Which Skoda Swing / Swing+ Radios Support Rear View Cameras?

If you own a Skoda with a factory-installed Swing or Swing+ infotainment system, you may want to know what features your unit supports — such as Bluetooth, DAB radio, or rear-view camera input. These features vary by model number, even if the units look almost identical from the outside.

📦 What Is Swing and Swing+?

“Swing” and “Swing+” are names for Skoda’s infotainment head units used in models like the Fabia, Rapid, and others. While both offer similar user interfaces, their hardware capabilities can be very different depending on the version.

🔍 How to Check Your Infotainment’s Part Number

You don’t need to remove your infotainment unit to check its part number. Just follow these steps:

1. Turn on the infotainment screen
2. Press and hold the SETUP button for 5–10 seconds
3. You will enter the System Information screen
4. Look for the part number (e.g. 6V0 035 869 J)

Once you have the part number, find it in the table below to see what your unit supports.

📋 Feature Compatibility by Model Number

💡 How to Visually Identify Bluetooth

If your infotainment system has Bluetooth, it should have a PHONE button on the front panel. If not, the button will be labeled MUTE.

📷 Rear Camera Notes

Units that support rear view cameras have an internal video decoder chip (e.g. TW9900). Only specific models — like 6V0 035 871 J or 6V0 035 869 J — support this feature by default.

🎯 Conclusion

If you want to retrofit features like Bluetooth or a rear-view camera, identifying your infotainment’s part number is the first step. With the right version, many functions can be activated via coding — often without replacing the entire unit.
