Great tutorial. Thanks for doing everything onehanded.
EDIT: I listed all the components for better buying.
Aerial Adapter: CT27AA51
Quadlock to ISO Adapter: PC2-75-4
Fascia Adapter: CT24VW15
Release Keys for Radio (usually with new radio included)
Piggy Back Fuse Holder (10 A) and 10A Mini Fuse
What an excellent clear video. Brilliant instructions snd tips and all the serial numbers of the parts required given so you can source them correctly. Would never have attempted this task without guidance as clear as this.
Don't connect the piggyback fuse to the one shown in this video. The radio remains on for a period after the ignition is turned off, the length of which depends if the car has been running. Instead use Fuse 22, which is the DRLs. Middle row, 5th fuse in from the left (10A). This will ensure radio goes off immediately with ignition 👍 Other than that, great tutorial 😊
I found that this will turn off when you switch to your main headlights on and won't have any music when running at night 😆
How do you add the powercable with the fuse to the harness? Just cut the red wire and add the fused wire to the red on the side of the harness going into the radio?
Great instructional video, based on it I recently fitted a one din Android 7 inch stereo to my Seat MII. Thanks for your efforts and listing the parts numbers.
It's also noteworthy that when you disconnect the 2 button blocks and then turn on the ignition the airbag warning turns on in the dashboard. This can only be reset by the dealer or garage.
So before you test the new radio, connect the 2 button blocks.
I tested the new radio before I built it all back so when everything was built back I had the airbag led on. Took me a while to find out why.
Cheers for posting. Saved some head scratching finding those hidden screws.
Great content! Thank you for uploading this!
Informative and clear. Thanks!
It works also for Skoda Citigo. Brilliant, thanks
great presentation fella
Awesome video thank you! It explained it very clearly and simply. I have a Skoda city go and it was exactly the same. Funnily enough you were putting in the same stereo as well by coincidence. Ha ha 😂
Thank you very much from Spain . Good job.
thanks so much!!! perfect video!
Thanks PJ.used this video to remove a citigo radio as it had poor reception.hope the Kenwood is better.some handy tips.
Victor Mcclure is the kenwood the touchscreen one?
Good video and good english, grettings
Thank you, much appreciated.
Great tutorial video, I will be looking at changing our stereo soon.
You used to be able to swap the red and yellow power cables to solve the issue with the radio not powering off. Not convinced the power to the fuse box is required.
Both yellow and red on my citigo are permanent live
Excellent video. On some cars I've had to swop the permament live and switched live wires over to convert from Japanese (e.g Pioneer etc) to German DIN. Might be worth metering the wires to check this.
Fantastic video, helped me out loads. Part numbers very helpful. Quick question, you don't show the bit where you connect the red lead. Any chance of a little explanation as to which lead to context to?
good video, really benefited. How does one install rear speakers on VW up, having some problems removing the panels
Thanks for the video!! The only issue I’m having is I have wired in the ignition to the same one you did but the radio and sub stays on after I turn off the ignition
Thanks very much, that was really helpful! I watched the whole video and did my radio upgrade step by step.
But I actually connected the 12v ignition cable to the 12v permanent connection, because I didn't like that the radio shut down itsself when ignition is off, for example when waiting at the railroad crossing or hearing music while standing around. Now I need to switch it off and on by hand but I don't mind.
The original radio is controlled via can bus for the comfort functions: switches on with ignition, it remains on until you pull out the key, then it shuts off itsself. But then you can still switch it on manually. There's an adapter on ebay which unfortunately costs 50€ which wasn't worth vor me right now for this functionality.
Hello, so does that mean you connected both red and yellow cables with the permanent 12V source, or just one of them?
@@olli._st9422 i think only the red one but not sure anymore, it's 3 years ago lol
Really helpful video! but i have a question, How do you remove the radio key tools from the original stereo?
Fantastic video, is it as easy (once you know how ) with a DAB radio loads of ups have issues with original equipment. Thanks Bill
Good video and I have got the radio out but I need to clean the CD player lens. Is there a video on how to do that?
Thanks mate I guess it’s the same on a 64 plate skoda Citigroup 😎
Yep pretty much identical.
Thanks for this I'll have to get a new single DIN radio. As the Seat Mee has a terable radio. No DAB, poor FM reception, poor quality sound, and don't get me started about the Bluetooth! As it's dose not connected most of the time! The only redeeming feature in the Bluetooth track info, but as said Bluetooth dose not work most of the time!
Thanks for the video mate, super helpful. I’ve got a couple questions if you‘re able to help - you recommended to wire up the new stereo via fuse box. Why is it alright for the stock stereo to bypass this but not an aftermarket one? Is it because the stock one auto powers off and this won’t make battery flat? If I bought a stereo that would auto power off could I just stick with the default wiring?
Secondly, if I secure the new stereo in to my Up by securing the cage clips and then clicking the stereo fully into the slot, how would I actually remove it if I ever come to sell the car?
Cheers!
Hi, great video however can you advise if you remove the A pillar and if so how you went about it?
Many thanks
Good tutorial but i have a question. Why you show one adapter double and then fit one single?? Could be more than one option?? I ask because I seen that after the adaptor was with just one wite and not double. Thanks 👍
Great tutorial. I wonder how does it affect the Garmin device you plug on top of the dashboard (with fuel consumption, navigation and stuff). Will it still work?
Will the Garmin NAV on top work with the OEM stereo removed? I’d still like my reverse sensors etc to show up on that screen.
Brilliant thanks- are they normal or mini fuses and how do I get to the fusebox?
Very nice video! But now for some reason I the airbags light is on. Could it be connected in any way?
Could you show the type of the PIONEER unit you installed here? Could not find it listed anywhere
Hi, PJ I need your help! I am just about to fit a radio to my VW up - however I have overlooked one thing. My car already has DAB, so I need a cable that will enable me to use the existing dab aerial with the aftermarket radio. It's a 2015 Up that came with dab as standard
i can't remove the Panal in my Seat Mii... Do you have a DIY-vid how to remove screen panal?
I've done a similar attempt on a citigo but I'm not getting any sound. Have you come across this issue? I have power and the chirps and the radio is finding stations but no sounds. Is there something I need to do with remote antenna and the blue/white wire from back of HU? Thanks
Hi ! Nice video !
I know it's 5 years late but how did you pass the microphone cable behind the side and headliner ? Did you remove them ? I tried removing them but the side seems attached to the dashboard and the headliner sticked to the roof....
Is there supposed to be springs or something in the hazard switch? After putting it back on its just flush with the fascia plate and these are all original parts. The buttons don't press and for the life of me I can find out why it's not working after pulling it out a few times. Regardless of the fascia etc. the buttons don't work even when pulled out of the housing and plugged in.
Hiya, great video, clear and understandable!
When installing the ignition wire back into the harness, where do you put it into?
He forgot to show us. Others have also asked but he hasn't bothered replying. Frustrating!
What a great video! Did you leave the top off the fuse box? I guess it won't go back with the fuse tap. What an awful place to site the fuse box.
Is there any easy to way to fix the airbag light in this car and the Citigo and Mii?
What happened with the reverse sensor?
What harness do i need ?
Where do you buy the installation parts?
Hi pal i have a seat mii everything works fine on the radio when i switch it on and off,the radio unit goes off,but out of the six buttons two always illuminate red on the buttom of the radio unit and stays on even when i lock the car can you help.
hi what about the code when you put it back
Amazing tutorial. Im trying to adapt the phone holder for the Up! High 2016 (5U0035936) do you know if it's possible?
Hello, where can I get those two harnesses that you showed in the video? It is a more professional job than cutting cables and taping them, or tell me the name of the harnesses or part number, thank you very much
So. youve just taken power straight from the fuse box with an ignition-activated fuse, i see some Can-Bus adapters being sold online that are supposedly "needed"
can anyone tell me what the difference between using a CanBus adapter and a simple Power wire is?
Hi! Does the Navigon then still work? I mean the pop up thing on the top that not only navigates, but also shows radio details
No
Hi. Brilliant guide. Fitted a new radio in my sons up, took me back 30 years fitting an aftermarket radio! Only problem is we have used your suggested fuse for the switched live but when we put the lights on, the radio goes off……. Any ideas?
Fuse box layouts can differ depending on model,year and world region sold so it’s always best to test fuses first.
I would suggest you try the heater blower fuse as that is only live when ignition is on.
Refer to the cars owners manual for you exact fuse location.
Can you show me how to change AC controll knobs on VW up ? Please please please.
Thanks for the good DIY guide.
I got a question about the fuses.
I own a 2016 Mii and the fuse you are using is from vehicle lighting I guess.
There are different schematics for the fuse box.
Can you please help me out which fuse I can use.
did u figure it out? i go t the same question now ^^
@@quackderbruchpilot8382 dunno if you found it, maybe this could help. i could not find a seat mii list fusecheck.com/skoda/skoda-citigo-2011-2018-fuse-diagram
Does the garmin/Navigon (built in sat nav /media on top of dash) still work as normal when a new stereo is fitted??
If you mean the one that sits in a sort of clamp on top of the dash then yes that one has built in speakers and so is not affected by a new radio. If you have a version that puts it's audio out to the radio speakers then you may encounter problems.
Hello from South Africa, great video and very informative. I have a 2015 VW UP! and would like to install an aftermarket radio. I would like to buy all these parts that you mentioned in your video. Can you direct me to a place where I can purchase these items. T.I.A
Great tutorial.hello and thank you for the perfect tutorial.Unfortunately I am a French and I do not always understand even listening to the sound of your voice position in the fuse box. Do you put the cable of the piggy back fuse of 10 A in the second row of fuses? what is its location between the 18th and the 34th?thank you
It will depend on what spec & year your car is,refer to the cars manual for a accessory fuse and check with either a multi meter or test prob to make sure the fuse you are thinking of using is ignition switched.
Although a piece of mind feature, do you really need the ignition cable?
hi, can you explain how you wired the radio to the fuse box, it wasn’t really shown too well so i was wondering if you could just explain it for me. thank you, looking forward to a response
You just need to take a fused power wire from a ignition switched fuse circuit in the fuse box up along the inside of the dashboard to the radio hole and connect it up as shown👍🏻
How do you add the powercable with the fuse to the harness? Just cut the red wire and add the fused wire to the red on the side of the harness going into the radio?
Yes that’s exactly it 👍🏻
You aint wire the antenne i see.... i get an adapter for my Seat Mii.. (same car as the UP!) but does it also work withous wire the adapter to the blue(?) cable?
Without the blue wire AM reception can be a little poor depending on the area,most of the time the blue wired boosters are not needed in this location.
Is it essential to hook up to the fuse box? Is this just to ensure the unit is powered off when the engine is off?
Sorry ignore this, just skipped to 09:00.
My aux pin got stuck in the aux hole. How do i fix this?
lol mine also you know how?
Hi! Can you put in description the refit radio model, radio mask and keys? Basically all the products on a buy list (like amazon), it would be helpful!
The video is over six years old and so the model of radio is not made any more. I retired over a year ago so I would recommend you give your reg number to whatever company your country has for car audio. In the UK we have Halfords that can punch the reg number in for the exact parts needed.
Sometimes you have to switch the red and yellow wire, then it switches on and off by key
Exactly what I was thinking, I don't think the power from the fuse box is necessary. Both the red and yellow power cables are power, one constant and one switched, just swap the red and yellow cables over.
Is that what's causing my head unit to reset every time I lock the car? Pioneer head unit in a fabia
@@alexross9973 Yes probably
Correct, swapped the wires on my 2012 UP with a pioneer head unit.
Did it work for you, with the swap i have some problems with my seat mii the radio is ON all the time i have tried everything.
When i have DAB on my original Radio, are there two ant. cable?
Yes you should have a push fit DAB antenna and a FM one.
Is the navigation still working after changing the raidio?
No it’s redundant.
I have a Skoda Citigo version done all you have shown but can't get a supply to navigation pod
Do you mean you have fitted a navigation unit and are trying to power it from the fuse box?
Sat nav works fine with original radio Halfords fitted DAB radio but could not get the the power back to the sat nav pod had to put old radio back
Sounds like the Nav pod uses the bus interface from the original radio and so is sadly not compatible with new radios.
Thank you PJ for advice
If you have a 2013 Groove up can you change to a dab radio using a aerial adapter or will I need a whole new aerial?
New dab aerial, an internal window mount one is easy to install and cheap (about £15)
Would I be right in saying it is almost identical on a 2013 skoda citigo mate. Many thanks.
Yep spot on.
CT27AA51 is a twin fakra, how did you go around this?
what i mean by this is, 0:17 you showed CT27AA51 as a twin fakra adaptor in the video but when you plugged it into the aerial it appeared to be a single 5:52
Hi,
Does the illumination work ?
Thank you.
Not in combo with the cars illumination.
Can you help me?
I'm gonna replace the stereo on my seat mii I hate the little screen on top of my dash
Thanks for a very informative video! Any idea how to get the rear speaker trim off in a 3door Up? And do you happen to know if there's a speaker wire present on cars that don't have rear speakers?
The rear trim panels have an array of plastic clips that pop outwards and also go around the seat belts so start at the bottom and slowly work your way around. Most of these cars do not have rear wiring and so you would need to add it from the radio.
Fantastic, many thanks for the intel!
I thoughr youd install a double din stereo
Did you cut the Aerial Adapter? The aerial adapter I have have, two green "inputs" and yours seem to have only one?
After I plugged mine in, Radio didnt found any channels
No,the aerial adapters can be bought as either a single connection or a double connection,either one does the same job.
If you purchased an aerial adapter and are getting no signal then you will need to buy one with a booster filter biuld in like this one - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Diversity-Twin-Double-Dual-Fakra-Din-Aerial-Antenna-Adaptor-Lead-For-Audi-VW-/152079439479?epid=1094454729&hash=item2368a41677:g:iYcAAOSwcUBYIpg6

Thanks for your fast response.
Another question: Does it take very long (like 2-6minutes) for your radio to put off after ignition is off, too? Could this be improved by choosing another fuse out of the fusebox? I havent tested it so much, but sometimes the radio doesnt go off at all.
Good video, what happens if my up has pdc?
Is you parking assistant audio only?
If so and it uses the cars speakers to beep then with out a adapter it will be silent with a new radio.
@@PJsprojects Hi, just tested on a 2015 car and the beep beep is still there after adding an aftermarket radio. i believe the audio parking assist is wired directly to the speakers somehow. it does not however reduce/mutes the radio/music is playing. i believe that is the after effect of removing the original radio. Excelent video by the way. i moved my way installing it following your instructions and they work like a charm.
You didn't show where you connect the red wire to on the radio.
does this stock stereo have extra ports for a subwoofer ?
No none. You could use a pre out converter wired in to the speaker outputs of the original radio.
is there any way i could take the radio out without them keys
You sound more like tyson fury than tyson fury himself
MX 20 screwdriver ? I can't find one on line ?
TX 20 rather ?
@@Karl_Burton Odd, I just checked EBay and Amazon and they list hundreds of them. If your struggling and are from the UK I know places like Halfords and B&Q sell them.
Never mind 😀
@@PJsprojects Thank you
It's not coming out whatsoever
Beware the habitual. Yeah?
Volante esta do lado errado kkkkk
Why would you replace a nice oem looking radio for a awful cheap shitty looking 1 din
