Advice needed re: 'S' trim headunit upgrade


Recommended Posts

Can anyone advice regarding upgrading the headunit on a 2014 facelift basic 'S trim model?

 

Researching this for a friend. I don't know the car other than it has the basic headunit installed which has a CD player. I think it's similar to this one advertised on ebay:

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185913311513    Is that a Swing?

 

1: Can anyone tell me if these come with BT installed on 2014 facelift models? And does it come with an aux input and/or USB ?

 

2: I'm looking at options to upgrade the headunit to a 3rd party double DIN.

 

a: From the photos of the rear, the headunit looks to have two Fakra aerial connectors? Are both of them used - does the car have two aerials? ( used to be called diversity back in my day )

 

b:  The std block connector should be simple enough to connect to the main wiring loom, but assuming the car has audio controls on steering wheel, is there any additional adapters required?

 

c :  I see several types of facia trim plates available for the facelift Yeti but not sure what the differences are. What would be the correct / best double-DIN facia adapter to use when installing an aftermarket unit into a 2014 facelift basic 'S' trim?

 

I'm thinking that for not a lot of money, it should be simple to replace this basic headunit  with a modern one with all the bells and whistles  ( DAB, Android Auto etc )

 

Many thanks to anyone that can advise on all or any of the above.

When I did mine there was nothing available and I had to scribe cut a pair of infill panels, I did a good job but the black textured paint is beginning to fade, good to know that there are proper trims available now.

 

Mine also is manual AC so I would be interested to know which one people think is the correct one.

 

I also saw this:

Editted, a good seller with a description that makes sense, all you need to do is select the model for manual AC:
