Hi,

 

I'm picking up my monte TSI next week and I've already got the DRL's and Nightbreakers planned.

 

I'm also considering removing the standard audio and fitting a Pioneer double DIN unit (perhaps AVH-X5500BT). There's no audio installers here in Shetland but a mate has offered to do it (he's got a modified car and is a techy so he should be OK for the install). 

 

He's asked if I would need radio keys to remove the old stereo. From what I can see, its just remove plastic trim and then 4 normal torx screws. Is this correct?  If I need radio keys I'll pick them up next week at the dealer when I collect the car.

 

I'm also thinking this kit should have all the bits I need for the job (dont need steering column control harness):    http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/con-ctksk01-ctksk01-skoda-fabia-2007-radio-installation-kit.html

 

Sound about right for a non maxidot car?

 

Many thanks,

 

Stuart

 

Flick out the outer trim and 4 Torx screws and out it comes..

What Phil said. It's that easy.  Also I dont think you need that extra 'bit of kit'. As it's more/less the same as standard, providing your new one is also Double Din.

Many thanks!

 

Yup its a double din. I know I'll need the facia cover plate and ariel adaptor....
