Hi

We have a 2011 Fabia (vanilla) and I can make phonecalls via bluetooth but I am unable to play music. The radio is the one with the storage tray/ previous version of the Swing Radio. Skoda confirmed that the Fabia can not play media via bluetooth.

Would anyone know what bits I need to buy so I can enable music streaming via bluetooth? Do I have to upgrade the radio as well as the bluetooth unit?

I have it on my Skoda Yeti and love it....

Thanks in advance

That sounds like a headunit we don't have in the UK, all our Fabias have always come with full double din units. If your current radio does not have a media button then it will need to be replaced.

^^^ what I'd say too... the software is probably the same, as our bluetooth versions stream music from your phone... maybe get a UK head unit, and it may work straight away ? do you have steering wheel controls and voice control? I simply press the button on the steering wheel, say music, wait for responce, then say play... then select BT-skoda on the media source...

I have the left steering wheel control and the MFD control on the right hand wiper switch.

The menu looks identical to the Yeti and the phone Bluetooth connection works the phone. It just doesn't display music as an option and the voice command for music doesn't work either.

Would buying a Swing radio fix it or do I also need to buy a different Bluetooth module?

The radio does have a media button but it doesn't work or using active.

This is it:

Not seen one of those before,

what happens when you press the media button?

Zilch. Nothing. I asked Skoda at my last service why it doesn't work and they just said that it is not a feature on this model.

Just wondering if the solution is the radio or the Bluetooth module. Or who would know?

The radio can most likely be coded to enable the media button to work, after all it has the button. Not sure what you'll get once its done, or what coding would enable it since we don't get that radio.
