|  Fabia HU replacement - aerial question Hi everyone, I've done a search but the posts seem to say the opposite of each other hence my question.  I'm fitting a double din HU, I have everything working on the ISO connectors apart from the radio, I have an adapter so that the aerial lead behind the HU can plug into the new unit. However there is a blue wire with it which I'm assuming connects to pin 5 block a of the Skoda ISO block - automatic aerial +12v output from the radio. Now some posts say this must be connected but others say that if I do it could fry something on one of the control boxes. So do I need to connect this to get it all working? If so what do I connect it too? Cheers in advance.

|  Re: Fabia HU replacement - aerial question Don't connect it. You will cook whatever is on the other end of the K Line. What you might want to do i connect that blue wire to the power in for the aerial booster as you will need to send power to the amplifier in the aerial base. A search should reveal more.

| Re: Fabia HU replacement - aerial question Cheers for the reply, my K Line is not connected on the wiring loom I have so I'm safe there. There is a blue cable labeled antenna coming out of the back of my new HU that I will wire up to the blue wire on the aerial adapter & that should provide power to the aerial booster. Again thanks for the help, hopefully I should have it all working tomorrow dinner time & then its time for pics.

| Re: Fabia HU replacement - aerial question I've got me new HU in & everything seems to be working ok apart from the radio, now I did as I said above & joined the blue aerial cable to the blue one coming off the radio. Is this right or should it be on a 12v supply?

| Re: Fabia HU replacement - aerial question Are there any more wires that you may have missed that have to be connected?

| Re: Fabia HU replacement - aerial question The only ones not wired up are labeled remote, rear gear, amp on, tv out & tv in. Does seem strange. will have to have the unit out again to make sure.
