It says it will... but it looks the wrong shape for the MK1 Octavia.

 

Think the stereo has to be squared on the edges to fit in the MK1.

The picture shows it in a mkII, so I'm going to say no.

I have had one in my car for nearly 2 years never had any problems with the stereo although the sd card holders where rubbish and needed changed but they were only a few quid

I always fancied a Pioneer App radio:

Nearly bought one for my Cordoba.

 

It plugs into your phone and shares the apps on the screen so you can use your phone's sat nav on your stereo.

Unless you're really really bothered about keeping an OEM stereo then I wouldn't bother with that.

 

They are very outdate now! They have been around for over 10 years now so getting pretty dated.

Hi,

 

been looking for a double din solution too... something with smartphone features or at least a good compatibility because today I have a car radio but don't listen to radio or cd's, I just use the aux in and connect my smartphone to it for music  :wonder:

 

so far the parrot asteroid smart seems to be a good option

Not the cheapest but if you take into account that you can use it as a satnav as well, it becomes a good value for money.

 

Was looking at the pioneer app radio as well, you can control your smartphone with the pioneer app radio screen. It is a bit cheaper but you have to buy a bunch of cables and connectors (which would cost about 60€) and even then it seems to be hard to get it decently working with your phone, looks like a lot of hassle...

 

I've been checking out other (unknown / chinese) brands as well but reviews seem to be overall negative

 

pretty sure I'm going to go for the parrot, just going to check it out irl next week + look for a good reversing camera to connect to it (to make the misses happy)  :yes:
