Kenwood DNX520VBT Nav/BT headunit - Skoda Approved

Featured Replies

For sale is a Kenwood DNX520VBT.

This headunit is shaped like a Columbus and therefore fits into any Columbus shaped hole on an Octavia 2, Superb, Yeti, Fabia and Roomster.

It offers Parrot Bluetooth, iPod control, Navigation DVD, TV (with optional box), rear camera input, USB, pre-outs and more!

Maps on board are 2010 I think, but I will supply 2012/2013 maps on Micro SD card with the unit. Latest firmware installed and lifetime TMC on the unit.

It is in mint condition, with box, manual, looms to plug and play on most modern Skodas and also VW/Seat, GPS aerial and new BT microphone.

Can be seen working before you buy (it's out of the car right now).
