Hi guys,

Got a pre-fl octavia with the stream hu. Going to be replacing it with a pioneer app radio for the features inc Bluetooth without the pretty big expense of OEM.

Anyone done similar? (Stream to aftermarket) and know which trim adapter i would need?

Thanks guys, Dale

I have also read that skoda do a genuine can-ISO block. Will my dealer be able to order this? Anyone know a part number?

Dealer double din conversion kit is around the £60 iirc. If you're not after an immaculate finish, eBay can be your friend! My single din conversion was under £20 and you'll need a piggy back fuse for a switched live from the fusebox if you don't go genuine.

there nothing special about the iso connector on the skoda kit as you still need to connect it to a switched live but the plastics are superior to aftermarket kits.

 

if you don't want the hassle of finding a switched live from the fuse box you can get a plug and play lead off ebay like this one

Thats perfect matey.... Wiring up a live wouldn't bother me, but for only £30 I wouldn't be saving anything really in doing so. [emoji106]

I'm thinking plastic weld then filler to the trim anyway and having it painted gloss black to match the rest of my trim. When fitting an aftermarket unit, I presume the unit goes in with the cage, then the trim clips on after like the OEM one?

Is your pioneer stereo single or double din?

this is what facia you need, it is one of the nicer ones, and you just re-use your existing skoda trim which covers the holes.  Although you may need a double din cage if your new stereo doesn't come with one
