Had the SD1 moving under its own power for first time in yonks. Fitting new callipers now means it stops - I cam move it to the front of the garage to work on the handbrake - utter PITA.

Fitted a Bluetooth gadget to the Škoda.
It replaces the CD changer but allows streaming and handsfree calling without replacing the head unit, and it's clever enough that the steering wheel controls work for skipping tracks / answering calls etc.
Škoda doesn't have phone buttons on the steering wheel, but if listening to BT audio and someone calls just press "fast forward / next track" and it answers, press "rewind / previous" to hang up.
Works with some BMW / Volvo / Mini / Rover stuff as well.
Sound quality decent and it deals with phone calls well.
Decent buy at £65 if you have a suitable car with a stereo / Nav you don't want to change.
Took about an hour to fit. 5 min to connect, the rest of the time routing wires and finding somewhere for the emulator box to live and running the mic wiring.
Emulator has mini SD card / Aux / USB options, but as I never use those I just fitted the emulator behind the head unit.

I need to do this to my Golf V6. Handy write-up. Ta!

You didn't actually post a link initially, so we were guessing.
The Škoda doesn't have an aux jack as such. This little box does add an aux, an SD, USB and Bluetooth.

More budget solutions are certainly available, it's just I wanted this to be invisible (other than the mic) and to work as close to factree as possible.
Which it does.
I've got a few of those Bluetooth radio tuner things, but this just seemed to be a nice solution.

Day of Škoda fettling.
AC now vacuum tested, regassed and working correctly.
ECUs interrogated and nothing to worry about. No engine codes or anything scary. AC code for low gas, now rectified. Faulty parking sensor identified, so I'll get one on order.
Pollen filter on order.
I reckon this thing would piss another 260k.

Never been a taxi, very well maintained, bizarrely rusty boot lid.

Pete-M got a reaction from Volksy in Shitefest '23 Confirmed 14/15th July - North Wales (again!)
I won't be able to make it as I'll be in Belgium.
I was looking forward to SF23 but unfortunately I'll have to give it a miss this year.
