- In this video I show how to remove the factory radio from the Smart Fortwo (451 Model) 2008-2015 and how to install a new CarPlay stereo.
What you'll need:
A Fascia and Cable Adapter Kit: geni.us/TzecN2
Panasonic SPH-DA130DAB Stereo: geni.us/6fSI (This is the one I chose and it's great)
Sony XAV-AX1005DB: geni.us/lBr0ix3 (I've used this previously and it's also very good!)

Hey there I was wondering if you could give me the name of the plastic part that goes around the radio my husband didn’t realize that there was a screw deciding right in the middle and he tried to pull it… well, it ended up busting it and I’m looking for a replacement but I can’t figure out the name of that specific part so I can order it.
I appreciate your time!
Hey, do you mean the whole front fascia that covers the air vents too?
Just what I was looking for, now i need to see connection with the wires, because is a different model
If I've already chosen carplay device, how could I understand if it's going to fit my Smart 451 MHD? I'm pretty new to this kind of things so want to be sure before spending money? Stereo in question is Incar ARN-7710-6.
I can’t actually find a link to that stereo. Your best bet might be to look up the measurements of the Pioneer one I’ve linked in the description and see if the dimensions match the one you’re looking at
@@MarksTechVlogs Thanks for your answer!
Q: we bought a Smart a few days ago and it does NOT have any radio installed (didn't know that was still possible) .. do you happen to know if the cabling and for instance antenna hardware is installed when the car is not factory installed?
I didn’t know that was a thing…your best bet (if you don’t want to remove the area where the radio is to check yourself) is to join one of the smart car Facebook groups and ask there…there’s people there with much more knowledge about the smart cars than I have! 😀
Tx Mark, just went outside (rain stopped) and checked. After some pulling and pushing I removed the center part of the dashboard and for your information: there’s nothing there. Only on the upside a very tiny cable set for the ventilation and in the bottom part a simple cable for the hazard blinkers.
So despite it is common use nowadays to put standard wiring in every car in those days there were separate cable design options per model and set of accessories probably … 😂
That’s irritating…I’m not sure I could cope driving without music!
Hi there! Did you have the original screen radio before? Or the regular radio? I have a 453 but I’m looking for a friend that just got a 451 with low mileage
I didn't, the car had a third-party stereo that had been retro-fitted by a previous owner but it didn't work
@@MarksTechVlogs Oh, thank you for commenting back! I’m trying to figure out if it’s easy or not to change the original screen radio with a newer one with CarPlay, as in my 453 it’s far more difficult to find options if you had a touch screen than a plain radio. I’ll keep investigating 😁
@@CarolaClavo I'm fairly sure in the 431 you can just do a pretty straight swap as the only extra is the fascia part as shown in my video...this is the part ebay.us/iAwXkc - I'd recommend paying the extra for something like the Pioneer CarPlay stereo amzn.to/3S0WlTK or Sony one amzn.to/3NLE5LJ (I've used both and both are great) as a lot of the cheaper ones don't have the RAM to work well or have weird non-standard shape bodies so don't fit as well
@@MarksTechVlogs I bought a Chinese one and there was a bit of going back and forth with the seller to have a 9” screen since I didn’t find any options. It for this 451 I will recommend them to choose a well known brand because the owner is not really a techie person and will be at ease with a easier and trustable radio. Thanks again 🙂
Like thank you
Dose this radio have dab?
Yes, the one I show in the video does. This is it www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B5DY2K6/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_6NYQK48YKWQKCAVFBE9G?linkCode=ml2&tag=markstechvlog-21
This title is wrong.. smart fortwo 451 only does 2007-2010 or 2010-2015 THere is no way they all look the same... Your one comes off as a bottom piece but up to 2010 models comes off as one piece all the way to AC
Thank you...have now amended the title!
aww kitty 6:07 :3
I think she’d probably like herself a little director’s chair! 😂
