My radioscreen on my Skoda estate from 2017 is broken. From other topics I see I can replace the screen because it has no security lock. The item number of the screen is 6v0919604c. Now I have a couple of questions 

 

1. Can I also replace the model with an 6v0919604b model (instead of the c model)? These are much cheaper second hand 

2. I’m thinking about replacing the whole infotainment system for a system that also provides apple CarPlay etc. For this I have to remove the glovebox. Does anybody knows about a video how to do this? I removed some screws but it won’t come of 

 

thank you in advance!

If you have a 2017 Yeti then you almost certainly have an Amundsen or Bolero  radio unit fitted. 

To answer your question, please identify your radio. A picture would help. 

Does it have satnavs? 

Thanks for the reply. I have a Fabia 10. Tsi. It has navigation if that is what you mean with satnavs. Attached there’s a picture of the model number when it’s removed and the radio itself is similar tot this model: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196409967228?_skw=6V0919604c&itmmeta=01JCJ1HKB900HC6B9DWHCV9CPA&hash=item2dbaf2427c:g:rBkAAOSwn~VmUH6h&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkZI6dXFD1%2Fs8bKS9qTNlX7PJT1VpgfoG6uUbWxc2wP3Rn3JmbHI9jdsY%2BuPDnJMLQ2rXedNQPvWWal3699at4iIy94nmSaVrM5e8P01BSdQRdfe0nRh2n3yyKX9ESNzQ9pV4ahkYMwhRLh5dSKupEdGxPDSRauJdO7bPs8t8e59NT3JtfKCzdkChGuzqbGcQKcvP1aMsn63Cf40SjmEYn3hh0XLfDAc%2BTvGRlFnN6pfsFiR4%2FNPW1yLQsGdcASWBo%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9i1xsHkZA

Hi Tycho

Thanks for the pictures which give a positive identification of your radio/satnav unit. 

Sorry, when you said Skoda Estate, I assumed wrongly that you had a Yeti... 

 

But generally, if it's just the touch screen that's failed, they are repairable by simply replacing the touch screen front ( called the digitiser screen). There's a guy on Ebay called SIANSMOBILES who sells these screens. 

So don't give up with the one you have if that's your problem. 

Post in the Fabia forum for details of how to remove your unit. They generally come out very easily though. You'll need to get your unit out to positively identify which digitiser screen you'll need. 

I can't advise on alternative units. I don't use Apple at all, so have no idea. But replacing the digitiser will be your cheapest option. 

That sounds good! I've removed my unit, you can see it on the picture. Is it hard to remove and replace the screen? I couldn't find it on the Fabia forum. Maybe I'm not looking properly. Do you maybe have a link?

Thanks for all the help, much appreciated 

You Tube is your friend here. 

There are numerous videos of VW radio units as fitted to Skodas, Audis, and many other makes. 

Type in "VW Radio touch screen repair" and you'll find them. 

Watch the videos until you're absolutely sure of how to do the screen replacement. Then go ahead. 

I'd allow a couple of hours, work slowly and take notes as you go. 

 

I used SIANSMOBILES on Ebay for my replacement screen.
