- 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

Great vid, thanks 👍👍👍
Hi. When does your boot up skoda logo show. Mine doesnt seem to ever show.
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?
Top video! Do you remember where you bought your gps module please?
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 😊
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!
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.
J_Grindel cheers! Found a guy on the who listed a Can bus converter. Looks like m going to give it a try.
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/
Anyone know the difference in size of the touch screen between the Amundsen and Bolero? The Amundsen screen looks smaller than theBolero
Is their a specific cable I need to add a VW group Bluetooth unit ? To enable my rns510 to make & receive calls ?....thanks in advance
Hi bud,
I am thinking of picking the 315 up this weekend for my Skoda rapid 13 plate. It is also fitted with the swing unit that you have at the start of this video...does that mean the new 315 will fit/install the same as yours?
Exactly the same!! Hope your enjoing the unit if you got it! Thanks for the comment
Hello, what other headunit will fit this car ? Thank you
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?
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.
😅😮
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?
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)
Really enjoyable video. Do you have the RNS315 with DAB, or just sat nav?
This unit was Bluetooth, DAB and Sat-Nav
I have Fabia RS 2011 and im planning to buy RNS315, do you know is it working with reversing sensors? Does the radio display an animation of reversing sensors after changing to reverse gear?
Filip hi, yes the rear parking sensors if fitted from factory will show up on the rns315
Thank you for the helpful video! Where did you purchase the unit from?
I purchased the unit from Ebay.
What year Skoda is this? I have and 11plate fabia vrs will i still be able to get nav and phone mdf on the dash?
would also like to know this
Where do you find your radio code
Hola, te saludo desde colombia, felicitaciones por tus publicaciones, quisiera preguntarte, se puede instalar uno de estos a una Skoda Fabia combi 1.2, año 2007? Te agradezco la información y la referencia del equipo y donde puedo comprarlo, muchas gracias.
Hola, gracias por tu comentario. desafortunadamente no puedes instalar esta radio en fabias anteriores a 2010 debido a su computadora incorporada Canbus. Lo siento.
Hi there,
I’m looking to upgrade my radio head unit video really helped
I was wondering what else is required?
If I purchase a RNS315 and a nav cable what else is required??
Cheers
Euan
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.
Hi. Thanks for the video is very informative. Did you have to swap the aerial on your Fabia to get DAB on your RNS315 unit? What interface did you use to update the MFD? Apologies if these are repeated questions!
Thanks again
joxford1234 hi, I fitted a auto leads Dab Windscreen antenna for DAB and I got a local VW guy to use VAG-COM / VCDS to turn on telephone and navigation.
@@JGrindel sweet, thanks for the quick reply!

Hi James, I've Amundsen RNS-310 too. Is it possible to connect a USB port? If so, please can you explain where it's going to be connected? Thank's a lot.
Unfortunately this unit doesn't support USB to my understanding.
Thank's for your reply Man...

J_Grindel
Just last question James: is loudness on RNS-310 available? If so, can you explane me where? Thank's a lot.
...and where's the clock is adjustable???
Hi I’ve just fitted the rns 315 and Bluetooth module into my 62 plate fabia 1.6 tdi elegance everything works ok sat nav radio aux etc I’ve paired my phone ok but microphone that’s pat of the Bluetooth module doesn’t work any ideas ?
Sorry for late reply. Flip the connector 180 degrees and plug in. I have put it in upside down before.
Hi I have ordered one of these to update my 2007 Fabia but I notice your aerial is a 2 pin as is the new radio, my aerial is a single pin will this fit or do I need an adapter is some sorts.
Thanks Danny
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
J_Grindel
Hi thanks for the reply I did buy an adapter so I could fit a parrot ck3100 would that be the same item ?
Regards Danny
J_Grindel
When you say I need an adapter is it just called a can bus adapter as there seem so many different ones on the internet, could you point me in the right direction.
Regards Danny
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?
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 hi, just requested Skoda Fabia VRS MK2 Owners page, probably is this one, thanks a lot
What is the radio code 02:43? I bought Skoda Fabia combi 1.4 that is 2009 froma private guy. I have no such code. what should I do?
You can pay to get a code given to you using the serial number on the radio at your local skoda dealer or on eBay.
Hi thanks for your knowledgeable video , My car is VW Touran and it has RN310 it has the phone symbol , even on the steering wheel is with phone symbol but it does not have bluetooth , i just want to know is it possible to add bluetooth in my car if yes how?
ks MADON hi, so I’m guessing the phone button just mutes the radio?? Or do you have a physical phone holder / mount in the car?
If not you can install and VW Bluetooth module. I listed the one I had in the description. It’s an in-line unit so it’s very easy to install.
@@JGrindel thanks if i swap to RNS315 the phone will work automatically ?
I have a 2013 skoda rapid will this work on there? It has Bluetooth and phone capabilities already with the stock stereo but just want a touch screen with sat nav thats why im looking to change it
Hi, Should do! Cant say 100% but most cars 2010-2014 had the extra option of this unit from factory.
@@JGrindel Thanks! Will look into it im leaning more towards the aftermarket side
Is the radio code part of the car or the cd player? How can I get it?
usually you can get them from the dealer on on ebay! Mine came with the unit
Hi
Im debating if to buy this for sat nav and reverse camera or go for android one?
Thanks.
This is very old now. Worth having a look at the NoName RCD330 on Ali express.
I’ve just purchased a Skoda Monte Carlo 2012 plate. Will the sat nav system work on my model or is the car too old. The car doesn’t have Bluetooth either. Can you help please?
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 :)
@@JGrindel thanks for all your help and taking the time to reply. Really appreciate that mate. Thanks very much 👌
Is it possible to change the language, and if yes how??
Where do you get one online? I have a 2011 Monte Carlo and I can't seem to find that in the video
I got my RNS315 (DAB + Bluetooth) (Amundsen +) off ebay for around 350. But you can get a VW RNS315 if you dont mind the radios lights being red whereas the Skoda Amundsen + is green!
J_Grindel Thanks I'll have a look on ebay! Does it matter if I only have the normal trip computer also? Noticed yours has the newer/better one
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)
Does that support android mirroring or can you use waze and basic phone functions? Thx
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.
Can I use reverse camera on that system?
Yes
Hi, i was wondering will this fit in a 2011 skoda fabia?
Yes, it will fit 2008-2009 with can-bus adaptor and 2010-2014 models directly without any adaptors.
Does RSN315 work with Fabia Mk 2?
nikhil bose apologies for late reply! I upgraded to the RNS315 a few months after I made this video. RNS310 and RNS315 are the same unit with the 315 being the update version with better internals and inbuilt storage for maps.
Does it matter if you get a Skoda specific or a vw one ?
Nope. only difference is the colour of the LED's and the boot logo will be VW and not Skoda.
Personally though. RCD330+ is the unit to go for now. The RNS315 is over 10 years old now and it shows.
will the parking sensors work ?
Yes! Mine still work great :) They have a better display for it too
I’ve just bought one myself mate and I’m struggling to connect my phone to via Bluetooth, do you know how to do it mate?
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 :)
I'm wondering if you know how to remove the bottom glovebox
callum graham it’s quite difficult due to the fact it has an air duct going to it for a so called fridge... if you google Skoda fabia mk2 workshop manual you will find a free workshop guide and you might be able to find it on there
@@JGrindel thanks
what about reverse camera for rns310
is that working?
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
i need it work
how can i di it?
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
I would like to buy RCD 330 plus for my Skoda. Can anybody give me any link where to buy the best and not too expensive please. Thanks in advance!
Best place to buy is off AliExpress, it’s called NoName RCD330+ green led (Skoda) which is more than the normal NoName RCD330+ (blue or red led can’t remember)
1:45 an eye is looking at youu
Never noticed that!!
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.
Dave Ward I ordered an RNS315 with Bluetooth and DAB installed but the seller sent me this RNS310 accidentally so I made a video on me fitting it and then sent it back for the right uni :)
But skoda units are a good £75 more than VW versions.
what GPS unit? and how much? and will this work on a 2013 Fabia?
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. The installation for that is the same as this but without the GPS wiring.
@@JGrindel thanks for the response! Re: RCD330+ ? So the install is the same but without having to install a separate GPS module?
does it have dab >? thanks
The rns310 doesnt tho from what I am aware. The RNS315 / Amundesen+ some models do some dont.
Not all units do! My new RNS315 radio does have DAB but like I said its not very common and not all do
Its Škoda! Š!!!
This shows why they're so easy to pinch! Why did VW design them like this!!
SoleFreak never heard of one being stolen...?
@@JGrindel These units and the ones used in similar aged Audis, Golfs were renowned for being easy to steal.
Hi, my Fabia has a swing with Bluetooth already fitted. Will it be a straight swap for a 310 or a 315 without Bluetooth?
Scott B Yes! If you already have the Bluetooth module in your cars it’s a straight swap!!! It’s a direct swap even if you don’t have the phone kit :)
Best to get the RNS315 as it’s a better unit overall
