Please note some of the above changed for the later skoda range see below for revised pin-outs

The
other plugs are different colours this one relates to the amp plug (yellow)

connector c part 3 Blue 13-20 cd changer controls
on the back of the radio there are 3 connectors a(III),b(II),c(I)
c is at the top and
has 3 coloured blocks total of 20 connectors
a is bottom total of 8 connectorson connector a there is a notch (outward)
bottom left opposite side to the fuse, there is an unused terminal right
next to the notch this is pin 2 and should be connected to the mute circuit
to the h/free car kit 0v switches radio to phone mode.
to have the phone "play" through the stereo you need to make 2
connections
to connector c (the top one)
the notch on connector c is top left and you will see a lot of pins not
used
on this side,
the pins run in 3 rows as follows
top left to right
1.4.7.10.13.16.10
middle
3.8.9.12.15.18
bottom
2.5.6.11.14.17.20
pin 7 is the +ve feed from th h/free kit's audio out and 12 is the -ve feed
from the h/free audio
NOTE THIS -VE IS A FLOATING -VE DO NOT CONNECT TO GROUND ONLY TO
H/FREEKIT -VE AUDIO
for your info the lhs of connector c (no pins used)is for an external amplifier
these are
not connected/fitted on our vechiles but i have fitted an additional amp to my
car.
dont forget if you wire up the h/free kit audio you do not need a speaker
on
the h/free kit (pins 7/12 connect where this should)
also dont forget to change the setup for the phone in the menu
When i was searching on the web i found the following which helped me to fit an ext amp, Reproduced here for info only cheers to whoeverit was that wrote it.
How to connect an external amplifier to your skoda radio
If you're like me, you probably want to save yourself some money and keep your
dash looking 'stock' by using the factory unit. You probably also know that
using those speaker to line-level connectors is not the most ideal way to
connect an amplifier. This document will show you how to use the extra
connectors as a line-out and switched power to your external amplifier. In
addition you don't need to take your radio apart and you probably won't void the
warranty unless you break something. In addition, I should mention that this is
just an attempt to document how to connect your amp to your radio. I make no
claims that this is 100% correct or it will not cause your car to spontaneously
explode or other bad things. Use at own risk!
OK, here we go:
the connectors on the back should at least look like
this.
Go down to your VW dealer and order the following parts:
Qty 1, 4A0 972 643 (yellow housing for line out connector) if not fitted
Qty 1, 4A0 972 643A (green housing for data connector) if not fitted
Qty 3, 000 979 125A (wires with the pins that fit in the connector)
The back of the yellow connector look likes this.
Put the green connector aside for now, you'll be using it later.
You should cut the three wires in half to get 6 pins and short pieces of wire.
If you look at the pins you will see that one side of the pin has a square
cutout. If you look at the picture of the back of the connector, the square
cutout should face to the right. Each pin should click-lock into place. Note the
pinout diagram and connect your line out and switched power leads and build your
harness. Note that the pins are incorrectly labeled as 2 sets of rear line outs,
this isn't correct, one set of them is for the front. Unfortunately I forgot
which ones are the front, but I believe the front ones are 1 and 2. When you are
done, you should come up with something like this.
If you run the wire along the driver side sill and into the little nook in the
trunk between the fender well and the tail light, you'll need to build your
harness about 20 feet long. I built mine out of some 24 foot Radio Shack A/V
dubbing cables and 18 gauge hook-up wire for the remote lead. I cut off the
crappy RCA jacks on the ends and used some gold plated ones instead. You'll
definately find it easier to pull the 'headless' cable through the body of the
car and connect the RCA plugs when you are done. The sill cover is a pain in the
ass to take out, and I didn't bother. I just loosened it and moved it out of the
way. There's plenty of room in there for wires, so don't worry about them
fitting. There are probably other descriptions of how to run wires elsewhere in
the archives. Just don't mess with the seatbelt tensioner thing that lives in
the sill.
To pull the radio out, I made some keys out of small pieces of sheet metal. Pop
off the covers on either side of the radio (carefully!) , insert the keys, and
gently wiggle the unit back and forth while pulling it out. It comes out
relatively easily, just take it easy and use care. Make sure you have your radio
code and instructions for entering the code handy. Slide the unit out, reach
behind it and unplug the three connectors that are on the back. You can leave
the black and brown connectors on if you wish, but I found that if you let the
radio dangle from the hole it scuffs up the climate control bezel a little bit.
Push on the tabs on the side of the radio to remove your keys.
Fish your harness through the dash and up to the back of the radio hole. Here's
where the green connector comes into play. The green, yellow, and blue plugs all
connect into each other to form one large connector. They slide together really
easily, just play with it a bit and you'll get them together. The green connecor
is in the middle of the blue and yellow ones. Plug the connectors back in, slide
the radio in and see if it fits. You may need to slide it back out and
reposition your new harness a few times before your radio fits correctly. When
you slide it back in, listen for the clips to click into place. You should be
done at this point.
Some miscellaneous notes:
You may want to add an inline 1A fuse to the switched power lead. I'd hate to
see you toast the radio by shorting it out.
