I want to be able to use my rcd 330 stereo in my 2009 Skoda Fabia but unfortunately it won't turn on and off with the ignition and it is draining the battery, I have found an adapter (linked below) will this work and do you know anywhere I can get this in the UK?

Many Thanks,

Have a look at old RNS315 (Amundsen+) installation posts for pre facelift fabias as they have the same problem of battery drain due to canbus. 

I fitted an older aftermarket stereo to my 09 Fabia and just used a very basic adaptor,I then used a piggy back fuse from the fuse box so that it is only powered up when IGN is 'on'.

It is not an ideal solution,on our polo 9n the radio works if the key is in the IGN (but turned off) which is much better but at least on the Fabia it means the stereo is not permanently live.

I used the Autoleads PC2-75-4 Harness adaptor with a piggy back fuse from the rear wiper fuse .

I found this one on Amazon UK

Did you get this sorted, I have just got the RCD330Plus with an adapter but when fitted to a 2010 Fabia (pre facelift) with or without the adapter the stereo won’t turn on or off with the ignition and the Bluetooth doesn’t work

Unfortunately not. I have sent it back it seems almost impossible to fit. I have even spoken to since VAG radio specialists who say it is impossible.
