Self-assembly and installation
Although this device is not an RNS factory radio, this car radio has been specially designed by Cartronix for various Volkswagen Amarok, Skoda, and Seat car models. It is the perfect replacement for the factory-installed car radio. Installing the Cartronix CTX-118935 is simple. For most users, it is a matter of plug-and-play.

If you have a Volkswagen Amarok, Seat, or Skoda from a model year before 2011, extra steps will be required during installation to prevent the car radio from draining your battery. In that case, we advise you to consult an installation specialist or our installation partner, Cartop Automotive, who can perform the installation professionally.

If you have a car from the 2011 model year or newer, the installation is plug-and-play.

Extra cable required for cars from model year 2014: CTX-3401
For cars from the 2014 model year, an extra cable—the MIB connector—is required to install this car radio. This connector is necessary to ensure compatibility with the car's original functions. The MIB connector ensures that the new car radio can communicate correctly with the modern systems of these vehicles, including the steering wheel controls and other integrated features. Therefore, check when purchasing whether your car falls into this category and ensure you have the correct cable for a seamless installation.

Original accessories and options
If your car has a reversing camera originally supplied by the dealer, please note that it cannot be connected via plug-and-play. To connect the camera, you need an adapter cable that connects the original camera to an RCA plug. If your car has a CD changer, you will no longer be able to use it after removing the original radio. It is therefore advisable to remove the CDs from the changer before you remove the radio.
