The devices fit exactly into the dashboard with the adapted panel.  All you have to do is to plug in the new radio. Since all necessary adapters are already supplied, connecting is a child’s play!

CAN bus adapter

With the included dual-channel CAN bus adapter, the Xtrons Android car radio also connects directly to the vehicle’s on-board computer. Open doors and the distance warning are visually displayed. You can adjust the air conditioning on the radio and you can also read the battery voltage, windscreen wiper water level, brakes, oil level, and belts. Some information is also shown on the vehicle display on the dashboard.

Fortunately, many radios have a volume control. The manufacturer has installed a DVD drive in most vehicle-specific devices and often also provides two slots for MicroSD cards and a USB connection. On some radios, the connectors are hidden under two dummy keys.

Die Rückseite des Radios
Rear of the Xtrons car radio with the modern FAKRA connectors and the HDMI cable

The new FAKRA connectors for GPS and radio are already being used here. They are suitable for high frequencies up to 3 GHz. The blue plug (right center) serves for the connection of the GPS receiver. This is used to receive the satellite signals for the navigation device. The white plug (bottom right) serves for the radio. It already contains a supply voltage. Therefore you don’t need a phantom adapter anymore.

Antenna adapter

If your vehicle has two antennas, these are for diversity. Then the reception suffers if you use only one antenna for the radio! With a proper diversity adapter, you can use the signal strength of both antennas for radio reception.

TIP: With this crucial sequence you get into recovery mode

1. it is best to go to a tranquil place.

2. press the mains switch until the unit is switched off. Then you can probably hear a “plop” very quietly. Now the device is off.

3. now rerelease the button. You can probably hear a very quiet “plop” again when the device turns on.

4. Wait about 1 to 2 seconds and then hold the power switch permanently until the recovery menu appears.
