There’s a canbus adapter that comes with the wiring harness. This enables the steering controls to work. For example, the image below shows the harness that comes with the Pioneer touch screen unit: www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/diy-do-yourself/2689546d1732791429t-fitting-pioneer-android-stereo-skoda-superb-any-other-canbus-vag-car-skoda-superb-pioneer-stereo-27112024_3.jpg
Hi Ganesh sir, what's the engine oil capacity for 2018 vento 1.5 TDI DSG? CWXB engine type. If it's 4.3 Litres, can i topup another 300ml of liquimoly ceratec? And also I will be using liquimoly engine oil flush to drain out old oil completely. Please do respond. Thanks!!
Please use engine oil to top up. You can use Ceratec or other additives while changing the oil. Please don’t use engine oil flush unless the car was lying idle for years together without the engine being started. There is no need to use oil flush. It doesn’t help. Drain the old oil and fill new oil. That’s it. Engine oil capacity for both 1.6 and 1.5 TDI engines is 4.3 litres.
He wanted the cheapest touchscreen unit so he can use Google Maps and attend calls. For that, investing over 20k for branded units from Pioneer and Blaupunkt isn’t worth it. This one was just Rs 4500 man. Can’t beat that price. Even if this unit gives away a couple of years down the line, he can get another one and run it till he disposes off the vehicle. Different people, different requirements, different budget. There’s something in the market for everyone.
I get your point. By the way, did you retain the RCD 340 of your Polo? If I remember correctly, you had given away some parts to some people (like the OPS module to ChiranjitP). Asking the question for a friend as he's looking for an RCD 340 for his 2016 Polo comfortline and the accessory shop guys are quoting a huge amount to source one.
Good job Ganesh Bro! 👏
Thank you Ikka!
Very neat installation of the unit, Ganesh. 👍🏻
I am waiting for your GT TDI breakdown story on Team-BHP.
I have been following it since 2016.
Thanks for the reminder Paaji. Sigh, I’ve to finish that. I’ll do it man, trust me I will.
I think painting that silver part in gloss or matt black will make it look better.
These manufacturers should have provided a better trim man. The one that came with the unit sucked! 🤮
Most of the after-market trim panels for polo/vento/rapid av units have poor adaptation with the switch panel on the top. Any suggestions/solutions?
So true. We scouted a lot for a proper trim to go with the unit and didn’t get any. We left it as it is.
In case to get steering controls in units such as pioneer, Sony etc
Which type of connector or harness is required??
There’s a canbus adapter that comes with the wiring harness. This enables the steering controls to work.
For example, the image below shows the harness that comes with the Pioneer touch screen unit:

From where does the Internet is sourced to watch Netflix and Google Maps? Connected to Wi-Fi?
Yes, wifi from mobile hotspot if I'm not wrong.
That’s correct. You need to have the device connected to the WiFi hotspot of the mobile or a dongle.
can you add link for the products?

Hi gannu bhai need some help where can I talk to you
Hi, please message - 9099691369. I am at work 0800 to 1800 hours.
The owner should've gone for a branded unit as these Chinese generic touchscreens do not perform well in the long run.
He wanted the cheapest touchscreen unit so he can use Google Maps and attend calls. For that, investing over 20k for branded units from Pioneer and Blaupunkt isn’t worth it. This one was just Rs 4500 man. Can’t beat that price.
