I'm really glad you have done this video, i was considering one of these, but had nothing to go by for the Meriva B. Thanks so much! Nice detailed video too

[@baconbuttties]

Thanks 👍

[@vutran5635]

Hello, Thank you very much for your video. I have some questions, hope you can help. - Where is the connector for cooling fan? I connected it to blue one which comes from the same place as Audio In/Out, Aux In, etc… but I’m not sure it’s correct as I don’t see the fan rotates. - I don’t see the wire for reverse camera, only for Key1, Key2 and Ant. Do we need to cut a wire for this purpose ? Thank you again.

[@baconbuttties]

Mine had a connector for the cooling fan, if you haven't got one then connect it to an ignition live. You only want the fan to work with ignition on. The reverse camera also needs an igniton live

@@baconbuttties Hello! Im having the same issue as above, where to connect the cooling fan? The wire is so short! And I can’t see any ignition to connect it to, like, where, down to the power harness? Again, the wire is so short, I’m stumped 🤔

I have a version of the Meriva without a camera or reversing sensor. So, before giving in, I have a few questions: the link provided in your post refers to a large number of possible versions from Ali (and I'm not even talking about the other models offered). How can you be sure you have a 100% Meriva B version? And do you know what the titles ranging from “2G+32G” to “8G+256G” and “4G+WIFI” mean? Thank you and congratulations for these videos!

[@aleyer_s]

Thought about installing it in my Meriva, but decided not to do so. For now, at least. For many reasons, actually. 1. Steering wheel buttons issues. They're selling it as a HU for Meriva, but don't have button mapping of Meriva. Nice. 2. To my taste, screen is too tall. It's placed high and doesn't look organic in it's place. Wish that BMW-like wide displays were available, but they're not. 3. Have to change Navi 600 buttons panel to CD300/400 in order for it to work properly (it only supports one type of them) 4. Screen is too distanced to be conveniently used as touchscreen. 5. All the electronics are in the screen module, which is the hottest place of car's interior in summer. Not sure about absence of throttling/performance issues. Not easy to do cable routing. 6. Speaking about routing, I have a GPS antenna on top of the car (as car came with Navi 600), but I still have to use the one which comes with the unit, don't I? The same thing with the microphone for making calls. Why? 7. Dull UI/UX of these unit is a matter of taste, you can use Android Auto exclusively (but why do you ever need that 64G/4G/8cores then?), but I don't like it. So, I'll stick to my original HU, I guess. I enabled rear view camera, turned that "linear output"/"infinity audio system" option, installed Match UP7 DSP amp, Morel Tempo Ultra midbass speakers to front doors, Alpine S-S65 to rear doors and CDT Audio HD2 midtweeters in place or original tweeters, Hiby W3 as BT audio source connected via AUX, set it all up and I can say that sound is soooo much better than it was. But yeah, I still have to use phone on a holder for navigation, which is not cool.

For the benefit of those who have to install the unit in question, I can suggest passing the large original connector of the car through an opening between the central tunnel and the back of the main instrumentation (speedometer and rev counter), clearly dismantling the aforementioned instrumentation fixed to the dashboard through two screws. From there there is another opening to pass the large connector through. Well yes, the cable in question is long enough to reach behind the radio in the center of the dashboard. This avoids having to lengthen the wires that are part of the connector. It works I assure you.

Hi, super videos, this and the other with the settings! I managed to get the original radio cable with the big plug up to the display. Without that I had to extend wires! But, this is a hard job and you need a lot of patience in addition to very small hands. The microphone and a USB cable I put under the original radio and heater buttons in this small indentation, just below. There are openings large enough to route the cables without having to cut anything out. Nevertheless, they are easily accessible there. Laying the camera cable and the supply for it was another challenge, especially in the trunk lid. All the best, the device is otherwise top.

The glass is so dark tinted, you can hardly see them from the outside. However, the whole package is only one day in use. I'm already curious how well it holds up.

Bonjour et merci pour la video j'ai suivi tous les étapes tel quelle,mais l'ecran ne marche pas même que le milieu de clavier (qui controle la radio ) ne s'allume pas au contraire du bas de clavier qui marche parfaitement, j'ai essayé de revenir à l'ancien afficheur mais il ne veut pas marcher lui aussi😢,est ce que tu as une solution s'il vous plaît car j'ai perdu 5 jours avec ce problème mercii.

Wonderful video, very good explanation of how to fit the unit and a great review of the product.

Just tried wiring mine in. It’s got an extra plug that connects to plug where clock comes out of. It also seems to be missing a plug on the loom for the fan. Connected power from main wiring loom and extra socket. Turned ignition on and nothing happened

[@baconbuttties]

The original clock display harness should be connected to the new harness. Did yours come with a canbus adapter?

[@LeeWigmore]

I think so… can I email you photos of my wiring?

[@raulbernaudo4130]

Good evening A few days ago I wrote you the following request on your email with an explanatory photo attached. Would you be so kind as to answer me. Thank you: I disturb you for a clarification about the connection of the original cables of the car and the adapter supplied separately with the car radio. What I can not understand is how you connected the black and white cable that is part of the cable and that on one side with the white cable enters the canbus and the black one enters the main adapter that connects with the standard one of the car. Apparently its connection is essential otherwise its existence is not understood. As you can see from the picture, the black connector that incorporates the black and white wire has the perfect shape to connect with the original cable of the car that connects to the control panel or with another cable always original of the car that was originally connected to the monitor in the center of the dashboard. Unfortunately, in neither case do I get positive results. I add, again for logic, that if this additional cable I connect it to the original cable of the control panel in any case the latter can not be simultaneously connected to the original cable of the car and therefore can not be used. Perhaps my explanation was a bit articulate and confusing but I hope I have made myself understood. You're a smart guy. Maybe your interface cable was missing this black and white appendage? I provide you with the photo of the cable highlighting the extra cable (what you see is a test cable but completely identical to the one installed in the car). Thank you for your patience but it drives me crazy.

[@baconbuttties]

My black white cable connector was plugged into the original display connection

[@raulbernaudo4130]

@@baconbuttties Good morning I connected everything as you suggested but the result is always the same: the original stereo control board doesn't work. Probably the wiring of my dvd 800 of the car is different from your cd 300 and therefore the cables do not match. Thank you anyway for your diligence and goodbye. I address this appeal to those who have encountered my same problem. Thank you

@@baconbuttties you say in the video that because of the wiring you only put the stereo face plate on and not the cd drive back in or have I got that wrong LOL

[@baconbuttties]

@@rickydowdind885 you can't put the cd player back in as the touchscreen unit has a built in amplifier and this replaces the original unit. So there would be no wiring going to the original cd unit and it wouldn't fit because of the Extra wiring in place. If CD's are your main source of music then I would just keep your CD player. I do not own any CDs as all my music is streamed or downloaded.
