I've just bought a 2006 Fabia vRS which has a built-in apple connector (old style) in the glove box. I'm imagining this is some sort of factory fit kit (?) which attaches to the OEM headunit.

 

If more details are required I'll try to acess more of the system to work out what it is.

 

My question is, if it's a standard sort of kit, if there is a way to convert this to Bluetooth (or maybe AUX)? Whether this is by means of an extra box that plugs in or by adapting the existing cable.

 

Or is there another way to run Bluetooth to the stock headunit without spending a lot of money?

Hi, did you ever get an answer to this? In a similar quandary now.

Just happened to notice this and thought I'd reply in case anyone's still interested...

 

I came from Audi and one of the frustrations with the fairly-well appointed MMI 2G High setup was that it didn't do Bluetooth audio streaming; however some clever scamps worked out that if you retrofitted an AMI (Audi Music Interface) [I think analogous to Skoda MDI] and attached an iPod cable, you could buy an iPod speaker-dock Bluetooth adapter from eBay fairly inexpensively and attach that to the iPod cable; giving a fairly tidy Bluetooth streaming setup (neat connections to the car's audio system, power for the dock adapter provided by the iPod cable).

 

This is the sort of thing (I'm not recommending this one - I have no experience of it - and it may not be the right type iPod connection, but they're available pinned-out for various generations):

All the best,
