I purchased an audio connectivity module (VPLME0004) on eBay, as new but it had been opened.

Thanks stan. Do you happen to have a link to any more details? I've never heard of doing that. It is just two pairs of fibre optic cables. One pair is plugged into a male adapter and the other a female to keep them nearly butted against one another. It's the female adapter that's missing... 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

That was what I was thinking but wanted someone who'd actually done something with MOST connectors to confirm. Sounds like it might just work. Thanks! 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

No worries, generally there is a little blue thing in the centre of the connector that you need to remove to get the optic leads out. |

Thanks for the advice. I managed to cludge something together using a small plastic offcut to create a channel to keep them aligned. Some double sided tape in there and wrapping it with a bit of electrical tape to keep it all together. It's working as a temporary measure until the connectors turn up at least. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate
