Hey Subodh, Many congratulations!!!! But you have left us all high and dry. Please let us know what brand HU it is? And how much did it cost? Also the cost of all the other components. Did you do any damping? Please give me contact of the dealer for that HU? I'm going to ICE my Polo this weekend and want to finalize soon. |

Finally! The much awaited ICE from your car. It looks fantastic. The perfect flush fit, the giant touchscreen, the uncompromised OEM look, specially with the red back-lit buttons at night, the excellent UI(looks better than the Witson), its just a delight to look at . This is not the Witson evidently. The buttons are different on the Witson. Though it looks exactly the same. The screen seems bigger here or is it just my perception? 1. Have you installed any GPS software and have you tested it? -GPS not yet installed. not looking forward to install as I have 4 cars in house and using mapmy India becomes convenient to switch from one car to another 2. Have you tested the IPOD and are you able to control album arts? Swanand answered this question for me :) 3. Does it pair seamlessly with the fone on bluetooth and does it read off the address book as well? It pairs seamlessly but unfortunately cant read the address book 4. Could you please share the details a) cost : The HU comes in range of 30k b) brand name : As told by dealer is Motivo (but could not find anything online regarding it) c) most importantly the name of the dealer and the phone number/email id? PM me and i will give you the numbers. I have checked with him and hes willing to send the units out of pune if he has them in stock. 5. Do you think he would be able to procure it and send it across to another city? Sorry I asked too many questions, but looking at the work of art in your car, I am hell bent on getting one for mine too and I cant contain the excitement. |

@Ventolute has said everything I wanted to say. So just copied his words. And add "congratulations" Hey need to check this out in person sometime. Dont be too surprised if you see a familiar face waiting infront of your apartment soon!! One thought struck me, installing components at the rear is very rare. How do you feel that it has helped in enhancing the audio quality. |

Thanks @subodh- it looks fab. Is there anything you particularly like or dislike about the HU? Admittedly it looks the most OEM of all the ones we've seen so far in Ventos on TBHP. @ventolute- not so fast, mate! To elicit all those details from subodh you need to meet him after work someday, spend some quality time, treat him to some chilled beverages etc. Then he may start sharing some details :uncontrol. Just getting him to post this thread was like pulling teeth :D |

@subodh Hi!! congratulations for the new stereo. It looks really good and i am sure it sounds awesome as well. I own a skoda laura ambiente and even though the sound quality of the stereo is very good but the display unit is very simple. So if you can share the details of your installer it would be awesome as volkswagen supplies most of the skoda parts.. |

1. As far as I know, he is yet to install GPS. On the lookout of one though. 2. Had tried my wife's iPhone in it once, albiet for a short time, works like a charm. 3. Fone connectivity is seamless and sound quality is superb. Since Subodh's work makes him travel quite a lot (and I mean QUITE A LOT), most of the times he talks to us through the Bluetooth connectivity. Being on the other side of the call, I can vouch that the quality is as good as speaking on the phone itself. 5. I do know the dealer as well, and can say that he would have no issues in sending it to another city as well. Varunsonu, even I have the same car (Skoda Laura Ambiente) and face the same issue that you do. The HU is something even I am on the lookout for. Basically i need something like the one in Laura L&K. I have checked with the dealer and he did mention, that he could do something on this. To be honest, havent really got time to go back to him and check on this. Shall update you as i get some details. @Subodh: Sorry for taking over this thread and answering questions on your behalf. Its just that i log on more than you do (read as I have more spare time than you :D ), and I was present at the time of installation (Hence took the liberty). |

Hi Swanand. Thank you for replying to my questions. Subodh had mentioned earlier that work keeps him totally occupied and he hardly finds time. So , I am glad that you can take over as you were present right there. Could you also share with us 1) Cost of the Hu install 2) Brand 3) Details of the installer(name/fone/email) . It would be of immense help to a lot of us here .please: |

Noopster and swanand had a big role to play in me putting up this review. Noop chilled beverages are welcome anytime. When do we get together for the same? |

Also, please share the contact details for the dealer. I have misplaced his number (Sorry for not replying to your posts - Ventolute and Frontosa). For the sake of others too. I do not think that would be a problem. |

You're welcome. Swanand and I may get together one of these days after work, but you are travelling all the time so don't blame me :D I think it's Bhandari Auto. This seems to be the website with contact details. Subodh has a personal contact there that you may want to leverage- PM him and all the best lol: |

Hey First of all thank you guys. This brand "Motevo" , I faintly remember having read somewhere. Someone had researched on it. I am unsure but I think it was chetanBG.It seems to have a similar drawback as the Witson(unable to read address book) . But as they say -No pain ,no gain ! At this price,I guess compromises can be made on that front. As for the weblink of Motevo this is probably it Motevo | All-in-1 In-dash Double Din Multimedia Navigation System and this seems to be the VW specific one Motevo | Products | Current Product Range So it seems like it is actually Witson's brother from China! |

Skoda UK Skoda Bolero Radio/CD Unit - 1Z0035156F it has mostly everything accept navigation. @subodh hey!! as i am a newbie here i don't have PM privileges so if you can mail (varunsonu@gmail.com) me the details of you supplier i would be greatfull.. thanks |
