better manual is located here http://ws.skoda-auto.com/download/4all/Documentation/en/Olders/Octavia/navigation/A5_Octavia_Columbus_NavigationSystem.pdf

Don't know what you had before. Is it possible the canbus needs to be told you have satnav?

Not quite!
They are both the same. The 2 connectors are for the diverity aerials. One is rear window, the other is roof aerial. You can use either one on it's own, but the reception will not be as good.
