amzn.to/3StqadX

@@OppositePengui yes kept it every now and then we used to swap it over to set the time or something i forgot but it useful to keep

You right thanks for the help 😎

Some buttons do some dont will need a canbus adaptor to make all work

12v cigarette lighter

@@clairemallin3290 have u tried another cd

Thanks ranvir bossman

MrWaheedulHaque no problem

Thanks boss and i can't seem to be able to find it anywhere online, maybe possible to find it on facebook marketplace or something but brand new im not able to find this one anymore

@@MrWaheedulHaquequick question boss would this fit in any car?

@@L3MZ__ yes most cars will fit fine, the size is called double din

Jvc radio

@@antwonwill12 just take off the surround and pull it out

It should be in description brother i think its a jvc i cant remember

Yes steering wheel controls worked fine but i did have to use a plug and play harness to make it work

@@scotty1004 Power Yellow = permanent 12+ (memory) Red = switched live (ignition) Brown = earth Speakers Yellow/ brown and yellow = front right speaker Blue/brown and blue = front left speaker White/brown and white = right rear speaker Green/brown and green = left rear speaker

Thank you that's exactly what I needed to know 👍👍👍👍👍

@@scotty1004 No problem my friend, please help me out by subscribing to my channel

Did you attach the red wire to the cigarette lighter wire

@@scotty1004 you can put it to that but recommend wiring to ignition if you know how to

Yeah bro same car, just need to buy a astra double din cage, unless you already have that in place

amzn.to/48YNB7l

Should be in description

Try a orange pick tool or a flat head screwdriver

Yes you can

You cant unfortunately, the only way is set it on other system then put new one in

@@MrWaheedulHaque but it loses power when you change it so time resets

Thats strange ours worked and kept the time, well the other options would be find a connect 2 adaptor and get the steering wheel controls to work with your new stereo then u can set it like that, or you can just wait till 12 at night and take off the battery and reset the time that way so it will be on time

@@MrWaheedulHaque the steering wheel controls change things on the unit sort of

Not unless you doing some wiring

Nope didnt need to

Yes button worked as we had wiring adaptor for it

Nope it stays on whatever page it stays on when u change radio

Unfortunately no unless you get one that works properly with the buttons without adaptor

@@MrWaheedulHaque so is there an adapter which can be installed?

@@majgi130 yes i believe its a connects2 one

Thank you for your help, you were extremely helpful. I will tell my electrician about this, might get back to you for more help if its not a problem! Cheers!

@@majgi130 no problem boss

Double Din

@@MrWaheedulHaque 6.8" inches?

Nobody uses inches to measure on the standard is single din or double din

Yeah bro same interior

It came seperate so you have to buy that seperate

What it be the same fitting for a vectra c

You just need a double din cage for the astra vectra its same trim yes

@@MrWaheedulHaque you say on youre video you get cage with it if not can you send me a link to which cage and also what cable for antenna adapter please thanks

@@zombiekingmonthen1504 amzn.to/3m3pNad amzn.to/3dfDdfq

180mm*103mm but you should use the universal measurement which is double din

MrWaheedulHaque thanks mate

MrWaheedulHaque also can you please link the adapter used? Would very much appreciate that thanks

I assume you mean the wiring adaptor, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252587417208 This is that, but you will still have to a tiny bit of wiring, which i honestly cant remember how to do, but theres a lot of forum posts available online that teach it easily

Do you have a link for the surround infill? Cheers

What do you mean by you want to put radio in, radio cable or change display to a radio

@@MrWaheedulHaque i want to put in an aftermarket double din radio for example like dual,kenwood ect.

@@diamontedane9656 yes that will work fine

@@MrWaheedulHaque so will the factory screen above where the radio go still be hooked up for do i have to buy a separate wiring harness? Do you know by chance

@@diamontedane9656 should work fine with factory harness but might need a seperate harness if steering wheel buttons dont work if you have that but that you will only find out after buying the stereo and fitting it

What do you mean, the indicator on outside or do you mean the time it stays on after you press the stalk

@@MrWaheedulHaque the time it stays on when the stalk is pressed, it pretty much goes off straight for me.

Really thats very odd, ours stays on until you turn steering wheel, are you sure you pressing it down all the way, as theres one feature where if u press it lightly it signals say left 3 times then cancels out this is used for lane changes, try put a lot of pressure on and see if it stays on, might just be a faulty switch in the stalk

Try it and let me know if it not that then have a look at this forum seems a common fault on astra h, but the two we had have been fine guess we got lucky haha, www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/threads/frequent-indicator-problem-only-flashing-once.271058/

@@MrWaheedulHaque I made a post on that website but no one has got back to me. Do you know where I can get a replacement?

Display doesnt work at all anymore with this system some systems will work with it but this one just doesnt, as far as the steering control buttons go, only the change song buttons works

needs this.. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CTSVX002-2-Vauxhall-Astra-H-Mk5-04-10-Steering-Wheel-Control-and-AERIAL-ADAPTOR/381764166490?hash=item58e2eae35a:g:~vQAAOSwFdtX0Yzm to use the factory steering wheels control on aftermarket radio, also keeps the display functions with aftermarket radio...allowed to change time n date, trip computer etc...

This is the radio amzn.to/3qtqDOA And this is the newer model if you want to take a look at that amzn.to/3oRX9JO

@@MrWaheedulHaque is the newer model better in any way like sound quality etc or is it just aesthetic

@@dadee5890 mainly aesthetics and better bluetooth technology

@@MrWaheedulHaque Can you recommend a product for ambient lighting to install in the same astra

By ambient do you mean like led strip for footwells?

Yes same car haha just different badge

I have a Saturn Astra xe from Canada will this work

Yes this is pretty much same car as ours

Damn man

I cant really remember but if i guess i would say ignition

Yeah i just went an checked its wired to ignition

How do you wire it to ignition

Fuse box find ignition fuse and use fuse tap make sure to add a extra fuse into this loop

The one i got is out of stock but this is very similar, have a look at it see if its good for your needs, amzn.to/3m7zraZ

Im not too sure bud if you can

You probably need to buy a car amplifier to get nice sound to them high powered speakers either that or upgrade the speaker wires

@@MrWaheedulHaque would upgrading the head unit work

@@gavin9873 it would make it better but i dont think any headunit has enough power to power a 600w speaker, easiest thing to do is wire a small amp in under glovebox out of sight out of mind haha

@@MrWaheedulHaque that would work 😁..I am just looking to upgrade speakers without having to add amplifier so I think I will return them for a pair of 300w ..thank you for the info

@@gavin9873 i think so you will have to check the specs

It does look like you have the same old system like us so probably

Thanks

Yes this has bluetooth

This is the radio amzn.to/3qtqDOA And this is the newer model if you want to take a look at that amzn.to/3oRX9JO

No problem g

Thnks bro 👌👌

ignition

What you mean it reads either date time or mpg

@@MrWaheedulHaque great thanks

Yes but its disabled by the stereo one so have to use stereo aux

What?

hola con autoradio original se puede ver la temperatura del motor con ese nuevo tanbien se puede ?

sí, todavía puedes ver la temperatura del motor, simplemente ya no puedes configurar el tiempo

Hi how can i see engine temperature.

You cant you have to set it to screen before installing new screen otherwise you have no control of that tiny acreen

Just buy wiring kit already done for you just plug and play i think someone commented one with link in the comments somewhere

i have the red wired to the ignition you will have to run a long wire to it, your 12v socket should switch off when car is off, if it doesnt then thats a bit weird haha. Other thing i can thing of is some sort of cutoff switch but thats a headache might as well just try do it to the ignition

@@MrWaheedulHaque Ok thanks,... that is the weird thing with 12v socket, what a nightmare it was today. Had to install original radio back to a customer's Astra, because of that...

@@susojotaeme our astra doesnt have any power through 12v when car is off, so it justs seems a weird thing on the specific astra u was on. but yeah best to just wire it to ignition as its fused as well

@@MrWaheedulHaque alright I suppose I'll look for some assistance, as I can't figure out how to do it...

No problem

@@D3N15P double din size

That was a pure headache took a very long time and a lot of mistakes as we have little knowledge of stereo electricals. I recommend just letting a stereo shop do it, its pretty cheap and will save you a lot of hassle, otherwise best thing to do is to check online for wiring diagram for your specific radio

MrWaheedulHaque not thanks, I have only one doubt, it was enough for me to see where you attached the yellow button, pos, you see that you don't want to help others

Please explain to me how can i help you with no electrical knowledge as i previously said, and you yourself also have no electrical knowledge, i did it with trial and error so theres not much i can teach you. The best thing is to not mess with it and pay someone who knows what they doing to do it. Like i said its very cheap to do so and doesnt take long. Otherwise you can look online for your exact radio model as all radio wirings are different which is another reason i cant help you regardless, and then look at the wiring diagrams and try do it yourself somehow

my car is the same as yours, same radio, I just need to see, the yellow cable is lighting, and the red cable is positive key, attack the red in the cigarette lighter, and the yellow one? Plsss help me in Italy they asked me a lot of money to connect

Did i not say in video about the cigarette lighter live

😂😂

you get nice radio screen now haha and bluetooth and lighting :p

We know that exists haha

What do you mean haha
