How to Install a 1 DIN Radio with the Skoda Fabia I Radio Dash Kit

Replacing the factory radio in your Skoda Fabia with a new 1 DIN head unit is a simple process with the right preparation. Follow these steps to ensure a successful installation:

Step 1: Remove the Factory Radio

Before you begin, disconnect the car’s battery to avoid any electrical issues. Next, use the radio removal keys included in the installation kit to unlock and safely remove the factory radio from the dashboard. Pull the radio out gently and disconnect the wiring harness and antenna cable from the back.

Step 2: Connect the Radio Adapter

Once the factory radio is removed, connect the radio adapter included in the set to the factory wiring harness. This adapter ensures that the new radio receives the correct power, speaker connections, and other necessary inputs from the vehicle.

Step 3: Install the Antenna Adapter

Depending on whether your new radio uses an ISO or DIN antenna connection, you will need to connect the appropriate antenna adapter. For ISO connectors, use the ISO plug; for DIN connectors, insert the ISO-to-DIN antenna adapter into the back of the radio.

Step 4: Fit the 1 DIN Fascia Plate

The next step is to install the 1 DIN fascia plate. This plate is designed to fit securely into the radio slot in your Skoda Fabia’s dashboard. The fascia plate has clips on the back that snap into the dashboard, ensuring a firm and stable fit.

Step 5: Mount the New Radio

Slide the new 1 DIN radio into the fascia plate and secure it using the screws provided with the radio or installation kit. Ensure that all wiring is connected properly and securely before fully inserting the radio into the dashboard.

Step 6: Test the System

Before reassembling the dashboard, reconnect the car’s battery and test the new radio. Make sure that all functions, including the radio signal, Bluetooth (if applicable), and other features, are working properly.

Step 7: Final Assembly

Once you’re satisfied that everything is functioning correctly, reattach the dashboard panels and ensure that the fascia plate and new radio are securely in place.
