Title says it all, really.

 

I'm looking at leasing a 2013 Skoda Fabia 1.6TDi on a 2 year PCP dealy. Looking at a pretty good deal

 

The car is the SE trim type though, which sadly only comes with a pretty basic radio and aux jack.

 

Ideally I'd like to stick my own head unit in but I doubt the lease company would be too happy with me doing this.

 

My friend tells me that his Citigo's Personal Infotainment Device (PID) is compatible with ALL Skodas from 2012 onwards, and that they plug in to some SCART-esque plug on top of the dashboard.

 

Question is, is this true? Will the Fabia have this? Google hasn't been much help.

 

Also, is the dealership likely to stick a PID in the car? Again, my friend says they knew nothing about the PID until they started the lease and there it was...

 

Lastly, anything else I should know about the car? Any common issues? Will be taking the car from its current 40k up to 90k, if I lease it.

I believe the answer is no you can't.

It only fits the Citigo.

Only the citigo has that plug ontop of the dash. It tells you figures about the car anyway, which the SE will tell you on the MFD dash.

Upgrade the stereo, keep the swing and put the swing back in when its time to rid the car. Theyll never know.
