Also, could you share the cost of the overhead carrier and its capacity?? |
Thanks Vinay! True, its paying amazing returns!! hehe
Regarding Thule roof box, fittings and accessories you can get details in the following link
http://www.thule.com/en/br/products/...c-200-_-631250
When I purchased new, these had costed me roughly around 75 to 80K, I mean the full kit with roof bars, foot packs, one key system, etc. I am retaining the bike rack (which was sourced separately) and rest is up for grabs. I've put it up on tbhp classifieds. I have a bad habit of upgrading time after time

Abbey you can get the cost and details of every component on
www.vagtune.com. Many modules like CECM, CAN gateway etc. are shared commonly by electronic components of the car. Hence depending on what all you want to retrofit, you need to decide which modules need replacement and hence the total cost depends on that. Its hard to say how much cruise control alone or auto parking alone costed me as they all share some common modules. Best is to contact Mr.Sugesh and he can guide you with what all components you will need depending on what all retrofits you are planning. Since vagtune.com is a global site, the components are shipped directly from warehouses in CZ, HK etc. directly to your delivery address.

Thanks Sivadas! You said it!! After these mods Yeti feels like a brand new car and re-living all the excitement of owning a new car. It does kill any urge of changing your car soon.

Thanks Naveen! My Thule bike rack was sourced from UK. Thule has foot pack and roof bars which fit every kind of roof rail. Even if you don't have roof rails, they have foot packs to suit. Next to my Yeti there was an Ecosport on display in the last Pete's Super Sunday event which had Thule roof bars and bike racks. You can get details from methods automotive in Bangalore regarding this.

Why did you not opt for a 4-channel amps & components, does the Yeti come with the Skoda amp, like the laura?
Thanks in advance! |
ICE installation was done by Mr.Teny, New Metal Effect, Chennai. I have not tampered with the Skoda amp or speaker wiring. Its not a CANBUS amp. My amp. is wired independently and signal feed is from head unit's sub. out.
I am happy with the 8 channel speaker set up in yeti and did not want to add an amp to it. But to enhance the lows I added the amp. and subs.

I would be interested to know if I can get the cruise control fitted in Skoda Rapid. It would be tremendously useful as I do highway runs quite often. Also, how much it would cost me? Any idea/ pointers would be useful.
Subscribed to this thread. |
Thanks Suresh! You can get the cruise control for Skoda Rapid. Since you use it more on highways its going to be of great use to you. I enjoy the highway rides even more ever since I got it installed. Cost details would depend on what modules in your car needs up gradation for accepting the cruise control. CECM/BCM might need to be upgraded to highline. Mr.Sugesh is the person to clear your doubts. You could visit
www.vagtune.com for cost break up once he tells you what all components need replacement.
