How to install an Android Car Multimedia Player (Head Unit or Stereo) on Skoda Rapid 

Hi Lu, I have this stereo for 1.5 year and it's okay. For me, the ram is 2GB and the rom is 32GB. For sure, 4GB of ram would be better if the Android is customized properly.

You are right. The antenna is placed on a plate over the head unit. You can attach that to the windscreen or any other place. You should check the signal with GPS Test app to find the best place. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find a head unit for this car with bigger screen AND physic buttons due to the limited available space. There is a trade off between these two parameters.

Hi, The head unit has some pins for connecting steering wheel control. Also, there is a steering wheel control setting in the menu, but I never tried that personally, since my car has no steering wheel keys.

In the following link, there is an image with the Head Unit dimensions. If the dimensions matches your car, you can use this model. However, you should double check the cable assembly as well. www.aliexpress.com/item/4001157346055.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d4xo95g

I don't know. you should measure your current head unit and then compare with this head unit in the product link in AliExpress.

I have a similar question as well. I also have a rapid (sedan) 2014.

Hi, I have the same car, so can you share if you bought a head unit?

I double checked the link and apparently they still have the same model as mine. The screen size is 7 inches but it has keys and nubs as well. a.aliexpress.com/_Ez6hnVt

Sure. It was from AliExpress. www.aliexpress.com/item/4001157346055.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d4xo95g

It depends on your head unit model. But, I suggest to check the wi-fi antenna. There are two wires that act as an BT and wi-fi antenna. They have been shown in this video too.

I am not sure as my car's heating controls are mechanical switches.

I have the same issue. The installation went perfectly but the car battery was dead. What is the issue?

I'm not sure. But as a guess, there is a socket on the power cable that you should disconnect when you are using CAN box. You should double check that to make sure your device goes off when the car is off.

Hi, Not sure. Please check the dimensions.

Which battery?

@@omidtalebithe original battery of the Skoda. Thanks

@@robert-ts9qg If you mean the car battery, it can be used with any car battery

@@omidtalebi thanks 👍👍

Hi, In used the following sensor with wireless transmitter that shows the distance on the screen. 3 in 1 Car Rear View Camera Car Reversing Rearview Backup Camera with Buzzer and Radar Sensor 170° Angle Car Parking Assistance a.aliexpress.com/_mPrm8UQ

Hi, Yes. I am very happy with that after 3.5 years of work and no issue. It does not get hot, however my place never gets warm. I was always worry about the durability of the keys and nubs after years of work, but they are still fine, so far.

​@@omidtalebithanks for the answer. I chose several models and now I have to decide. Your video is very helpful. Have a nice afternoon.

@@omidtalebi I'll ask again. Does the integrated microphone work well? Is it better to use an external one?

@@konradwallenrod9056 The microphone's sound quality is not very good specifically for the right handed cars as the microphone is on the left. I don't talk with phone too much otherwise you need an external one.

​@@omidtalebiThank you for your time and your opinion.
