Hi mate, I know it's older video but maybe you are still on this channel. Does the radio control behind the steering wheel work? When you are in navigation/music and press something on climate control, does it pop up on the screen?
The climate control works for my version. Also symbol when doors are open. In Norway, we have DAB radio. Have not installed DAB yet.... Before this Andoid unit, I had another version installed. That one was not good, and had no display functions. I can see if the controls on the steering wheel works. I have not used the cars stereo much
Fitted it yesterday. Hardest parts were finding where to put the mess of cables behind the head unit and reinstalling the glovebox. The glovebox is not right yet. I will have another go later. Very happy with the Android unit though. Very modern for a 16 year old car! Thanks again for your video, I couldn't have done this without It.
I realise this was some years ago, but I hope you can answer.. Does the new head unit accommodate all these functions from the factory display? Audio control ✔ Climate control ✔ Trip computer ❓ Parking sensor - (does it use directional sound from the car speakers, or a buzzer in the panel)❓ Open door warning ✔ Car settings (automatic lights, locking, etc) ❓ Also, does it affect anything on the instrument panel? (warning icons, trip computer, cruise control, etc) Thanks
I can see the temperature when changing it on the display. Parking sensor works fine (sound), so does open door warning. I have not noticed that it affects anything on the instrument panel, but I don't have cruise control. I have used the android unit for playing CD and streaming from Spotify (with my mobile phone). If I forget the lights on, when removing the key, it has a warning sound. I am unsure about the trip computer. Central locking works fine
Only issue I have had, is that on rare occasions it has difficulties with the display. Like it gets fragmented. On a very hot summers day. And next day all is fine
@@KrillekrisHey thanks for the quick answer. I'm currently shopping on Ali Express and it's so hard since there are hundreds of variations of the same thing, and all no-name brands with broken descriptions and pictures stolen from somewhere else, so you can never know exactly what you are getting..
I bought one of the more expensive variants, with newest Android. There is 2 colors to choose between. Black and gray. Make sure you choose the colors of your liking. Also you can choose internal storage and memory. This is the link: www.aliexpress.com/item/4001188479103.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2d024c4dLSO5Dj
Nicely done! Does all the pre-installed tweeter and speakers work with this radio unit? Does it support all the fault messages also? Countered any problems with Android unit?
Actually, I think that the speakers sounds better with the Android unit. And yes, all the speakers work. It does not show fault messages. But It shows the air-condition info. I have not had any issues with the unit so far. The park sensors also work.
@@Krillekris it is kind of weird if not showing fault messages via canbus like the original screen. I hope there is some kind of work around. Thanks for fast reply!
You will hear a sound when there is a message, but nothing on display. But if it is serious, there will be a check engine light on the instrument cluster. Or another warning light. Then a scanner is needed. I don't miss the messages that was on the original screen. Most messages I have gotten, is when it is cold outside. Then I hear the sound, but no message. The small screen in the instrument cluster works like it should.
Just installed a similar one myself. Video made it easy, Thanks! Hardest part was to route the gps-cable behind the glove box , to find a good space for the usb-port and actually squeeze all cables in behind the screen and android unit. I have one functionality issue though. The automatic headlight function does not work anymore. Does not matter if I check the box in Car info or not. Do you have same the issue?
Glad the video helped. I also had issues with fitting the cables behind the unit. It was a tight fit. I actually don't know if the automatic headlamp function is different. I always turn my lights manually on, even if it is sunny outside. But I think it still works. Is this a big deal for you?
Did you of you who installed this have issues with the timezone? Our timezone (Canberra) is currently UTC +11, but the clock shows UTC +8. Tried auto setting on network and GPS - nothing seems to work. Even manual resets to this timezone after turning off and back on.

@@Krillekris you have encouraged me to fit one of these after watching your video.Looks quite easy. I want to fit DAB too though,what type of DAB unit do you use?
The parking assistance is working as it should, with sound. And you can install a parking camera. I have not done that, so the screen turns black when I put the gear in reverse.
Hi Krille, thank you for the video. Can you please provide the link of the exact Multimedia you bought and also tell me if the rear parking sensors still work? Thank you for your help.
I assume that the parking sensor still works, just another sound. But I can verify it soon with a person standing behind the car. I write to you later tomorrow.
@@nejcrome7337 I have now tested the rear parking sensors. They work from any angle of the rear bumper. Also when the beeping gets to a solid sound seems to be ok. I have used a person behind the car for testing. And we tried from different sides of the rear end.
In mine everything works except the sound, which makes a horrible noise whenever I try to play a song or any other sound. The radio doesn't play music either. The parking sensor sound works well. Where is the problem?
good night I was wondering if you had everything working at the factory with the installation of this radio. Or some functions like tire pressure, parking sensors and how the car's JBL sound has stopped working. I'm about to send a radio like this to mine, but I don't know if I'm going to lose original functions.
I don't have a JBL sound system. But stereo seems better with the Android unit, better punch in the sound. And I have not lost any functions. I have no tire pressure sensors system, but the parking sensors work. All in all, I am very pleased with the unit. It is a upgrade worth using money on. Even the outside temp is shown in the Android screen. There might be some special function loss, that you need the original screen for. But I don't know about them.
I really like the unit, so it is worth the investment. It modernize the interior. I was thinking about special function like trip computer, and that the screen showed that the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius or lower.
First i had an adapter that makes the reverse sensors still working, and that I could use the buttons on the steering wheel. Then I used a shallow depth Kenwood player. Here is a link for Connets2: connects2.com/products/steering-wheel-control-interfaces/vehicle/Peugeot
Hey@@Krillekris Are parking sensors having visuals on screen too? And are they heard in car speakers? My 407 plays sound In a speaker on the side where the sensor is. Looking forward for review with presentation of all functions :)
@@MoGarczarek If you had a rear view camera for parking connected to the unit, it will show when you put the car in reverse. But if you don't it is only black. You hear it in the speakers when the car is close to objects behind the car. Sorry about not having made the review about the unit. I've been struggling with sickness.
It is probably faster than that, like a couple of seconds. First time it is installed, it takes some time to boot. After that it seems like it is in sleep mode, as long as the car battery is connected. So much faster the next time
There is a microphone inside the unit. But I did not install an extern microphone. I would perhaps install it abowe the front windscreen on the drivers side.
That means that I would have to remove the Android player to find the model version. It was a lot of work to get everything to fit. I am not tempted to do that one more time. Sorry
I can tell how it is for me. When it's really light outside, the lights are off. But now when it's winter and dark in Norway. They are almoust on all the time. I guess you just have to manually turn on the lights if it does not work.
I can't help you there, sorry about that. In Norway we don't have normal radio anymore. Only DAB, so my plan is to install a DAB adapter later on. I have not tried the radio function. If you mean the whole Android unit, I never came across any code needed.
Jeg har ikke JBL nei. Men det ble bedre trøkk på lyden enn originalt. Og jeg synes også at det høres bedre ut. Var temmelig dårlig originalt. Vurderer på sikt å installere noe skikkelige greier med ekstern forsterker. Men vet ikke om jeg gidd. Er mulig å koble en ekstern forsterker til min Android enhet.
Det skal være rom for det på fronten. En av gummiknottene foran er merket Card. Man vipper den ut og setter inn et kort. Men har ikke sett på dette selv. Kan ta en titt senere
Your car got a nice upgrade. You did a good job (y). I hope you are satisfied with the result.
Thanks. I am very pleased with the upgrade :-)
Have you done the review of the unit yet, I'd be interested in seeing it in action. Great video btw.

Hi my parksensor doesent work like it should, why is that?
