Fitting a Kenwood DMX-7017DABS to a MKII Fabia

Featured Replies

My fiance has fallen in love with the Android Auto headunit in my Kodiaq and starts a new job with a long commute in September. I'm looking to get her something like the Kenwood DMX-7017DABS (Halfords Page) for her 2014 Fabia but have a few questions. 

1. Will it actually fit, research indicates it should but I want to be certain? Do I need to but some form of cage for it?

2. I've seen antenna splitters for using the Skoda shark fin for both FM and DAB, is this a good idea or would a dedicated windscreen DAB antenna be a better idea?

3. I understand I'll have to run a seperate switched live to the unit, is the rest of the wiring plug and play?
4. Any good sources for replacement surrounds?

Many thanks, in advance!

Hello, I fitted a JCV DAB unit a couple of years ago. I got the wiring loom and fitting frame from Amazon. I used the stick on aerial that came with the set. You still need the old aerial as the set will switch to FM if the DAB signal fails. I couldn't get it to work so the local car audio shop ran  a power lead from the fuses to the set. With the standard Skoda speakers the improvement in sound quality was amazing. The JCV set had poor fitting instructions I guess they think you are a professional. Got details about fitting the stick on aerial from you tube.
