Phatbox Fitting

Featured Replies

I've got one of these (20gb MP3 music jukebox for those who aren't aware) coming. Anyone got one in a Fabia yet?

I don't have a changer there at the moment, and I can't see that there's preparation for one, cable-wise, although I'll just run the supplied cable from there to the back of the headunit (down the side under the carpet then up round the back of the glovebox??)

Just wondering about mounting really - it comes with mounting brackets apparently, but will I need anything from Skoda to get it sitting securely? Does the optional CD changer actually mount to the seat subframe :confused:

Any advice would be great, even if it's just how a standard changer fixes under there...

Anyone at all? Come on - someone must have retro-fitted even a CD changer to our favourite little Skoda? :)

A mate has a phatnoise box in his TT. That was ordered with a changer though, specifically to avoid problems. Lift out shoebox, fit phatbox.

I have a changer in my vRS. It fixed to the front underside of the seat and moves as the seat moves. I've not seen fit to faff around pulling wires yet.

Thanks - helpful info :thumbup:

How do you load the CD cartridge then - I presume you don't have the passenger seat front storage box? I understand that's swapped to the driver's seat on Fabias with the changer specified?

What seat front storage box? :confused: . I'll have to go and have a look now :) .

Changer is facing forwards from the seat. Slide cover back, insert magazine, it whirs a bit; that's more or less it.

I was hoping to put an amp. under the driver's seat.

I think if you take the changer option the storage box is fitted to the driver's seat instead. I think I should be able to swap the box over from passenger to driver seat when I come to fit it. Could you possibly get some pictures of your changer installed under the passenger seat? Would be much appreciated :thumbup:
