Review of user experience of this radio: ua-cam.com/video/062M8qDGZZg/v-deo.html
did your car have factory fitted reverse sensors?
@@Sheepy1966 what difference does this make?
What a really helpful video. I was hesitant in buying one of these for my Astra, but your video showed me everything i needed. Props to you man, thank you!
You are welcome! If you have any question feel free to ask!
Did you buy it and how was it??
You deserve 10 likes per view. Very practical and enthusiastic. I am a broadband handyman but fearful when it deals with cars and electronics. Heel erg Bedankt.
Thanks for the compliment. I just made this video for fun. Didn't know it would get so much traction!
I'm a car noob and have no experience with radio's, but if i can do it, so can you buddy! Take care!
I've just ordered one, thanks for you videos it really helped me deciding to buy it.
Thanks Jack! Just let me know if it turned all alright
@@sndr1384 took about 2-3 hours to install. Finally got it fitted and now the screen doesn't turn on. So opened it back up and everything is connected but not working for some reason.
Update, blew a bunch of fuses and my battery died, but got it working at least. Was a bit of a pain making the sim card work, had to disable the sim card they have built in from china unicom?
@@jackfrancis4561 how did you disable the China Unicom sim card. Having problems. Thanks
@@joemccavana3623 I honestly can't remember how I did it. I will have a look later on and try get back to you.
this was very helpful thank you
Glad i could help!
Thanks for video !
Hi, you inspired me to buy the same radio. Thank you very much. The seller is really kind and professional. I plan to install the radio tomorrow but I'm afraid a bit. Of course, your video is a perfect manual and I hope there will be no complications. But, I have several questions and sorry that I'm bothering you with them. So, if you have time for answers I would appreciate it.
1. Alarm in the car - should I disconnect it somehow or I shouldn't care about the alarm because it isn't connected together (alarm is the genuine one from Opel
2. Should I disconnect the accumulator/ car battery or it's not necessary?
3. if I disconnect the battery wouldn't be there any problem with the car systems? (engine, dashboard data/computer
4. same questions, what about immobilizer?
Thank you.
1: Don't know about any alarm, I guess i don't have one.
2: I didn't disconnact anything, just had the contact off.
3: No, not that i know off, but then again, i'm am not an automechanic, just a office worker with 2 left hands ;)
4: I don't know what an inmobilizer is.
Can't wait for New content
Great job
Hi, Sander! Good video!
Thanks mate! Hope this helped!
if you have infinity sound system from factory, you will have a center speaker in the dashboard, so no space to install gps antenna :) Also, on cars with ECO button and/or OPC /GTC / 5 door (OPC/Sport extra buttons, Sport/Tour extra buttons) there will be some issues because the console doesn't have space to get more buttons.
Thank you for this addition! Is there no space in the middle where i put my antennas? (in the air vent tubes)
Thanks for pointing out the extra buttons!, I have the most basic Astra so i don't have one. But I tought the vendor does sell one with extra buttons...
I've just installed mine today. I have a center speaker but there is a small space next to the speaker (facing the front window) in wich you can easily fit the GPS and 4g antenna :)
Hello i have one last question:what IS your car configurator in extra menu please tell me because i heve forgot my car configuration
Hey Sander, super filmpje dankjewel. Heb hem besteld ben heel benieuwd! Krijg je achteruitrij camera erbij of moet je deze dus wel los bestellen?
Volgens mij zijn er meerdere opties en kun je ook een bestelling doen met camera inbegrepen.
Ik heb deze los bijbesteld, links staan in de beschrijving...
Ik had deze nog liggen omdat ik eerst een draadloze optie wilde maar deze is nooit snel genoeg opgestart als je de auto start en hem meteen in zijn achteruit zet. Met kabel is er direct signaal, de draadloze gaat dan pas verbinding zoeken...
Hey Sander, toffe uitleg thanks. Ik heb hem net besteld. Maar ik heb een vraag over de 4G functie, moet je daar een apart abonnement voor aansluiten? Of zit er standaard 4G op ingebouwd. Ik hoor van je.
Met vriendelijke Groet,
Bjorn Baars
Er zit een 4g antenne op maar je hebt wel een abbo nodig. Ik heb een Lebara abbo. Deze is het goedkoopst en ze doen niet moeilijk over het feit dat je niet ermee belt maar alleen data gebruikt. (En ja, mijn auto heeft dus zijn eigen 06 nummer)
Je activeert de simkaart met een oude telefoon (grote simkaart) en daarna in de simkaart reader van de radio steken.
Hi thank you I will watch this when I install mine at Christmas. I like your accent btw, German I'm guessing! Vielen Dank!
natürlich vielen dank
Hey I got the screen but it sparked when putting it in the car .. any idea how to fix?? Now the screen won't turn on
@@ImMamba hey sorry for the late response. How did this work out?
@@sndr1384 I had to send it back to China in the end, it didn't work :(. thanks for the reply.
Dag Sander, bedankt voor de installatievideo! Vraagje ivm het bellen:
Gebruik jij de bijgeleverde microfoon? Of ben je er in geslaagd om de originele microfoon in de nieuwe radio te laten toekomen?
Ik heb de bijgeleverde microfoon gebruikt en die ligt op het stuurkolom.
Hallo Sander, bedankt voor je video's. Heeft deze versie een DSP chip? En zo ja welke instellingen heeft deze radio. Heeft hij bijvoorbeeld een delay functie en een hoog/laag frequentie filter?
Ik heb echt géén idee wat je bedoelt. Zoals gezegd ik ben geen automonteur of radio kenner dus je zult wat meer info moeten geven dan kan ik het misschien zoeken in de radio..
Hi, which colour is the radio wire for the reversing camera and I’m trouble with the connection for the unlock/lock button and hazard lights, they don’t fit into the radio adapter
Did you look in the description?
ibb.co/Z2VFjTb is an overview of the back where everything goes.
20 is the rear view camera power cable and 9 is the rear view camera connection. All other yellow ones are for dvd systems.
Hello thank for video it was very helpful. I want to ask you if the radio gets the command to turn rear camera feed from the canbus or do I have to connect the back wire with the reverse light with the red cable that is on the instructions. Also from where did you draw the power for the camera?
See description for wire image.
Command comes from canbus ( i guess) power comes from the radio wire
Heel gek, heb ook een camera besteld voor de kentekenverlichting van de Astra J maar deze past niet
Vreemd, de camera die ik had was letterlijk plug and play...
@@sndr1384 blijkt dat deze voor de hatchback is, en ik heb een station
@@sjefjock6213 Tja, daar kan ik ook niets aan doen ;) Er zullen vast wel camera's zijn voor een station?
Hi, I've just got the 6G 128GB version
I'm wondering if I'm able to connect reverse camera to the head unit for power. But not sure which wire to connect.
The camera wire(head unit connector) has a WiFi wire, Brake Wire and a small white wire. I'm wondering if I need to splice the small white wire and use it for power?
Or is it another wire I need to expose to connect?
See description for wire image
I have same unit and found a yellow unused wire right next to the yellow female Rca connection following advice from the seller.
Hello need your advice ive just bought an astra 2014 model and although the steering wheel has the buttons for phone use my car does not have this available so if i installed a unit likenthis will them buttons work once ive installed this unit and secondly is it simply plug and play does the unitnhave the bluetooth module ɓuilt in
It should work, but ask the vendor to be sure, they are willing to help.
I sold my car 2 years ago so I can't check it anymore
If you are lucky and you can use power coming from the front radio you only need the positive lead? No need for ground lead?
Yes. I only used the cables from the radio.
my radio has been set to factory settings automatically since two months.
this happens every few days.
Is there a solution for this ?
Thanks, your video definitely helped me install mine, and i did what you did, i bought the cheap one first and regretted it, then bought the same one you have.
As my mum would say, if you buy cheap, you buy twice, don't do it
Yep sorry buddy, I also learned the hard way
Great video ! What about the quality during the calls ?Are you using the radio’s mic or the original car mic?
I used an external wire. Calls were duable.
Problem with even basic astra is that the new console doesn't have room for the airbag and seat belt spies, removing those will give errors you wouldn't want to skip for safety, or maybe you solved somehow?
I don't know what you mean.
Everything worked perfectly for me
some video about montage of opel antara.thanks
I'm not a carmechanic or a technician, I don't have an Opel Antera at home, sorry!
Hi my astra doesn't have the parking sensor button as stock will I still be able to use the unit? And what will that button do after its installed if its pressed. Thanks very much for reading
I guess when you press it nothing will happen? But i don't know because i'm not a mechanic. The unit can work without extra options. For example, i don't have steeringwheel buttons but the unit still works.
Hey Sander! Ik heb een maandje geleden ook hetzelfde scherm gekocht maar met het erin zetten kom ik er achter dat hij niet past??.. kan het zijn omdat ik de Buick Verano variant heb gekocht? Het probleem is dat het achterste gedeelte van het schermpje tegen het kunststof aan komt in het lege gat achter de radio..
Oei dat zou ik niet weten.
Ja een Buick is een andere auto dan een Opel denk ik?
Ik zou even contact opnemen met de dealer en het verhaal uitleggen.
Let wel dat je de kabels goed moet doen anders zitten ze tussen de dwarsbalk en de radio en past het niet!
Hey Sander i just bought the same navigation i just want to ask if all the cables from old navi and radio have to be connected to the android one.
Yes. But keep in mind i have the budget version Astra without any options like steeringwheel controls.
See description for wire image
My radio is the CD 400 PLUS with an ECO button. I bought a model like this and went to install it in 3 mechanics who were unable to install it saying that 3 inputs were not compatible. Exactly the physical button inputs. Has anyone had this problem?
I have bought one of these, but notice that the only button not replaced is the "ECO" button, do you have the same issue or your car did not ECO. Just wondering what will happen if I install this and the ECO button is left unplugged, will it be left permanently turned on or off or even worse cause a fault in the cars computer
You can buy 2 different versions on the vendors site, one with an eco button and one without. My car is the basics version of basiscs so I really don't know! Sorry!
Where do you get the black trim instead of silver around the tesla screen?
It was stock trim from the car
the reverse light is in the boot door so how did you wire it to inside of your car?
What do you mean? At the end of the video, I show where the cable of the licenseplate goes. The camera gets it's power from the radio, in the description there is an image showing which cable goes where. Let me know if this helps!
Hey sander heb je de kabel antenne gebruikt die er bij is of de originele? Omwille dat er hier veel geruis met die kabel is die er bij zit
Originele, maar boeiend
De reden dat ik deze radio erin heb gezet is om juist geen radio te luisteren.
Wil je toch radio luisteren? Dan zou ik een radio app downloaden! Altijd perfect geluid 🤗
Hi Sander. How did you get the steering wheel buttons to work with the unit?
I didn't. My car had no steeringwheel buttons. I had the cheapest Astra with no extra features
Hi Sander, this is a very helpful and great video. Thank you for sharing this. Do you know if ECO button would be possible to wire in somehow? For example using the boot operator button which would be otherwise unused? Thanks for your help in advance 😉
Hi,
I really don't know i don't have that option on my astra. But you could always ask the vendor these questions before buying!
Sander Brand Hi, I did ask, but he said it should be fine... with not great English from China. Anyway as soon as I receive it, I will have to figure it out.
@@hogyeimre1 hi ,i just got the eco astra j ,did you figure it out? Im wanting to get the same unit , could you tell me if it fitted ok and how the eco button ended up , working or not ? Thanks
johno66 hi, I ended up wiring it to the boot opener button, as I didn’t have that option in my car, so that was a spare one. 😉
@@hogyeimre1 what colour are the eco button please. And how did you get to work with the boot button
Great tutorial. Did you had issues with airbag light error afterwards?
It's a common problem, please ask the vendor for advice. Probably you have to add an extra 4 pin cable.
Thanks for the amazing video, do you have any idea if the big screen is an overload on the car battery ?
Hi,
No. I don't notice any difference.
Even now due to covid my car is more at home then on the road, nothing has changed.
When the engine is not running and you use the radio intensive it drains the battery in 2,5 hours. That's what i found out during installation ;)
@@sndr1384 Thanks a lot, it's a Chinese screen right ?, How many years do you feel it would last ?
Everything is made in China or Korea for that matter. How long it would last? I honestly don't know. Wish i had a christal ball ;)
Hey Sander, where are the airbag control lights(on, off) because i dont find any information therefore in the internet
Hey, i think i have the same problem everything is working great. i just have an alarm on the airbag
As i remember there is an extra cable with 4 pins that you have to install. But i don't know for sure. You can ask the Vendor for help!
Hi. Does the media streaming through bluetooth on these units work even if the Astra J's bluetooth allows calls only?
Yes you can use Bluetooth to stream Spotify
@@sndr1384 thanks. Do you happen to know how to make android auto appear full screen?
I'm thinking of getting one of these but I will not be putting a sim card in it.
At the moment with my normal car stereo system I connect my phone via Bluetooth I can then use the call button on the steering wheel to access the recent calls on my phone and then call some one using the steering wheel.
Is that possible with this if I connect my phone to it via Bluetooth will it display my last calls off my phone or will it just show the calls made on the new device
Yes you can
You can import your contacts from your phone
wich wire from the unit did you use for rear camera? thx
If you look closely at the end and pauze the video you can see it
This was very helpful thank you very much! But I have an issue, when I put rear gear camera shows 6 split small screen (like 2*3 matrix) and they have distortion. I have tried all settings in rear gear window but none of them helped. In some it does not show anything, in some it shows 6 split screens. Do you have any idea about it?
Edit: I am using same device and same camera with you.
Hi,
No, i have no idea. My camera worked straight out of the box with only 1 screen. Very strange. If you have the same camera as me, it should only send 1 image to the radio. Have you contacted the vendor on Aliexpress for advice? Sorry i can't help.
@@sndr1384 Yes, they send another update file. I updated device. Now in AHD settings again it is sending multi screen with signal with distortion. But in NTSC it is working as it should be. Yet now, the ruler line is not turning when I turn steering wheel. Normally are they moving I mean curving?
Hei! Do you have a video how to install this radio from basic and what is going where. Thank you very much
Yes, see my other video
Hoi sander, een vraagje ik heb de android 11. Ik moet telkens handmatig de radio uitzetten ipv sleutel uit het contact. Ligt dat aan een verkeerde aansluiting of moet dat via de instellingen gezocht worden? Gr marvin
De radio blijft nog 30 seconden aan na het contact uitzetten (bij mij).
Ik zou het contact uitzetten, sleutel eruit en kijken of die vanzelf uitgaat.
My Astra has heated seats, currently fitting the same system but can’t seem to get anywhere to power the heated seats any ideas?
Hi, No sorry i have no clue. Maybe you could ask the vendor? They are willing to help!
Hello! Nice video and very accurate explanation. One question.; ESP connection?
What is an ESP connection?
I don't know, please ask the vendor for more info. I'm not a carmecanic. But i guess it works
Hi, lucian cadar! I have the same problem.How to solve?
I have issues with airbag and opening/closing door buttons.
Please can you help me ?
Its a common problem, please contact the vendor for advice, they will help you. I didn't have this problem and don't know how to help (I'm not a carmechanic)
Can this be installed in the American version of the opal astra?
Im not sure but I guess it can be done. The canbus has more then 200 settings (cartypes) so I guess the American version is in there somewhere.
Ask the Vendor first for more information and canbus code
Hi Sander i bought a Ts6...take out CD300... now my steering wheel volume control, temperature, aircon, sim card & sim card dont work.... aircon does come on but no digital display.... How can i fix it
Pff i wouldn't know! Please ask the vendor for more information
Can this tesla multymedia work in astra J cars which have that red display?
I'm not sure what you mean. Take a look at the vendor on AliExpress for more information.
hi do you use every connection from old radio and do you need to use every wire provided with the new radio
? I don't understand this question.
is it plug and play
Beste sander
Ten eerste goede video heb er zeker wat aan gehad. Maar nu heb ik een vraag de taal is dan nu in nederlands maar als ik veder ergens in ga bijv navi dan gaat die over op chinees weet jij hoe ik dit kan fixen
Mvg youri
Hi youri, ik weet niet goed wat je bedoelt. Heb je het over apps of in de interface? Persoonlijk herken ik dit niet, maar misschien heb je een nieuwere versie dan ik heb.
Hello! Can I ask what version did you bought? Is it TS-4G 4G64G and did you use the free rear view cam or you buy other rear view as stated in the description? Thanks
As I remember I bought several. I was going for a wifi cam. but that takes time. A wired cam is the way to go, because instant feed
Hello Sander, thank you so much for the video. I have an ecoflex one, where do I have to put those buttons? Thank you in advance
What do you mean with put those buttons?
Hey Sander, i have can bus decoder should i choose cruze in raise or what because i can not connect my can bus to car sistem
I don't have my Astra anymore but you should ask the vendor
hey mate, does your one still work for you?
I heard these tend to stop working after 2-4 weeks
Mine is still going as strong as ever.
No problems found so far!
Hiiiii, where is a botton ECO (for quick start stop)?
There is another version with an eco button, ask the vendor. ;D
Ik krijg die oude radio er voor geen mogelijkheid uit, die stekker van de airconditioning besturing zit echt vast. Enige tips om hem er uit te krijgen? Kan ik hem er denk je gewoon uit trekken? Snap het als je het vergeten bent of geen zin meer hebt om hier op te reageren.
Hey, natuurlijk wil ik reageren, ik weet niet of ik je kan helpen. Meestal gaan de stekkers los door een kleine platte schroevendraaier te gebruiken en dan dat achter het lipje te wippen. Helaas kan ik mij niet meer herinneren hoe ik dat toen gedaan heb. Maar, ik heb geen geweld gebruikt, dus goed kijken en dan moet het goedkomen!
Hi, really nice and useful video. Can you please upload some video about the user experience? I would like to buy the same model but it would be better to see how the unit works. How fast it is? How much time is needed for boot up of the android system after you start the engine. How works the Bluetooth, navigation?
A review video i made for you: ua-cam.com/video/062M8qDGZZg/v-deo.html
Hoi Sander,
Bedankt voor je filmpje. De radio zit er inmiddels in dankzij jouw filmpje. Helaas ben ik mijn geluiden kwijt van de parkeersensoren en de richting aanwijzer. Ik heb een airbag storing en mijn radio ontvangst is heel erg slecht. Heb jij enig idee hoe ik deze problemen kan oplossen?
Mvg Nick
Hey Nick
Het geluid van de parkeersensoren en richtingaanwijzer worden geleverd door de bijgeleverde speaker, dat zwarte ronde kastje. De Airbagstoring is een bekend probleem, daarvoor zou ik contact opnemen met de leverancier, die weet hoe dat opgelost moet worden.
Radio ontvangst is slecht, ik zeg altijd, waarom heb je dan een android radio geplaatst? Download een radio app of gebruik spotify ;)
I bought the same unit (B version, with extra buttom for ECO - which is not marked or wired (blank), I will have to figure that out later), and even though in manual there is a red wire REAR CAM but in my unit there is no such a wire... There is a brown cable that say BACK, but its boths ends are connected to cubes, do you know If I can plug it out and wire it to my rear camera red cable? If not I will have to connect it to my rear lamp. Also one cube doesn't suit the other and I will have to saw it a little. At least that what I was told on a forum. Maybe it'll help someone. I can give an update unce I'm done with it soon.
In the description of the video is a link for the back of my version of the radio. (ibb.co/Z2VFjTb) the connection for power for the rearview camera is the brown cable, nr 20 in the picture. The connection for the video is nr 9.
The others are useless
@@sndr1384 Thanks. Good to know that it's brown. I also bought it from that seller. My brown cable goes from one cube to another (it doesn't have a free end). I will remove the cable cover in the middle and connect my rear cam to it for the power.
And about that cube, I sawed it a little so it fits (apparently it is often the case) and it worked that way, with one cube (from the car) not being connected to anything.
Ok hoped that helped! I guess the b version is different than mine. Mine fitted perfectly
Hei! Can you help me? I install this display and after that my car not turn. Do you know why. Thanks
Is this problem solved? maybe you didn't wire a cable right?
hi. I installed this radio, but i get airbag alarm when turning lights ON.
any tips?
Ask the vendor, this is a common problem and can be fixed with a 4 point wire that you have to install. But I don't know what or how. Vendor has the answer, im just a guy with 2 left hands, not a car mechanic..
I have the same issue
Hi Sander, in the link you provided the radio doesn't have the black casing. Is it provided or do I need an other radio with casing?
Wat bedoel je precies met zwarte omlijsting?
@@sndr1384 Op 4:24 begin je met het los klikken van de omlijsting. De omlijsting is anders dan het origineel, omdat dit scherm veel groter is dan het origineel met de vaste knoppen.
Hi Ingo,
Dit is mijn originele lijst van de auto, mijn originele radio zat hier ook in. De android radio is erg dun dus valt vóór die dwarsbalk die er in zit.
Ik vertel ook dat je enorm veel ruimte achter de radio overhoudt om de kabels in weg te werken.
Als je onderaan de beschrijving kijkt staan er nog meer video's die vanaf originele radio beginnen en die gebruiken ook de originele lijst.
@@sndr1384 Bedankt voor je informatie. Heb je enig idee waarom de radio ontvangt zo slecht is. Verbind je gewoon de antenne van je oude radio?
Hi Ingo,
Tja radio is slechte kwaliteit, je verbindt inderdaad de radioantenne van de oude radio. Ik denk dat op de ontvanger van deze Androidradio beknibbeld zal zijn. Maar als ik radio wilde luisteren dan liet ik de originele radio wel zitten.
Mijn oplossing? Download de radio-app van je keuze en luister digitaal, nooit meer slecht ontvangst!
Thanks so much for your video, it was a huge help, not sure I could have done the install without it!
Since installing the rear camera, my number plate lights have stopped working, and I get an error regarding the number plate lights when starting the car. Did you have any such problems? The bulbs themselves are fine and they are not fused so it is not a fuse issue. I believe they are controlled by the CANBUS.
Thanks again.
Hi!
No I didn't have any problems because I didn't messed with the lights. they stayed the same. The only thing i did was replacing the plastic cover with one that has a camera on it. The power for the camera comes from the radio itself. Maybe you could ask the vendor for help?
Hey sander! Does this model come with apple car play and android auto?
Don't know, i use android only because its an android unit. Just install your apps on the unit.
Was vergeten helpfull. Ik heb alleen een vraag over het plaatsen van de SIMcard. Deze is niet zichtbaar in de androidsettings. Hoe kan ik dit activeren?
Oude telefoon plakken met groot simkaart slot.
Aanzetten, activeren op je telefoon en dan terug in je auto. Klaar is Kees
@@sndr1384 thanx gedaan. Nu is de kaart zichtbaar. En je ziet de strepen boven in de scherm. Maar ik kan geen nog niet het internet op. Frustrerend!!!
Heb geen 4G antenne. Dit moet intern zitten. Dus HELP!!
Ik ben geen automonteur.
Mijn versie heeft twee 4g antennes. Kijk hier ibb.co/Z2VFjTb
Nummer 26 en 27
Anders de verkoper mailen als ze die vergeten zijn
Do you have airbag fail (service airbag) ?
I don't know what you mean. I guess you mean the airbag error, No I didn't have that, but the vendor will help you if you do!
Opel Astra it's same Buick verano 2013
Great video Sander, thank you! I am awaiting delivery of my item from China and will install soon thereafter. Unfortunately I found your video after purchasing. Can I tell if I have bought the same model or if I bought the cheaper model? My version was around 172 Euro. What was the problem with the cheaper version? I purchased from eBay so not sure if it is the good version or the bad version.
Ah man! Whish you came across my video earlier! I bought my first version about 2 years ago.
The problem with the cheap versions is (in my case) that the processor isn't fast enough anymore to keep up with the constant updated apps like waze and spotify.
At one point, my waze just was so slow, that it was basically useless. It couldn't keep up. So instead of having a fun new radio it became a real pain in the *ss. and i bought a new faster one.
I have looked on e-bay and i can't tell what kind of brand your unit is. There are a couple of different vendors. But, more ROM, RAM and GB means more speed!
Hope this helps and let me know if you decide to keep your radio how it functions!
@@sndr1384 Sander, quick question, just installed the unit but I have lost original manufacturer park assist sounds. Did you have this issue? I have one original cable not going into the unit but I cannot see a place for it.
@@AntonMcCann I only have reverse parking sensors and my sound comes from the extra speaker that was delivered with the radio.
Otherwise take a look in the car menu, there are alot of features you can fiddle around with that do not apply to me. (Like steeringwheel controls and cruise control)
Let me know!
Ow, and take a look in the description of this video, there is an image with all the connections of the radio!
@@sndr1384 will do, thank you so much! Everything is working fine now other than the camera, I have little red cables at each end. Not sure if I need both or one either in the stereo or the break light. Did you put red wire into the stereo?
Yes, you can see that in the last few minutes of my video. (photo's only, forgot to film)
For the power u need a powercable sticking out from the radio.
ibb.co/Z2VFjTb On the image, it's 9 and 20 you need. 9 is for rear camera in, 20 (the thin brown cable) is for power, strip it a bit and just twist it together with the red wire from the camera and use some ducttape.
No soldering needed for this. (unless you want it ofcourse...)
Oh the other yellow plugins are usesless, that's for putting in a complicated entertainment system with dvd's in the trunk
hello friend the first thing is to give it to you for the video it has helped me a lot !!! but I have a problem, the steering wheel controls do not work for me... maybe you could tell me what is the canbus option that activates these buttons... I imagine it will be one of those that contains general motors (GM) I have tried with several but it gives me a configuration error, I don't know which is the specific model that activates those of the astra j.... and seeing that you have that model, could you tell me what option it is, thank you very much, I strongly hope your help!!!!
Ask the vendor for the right setting, I don't have the Astra anymore
Hallo Sander, ik heb een kleine speaker en microfoon bij mij scherm gekregen. Heb je deze ook aangesloten, of is dat niet nodig omdat de auto zelf al een microfoon en speaker heeft? Vast bedankt voor jouw reactie.
Deze heb je nodig voor de 'extra' geluiden zoals van je knipperlicht, gordel en achteruit rij sensors. Je kunt hem eruit laten, dan werkt de rest wel gewoon.
Extra microfoon is niet perse nodig maar in mijn geval had ik hem bij mijn tweede versie wél geïnstalleerd en dat scheelt echt enorm met bellen.
@@sndr1384super bedankt Sander. We gaan ermee aan de slag!
@@rayrid1 succes! Rustig aan en dan komt het vanzelf goed
Hey mate just ordered mine do you know if this works with the sensors already installed in the car
You mean rear parking sensors?
Those will still work. Sound will come out of the speaker delivered with radio. (Also for seatbelt and turn light)
Display has green to red stripes
yeah i have parking sensors and the camera works in conjunction with rear parking sensors.
sander how to you get the sound to work on reverse camera
There is an option in the menu that you can select. Default the sound is turned of when you go into reverse but you can select it to turn on. Out of the top of my head it's in the car menu.
Hi. Aliexpress has two modes TS10 and TS18, wich one did you install?,
I don't know, I've sold the car over 2 years ago so i dont have information about current consoles. Ask the vendor and they are glad to help!
I got an old version that gave me an error 95, showing the airbag was not connected. Using the radio you recommend, have you experienced any error?
Yes this is a common error, but i didn't have it. Please ask the vendor how to fix this. They are glad to help. It has something to do with connecting an exta cable to resolve this.
Also read the reviews on AliExpress, there are people with the same problem!
Good luck and let me know if this helped
@@sndr1384 thank you buddy, you got lucky... seems it is common
Hey ik heb ook zo scherm gekocht maar ik krijg geen camara beeld maar zie wel dat de camara led lichten aan gaan weet jij misschien hoe ik dat kan oplossen
oeh dat zou ik niet weten, ik heb mijn auto 2 jaar geleden verkocht, dus ik kan het niet meer controleren.
Great video. I am really tempted to purchase the same radio unit and use your video as installation guide... The only thing I think is missing as a link is where to buy the replacement faschia as I have the 400 unit at present... Can you give me a link please as to where you purchased your faschia please..
I don't know what you mean with a replacement fashia, u can use the orignal plastic cover and the android radio fits right in.
see for more information nl.aliexpress.com/item/32856863895.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.57094c4d14yTK9
Hello I would like to know if there is a CarPlay in this device ?
thank you so much
There is but why would you use it? Just download an app on the console itself!
Top filmpje.. alleen welk model a b of c vragen ze als je besteld ik heb alleen geen welke?
Heb je het gefixt? Ik krijg die stekker van de airconditioning besturing (onderste) niet uit mijn originele radio, hoe heb je dat gedaan? Ik ga het een andere keer nog eens proberen.
Ik heb mijn auto 2 jaar geleden verkocht, ik zou de verkoper vragen welke versrie het best is.
Goed bezig sander zelf kan ik niet instaleren te ingewikkeld voir mij omdat ik niet weet hoeveel volt watt het gaat worden wil geen kortsluiting auto in de fik want er komt bij mij nog een voet kofferbak sensor achter en tesla 90 cm remlicht plus verlicht schakelpook color red daarom gaat ik naar een ervaren instalateur....
Het is allemaal plug en play maar heel veel succes
Which radio do you have before replacing? IT will be also fit to the cd300? Thanks in advance for your answer😉
I had the CD400 or CD300 i'm not shure. I guess the cd300 can also be replaced with a android radio.
My old radio looks like this: ibb.co/G0KZhzZ
Hello Sander,i bought the same but i have a big problem : when a do reverse the sound always beeeeep and the distance is O
Hi, i did'nt have this problem, did you connect everything the right way? there is a link in the description where every cable goes. But, do you have reverse sensors? if not, maybe there is an option hidden in the menu to disable it! (if you don't have any sensors, the distance is always zero i guess)
@@sndr1384 yes i have reverse sensor.thanks for the response
A strange thing happened when i installed mine. i lost the sound to my parking sensors and indicator sounds etc. any ideas perhaps why?
Did you install the extra speaker that came with the radio? That's where the sounds are comming from
@@sndr1384 Just done it. speaker came seperate a few days later. didn’t realise. all working a treat now. Radio reception needs a boost though
@@paulskingley if you wanted radio why not keep the old one?
Just download a radio app for perfect reception 😉
Will this work on bose audio
Mine, whenever I do, I install an App and delete it, it leaves my car with Chinese language, is it normal? Then I have to disassemble and put back on the old radio
This is not normal, ask the vendor for help
Just watched your video top guy I'm going to get 1 any recommendations which and where to buy
Hey mate, this video is now a couple of years old, but like I said in the video, always buy the version with the most ram and latest android version to keep it future proof as much as possible.
Bought mine at Ali Express. Link in the description
@@sndr1384 thanks for your reply did your original stereo or car have the air bag and parking sensor buttons on top right mine has
Sorry for the late response, but no they didn't
Hoe staat het nu met de radio, moet voor mijn astra 2011 ook iets hebben, heb je een advies?
Hoe het er mee is weet ik niet, ik heb ondertussen een Mokka.
Altijd de laatste en snelste versie kopen, met de meeste RAM en geheugen. Anders is het traag en wil je de radio uit t raam gooien!
How was this camera in the dark?
Perfect. The rear light gives enough light to see into the dark
How do I change the language from Chinese back to English on my dashboard after installing?
Use Google lens on your phone, aim it at the Chinese language and let it translate it to English. Then it should be possible to set it back to English
@@sndr1384 Thanks for your reply. The language of tablet (radio) is English but the language of the car is Chinese. cars instruction language. I hope you understand what i mean.
Hallo sander, geweldig filmpje dankjewel ik heb de radio kunnen installeren. Nu heb ik het probleem, mijn boordcomputer is nu volledig Chinees en ik kan de taal niet veranderen. Nieuwe radio werkt perfect maar mijn boordcomputer is helemaal Chinees. Iemand een idee hoe ik dit kan oplossen? Accu loskoppelen en resetten werkt niet.
Sorry voor de late reactie. Ik zou een UA-cam filmpje opzoeken hoe je de taal kan instellen.
Helaas heb ik mijn Astra verkocht dus kan ik het niet laten zien anders zou ik er een filmpje van gemaakt hebben.
Beste tip? Hou je telefoon voor het scherm van je radio en gebruik Google translate.
Als het goed is vertaald google het in begrijpelijke Engels en kun je met een beetje kunst en vliegwerk de taal op English of Nederlands krijgen!
@@sndr1384 bedankt voor je reactie. Klopt maar de functie voor de taal staat er niet tussen. Via de oude radio er terug in te zetten is het nu wel gelukt, voor 2 dagen helaas en alles is weer Chinees.
Het lijkt erop dattie na 2 dagen een factory reset doet. Ik zou de verkoper vragen hoe het kan. Erg vervelend dat wel.
Als het goed is moet je de taal gewoon in het menu kunnen veranderen zoals je dat ook bij een smartphone doet.
Misschien zit die functie verstopt in het verborgen menu waar je het wachtwoord voor nodig hebt.
Hi i am struggling to get it to fit any tips?
Just make sure all cables are routed correctly because there is a beam that when you don't correctly install it the cables are in the way of a nice fit
how to turn off the Radio? after removing the key from the ignition, the radio is still on, how to turn the radio on or off without inserting the key into the ignition?
Maybe there is an option in the menu? For me the radio plays for about 30 seconds after killing the ignition and stops when I open the car door.
Go to factory settings, then engineer test debugging, password 26959910, select direct shutdown mode
Do the steering wheel controls still work?
I wouldnt know, because I sold the car 2 years ago and now have a Opel Mokka.
Buy cheap buy twice have you buy any chance a link for the new one please 🙏
Please check links in description. That's the one I bought
Hi Sander, ich war heute beim TÜV und es ist nicht geprüft. Problem ist gibt's kein Meldung für Beifahrer Airbag. Original Radio hat Beleuchtung, aber Multimedia zeigt kein Meldung. Hast du Idee? Grüße
Hi, trying to translate german to dutch and back to English.
Yes the airbag error is a common problem. Did you ask the vendor for help?
I know that there is an extra cable that should solve it.
Please take a look at the site of the Vendor.
Hope this helps!
@@sndr1384 ja, ich habe.. aber leider noch kein Antwort..
Hi where is the ECO button? Can you add more buttons?
There is a different version for the ECO model on Aliexpress. that has a different design and other button layout. See link in description and read the aliexpress page
@@sndr1384 Do you know what is the gift adas dvr? So the best model 4/64 costs 270 euro?
@@DimitrisChanell ADAS dvr is a front camera that you can use while driving which gives you extra information. I don't see added value for this cam. I use the full screen for my navagition.
@@sndr1384 the cost is OK. 270euro for the top spec. Right?
@@DimitrisChanell mine was 255 and 50 for shipping so € 305 in total
Where did you ground the camera?
Nowhere it isn't nessecary
Grounding comes from the yellow Rca cables.
