Octavia 2014 Infortaiment unit upgrade

[octa_user]

Hello,

Apologies if this question has been asked previously.

I own a Skoda Octavia 2014 and am trying to upgrade its infotainment unit. I'm interested in knowing if it's feasible to replace it with any of the newer OEM units available on the market.

Has anyone tried such an upgrade? Or, would it be better to go for an aftermarket android unit?

Thank you.

You can update to a newer mib unit.

I see you don't have a gps. You can add a module with a fakra plug and be good to go.

I don't recommend android units as the call quality is crap.
