Been back on to the dealer; going back to Skoda for more advice. Will keep you all posted as to progress. See yeti hunter has rattles in the loan car.

It looks simple to wire - switched positive / perm negative / "feed from speedo". I had presumed it was GPS - evidently not. It does recommend fitting by an ICE / auto electrician. Think there will be a speedo feed to the headunit for GALA - but not sure if that would be suitable ?
