[@gercolandman6676]

Great video ! I've also done the install using this video and a few others, a few lessons learned from me: 0. Watch this video (and others) before doing anything; measure twice, cut once. 1. Total complete process took me about 3 hours; this is including everything such as unboxing, running cables through dash, run microphone cable through to the mirror, etc. 2. This video has no steering wheel controls, so that was going to be a bit of surprise; to my relief, with the Canbus box it just works 3. I did not have the problem with the antenna sticking out; there was already a 90 degree angle plug supplied. 4. Android Auto 'just works' 5. Biggest challenge was actually getting the radio and the myriad of cables back in the hole and the radio far enough back; took me a few tries. I have considered cutting away the 15 cables or so that I would never ever need (e.g. subwoofer) but decided not to do this to avoid any side effects. Anyone know if you can do this safely? 6. I did not disconnect the battery; did not need to imho 7. One remaining issue is the flickering odometer; from what I can read on the internet, seems like this will not go away (minor nuisance) 8. I've reinstalled the vents as per this video. Not sure how useful it is but I could so why not 9. I've stuck the GPS antenna on the right side of this radio within the dash; works fine. 10. I ordered the 4GB RAM / 64 GB storage with the 8 core processor; so not the top model but pretty close. Last thing you want is a laggy system, and when undertaking a project like this, you don't want to regret buying a too low-specced one. Good luck !

[@Love500]

I was tempted on my latest one to get rid of the superfluous cables but decided to just tape the, all together. Much easier to get them all in but it’s always a challenge. The Speedo flashing needs a proxy alignment, it won’t stop without one.

[@Love500]

If you have a car without steering wheel controls, you can't just add a steering wheel with controls as you have a loom connected which is also programmed into the BCM, so it's not as easy as that I'm afraid.

Thank you for a great video! I have bought a unit like this for my previous car but quickly found out that it was draining my battery as the unit was actually "sleeping" when turned off. Unfortunately, there was no setting to make it completely turn off when the car was switched off. Have you had any issues with battery drain since installing this unit?

[@Love500]

On the contrary. Last one I fitted it would always power down when I wanted it to sleep but in the settings on most there is a setting for how many days you want it to stay active. Sometimes these settings are somewhat buried in the settings.

[@JavaRay]

The little door is for access to the vent wheels. I have the same head unit!

[@user-ww8vg1dv9e]

I have a question, how did you arrange for the multimedia to sit with the air conditioner, because I installed a 7 inch multimedia in my Fiat 500 2014 and since then I can't move the air conditioner

[@Love500]

It depends on which one you have. The one with the little 500 logo is a hinge that allows you access to the main vent which will allow you to open and close the vents but none of them allow side to side or up and down adjustment. It’s just the trade off to get a modern stereo.

[@ImNotFancy]

[@Love500]

These particular ones came with the stereo but you can buy them in Halfords etc.

[@liyadong6966]

Great video. I’ve installed something similar but both USB cables don’t seem to work as they do not charge my phone whilst it’s plugged in, nor does it trigger any changes in the head unit.

I currently have a 2015 500 cult. B&M module completely dead (removed, sent for repair, irreparable unit). Finding a similar one or same part number almost impossible. Also tried 3 other B&M modules from a 500 (2013, 2014) and diagnostic returns "not compatible". So, question is...If i fit an aftermarket stereo like the one above, Would i still need a functioning B&M module? Or would the canbus and stereo itsself prevent the flashing mileage? any idea?

[@Love500]

Another module should work, you don’t need to match numbers so it’s strange you’re getting an error. An aftermarket stereo will still have flashing mileage until you do a proxy alignment. If you do a proxy alignment with the blue and me unplugged then it should stop flashing now. I don’t think it’ll flash again when you install an aftermarket one. If it does, then you just need to do it again.

You don’t have to remove it. I’ve just had a project where I did but just because I wanted to keep it as a spare. The touchscreen stereo was already in the car but they left the Blue and me in it. Only danger is if it starts to cause a parasitic drain at some point.

Connects2 are probably the best bet. Are you talking about out wiring loom converter or canbus box?

[@unixman2605]

Good video - I installed this exact unit to my daughters Fiat 500 last Christmas. Things I found were; 1) Make sure that the lower painted part of the dashboard is protected using a cloth or something - It's very easy to scratch that when you are pulling the unit in and out. 2) Watch the edges of that cage - they are sharp. Make absolutely sure the wiring doesn't get trapped (or your fingers). 3) The hands free microphone for the phone is plugged into a flying lead that is connected to the unit. Make sure this is fully home and if necessary, wrap with insulating tape to stop it coming apart. Mine did after installation, and I had to get it all out again to see why the phone audio wasn't working. 4) I stuck the GPS antenna to the underside of the dash top, where it seems to work OK with the navigation system. My only criticisms are that there is no instructional manual that comes with the unit - you have to figure out how it works by trial and error. Also, after 12 months installed in the vehicle, the original light cream coloured plastic has now completely faded to light grey. Otherwise it works fine, and is a vast improvement over the original radio. Mine works with the steering controls, and tells you when either door is open - wrong way around though, as the firmware assumes left hand drive I guess! I didn't realise about the vents either - good spot - I will have a look at that. I just assumed (like everyone else) that the whole vent assembly has to be removed.

[@Love500]

You’re right about those cages. Sherpa little buggers. I’ve also installed the gps on top of the stereo and works fine. It’s weird with that door open thing that it shows you the opposite door to is actually open.

Does the radio work now? These cheap Chinese Android Radios are not really recommended for use by anyone. The quality control is pretty bad. They haven't been accepted into the aftermarket audio scene because of this. People usually end up replacing these with units from Alpine and Pioneer etc.

Works absolutely fine as far as I know. Lots of people have them. The Facebook forums would be full of earnings from owners if they failed.

Must be nice I plugged my In and it’s completely dead

Your wiring must be mixed up. Test the power wires.

[@joshuaholland6076]

I have the same issue did you find out how to sort it out?

[@kyledavy1]

@@joshuaholland6076 yeah the yellow wires that come off the new harness only one works, also check to make sure you didn’t blow the 10amp fuse on the car
