Imagine it would involve a couple of those tools, similar to in these videos:

Is most of the head unit in the Glovebox like on the Octavia?

 

How would you control the car functions, locking, lights options etc if you get rid of the standard head unit?

 

What head unit does it have at the moment, is it the BLUES or the SWING?

Which stereo have you ordered?

 

I know that you can get a Kenwood (I think) upgrade for the new style stereos fitted by Skoda so it is possible. Just not sure if coding etc is required to avoid errors etc.

 

Plus depending on the shape of the stereo you have bought it might need a facia?

BLUES, so there is noting to control from the radio

So it's been a little while. What are your experience with the android head unit.

Pros and Cons?

Do you still have access to the service indicator? And the illumination menu?
