a2k, I missed your reverse camera question. The one installed in my car is from Autocop - the kind that goes into a hole in the rear bumper. Cost me 1,100 or so. |

I don't understand this. The connection is proprietary on both sides i.e. speaker wire and speaker. So the end of the wire has to be cut for it to be crimped and connected to the after-market speaker. At least that's what I meant by cutting. It was these: http://www.focal.com/en/car-audio/96...050750609.html |

I see a U.S store crutchfield.com selling these but they won't ship to India. http://wwv.crutchfield.com/p_1207105...s.html?tp=3097 Attachment 1346391 Pic credit: Google images Attachment 1346392 Pic credit: BHPian Chethan's ownership thread |

Starcream,, I was wondering if there was a reversing camera made by blaupunkt themselves. Also Did installation of reverse camera cause any wire cutting? Staracream, Any particular reason you did not go in for these speakers from focal which are custom made for VW by focal and also have a slightly better frequent response. My local dealer recommended these speakers citing there will be no wire cutting with these speakers. http://www.focal.com/en/dedicated-dr...ic-165-vw.html |

I came across a new gen OEM VW head unit used in the VW Sharan (Pic attached), displayed at Geneva. Looks like it can fit the current gen VW models and has additional features of the newer models i.e Proximity sensor etc. Can anyone find more info about this unit, model no. etc? please: I tried but couldn't find anything. |

I don't think this will fit the current gen. VWs in India. Among the VAG models launched in India, new Octavia has the new gen. HU. The one you shared will be able to fit in the new Octavia. It looks slightly bigger in dimension than the older HUs like RCD 510, RNS 510, etc. Edit: On observing closer, it seems to be the 2015 Amundsen (that is what Skoda calls it) HU. That should fit in all current generation VW/Skodas I guess. |

For some reason the (*) shows up on its own. To answer your questions. *about 44k with b/w *had to buy an extra usb cable (only 1 included), rear view camera and aux cable *gps receiver was part of the package *map my india comes preloaded (it lacks real time traffic info like Google maps) *a CAN accessory has to be purchased separately, costs about 50usd. *i meant DAC * it has time alignment built in, also has an auto/eq and time alignment feature, uses a mic (included) set it up, takes about 10mins. |

Yeah, I am pretty sure it would fit as If you search for 2013 Sharan interior on google, the layout is exactly the same and the cavity for the HU looks equally big. You are right its very similar to Skoda amundsen ( Skoda font sans VW font), looks like a great HU to me. Dont know how much they would cost.:) Edit: some more search reveals its the new look Bolero and Amundsen, They look the same, its just the Amundsen has Nav and bolero doesn't but both the units have moved to a 4 button design on either side. Bolero earlier had 3 buttons on either side if I am not wrong. |

That sounds pretty good. Did you also upgrade the speakers and add a woofer ? Which car do you have it on ? |

Question to the 835 users. Initially I had only one phone paired to the unit and the connection and stability were very good. Recently paired my wife's and brothers phone also. Since then I noticed that it takes a long time to recognize and connect to my phone (even when the other phones are not in range) and even frequently disconnects. Anybody else facing such an issue? |
