MAIN FEATURES

Exclusive to Audio Tech Direct, this brand new, high end PBA (Powered by Android) A85 PRO series unit is finally here. The A85 PRO series is powered by a super quick 8-CORE 1800MHz CPU combined with a 64GB internal flash drive and 4GB DDR meaning this system is boasting a benchmark score that does go above 170,000. With the quick processor and high RAM, the A85 PRO Series from Audio Tech Direct will blow your mind, not your budget.

 

The on board Android 12 Operating System with robust performance, privacy protection improvements and all the benefits that come with it including access to the world's largest App Market. The Vehicle-Class Android Operating System means, we haven't added in the latest Android. We have added in a version that has been proven stable and re-engineered to give you the most stable Android solution on the market currently. Install your favourite apps like Spotify, YouTube, Google, play music online, hundreds of navigation options and get real-time traffic, use offline maps without using your phone and much more. Connect various external devices to expand functions. More than 1,000 apps from the Google Play Store are tested for installation, especially media/entertainment and navigation apps in the "Cars & Vehicles" category. 

 

When you invest in a A85 PRO unit from Audio Tech Direct there are more benefits than just buying from an audio specialist brand established in 2014 with years of experience with Android units and countless happy customers. With exclusive features that PBA have either upgraded to, or developed in conjunction with our expert engineers (that others won't consider due to cost increases) you can have piece of mind you are buying a quality product supported by UK based staff who can help you with any questions you may have or help with using the product.

In the current market, there are now many cheaply built replica units which look similar to ours but have extremely poor internals and parts such as thin flimsy metal frames and cheap plastics. These are simply low-grade, low-quality, cheaply built products which are flooding the market, many with even fake specifications! Which is why it is always important to choose a highly reputable and trusted source like Audio Tech Direct to avoid any disappointments.

 

VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY LIST

 

This custom fit head unit is designed to be an after-market replacement head unit for the original base level fitted head unit. The unit is supplied with a matching audio plug fitting from what should be stock entry level standard. Please read the fitment notes (if any) assigned to this product as we try to advise as many points on variant information and possibilities as we can.

 

COMPATIBLE WITH THE FOLLOWING MODELS:

 

  • Skoda Octavia [1Z MK2] (2004-2013)
  • Skoda Rapid (2012-2015)
  • Skoda Rapid Spaceback (2013-2015)
  • Skoda Roomster (2008-2015)
  • Skoda Superb [MK2] (2008-2015)

PANEL SIZE: Top Width 256mm x Height 130mm x Bottom Width 235mm

 

FITMENT NOTES:

  1. Please check the shape and dimensions of your stock radio. This radio here is to replace the Balero, Melody and Stream MP3. It does not replace the Audience, Columbus, Dance or Swing
  2. You can retain the factory fitted stock 4pin USB port with this unit. If you don't have one, we offer the custom port for the Skoda Octavia (part number: FFU-24135) or you can also make use of this USB connection with FFU-17022.
  3. If you have stock factory fitted GPS antenna, rear view camera, AUX/USB ports or DAB antenna, then you will require a retention cable (all sold separately). Please ask us so we can advise what you require.
  4. If you have a model with a basic CAN system, then there is no ACC power into the head unit. You will need to manually connect an ignition live power (+12v) into the ACC wire on the stereo in order for the head unit to power on and off with the keys.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The fitment guide is given as a guide only. We strongly recommend you double check the shape and dimensions against your application before purchase as some models on our fitment list do have different shape stereo's fitted from factory. It is your responsibility as the buyer to check you are purchasing the correct item for your vehicle.

    Great fitment!

    Posted by Michael Taylor on 5th Jul 2019

    Great fitment as it looks similar to a factory Skoda Columbus unit, love the features e.g. being able to download android applications like Spotify and downloading playlists, not needing to use my mobile data other than downloading them. However be aware that to use DAB and Android Auto or Apple CarPlay you will need a USB adapter as stated in the description of the product. Although it was relatively easy to fit, if you don't know what you're doing the lack of fitting instructions could be a problem.
