Virtual Cockpit Octavia III

[MJKooLio]

Hi everyone, it's been some time since I last logged in... perhaps 2-3 years! But I still have my Octavia vRS Combi MY14.5 (Updated with flat bottom steering wheel and the vRS button!)

I thought to ask - as I've seen some details online in other forums.

The Virtual Cockpit for the Octavia.

OEM 5E0920790 Instrument Clusters - Virtual Cockpit Octavia 3 for 780.00 € - Instrument clusters

The part can be bought and fitted in the Octavia but a few questions...

What is a VC?

I believe you'd have to have the MIB2 Columbus upgraded to MIB2.5 spec. As I have the MIB1 Columbus it might not work

Is there anyone else interested in getting this?

My finance finishes in Oct/Nov this year after having the car for 5 years - so I'm keen to refinance and keep the Skoda with some new tweaks and updates! Perhaps adding 30-50kW in engine mods too and oh, does anyone's RS fart when they change gears like the GTI/R Golfs? I've never heard a peep out of my RS!

Yes you need an MIB2.5 and screen for Virtual Cockpit to fully function. Also need to upgrade to a 3Q0 gateway module to get all the performance data to display in the performance monitor.
Apart from a lot of coding and adaptation that needs to be set correctly, you need to handle Component Protection with dealer tools (ODIS) and also adapt the immobilizer.
