Cheers, guys. Switched the red and yellow cables and looks good now. Still haven't got the antenna booster, but the radio seems to work fine. You think I can get even more stations with a booster?

What does this thing do? And, so I disconnect the wire from the brown thing in the last picture, and connect it to this? Is it a ground? Sorry if I sound clueless, but wiring is not my forte. By the way, I'm in Germany. The eBay link says this is for cars that have a European end on their inline amps, but I'm in Europe anyway. Plus, the radio is fine.

Oh really? Like, in the last picture? Ok I'll give it a shot.

Ok here are the photos. The gap below the unit is visible here: This is the connector from the antenna: This is the antenna connector in the unit: This is the adapter I got and it fits fine. The question is, is this the right one (amplified/not amplified?): This is the connector for for the loom: And these two are pictures of the loom. I read the wires might need to be switched? Do I need to get another type?

Ok, so I pushed and shoved, and eventually it went in. Not sure I can pull the stereo out with the keys anymore, though. I have to take out the little cubby below to get the whole thing out. What a pain. The gap between the unit and the cubby below is now wider, as if the cubby is being pushed from above. I guess I can live with that. More importantly, the unit keeps asking me to set it up every time I turn off and turn on the car. The bluetooth connection with my phone doesn't disappear. Just this initial set up. I don't understand it. It's as iff a part of the radio memory is erased, but not the other. Any ideas? Photos to follow, but I wonder if you could tell me whether one of these would be necessary. I know I need a little strip at the top to complete the scene, but there are also bigger offerings: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Radioblende-Adapterkabel-BLENDE-ADAPTER-SKODA-Fabia-6Y-6109-0025-/300858281566?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item460c8d0e5e http://www.ebay.de/itm/Radioblende-Skoda-Fabia-6Y-12-1999-07-2004-/400927405897?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item5d5922b749 http://www.ebay.de/itm/DIN-Radio-Einbau-Komplettset-Skoda-Fabia-Typ-6Y-Facelift-ab-2003-schwarz-/281516599619?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item418bb26943 http://www.ebay.de/itm/RADIOEINBAUSET-SKODA-Fabia-6Y-Radioblende-Radio-Anschlusskabel-Antennen-Adapter-/370996934972?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item566123f93c

Cheers. I'll give it a shot today. Seems it OUGHT to fit. Will Update.

Hi guys, I posted in an old thread, but since this is active, I will also take my chances here. I appreciate your help. Got a 2006 Fabia, and I removed the Symphony unit to put in a Pioneer DEH-X5700BT. Great reviews. However, the little frame in which it comes, that is removable, doesn't fit. I have to shove the unit into the slot without this frame, but then it doesn't stay put. I don't know how to secure it in place. The unit is also as deep as the Symphony, but it's hard to get it in all the way as the cables keep getting in the way. I'm thinking of switching it for the one without a CD player, as it's half as deep. Finally, the main cables fit fine with the adapter that was included. Only issue is the antenna cable is female, and the connector on the stereo is too, so I need an adapter? Any idea what it's called? Thanks for your help.
