Skoda Yeti MY15 Amundsen media radio to get GPS operating in Australia

There is no "P" button on climate control. There are 5 black buttons under the climate control with the fifth one having the symbol of 'slippery' and OFF on it. Do you have a picture of the "P" to help me here. I was told subsequently that in lieu of front parking this car may have had the metallic paint option.

MY15 does have front parking sensors and you can check this by the "P" button under the climate controls. This has to be pressed when going foward (up to 10kph IIRC) to activate the sensors but is automatic in reverse. Mine is a MY14 with MY15 specs as per the chart.

There is no "P" button on the row of 5 black buttons under the climate control system. The dealer says that the metallic paint may have been provided in lieu of the front parking sensors! Again there is this inconsistency of brochure info and actual car build.

Search dude! Search!

There should be 4 round sensors on the front bumper as well.

I read somewhere that a few Skodas came in with equipment missing and prior to delivery, I went through the brochure with the sales guy to see if they were there and to have the functions explained. There was nothing MIA.

In my car, there are no front parking sensors. I was advised that the metallic paint was the option in lieu of the front parking sensors!

Hi I just bought an ex-dealer MY15 4 x 4 Outdoor Yeti with Amundsen and am also trying to get maps for the GPS - someone has told me (rather mysteriously) that there's a place in Qld (Gold Coast) that can do it unofficially, they specialise in Skoda GPSes - maybe GPS generally. Anyone know anything about this? Just a cryptic indication will do.....

Have been following your discussion on FB, so you found your way here where I noticed it. Looks like they used the Amundsen for the camera facility but didn't actually advertise it for Sat Nav, to get that they fit the Columbus. So it is entirely possible there are no maps for it as Skoda only used the Columbus in Oz and they only sort out maps for it. You would think the VW maps would be the same though and they tend to use the cheaper Amundsen in a lot of models.

One more twist on this saga - I got an address in the Sunshine Coast which could send me an SD card with Australian maps for my MY15 Yeti. I contacted them, they quoted me $499 for maps to over-write the European maps I have on my system. In a series of emails they offered me the maps at 350, plus a 250 deposit for the SD card which I would have to return to them. Then they sent me an invoice for 599 (plus 250 deposit), saying the 350 was a mistake! They refuse to be held to their offer of 350 - in my experience in retail, a seller is obliged to keep to his offer...... so, buyer beware, for anyone buying Skoda parts/accessories from this lot.

Yeah but in this case the seller is someone selling you something not legal. It's like calling out a drug dealer for changing the price when you meet up.
