This is my simple guide to fitting a Skoda Amundsen RNS310 (RNS315) head unit into a Mk2 Skoda Fabia. I got the RNS310 by accident from a seller on ebay who refunded me and sent out the correct unit I had purchased which was the RNS315 a much better unit in my mind and worth the extra cash.
To get Navigation on the MFD you have to enable it through the Can-Bus Gateway within VCDS (Option 37 NAVIGATION)
To get Phone on the MFD you have to enable that also though Can-Bus Gateway (Option 77 TELEPHONE)
The Phone module I have is 5KO 035 730D

I have Skoda Fabia 1.2 HTP and I want to change Radio, old in new navigation with ecran. Cann you say me what to buy and how to make it?

@mattsephton 7 лет назад

Great guide thanks. Considering this for my 2007 Skoda Roomster. I think I might need a Can Bus Adapter? Also, the radio is called Amundsen (not Amundsmen) so it actually took me a while to find this video. Cheers!

@JGrindel 7 лет назад

Got it Amundsen! changed the description thank you! - Regarding your 2007 skoda roomster, it has the older can-bus to the 2010 onwards facelift, the radio wont turn on with the car and it will turn off every 30mins as the radio and car wont be communicating (it wont be able to get a power on signal) you can wire in a converter which people have done on the Briskoda forums, so that might be your next point of contact to see if anyone can help you on there. Might be worth posting in both roomster and fabia forums as the car is the same upfront really. Hope this helps.

@mattsephton 7 лет назад

J_Grindel cheers! Found a guy on the who listed a Can bus converter. Looks like m going to give it a try.

@JGrindel 7 лет назад

Awesome!! Let me know how it goes :)

Finally got round to fitting the adapter and an RNS300 that I got cheap. Still a few small niggles, and I want to move the GPS antenna, but thanks for the guide! Details here: www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/434201-fitting-a-canbus-20-headunit-in-a-pre-facelift-roomsterfabia-canbus-16/

I have fitted this and am made up with it, everything works fine. Mine doesn't have bluetooth built in though so I have had to buy the bluetooth module to get the phone to work, I can't find the wiring loom though to connect the module to my RNS 315. Do you know what cable I need? Can't find the right one online but I want the benefit of the phone feature as there is a button there! Thanks 😊

@mattwood3157 3 года назад

Great video. Just purchased one of these and it should arrive early next week so just doing some installation research. just what I was after. One question - how did you go about VCDS part for the additional features?

@JGrindel 3 года назад

Congrats on your purchase! A worthy upgrade :) I found a local VCDS user on briskoda (they have a list of active VCDS users and their locations) who coded it for me. You could also invest in OBDeleven if you wanted. But I would just call a local garage and see if they have VCDS / VAG-Com and wouldn’t mind checking a few adaptations for you.

@4039byrne 6 лет назад

Would this work on a fabia vrs. And is it just a flick through the menus to get all the sat nav and phones bits to work on the tachometer display?

@JGrindel 6 лет назад

If its a VRS Mk2 5j from 2010 onwards then yes it will work, as long as the cars not about to commit suicide due to oil starvation or chain skipping ;) (jk jk) It requires you to activate the Navigation and Phone modules using VCDS / Vag-Com, which I got done by a local Briskoda Forum member who had the program already (costs a lot to own) Also dont get the RNS310 get the RNS315 with Phone built in, thats what I have now. (I was sent out the RNS310 by accident by the seller)

@JGrindel 8 месяцев назад

The video shows everything needed for the installation. Radio, GPS antenna, potentially a DAB antenna if you get a radio with DAB and a microphone if you also get a unit with inbuilt Bluetooth. However like I mentioned in a previous comment. The RNS315 is old now and with the CarPlay/Android Auto, the NoName RCD330+ (Green LED) is my recommendation now.

@JGrindel 3 года назад

Daniel Wright ah... yes an adaptor is needed for the aeria and also for the car itself. The 2007 fabia has different control module to the 2010+ so you will need a canbus adapter

@JGrindel 7 лет назад

Mines a 2010 Elegance! I know some montes where not specked with the Maxi-Dot, It does add a lot of features to the RNS315 when it comes to sat-nav. For example it shows the directions on the screen in the center whereas if your car you would need to look down at the radios screen. Plus updates are around 45 to 50 quid for these units so make sure you get one with at least V8 (eur_w_v8) or V9 (eur_w_v9)

@andriesu1 4 года назад

hi @J_Grindel. I have Fabia vRS 2013 with simple radio and would like to change with this one. On the steering wheel I have buttons to operate my phone but because I have simple radio without bluetooth I cannot connect it. I do not have all those option on the main board in MFD (Got only MFD, Audio and Setup... but you have there + Navigation and Phone). The question is: If I will replace this device, will I be able to connect my phone and operate it with steering wheel button?

@JGrindel 4 года назад

andriesu1 You should be able to control the volume etc from the wheel even with stock swing radio. You won’t see phone or nav if the car doesn’t have it currently as the car won’t see the modules. If you install a radio it might pop up in the MFD if not you will need to get it coded in via VCDS. Join the Fabia VRS Mk2 page or join the Fabia Monte Carlo page (I’m an admin so will accept ASAP) on Facebook if you need more help as easier to show pictures and links on there.

@JGrindel 3 года назад

Hi 3’s, feel free to join the Fabia Monte Carlo page on Facebook. - anything over 2010 (my fabia in this video) has the newer canbus meaning it will be direct plug and play. BUT make sure you get the RNS315 / Amundsen + NOT RNS310 / Amundsen. Alternatively you can look into the ‘Noname RCD330+’ which isn’t inbuilt satnav but newer CarPlay / Android auto :)

This unit only supports Bluetooth audio and phone calls and the supplied Inbuilt Skoda Sat-Nav. To get CarPlay / Android auto you need to have a look at the NoName RCD330+ - The installation of that unit is exactly the same as this unit but without the need to run the GPS module.

If it’s an RNS310 it won’t have a Bluetooth module inside it for phone connectivity and requires a separate module. I’ve linked the one I had in the description of the video. If you’ve got the amundsen+ / RNS315 you have the Bluetooth module. Google RNS315 user manual on google and you will find the manual to guide you through it :)

@mahmoudsaied6426 7 лет назад

what about reverse camera for rns310 is that working?

@JGrindel 7 лет назад

mahmoud saied I've not installed a reverse camera to my Rns315. The RNS310 doesn't offer reverse camera as it doesn't have a MDI port on the back. If yours does then it can but the wiring loom and camera is nearly as expensive as the radio itself

@mahmoudsaied6426 7 лет назад

i need it work how can i di it?

@JGrindel 7 лет назад

mahmoud saied the fabia doesn't naturally support the camera so it would require you to chop shop a Golf camera with a number plate camera and then wire the leads through your boot into the headliner (making sure not to get it tangled with your side impact airbags) then somehow get the RNS310 to read it. Like I said if it doesn't have the MDI port this isn't doable so don't waste your money. TBH I wouldn't even bother trying. It's more hassle than it's worth. Just look out the back and use parking sensors

@daveward4462 7 лет назад

I would have bought a RNS35 instead. Some of them have Bluetooth and DAB built in. They don't cost much more used than the 310.

Fakra GPS module, they are £10 from china. This will work fine in a 2013 fabia. Just make sure you get the Amundsen+ RNS315 (NOT RNS310) as the 310 is old and not good. I swapped mine out with the 315 about 2 months after filming this video. BUT... in todays world I would look at the NoName RCD330+ (Green LED) which is more like the new mk3 fabias radio with car play and android auto... plus not too expensive either.
