This Aftermarket Radio Looks STOCK but Hides LOADS of MODERN FEATURES!

I really wasn't sure what to expect with this off brand stereo, but I gotta admit I'm impressed! A few days after installing the head unit my backup camera started going in and out while using the headlights at night. I contacted customer service and they promptly responded and said it's a common issue with german vehicles and the backup light signal that uses a canbus system. They recommended a 19$ harness that fixes the issue and I have one on the way! Once I again I have no affiliation with this company, but I have to give them credit as their customer service is really good. Continue to follow the channel for future updates on the install!

For anyone interested in a shop update/tour I go through everything at the 30:55 mark!

[@STnD0uT23]

I love this guy he explains everything in detail and keeps it simple

[@juantorres-mo7if]

“Fony” 😂👌🏼

[@danielalmendrales4667]

I can’t wait for the Pontiac. I’m dying for that project to be finished

[@groundshakersociety6637]

No project is always finished

[@danielkruckenberg9882]

8months later

[@Ezio11]

That HU looks awesome! I hope you've read my comment when I posted few links for retrofiting these units. Keep it up,this astra is going to be a perfect daily. Cheers!

[@alexehhhh]

Everyone: @chrisfix Me: no, LsxMatt

[@Armelmarcus]

The head unit looks really good. Actually a decent Chinese company that seems to make quality products. Love the shop update, it looks great

[@wanderinggentile]

Love the Astra! I have only seen one other Opel-badged car in the US outside of a show since my last Opel went away. That was 1993 or so. I also love the LS into gen 3. That is the engine that body always deserved.

[@gagt3400]

Enjoying you're channel and I love the garage makeover and the signs/banners! 😎

[@dominizzy9355]

Hell yeah Matt! Can't wait.. I'm just eyeing the swap to be completed so I can do the same 😁

[@jasonpersonette159]

Matt your garage really turned out awesome. Keep up the great videos

[@MASTERoQUADEMAN]

I found you not too long ago, watched your Tahoe videos and didn’t realize you had trans am videos... watched all them since I had a 98 and 02 when I was a teenager. Really awesome watching your videos and I’m stoked to start up the camaro videos. Been saving those for later on. Awesome shop, my brother would be so jealous!

[@GhostRider-ii7tz]

Nice job maximizing the space Matt 👍.I wish I had a garage.look forward to the year.love the channel.💪

[@thevacdude]

This looks pretty cool, makes the car look pretty much stock, like it came with it. They make these for pretty much any vehicle, assuming they can fit. Thanks for the video, Matt.

[@lincolnsampaiobr]

I really love the indication of the radio, I will look into buying one, even with me residing in another country it's very difficult to find one that match the interior of the car, I hope it came working ok, keep the good work on the videos, I really appreciate your work on the cars man

[@mcraige109]

Matt... you did a fine job organizing your shop. Now, no one will be able to get you out of there... lol! Great learning about the after market radio head unit. It was fairly simple. Looking forward to seeing the Trans Am run. I caught the hint about the Tahoe boost 😏🙄 My favorite spot in your organization of the shop was the spot for the Dunkin Donuts cup! Thanx for a great video. ✌😎

[@jasonkocinski2387]

Great content. The upgraded radio looks like a winner. I enjoyed the garage stuff. I have seen garages double the size with No organization and it looks bad . Thanks for the Ideas.

[@idletime]

Wow, thanks for the heads up Matt, that's a pretty nice head unit & I'm glad it's working out well for you 😎 . I recently upgraded the factory cassette deck with built-in 6 disc CD changer that was the premium stereo of the time in my 06' Hyundai Tucson SUV to a really nice Pioneer 200bth dvd touch screen reciever. Since I also have the factory amps I'm upgrading the stock speakers to 300 watt Kenwood recommended by Crutchfield.

[@ScottsFormula350TPI]

Hello. Last spring during lockdown I was able to purchase 1989 Formula 500 with 70k miles. It has 5.7 liter TPI, WS6 package, t-tops, Borg Warner 7.75 in 9 bolt 327

[@quentinc1275]

Hey Matt you should check out a product called "cosmoline rp-342" for the astra. Its a wax based undercoating that does not wash off period. It doesn't trap moisture and rot metal from the inside out like rubber and doesn't wash off like oil. Its a translucent coating and has a clear/amber finish but isn't gooey or messy. Speaking from experience it is great stuff, I've been running it on my crown vic that I brought up to michigan from Tennessee. I drive it year round and there is not a spot of new rust. Try looking up some videos and reviews, that astra will last forever with that stuff. Not to mention, you won't have to deal with rusty bolts 5 to 10 years down the line. Cheers.

[@jwhittredge]

Ok, you get a pass for being gone for 3 weeks. I was worried... But, the navigation and garage update was AWESOME! Well done on the garage. Never seen a cleaner or more organized 2 car garage. Admittedly, im really looking forward to more Trans Am content. Keep up the great content, Matt. Really enjoying it!

[@lsXmatt]

Thanks, and there’s a lot of trans am stuff coming up. I want this car running by or before spring!

[@DYLANTRIES]

Bro ill write you a check right now for that car, love it!!

[@mightyclos1984]

Ok I’ll say it...super jealous. That shop looks great!

[@BigIsleJ]

Loved the chopped banner in the shop!

[@Astra8676]

Matt, great video on the head unit and the shop tour. Don't know if you knew this but on ebay you could have got a reverse camera that is built into one of the rear licence lights. Keep up the good work...

[@Marathon13240]

An hour long video? GOOD 😤😤😤🤘

[@BradHuey1992]

They have my radio for my 08 chevy Silverado and its $399. Gonna save up and definitely get it. Thanks for sharing the website matt.

[@josholson6]

Amazing video! I just bought an 08 Astra and it lead me to your fantastic channel! Any new update on the radio? I'd love to buy this as long as it held up!

[@ScootTootTV]

Another awesome video....keep up the good work.

[@Avi8tor857]

Matt I have a similar radio in my firebird. I installed a USB hub where the old speed buffer box was and have more usb than my new CRV lol. The best thing is get either a bluetooth or usb obd2 adapter and torque app, gives you full scan tools and also live data. Also records dash cam to the radio. One thing I don't like about mine is no physical buttons. You can also get tire monitor system that will work with it.

[@jrodjrxbox]

First and foremost awesome job looks good So always hook up gps even if using CarPlay or android auto it will help phone with gps. also another thing the gps can be under the dash just not behind metal it does not need a line of sight just some advice for anyone 👍🏼😊

[@tsherwoodrzero]

After a few days of driving the Astra, you'll be itching for an android unit in the Tahoe too.I've had a generic double din Android DVD unit in my 97 expedition since 2016 and it's pretty much got the exact same setup with a little Engrish here and there. But for $130, it's been a fantastic investment. Now if only someone made one for my E38 BMW...

[@grantpalm6282]

Damn! Shop looks excellent!

[@M1n7z]

When's Dunkin' Donuts gonna start sponsoring you?!

[@andersonteddy]

As for the Lamp light, its probably from using the reverse wire for camera power. Sends more load to the sensor and trips that warning.

[@Dazzle9999]

A bit all over the place but cool info, , it needs a tilt up function for the screen. I think the reversing camera is not good to fussy to setup and I have a German car, otherwise nice unit if a bit too pricey. Thanks

[@mrphiscal]

Did he say that the tahoe getting boost. ?? Hit the like button just for that mention. ‘!!!!!!!!

[@alexehhhh]

Nice garage bud!

[@alexehhhh]

Not gonna lie I thought the storage unit with all the heat shrink and stuff was rock auto magnets 😂😂😂

[@bigdaddychud]

Looks nice, no fan on the back of that head unit scares me...

[@davebarron5939]

Good video, amazing what the aftermarket has available. Can't wait for the TA vids, sorry, but screw the Tahoe and bring on the Bird! LOL

[@Storuhm]

Hey man, I don’t know if you still reply but where did you get that armrest, because I really like that one. And I love your vids, keep up the good work!

[@davidrutledge6033]

Sum 41 to so 80s music and heavy thumbs on steering button's raw vid very detailed thanks for video helps on wifes Malibu

[@drivexyz2297]

i have the same opel, nice car man :))

[@jrodjrxbox]

Nice job

[@franciscovillegas9393]

Nice set up Matt, what blue ‘color code’ is that on the cars?

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Thats interesting. My wife has a Astra H and she said to me she wanted a modern stereo unit. But wow 600 USD.....

[@ryanmacewen511]

Dude, that is a sweet unit. Gratz! Looking for something Android for the 2005-2008 Audi A6's. Android is like the only option, as is China origin. lol. A little scary because reviews are scarce and prices are a bit high.

[@thumper2692]

Hey man have you looked into any tuners for these saturns? I have an 08 astra xr and love it but it could use just a little more power I can’t seem to find much info for our cars for tuners

[@r.weaver3769]

Argh, doesn't support my Steering Wheel Controls. Damint, almost. I really like the looks too.

[@nachoborracho81]

Wonder if you could change the infotainment screen for a touch screen as well

[@cornelljones8054]

I love watching your videos on your Astra. I have a 2008 Astra and I was wondering if you could send me some information please. I have a code P065E intake manifold tuning valve. I want to replace the sensor but I don’t know where it located and was wondering if you could help me with this issue. Thank you.

[@planixi]

Hello. I just came across your video about aftermarket radio installs and I have a question. I don't know if you still have the car so I don't know if you can answer. But i you can, do you know if you can go into the "hidden menus (fx. engine temperature)" with the aftermarket radio? I have an Astra Twintop and I often use the engine temperature, where you use the "settings" and "bc" buttons to see it. Do you know if you can access the "hidden menus" with the aftermarket radio?

[@jaketimmons9965]

Do you happen to remember the color you picked there are two silver options? I just git this car and would love to have the radio match the interior

[@MrBotyesz]

It did come with multiple screens and navigation units

[@mattm5786]

How’s the radio holding up I’ve been debating getting one for mine

[@steventartamella454]

Can you put satellite XM radio? Thx. Awesome radio :-)

[@Logan_D]

I think It would have been better if you moved the board computer down where the current radio is, and installed a touch screen up top. Those are expensive though. The only reason I don't buy one myself... heh

[@Get_yotted]

On Hyundai’s and Kia’s with a touchscreen headunit they are actually running Android, so there are a few ways to get to the backend and install any APK

[@Dubbs360jr]

Looks sweet! How is the Sony in the Tahoe holding up? Bought the newer one, but noticed I can’t see the screen with polarized sunglasses because of how they built the screen. (Can see fine with my head at a 90 degree angle lol) Do you have the same issue with either this or the Sony?

[@lsXmatt]

The Sony’s been good. And yea I noticed the same thing with certain sun glasses!

[@Gramps83]

That’s was a Saturn logo on the startup screen, not opel.

[@ZaneofAustin]

i didn't know you could install a new one! with all the weird secret menus in the radio i'm kinda scared to touch it

[@ZaneofAustin]

so can you still check you engine temps? and dash data?

[@agarcia4271gaming]

You don't need Google play to update KZbin. Just look up KZbin apkmirror and download the latest version, NOT beta, without the bundle, and install it through file browser.

[@radioflowers]

Since it runs Android I could make it look how ever I want it to, I could even make it look more factory if I wanted

[@aKuBiKu]

IMO it's better to upgrade to a stock radio like the CDC 40 Opera and add a UWA module. That is a lot more work than this though, but I reckon it feels a lot more natural in the car than this big-ass screen coming out of nowhere. Minus is that it doesn't support AUX, so maybe a DVD100? Then again, the DVD 100 doesn't get map updates anymore so going stock is a dead end in these cars, quite sad as I find the stock stereos really nice.

[@Leatherkid01]

Its probably for use on an opel or vauxhaul v3rsion Astra 🤔

[@sKoutzyy]

03:54 that's what she said

[@dsclaiborne31]

Do you not have the 04 tahoe anymore?

[@rici_21]

Do you think astra h gtc 1.9 (150 hp) is good engine ?

[@omarzowila]

Where is Tahiti the Z71 Tahoe?

[@gav2159]

So I have a 2014 Kia optima with the Navigation Factory head unit the climate controls are tied into it Like there’s buttons for it on my dash but when I change the temperature it comes up on the screen is there anyway I can replace the head unit and get Apple CarPlay but still keep my climate control

[@Thuisbezorgdd]

Hello, what is the color name of the radio? I want this radio too, but Dont know he color

[@Marobros23]

Where’s tahiti

[@lilart13ab]

Which 1 should I get for my 2017 honda accord sport or if u could send me a link.

[@lsXmatt]

Check out the website link in the description. They offer radios just like this for multiple makes and models.

[@lambrinos]

Nice covid beard! Cheers Matt

[@paulr3237]

Where did you buy the new Opel steering wheel center pad?

[@lsXmatt]

I came across it on ebay. It was just the cover and it reused my airbag.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

I will admit, I did not watch the video all the way through. But were you able to get the Opel logo to pop up on startup?

[@lsXmatt]

It came up once on the first boot up but not again. It turns on really quickly even after powering it down so I have no idea how to get it back up.

[@aKuBiKu]

Hold on, what's going on here? A button for turning of ESP? A button for the passenger airbags? What is this sorcery? This sort of stuff was never originally in these astras. Are these some sort of weird mods?

[@nitrous07me]

Oh noooo it’s a “sat-turd” 😂 I’m sorry I had a bad electrical problem one one of those, same color & everything

[@glutten1386]

Please get back to the Pontiac’s

[@lsXmatt]

Im on it

[@jackdanulsprime2077]

LOL! Jailbroken. No such thing in the Android community. It's called Rooting. But this head unit isn't going to be Rooted. And as far as functionality, Android is capable out of the box to do way more then any iJunk.

[@camaromike82]

LOL@ turns down volume for SUm41 Copyright strike, but inserts pirated CD of Sum41.

[@lsXmatt]

Is it a pirated copy? I got it from goodwill for a buck because I didnt have the fm transmitter and I wanted music driving back from ct. It looked legit to me😂

[@Silent_Ivan]

Oof

[@adamhayes1958]

I like your videos but once you said sum forty one I'm out.
