Hello Friends,

Last year I bought a Skoda Fabia HB3 2018; this year I asked my dealer to install SmartLink but it seems the entertainment system on it doesn't support it. 

 

I attached a photo of hardware and software version. This is what I found based on the part number:

 

Radio SKODA FABIA III (NJ3) 1.0 SKODA: 6V0035871D | B-Parts

 

Is there a better replacement for this I can buy? Can you recommend me anything?

 

 

I forgot to ask if there is any updates for its software?

Indeed, your unit does not support SmartLink. Even if you replace your Swing with MY19 Swing 6V0035871H, which supports SmartLink, I think you will not be able to have SmartLink officially activated and unfortunately I don't know anyone who can hack this unit. I can see two solutions:

1. retrofit your Swing with Bolero or Amundsen - approx. cost is 450 EUR or Bolero and 550 EUR for Amundsen

2. retrofit your Swing with aftermarket unit.

 

If you are interested in retrofitting Bolero or Amundsen pls contact me on PM.
