Hi all

 

Just after some quick advice please.

 

I am the proud owner of a 2006 Fabia VRS, all original, drives likes new, no rust and she is very happy now the cold weather is finally here. She has been in my life for 10 years and it would take an awful lot of money for me to part with it, much to the disgust of the 3 random people that have approached for it and the Amazon driver who wants it!

I am still rocking the original radio/CD player and the aerial is knackered which means I can pick up hardly any radio stations and who the hell can be arsed with CD’s anymore! I am thinking of asking Santa for a new, cheap DAB headset with Bluetooth obvs. I would of course fit a new aerial too!

 

I’m after some cheap suggestions as to what will fit in the funny little space that won’t cost me a fortune., I don’t want to remove my own kidneys with the bass and volume, I just want some noise I can sing-a-long badly to.

 

Thanks in advance

I am in the process of getting my Fabia of the same age back to good condition.

 

Anyway, mine came with a brilliant Sony head unit that has DAB, Bluetooth and a CD slot. I have toyed with putting an original unit back in but the Sony works pretty well. It comes with its own DAB aerial which is currently hidden away in the glove box. The signal isn't great up here but even in the glove box it does get a little bit.

 

The Sony is just a normal sized single deck unit with a little trim piece required to fill in the gap above the slot. However I'm sure there will be plenty of other brands available and also there should be decent double Din units with touchscreens etc available too.

 

Hope that's helpful.

Thanks Rich. Good to know that the aerial can be hidden away like that. I'll do some more research.

 

Good luck with your project!
