Hey guys just wondering if you could shed some light i have a 2008 skoda fabia which has the dance radio in atm i was just wondering wouldnt the more modern radio out of the facelift fabia fit in the space i have mine in just cause i like the look of that radio over the dance radio and want to make the inside of my car more modern and does anyone know how much they are from skoda ?

A stupid amount of money from skoda id imagine!

Your after the 'swing' radio by the way. Id see if theres any on ebay if i was you.

Im sure someone will be able to tell you if itll just plug in.

Yup, like Taylor says. Check on eBay. They were going for around £100 last time I saw them on there. I think the swing radio is alright. Looks pretty good and does the job.

Just a thought, why a swing? If it is a straight swap, why not an amunsden or a Columbus? Might aswel, right?

Whichever of the later model radios you fit you'll need a CANBus adapter for everything to work properly.  And unfortunately they don't start cheap (£130+)
