Can anyone help here?

Trying to install a Photbox to an Octy II, which has the Stream radio fitted.

You could find that it's a European thing. The Firmware installed in the Stream might not support a changer for some reason. Maybe it's an insurance policy European Skoda dealerships have to make sure you give up fitting your own changer and have to get them to fit the Skoda one.

That sounds like a more likely culprit to me.
