Thanks for this. Gave me the confidence to get stuck in. Successfully reverted back to stock from a 2008 vintage Alpine sat nav. The wife has got to grips with "maps" at last and the display size on her phablet is the same as the old Alpine. Never managed to get good integration between car and the Alpine and the Alpine radio sucked. Happy now. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it's helped. It's weirdly the one panel that's never explained how to remove. I've been looking at fancy radios for a while but always read mixed reviews
@@hiigherthanhell6712 My experience for what it's worth: Alpine INE S900, cost £1,100 back in 2008 to put in an SLK350. The radio was never great but Sat Nav brill and good for hands free phone. Put it in the wife's Mokka in 2016. Professionally installed (because I didn't want to wreck the trim!) using Connect2 interface. Mokka has dab and fm aerial supplies. Alpine only FM. Radio still awful. I'm sure modern 2din units would be great. Car configuration option controls on Mokka were lost as these were on the stock CD450. You could do certain things, like manually adjust the time. Trial and error to figure it out and had to switch off the engine to accept the new time. The Mokka must have its own clock in the front shelf display. This lost time once disconnected from the CD450, 5 minutes per month. Putting the CD450 back in gets us a brilliant radio back, a basic hands free phone and car settings. I spent ages researching after market units. Could not find anything about integrating them with the Mokka. The was no cable splicing with the Connect2 kit. So I wonder if you could buy one of those. Borrow a current 2din sat nav. Temporarily connect everything up and confirm you're happy before you buy the unit and facia plate
Thanks for this, I have the Buick Encore which is the US version of this, same peeling trim piece. Got a new piece for 59$ US. Needed to see how to replace it.
Thanks for showing this, im about to install an android radio into my Mokka and videos are really hard to come by. And dude you should really clean out your car! :D
Not a problem, hopefully more videos to come when I do something very similar. Let me know how yours goes though as it's something Ive been looking into. This is really a work horse so cleanliness isn't it's strong point
I wouldn't of thought so as its an LED strip. Maybe check the connection shown in the video and test for 12v. If not more than likely a fuse. If there is power, check wiring on LED strip
