FAQ
Škoda Fabia car radio: questions people ask.
Answers for Fabia owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppWhich Fabia does the screen kit fit?
The kit in the shop is for the Mk3 from 2014 to 2019, and the same family of units covers the rest of the Mk3 run to 2021 and the Mk2 from 2007 to 2014 with a different fascia. Trim, factory amplifier and the shape of the dash opening changed over the years, so send the reg and a photo of the dash and we confirm the exact kit before you book.
How much does car radio cost on a Škoda Fabia?
It depends on the generation. 5J (2007–2014): from €290; NJ (2014–2021): from €290. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Škoda Fabia years can have car radio?
5J, built 2007–2014 (Blues, Dance or Swing CD radio; Bolero or Amundsen on higher trims after the 2010 facelift): Android screen with a Fabia fascia and a plug-in harness; steering-wheel buttons kept through a CAN interface, DAB and a camera input built in. NJ, built 2014–2021 (MIB1 Swing, Bolero or Amundsen; SmartLink (CarPlay and Android Auto) optional on Bolero and Amundsen from around 2016; MIB2 units from the 2018 facelift): 10-inch Android screen in place of the Swing, Bolero or Amundsen with a model-specific fascia, the kit we fit on 2014 to 2019 cars; steering-wheel buttons and the climate panel unchanged.
How long does car radio take on a Škoda Fabia?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the Škoda Fabia 5J and NJ. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit car radio on a Škoda Fabia?
On every Fabia we work on — 5J and NJ — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.

Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (5J and NJ) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
