Hi 

 

which is the easiest/connection to upgrade this radio for using DAB / google maps & waze 

 

I have full steering wheel controls also

 

stock or aftermarket is fine 

 

 

also currently the initial sound during a bluetooth call seems to crackle is this the headunit or speakers? 

 

thanks in advance 

 

 

 

 

There's a few threads in the How To section - one by me HERE for example where I switched my Swing for a Columbus. Another one HERE too. 

 

Generally the easiest route is to go with another Skoda HU like a Columbus / Amundsen as you would retain your Maxidot and steering wheel controls without any more wiring looms. However these options don't have Apple CarPlay / Android Auto so if those are important i.e. for Google Maps / Waze then you have to go aftermarket. There's some threads on here where members have done this so they can share their experiences. 

thanks
