Citroen C1 Stereo Upgrade (Single Din) Pioneer / Premium VS Budget Head Unit (CityBug/Aygo/107)

[@Gourmondise]

It was a pleasure to be model for such a high quality video! I'm glad that the unit still works.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

It was a pleasure to receiving the stereo, well stereos. Thanks again Mr Kiss 💋

[@kemal9815]

I've been using a Pioneer SPH-10BT on my C1 and its great when coupled with Pioneer door and dash speakers (TS-G1020F for the dash and TS-1730F for the doors). Great video as always!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks mate and I think speaker upgrades might be on the cards if that’s something anyone would like to see!

[@adzib1823]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos In your own words: YES!

[@VisualsDude]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I have done speakers in the doors on the 2 c1's I've owned and I'd say it's definitely worth it. In the lower front of the doors there is even a cutout in the sheet metal. But watch out for speakers that are too deep, it can block the window. In my new one I managed to fit 5x7's in the doors but now the windows wont open all the way. But oh well, just a sacrifice in the pursuit of sound. I run it all on a Alpine unit with a Pico 6x8 dsp, speaker in dash, doors and C-Pilars. Self designed subwoofer. Hertz Audio speakers all round. Sound deadening would be an awesome topic as well, I've done it on both of mine aswel and it's well worth it. Done all the doors, the roof and the floor. If your interested it's: Hertz CX 100 2 in the dash Hertz CX 570 in the doors Hertz CX 100 2 in the C-Pilars 2x Hertz ES 300.5 for the subwoofer Pioneer GM-D8701 Amp for subwoofer Mosconi Gladen Pico 6x8 for DSP and Amp for speakers all round. And a Alpine CDE-193BT head unit for Bluetooth connectivity.

[@safdarrizvi9885]

Looks much better as single din.Ive an Alpine mechless bluetooth head unit to fit in to my car when i get round to it.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Nice. I’ve never had an alpine so that’s one brand I can’t have an opinion on sound quality, but they are always nice looking quality units.

[@curtis8516]

Got the same radio, very decent bit of kit. I've always wondered whether someone's used the double din fascia and mounted two single din items, like a radio and a cassette deck or a radio and a storage pocket etc.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Not that I’ve seen, I’d possibly attempt it but I gave my double din radio and fascia away to someone in the groups lol

[@kizmestar]

You shouldn't write then all off Xtrons are great.

[@Gp863]

Im glad you posted, I was about to buy one for me Darcia from ebay, @£149.99. Think I look around for a decent one. Cheers!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Pioneer single din, simple and effective

[@Gourmondise]

The double din I've got has 4 channels for the speakers and 2 for the woofer. It isn't necessary as the single din sounds just as good. What you get with the double din is a bit nicer dials and buttons on the unit which is easier to use without taking your eyes off the road.

[@Dazg-666]

Got to admit it sounds much better that the other radio.i put a Sony radio in mine sounds pukka keep the good work up and the beast av a gd1

[@anthonyenglish9298]

That is uber-neat, so much classier than having a huge mk2 type touch screen thing jutting out from the dash looking like I made it! 🤣

[@tomthompson7400]

try wago connectors if your messing about with speaker looms etc , they are really handy and cause no grief .

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Yea I use them sometimes at work, but I like scotch for joining a wire into another wire without cutting and stripping it back etc

[@zanexlmao]

Hi mate, can i ask how you swapped the yellow and red wires around, did you just yank it out and plug it into the other?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Most head unit wiring harnesses have them on bullet connectors so they can messily be swapped, but if not then they can just be cut and joined

[@carikower]

Hi, great video again! Any chance you can share the model or link where to purchase it from? And if you happen to know current stereo's (old one that comes with the car) sound output power, vs pioneer's. Apologies in advance if I missed and was already mentioned in the video. Thank you!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Hi mate. I think it’s an older model as it was bought used off eBay, but there are a lot of similar spec models available. I believe it’s 50 watts per channel, and it’s a Bluetooth model with no cd drive. Don’t know the specs of original one, but I suspect it’s not a lot 🤔

Nice. This one connects to my iPhone perfectly and controls the music on the phone with the buttons on the stereo, displays the song name etc. What does CarPlay do differently? I’ve never really understood

[@damien523]

​@@StupidBlokeStupidVideoscarplay makes it look like theres an ipad mounted on the dash where you can open the apps like on your phone. So you can use maps for navigation on the headunit instead of using phone

[@infidelcastro5129]

Did exactly this same thing a few weeks ago - cheapo double DIN back to a quality Pioneer single DIN DAB unit and the quality is so much better. Do you still have the sub and amp in the boot? I have a Kenwood sub/amp unit under the passenger seat with upgraded front speakers and a pair of 6x9s on a homemade rear shelf 😊 No plans to nonce past any schools though 😂

[@infidelcastro5129]

Ok, just watched on and you have the sub in the boot 😝

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Yea still got all the rest of the stuff fitted previously, will possibly upgrade some of that too in due course 🤔

[@RAMANOFFICIAL1]

Hi mate, how do u wire the 6x9 speakers to the head unit?

[@shingerz]

This was great to watch very funny too can you recommend anywhere to get this kit 👍

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Glad you enjoyed the vid. Here’s a link to the fascia adapter, with that pretty much any single din stereo should fit. Some of these cars do have a different plug for the radio though so worth checking yours as you may need a different wiring adapter for your head unit. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185080141789?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Y1kgUnTORvS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=B24T_G0JTKS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@Milly-gf4jj]

Hey, I was wondering if I could get some help on something :) in my car I’ve got a (pretty old) under seat sub. The sub itself is great so I don’t want to replace it… But over time the top cover- as it’s the standard whole plastic unit- has cracked. This is causing a bad sound with the bass as it rattles. The speaker and cone itself is fine though! I was wondering if the top cover has any purpose or if I can just remove it? It’s literally just a plastic cover/ housing over the top of the speaker leaving a gap on one side for what I assume is the sound? Thanks 😅

[@Milly-gf4jj]

It’s an Alpine SWE-1200 if that helps to give a picture of what the sub looks like. Any help would be massively appreciated…. I’m hoping to save some £££ not getting a new one haha

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@Milly-gf4jj I looked it up to get an idea. Do you mean the grill that covers the speaker cone is rattling? You can just take that off if so

[@itaiitai8960]

ever sense i installed my 10 inch screen i felt less power from my stock speakers, how to fix it ? and why it happened ?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Check the settings on the head unit, also the stock speakers aren’t great. Well worth upgrading

[@jasonkenny6432]

Do these cars all use the standard connection that is sent with the stereos?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Most of them, but some of the later Bluetooth ones have a different plug

[@harryharlow1691]

Could you drop a link to the new screen?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Sorry I don’t have a link, but it came off eBay

[@Pendif]

Does it matter that the battery is still connected or not ?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Not really mate, it’s usually safer to disconnect the battery when doing electrical work but most are just plug and play so can’t really be shorted out or anything anyway.

[@LabFan369]

YES 😎

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

YES

[@mickenoss]

14:22 ...first time I took a peek behind that panel they all jumped out somewhere down behind the dashboard. 😂 I don't even know what the little gits are called to replace them lol.

[@kizmestar]

Great channel stupid bloke. Have a 107 that's been sitting in the driveway for a year and a half. Decided to fix it up to sell. All your videos have been invaluable for the project. I'm strangely actual finding myself getting quite attached to the thing the more time I spend with it. Had a pretty decent Xtrons head unit from my own car. But it's a 10.1 inch so it sticks out even more than yours. When the high beam in locked on your can only just get a finger behind it 😂. But it's not coming out now. Keep the vids coming.

[@abimbolayt]

Also, I don’t know if you’re able to help, but every time I turn the ignition off and on the Pioneer Unit does a full hard reset?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@abimbolayt swap the red and yellow wires over. They should be on bullet connectors half way up the loom if you’re using an adapter. If you’re plugged straight into the car wiring, you’ll have to cut and join to swap them there. I can’t remember which colours off top of my head but I’ll suss it out later for you if you need

MVH-390BT. It’s not a current model but there are a lot of similar spec Pioneer to choose from

Not this one. The one in my BMW is similar but a slightly higher spec and that has dab but I’ve never wired the antenna for it in

I was wondering whether anyone could help, I've got the same set up in my citroen c1, I wanted to wire a sub in, I got all my wires in the right place, and the amp turns on but there's no sound coming out of my sub, I think it might be something to do with the remote wire, I have it plugged into the lighter blue cable on my iso harness, but im not sure, any help would be greatly appreciated

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Hi mate. Some remote wires only put out the 12v when the radio is on as it’s actually an output for the electric aerial on a lot of stereos. I had the same issue, I wired mine to a switch on the dash in this video

You might be onto something there 🤔

[@JustMyFish]

I think this is a bit of a downgrade. The last head unit had the capacity to be GPS SN 3G/4G call answering dash cam reverse cam and sensor. IMO It would have been better to put an amp under the passenger seat for better sound. Not knocking you though it’s what you want that matters.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

I know what you’re saying. The big head unit had a lot more features but sometimes it’s about doing one job well. This one does do call answering etc but obviously not all the other features. It’s like some of the best home audio amps are the most basic functionality, but does it well.

[@JustMyFish]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yeah it’s what suits you best that matters anyway mate. My car is Toyota Yago 2014. I’ve been slowly upgrading it. I’m looking at getting the Sony XAV-AX3253 it’s the one with the vertical screen. It’s £355 but it has all the bells and whistles satnav full GPS tyre pressure sensors Reverse parking sensor reverse camera not that I would use that dash cam. And I like the way it folds away when the engine is off, but you start the car and it comes out of the middle of the unit and extends pretty cool.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@JustMyFish yea that sounds like a nice system. There’re a lot of nice double din head units but all of them are worth more than the car! Main thing that used to dislike about the Android one I took out was how slow it was and it always came on dead load as soon as a turned the car on no matter what volume I had it on when I parked up. This is after I switched the yellow and red wired so the memory was allegedly working 🤷‍♀️
