Only if you change it between the cars. Same car = no coding.

I replaced mine with a similar unit last year. No problems whatsoever. Plug & play.

Replacing the OE one isn't that hard either (at least on the estate). Just pop down the headlining at the back and it's one 11 mm nut securing the antenna.

Hi, I think I may be missing the thread here but is this about the in built GPS having a wobbly. The GPS in my Fabia Monte Carlo is showing roads miles away from my actual position.

There is a trim around the raido/satnav unit in the Superb that has to be removed to reveal 4 screws holding the unit in unscrew them and the unit pulls out.

 

But on you Fabia it could be different Im sure if you internnet search it you will find out how to remove it.

 

On another note don't turn the ignition on as I had disconnected the passenger air bag light on the  trim around the radio which then put the airbag light on

got a mate to reset the light
