Multimedia upgrade from Swing

[A4NOY]

Hi is it possible to upgrade my multimedia system from a swing to a system with nav... coding etc isn't a problem..

Yes - contact @pab567 who maybe able to assist.  You will need a new MIB system and new screen for your Fabia3.

Hi all is the harness I need the one in the link ...  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-VW-MIB2-MIB2-5-video-unit-and-display-Cable-and-Screen-power-cable/174613179800?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Yes and no, that set of cables is one for the video unit (fakra blue and pink) and one with the grey connector that provides can, reset and power to the screen.

 

Then either you can modify the wiring of your car or buy a quadlock 52 pin and modify the cables there to mount the grey connector.

 

Or buy an Aliexpress cable set already made.( it seems

 

Go to my post on this retofit for more Info and contact Pab about it. He is the expert in this Fabia retrofit.

I am not finished yet, just buying the things I need, but all the knowledge comes from @pab567 you should thank him.

 

I will try to update with my next steps when I get everything I need :-)

Well that was fast. You just got everything you needed in less than a few days. :-D Maybe zou can share some of the rework you made and how you solved the screen connection cable.

 

cheers!
