Operating elements on the front

The entire front of the device is a completely curved glass pane without mechanical keys. There are only sensor keys. This looks very nice and can be kept clean very well. On the left edge of the display you find three key symbols. The top one for navigation, the middle button for volume and below that another one for settings. At the very bottom, in the centre of the screen, is the on/off switch. All other buttons are located in the upper status bar. The home button is on the far left and the back button on the far right.

Housing of the Xtrons universal device

Overall, the car radio makes a very valuable impression, as it is mainly made of glass and metal. A DVD drive is not included with the device.

SIM card slots and RESET

The screen can be tilted to five different angles. If you tilt it all the way down, you can easily reach the front of the double-DIN case behind it. There are two slots for microSD cards. Here you can use up to 128GB microSD cards.
Between the slots there is a small opening. With the help of a paper clip you can activate the reset switch behind it, if the radio’s operating system ever hangs up.

Connection options on the back of the device

At the back of the device there are many connection possibilities. Much more than with other manufacturers. Usually it is enough to simply connect the ISO connector from the radio to the vehicle and connect the radio, GPS and WLAN antenna. If you like, you can use a total of three USB inputs. In most cases, the supplied cable reaches all the way to the glove compartment. You can connect USB sticks with 128GB each to it. Or a 4G stick to always have an Internet connection. Then you can use Google Maps, Spotify, Youtube, Internet radio, Mail and Whatsapp without having to connect the radio to your smartphone every time via hotspot. A separate connection cable is also provided to dim the display illumination. Two more cables are available to power extending antennas or antenna amplifiers.

Inputs of the Xtrons universal device

A separate video input is available for connecting a Dashcam. Additionally there are two video inputs for cameras. So you can connect a rear camera and a front camera for safe parking. For each video input there is a separate control cable which can be used to activate the input and show the signal on the display. This is not available everywhere. There is also a left and right audio input and an external microphone input for the hands-free system. An external microphone improves the quality of the handsfree system!

Outputs of the Xtrons universal device

Two RCA cables are also prepared for the output of video signals. Two headrest monitors can be connected to them. For direct connection of car speakers, there are four speaker outputs, each with 48 watts of power. In addition, four audio outputs with RCA plugs are available for connecting an external amplifier. The radio can also switch on the amplifier via an additional control cable. Even a subwoofer output is available!

Caution with cheap devices

Make absolutely sure that you do not buy a device with WinCE 6.0. With this operating system you cannot install apps. Furthermore, these radios only have a processor with 800 Mhz and 256MB RAM. This leads after some time to jerking in the operation and sometimes to dropouts during music playback. Because it is easy to mix up the devices, I have always provided you with links to good devices with Android 8.

If your vehicle has two antennas, these are intended for diversity. If you use only one antenna for the radio, the reception will suffer! With a good diversity adapter you can use the signal strength of both antennas for radio reception.
