@baconbuttties I contacted the seller and asked about the red door light problem and they answered to me: "These can be solved by resetting the protocol". Not sure if that is something that can help.
@@MarkoBabovic it doesn't work. The canbus is set for Astra J which is very similar to Meriva B. Astra J doesn't have rear door switch sensors and that's why the door light comes on. It needs a canbus rewrite for Meriva B
My previously fitted Amazon reversing camera registered ‘no signal’, the seller did answer me to say try the camera they sent with the unit, it worked! Must be a unique protocol they use.
I bought the device as per your advice in the first video. Don't have a possibility to learn the buttons and also the main panel is not working. And have that red door mark on dashboard... All in all - will have to use it as already spent my budget... But thank you, now I can see which doors are actually open :D
Thank you very much for the update. There are amplifiers for sale for the standard car antenna, I have already sent you an email about that. If you contact the seller, you will indeed receive an automated answer, but if you ask the question again afterwards, it will say unread and they will answer that.
@@baconbuttties i have seen it use by some youtubers from England and it worked for them. Mine is coming next week i hope and then a can built in the unit. But for 2 pound 34 its no loss 🙂
Just a question, in the previous video you had problems with buttons of the steering wheel, did you change the software of the device? Because in my software I don't have the possibility of LEARNING for steering wheel buttons
Hi, i just intalled the thing. thanks a lot, i only found it because of you. installation was easy, no problems with cable lengths. but sadly, nothing works correctly. did you manually change the settings for the canbus? if yes, could you share where in the settings exactly? and did you get android auto to work with your phone? i cant connect it besides just basic bluetooth connectivity for calling and musik. but no real android auto functions like i know from other cars ive driven, that had native android auto. thank you in advance, the help would be appreciated
Android auto worked for me wired and wireless. Make sure you plug in the connection at the back with the 2 short wires as this is the WiFi aerial. As for the canbus button mismatch I did manage to get into the settings and manually store the correct steering wheel buttons. I can't remember how I did it as that was many months ago. Also not all these units are identical to the one I had. It's best to look in the comments section for some ideas.
Hello, thanks for your tutorial, it helped me a lot for the assembly. Have you been able to solve the red light on the door? My problem is that the radio has Android 13, and it is impossible to configure the buttons... I don't know how to do it, has anyone managed to do it? thank you.
Thank you very much for your video. I purchased the same one, but I can't do the steering wheel learn, may I know did you connect the key1 and key2 wire? If yes, where did you connect them to? Thank you.

Hi I just installed my unit and I have a question: 1. On the back of the main radio panel with all of the buttons there are two connectors on top left and right side, one at the bottom and on in the middle right side of the panel. That middle right connector, did you plug it back in panel or did you plug it to the Android loom with canbox? 2. Question is connected to the first one, If I don't connect that connector to the loom my android unit doesn't turn off when I take out my key? 3. Depending how you connected your buttons panel dose it have red backlight when lights are on? As it is now my top buttons around volume knob and AC buttons are lighting up. Radio buttons are off.
@@baconbuttties yes I think I messed up a bit. Just now I watched Astra J install , and I think that that one black connector should be connected to a matching connector that was original on the original LCD. I will check it tomorrow.
@@baconbuttties I reconnected the connectors, my radio buttons don't light up red when lights are turned on, volume knob is not working. Does your buttons light up?

Yes it is set to a certain protocol. On some head units you can change settings, not sure if you can do it on this one.

Is there a fix for the red door light error yet? I cant justify purchasing if it doesn't work with the car properly. It has to be an easy fix.
Some person in one of the comments mentioned a fix but it depends what exact model android unit you buy and what seller you buy it from

Hi in canbus settings what models can you chose? Can you try Mokka or Insignia, thy should also have auto lock feature .

1. On the back of the main radio panel with all of the buttons there are two connectors on top left and right side, one at the bottom and on in the middle right side of the panel.
That middle right connector, did you plug it back in panel or did you plug it to the Android loom with canbox?

3. Depending how you connected your buttons panel dose it have red backlight when lights are on? As it is now my top buttons around volume knob and AC buttons are lighting up. Radio buttons are off.
The original front radio panel should only have the original connectors from the car fitted and none going to the android unit.
That's how mine was.
@@baconbuttties yes I think I messed up a bit. Just now I watched Astra J install , and I think that that one black connector should be connected to a matching connector that was original on the original LCD. I will check it tomorrow.
