    I will see when I receive my android radio how easy it is for you to place it correctly. I appreciate your attention in answering me and am in touch with your videos. Go ahead, and, congratulations on your work and for telling us.

    Hello,
    I noticed when doing this on my car that the OEM connector on the car is an ISO standard connector so it can integrate with a play and play android auto unit (albeit with a few pin switches).
    This method works well too, top job!👌🙂

    A bose setup would be amazing, apparently they can be tricky due to speakers etc using a different ohm rating or somesuch? Im not good with electrical systems at all so I could be totally wrong haha. I've been trying to find an android head unit with DAB and a 4g sim slot. I would stick an unlimited data plan sim in, stream all the music, googlemaps, etc and fall back to DAB from time to time. At the moment I am making do with a DAB app on my phone and a bluetooth radio relay to tune in.
    If you do do a bose head unit replacement could you also cover replacing the standard aerial and wiring with a DAB aerial.

    You can test the speakers with a multimeter in continuity mode. The meter puts out a volt or 2 with a small current limit, and you'll hear it if you listen closely when you touch the probes to the connector. You could also just tape some wire to a 1.5v battery and do the same test.

      @@arcgarage Nice. I guess they're designed to handle up to 12V typically, but I just don't like stressing them too much. One thing I realise now is that you should take off the cover if the polarity isn't obvious from the colours so you can get all the speakers in-phase.

However, I would like to, tell you, how you have used the metal harnesses that supply us, how and where you screwed them and these to the radio, or you have only put it without the metal parts. I'm not asking for a video, just a brief explanation. I would appreciate it very much, I will soon receive one of these units and I would like to have this look clarified a little.

    Hi mate, mine is all fitted and working now. Just ordered a universal surround to try and get a tidier fit (unit did not come with one).
    One thing that's annoying me, when I answer a call the music does not stop playing. I'm using PowerAmp for my music player, is there a way around it? Admittedly I have not tried the default app as it does not seem to able to read from a USB stick.
    Also, have you managed to update the software/android version at all? I would not even know where to look for an update file.
    Aside from that, I'm very impressed for the money 60 Euro I paid.
    Just need to get DAB dongle ordered now as well.
    Thanks again,

      le misure interne di questa doppia mascherina sono di 172 mm x 97 mm. troppo piccolo.
      Ho preso lo stesso e ho limato di qualche millimetro tre bordi per portarlo alla misura esatta del 2 DIN.

    Finally got around to doing this, It all went well except the steering configuration function can't tell the difference between the buttons.
    Only one button at a time can be configured on each side of the steering wheel.
    i.e if you configure Mute the Vol- & Vol+ buttons will also as Mute. If you configure Vol+ , the Mute and Vol- buttons will increase Volume too
    the same issue happens for the other side of the steering wheel.
    Maybe the Voltage range is too small between buttons and the unit sees them all the same?
    Its disappointing , the unit looks identical to the one in the video , but the steering configuration screen looks different .
    Mine is an Android 10.1 I don't know if that's got anything to do with it

      I also had to select one of 3 in built Pull up Resister values. Once I did all that it all worked .
