[@CodfishCatfish]

Brilliant video and straight to the point instructions. Clear from first second to the last. Why can’t more KZbinrs follow your example.? Myself included!!??

[@Edniper]

Thanks for the video. Perfectly filmed and explained everything in detail. Installed it without any problems.

[@thomashenryirvin]

Sir, you are an absolute legend. Thanks to you mine was fitted in the dark in less than 30 mins. Amazing - thank you.

Einstein would not be able to do this, but you did it, congratulations!

Thanks for posting this video. Worked a treat yesterday when I swapped my nissan juke stereo over.

I installed mine yesterday with the help of your video, can't believe it was that easy to do!! Thanks to your video I had it installed in 40 minutes!! Thanks a million!!

[@iceze]

Np, let me know your thoughts too.. I'm mid editing a review so all input is welcome.

[@jerryz.5280]

Did you use the microfone or the Nissan installed one?

[@nwzz]

​@@icezeThank you so much for your video, your details are very clear even if I don't have the same radio I understood how to adapt. I have questions: -for the accessory cable where did you brought it ? -you plugged aux in with aux out, I did aux in with aux in but it's work too I'm little confused.😅 -there is wire in aux plugged on the radio side, do we have to do link to a cable or it can hold like that ? Regards from France

[@craigmorfitt7990]

Thanks for this very useful video. I have a newer model of the Sinosmart, so the connections are in slightly different places, but I was able to get it installed in 90 minutes by following this step by step. Great job!

Glad it helped. You must have the newer 2k screen model.

Job Well Done, a nice clean install, very interested in the head unit, will you be doing a overview video of the software and show us the head unit in action?

[@AnarchyCars]

You make it look easy, I started on mine but got a bit overwhelmed by the shear amount of wires.

[@iceze]

Just go one step at a time mate before you move on to the next. Don't overthink it but be careful and you'll be well pleased after you fit it 👍 PS Join the group and get help if you get stuck in any way.

Hello mate. Did the action buttons on the steering wheel work normally with this equipment?

Hello great video. Any update video after a months of use. Also can you still use the steering wheel controls with the head unit. Thanks

Did you ever find a solution? My track forward and back steering wheel buttons are switched after installing the radio

Hi, thank you so much for your video!! It works great. I have a question: the message’s language when using the parking camera appears in, I think, Turkish, but the rest of the radio is in English, including the factory menu. Any suggestion on how to fix it ?? I have tried with the language setting in the factory and outside menu

[@pishilisn8]

hello. thank you for the video. helped me a lot. just a question. the brown cable we removed the first goes somewhere? thank you

[@iceze]

The brown wire is your DAB radio antenna. If you get the optional DAB module and connector, you would plug it in here.

[@pishilisn8]

@@iceze thank you so much again! 30-40 minutes it was ready!!

Hi mate AWESOME Video and help guide ! Is there anything you would change or do differently and how’s it been since you installed it ? Any issues ? Many thanks

Hi I installed this unit yesterday and the Nissan logo at start up does not work.also I cannot get the theme you show on video.On opening front door it comes up on screen that the rear door is open? Any ideas please mate as you know what your doing.Thanks stay safe

Anyway to make 360 camera work?

[@ianpeacock2871]

What a brilliant tutorial,I fitted mine today and followed your guide,for some reason I didn't get both mini usb only one full size USB with a 6pin connecter,anyway I continued with everything else except fitting it back into dash,I switched it on but was unable to find any FM stations,so I'm thinking this must be down to not having the mini usbs installed..any advice greatly appreciated

[@iceze]

Seems they have changed the USB extension to a single. Tbh I didnt need even the 1 extra USB(never fitted), especially when your centre console one works too. If FM isn't working, make sure the FM antenna hasn't popped out. There no latch on it. Give it a reboot too and try again.

[@ianpeacock2871]

Thankyou I will re check the connection and try the reboot to see if I get any joy

[@ianpeacock2871]

Reboot did the trick got radio now 👍

[@fupidstuck]

Out of interest, do you still have this head unit in the car and how well does it work 2yrs on(if you do)?

[@Andy_Quest]

Great video! Any chance of seeing it in action and your thoughts on it and the software after you living with it a few months on? 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Can you still access the 360 camera without putting the car in reverse?

Fantastic video. Really clear and well put together. I’ve followed your link on the qashqai forum- is it £108? I can’t find a section to add a comment for the free additional bits. You advised . Was there any wires that don’t come included that I should order. 2018 tekna with Bose. Thanks in advance

Everythings included. I recommend getting the 4GB ram+ models. Just send them a message before ordering

[@kakakarim]

Bought a similar unit.. weird issue with the phone app always popping up when I am using CarPlay and press the break all the way or has a bit of

[@Kopp203]

The brown fakra z connector for the DAB. Do you of any issues using these with the usb DAB adapters that you can get for these android head units? The usb adapters state 5v active antenna voltage and I cannot find any information about what active voltage the Nissan fitted DAB aerialS use. I am hoping it's as straightforward as buying another male-to-male adapter cable, like you used for the GPS.

[@MrMaster2k]

Great video, I am however curious to know if the "Parking Assist" function is still available on the new head unit?

[@iceze]

Yes Park Assist does work.

[@mikes3463]

How do we acces it?

Tried this yesterday but my cars connectors are different with only 1 fitting. The pin outs are all different and after plugging the only fitting plug in, the fuse for audio in my car blew (found this out when I put the original screen back in and it didnt turn on) Any ideas on where I can find an android unit that has the right harness for my car. It's the same shape as yours, (2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3 DiG-T 160 N-Tec) Any help would be appreciated!

[@R.E.HILL_]

Wonder how one would hook up Focal Impulse 4.320 to that.. being the 4 channel output from sinosmart uses two rca connectors for four speakers..?

[@numpty931]

Thanks for this video, super helpful when fitting. Are you aware of any fixes for microphone issues? Neither my internal or external mics work for voice control/phone sadly.

Did you find a solution? After installing the after market radio my microphone stopped working. I ordered a new one from Amazon I hope it fixes the issue

[@j-rob2856]

My unit I bought through your link. I have the 8 core 64g model. My wires are slightly different. I don’t have AUX out L etc. I have audio out L and R I also have a cable that says back camera. Do you know how I set it up so my 360 camera and PA will work? Many thanks

[@jam-88]

Hi I came across your video and it's a fantastic tutorial so thankyou. I do have a question, I retrofitted a mmi in my BMW and the audio output was via aux which affected the sound quality compared to stock. Next week I will be getting a Qashqai and I wondered if this mmi uses the same output or does it use the factory speakers input to retain the orginal sound quality? Thankyou

[@iceze]

It'snhas its own amp and is a stand alone system so you won't have any issues like that.

[@jam-88]

@@iceze thankyou for your speedy response. How frequent are the OTA updates and have you faced any real issues with it to date? Is it a torx screwdriver required for the installation and if so, which one? Also does the rev camera/360 operate exactly the same as stock with guidelines/moving etc?

[@andreivajea7515]

So the 360 camera will only work in reverse? That's not cool. Can it be popped up on demand like it was using the camera button?

Great video, it really helps, when I touch the button on the steering wheel or when the car is in reverse it seems that the camera app freezes and I have to switch off the car, do you know a fix for this? do I have to upgrade firmware or is it something else? I did switch the camera to NTSC in settings to get a good image. I also connect a dab+ USB adapter to the head-unit and it starts immediately to play, is there a way to switch that off?

Well explained 😊

The time is taken from the head unit. So just setup there. For steering control, make sure the 8pin connector is plugged in.

having a strange issue with Navigation. Whichever app is set to default navigation Maps or Waze, when launched no sound on navigation when sound set to "mixing". it's like it's trying but no sound comes out. if I launch either app from app drawer, I get sound but not mixed sound. it just plays over whatever is playing in background. any ideas how to fix.

Hello, was wondering if you can help me, I wanted to had a underseat sub which also uses rca cable, so if AUX L OUT and AUX R OUT sends single from andriod unit to AUX L IN and AUX R IN to send out sound to car speakers what do the other two cables on the 20 pin do?

Yes, it is late editing... I shot like 2hrs of video to edit quite a while back. Work and irl hasnt left me much time. I will probably have two parts as it feels a little long still. Hopefully 1st half should be up before tomorrow. I'm definitely interested in other people's opinions too! I've added a forum link and facegroup link. feel free to give everyone reviews or ideas.

Speed limits will still work on the vehicle information display. It comes with the canbus as package, so there's no need to order something different. You wont have any extra features on another canbus, as its not manufactured by either company and it may very well be the same one!

Did you have to do anything with grounding the unit? I’ve installed 2 after market units into my xtrail and both have hissing coming from the speakers.

No, nothing. If you have BOSE, It may be to do with how the amps work together. You could try to flat EQ it, or slightly lower it out of the headunit.

Hi, do you have any experience with battery saver? With original navi system, when motor shutdown. The radio plays until driver doors are not opened (max 10 minutes ). This one stop playing immediatelly.

Thats correct. All the android units are made this way. One work around is to quickly tap the start button on your car to put the car back into accessories after turning off your engine.
