Fabia HU Swap

Featured Replies

Ok I can't take it any longer... the Skoda HU in my 06 Fabia vRS is nice (and I like not having to remove the front when I park) but I can no longer be without my iPod on the car...

So I'm going to get the facia/adapter plate whatever so I can fit my Pioneer DEH-P7700MP + iPod adapter that I took out of my old car before I sold it.

Is there anything else I'll to to get or look out for when I do the swap, like any cable adapters etc??

Oh and thanks in advance for any help/suggestions :)

I needed a wiring adapter to take the wiring from my car to my headunit (without cutting wires)... Also I bought an aerial signal booster, though I've heard it's not neccessary... despite the guy in the audio shop said I'd need it (don't regret buying it though it's doubled the stations I used to get, with far better signal too).

ok, so I'll probably need a wiring adapter... any recommendations on places to get one from?

I hardly ever listen to the radio (much prefer podcasts) so that doesn't bother me, but thanks for mentioning it :)

dsmith, PLEASE!! are you sure that you don't want anything for them? :D

No i don't want anything for them,when do you want them ?

You don't need to buy an Autoleads facia adaptor, Skoda do one of their own. The part number is on my website.

Thanx Stu... I should of said I'm planning on getting the Skoda facia adapter. :)

Very useful website btw

dsmith.. u have a PM :)

Thanks for all the replies :D

For a Pioneer you should need a wiring adaptor either, should have the required bullet connectors to swap over the perm and ignition feeds.

Aerial booster however is required as the base isnt amplified.

All installed now :D

Sounds much better.. and still only on the stock speakers.

I do miss the flush fitting Skoda unit but the change is worth it.

Thanks again to dsmithmobile!!
