I’ve got a 2014 Vrs and wanted to know if it’s possible or easy to take out my audio/touch screen and replace it with an up dated model from say a 2019 octavia with the Apple /smart connect?

Possible, but... you'll need to get Component Protection removed and to get someone to re-enable the features - neither of which is possible with a normal diagnostics tool like OBD11, VCP or VCDS.

 

The experts on here are @SashaGrace and @pab567

Appreciate that.  Would a professional audio guy know what to do? Would he find it straight forward 🤔. I certainly wouldn’t do it 🙈

Unless they are experts in Skoda MIB radios then no.

As above needs CP removal and FeC reactivation, contact Pawel (Pab567) and he’ll sort you right out

Thanks for that. Cheers
