Is it possible to put a radio from a newer Skoda into my mk2 Octavia ? I’ve heard they aren’t backwards compatible. 

Thinking the same thing 

Would like some modern comforts..Android play and decent maps 

Hope someone can advise both of us 

It may sound strange but I kinda want to keep it looking original. All I’m wanting is to be able to play music and take calls through the car audio system without having to wire in all sorts of weird and wonderful devices 😂

If you're wanting to keep it OEM but with Android Auto and Carplay then have a look at the RCD330+.

 

I think it's what you're looking for 😁👍

Is that a third party product?

Thanks I’ll have a look at that ! What I’m trying to find out is whether the newer head units are backwards compatible as I’ve been told by a number of people that they simply won’t work at all 

It still needs to be based on the same platform. So the newest you could fit woul still have to be from a MK2 Octavia. Nothing from the the MK3 will fit.

The RCD 330plus looks good 

Would like a UK supplier 

All the eBay look like coming from China
