Greetings...

 

I'd like to replace the Swing unit in my Mrs 2014 Yeti S... looking at buying the next level up (Bolero?) off eBay, used.

Anyone knows if, by any luck, its a straight-forward plug & play swap!? Or, for any reason, its a headache or will not work at all?

 

The current system has bluetooth for calls only... I'd like it to play music off Spotify too!

 

Thanks...   

Couple of points.

 

Only buy from a proven and dependable source on Ebay, as others have reported problems with units bought from there. Can you prove it wasn't stolen?

 

Any unit is going to need re-coding to your car, since they are coded to a specific car at the factory. Therefore you will need someone with access to the VCDS system.

We did this recently to our Octavia (Swing ->Bolero). The Bolero was ex Yeti.

It was a plug and play swap. No VCDS required.

You'll require the PIN for the Bolero. Only needs to be input once.

 

Bluetooth streaming is great!

 

Cheers
