2 din in the prior instead of the regular one. We install the radio tape recorder in the Prioru. Start. Tips for installing a radio in Lada Priora

Lada Priora is an improved prototype of the well-known "dozens". Modern design and new trim details made this budget-friendly domestic car quite popular among car enthusiasts. But, despite this, each Priora owner strives to improve his car to his own taste, to make it more comfortable and stylish. Often, lovers of clean and high-quality acoustics change the standard audio player for more modern version... Installing a radio tape recorder on a Lada Priora has some features, which you can get acquainted with in this article.

Modern car players are quite functional and diverse not only in their external design, but also in their configuration, method of installation and connection. When choosing an auto player in Prior, you should take into account all the features of its dimensions, the possibility of connecting connectors and the quality of parts.

Features of mounting a radio tape recorder on a Lada Priora

As a rule, installing a radio on the Prioru implies several types of audio players:

• 1 DIN;
• 2 DIN.

2 DIN media player for LADA Priora

These designations mean the dimensions of the hole for installing the radio, which correspond to the dimensions of 180x50x160 mm for 1 DIN and 180x100x160 mm for 2 DIN. If you want to install a more modern version of the 2 DIN radio tape recorder, the car owner will have to carry out the procedure of sawing the partitions of the car's front console in order to expand the hole for the player. In some cases, to adjust the dimensions, it becomes necessary to cut out or purchase an appropriate adapter frame for the console, which is much more difficult than installing 1 DIN.

If, nevertheless, a decision is made to install a 2 DIN standard system, then it is best to entrust the installation work to an experienced specialist, otherwise there is a risk of spoiling both the console itself and the car interior trim.

It should also be noted that DIN standard 2 radio tape recorders have an extensive set of functions:

• long service life due to shock-resistant housing;
• paired amplifiers increase signal reception several times;
• the ability to switch the frequency of the radio signal for all passengers of the car thanks to the Music Zone system;
• built-in radio navigator function;
• built-in USB connector makes it possible to connect external devices to view and play files;
• the presence of a bass amplifier for music for better sound quality.

Do-it-yourself installation of a radio in Lada Priora

In the first case, the installation of a 1 DIN type audio player is considered, which does not provide for changing the shape and parameters of the plastic base of the console. Before installation, de-energize the vehicle by pulling out the negative terminal of the battery.

It is recommended to divide the process of installing a standard audio player into several stages in the following sequence:

1. 1. Preparing the hole for installation. To do this, dismantle the plastic cover covering the niche provided by the manufacturer for installing an audio player;
2. 2. Definition of connectors for connection. The hole for installing an audio player contains several sockets: for gray power connections and for brown speakers;
3. 3. Connecting the player to the car connectors. If the connectors of the audio player and the machine correspond to the ISO standard, it is necessary to connect according to the diagram or through an adapter;
4. 4. Installing the radio in a regular hole. Remove the magnetic frame and install the body into the standard hole in the car console. A small click will occur when properly seated;
5. 5. Activation of the player by pressing the "Reset" button.

The installation of a DIN type 2 audio player is more laborious due to the formation of an appropriate hole size in the Priora console. The installation process is the same as the 1 DIN installation system, the connection is carried out according to the same principle.

Firmware for the head unit Lada Priora

Modern technology is rapidly advancing, improving car gadgets as well. The firmware of the Lada Priora head unit allows motorists to replenish the player's capabilities by adding additional functions that the standard software does not have. The updated radio interface can be supplemented with a convenient touch keyboard, fresh programs and new versions of players with the ability to play all audio and video formats.

The firmware of the VAZ 2170 audio player system is carried out using an SD card with a volume of at least 4 GB, formatted in the FAT system.

The firmware of the Lada 2170 radio tape recorder is quite simple:

1. 1. You need to find a suitable program on the network and save it on your PC. As a rule, such programs are shared by motorists on thematic forums;
2. 2. Save downloaded files to a memory card;
3. 3. Insert an SD card with the necessary information into the provided slot on the radio;
4. 4. Restart the player by pressing the "Reset" button, after which the update program will automatically start. Thus, the firmware goes to the end, as evidenced by the scale on the monitor of the radio;
5. 5. When the firmware is finished, you should take out the memory card and reboot the player, after which you can use the updated interface.

When choosing a program with which the firmware of the Lada Priora head unit will be carried out, you should pay special attention to its description. Various options for updating may include unnecessary and unnecessary features that will subsequently overload the device's memory and lead to slower operation.

You should also choose a program to expand the display of the device, otherwise the firmware will require constant screen calibration. The most optimal solution in the matter of updating the radio software will be to contact the experienced specialists who provide this service. This will help avoid some unforeseen complications when installing the wrong firmware.

Tips for installing a radio in Lada Priora

In order to avoid unforeseen difficulties in the process of installing a radio tape recorder in Lada Priora, it is recommended to use the advice of experienced car enthusiasts:

1. 1. Before installing the radio, it is necessary to study well the connection diagram of media devices. If the connectors of the player are incorrectly connected, there is a high probability of failure of some systems of the car;
2. 2. There are many models of radio tape recorders from different manufacturers. Some of them have individual connectors with an additional adapter included in the kit for the ISO standard. This fact should be taken into account when choosing an audio device for the Lada Priora, since one of the connection options in this situation will be to cut the wires and directly solder them to the wiring of the car;
3. 3. With direct connection of the head unit, you can use special terminals;
4. 4. The ISO audio player connection diagram will remain the same when you replace the radio with a new one.

Do not use twisting and wrapping with electrical tape for direct connection of wires. This type of insulation is dangerous when operating the machine in winter period, since at low temperatures, the adhesive tape deforms and breaks, which will short-circuit the car's wires.

This equipment is supplied without a built-in radio and acoustics, but with audio preparation (with wires routed to the speakers). Most of the radio tape recorders sold in stores can be connected to the removed standard ISO connectors. A dummy box is installed in place of the radio.

I want to say right away that initially I wanted to buy a head unit (radio tape recorder) without disks, but with the obligatory support of USB and SD media. The age of CD / DVD has already passed, and I did not want to overpay for additional filling, which really would not work. Internet searches have shown that most manufacturers are persistently continuing to produce disk devices, albeit with support for cards and USB. Among diskless offerings dominate mainly Chinese manufacturers and there are very few of them. Having compared several devices, I opted for the budget Hyundai H-CCR8086. The standard mounting locations are designed for 13 cm speakers. There was no time to refine the mounting places for a larger diameter, and there were no big musical requests either - the choice fell on the Pioneer TS-1339R coaxial three-cavity speakers, which were purchased in 2 pairs. The package was completed with the purchase of an internal Hyundai H-CA3200 antenna and spare caps for door trim.

I prepared a tool in advance: a flat screwdriver wrapped with electrical tape for removing the trim, a PH2 Phillips screwdriver, a TORX T15 head, a knife, platypus and side cutters.

At first I decided to install the speakers - the rear ones then the front ones. The rear speaker slots are covered with decorative mesh covers.

They are held on latches and removed very simply - just pry them a little with a flat screwdriver.

Under the plug there were wires for connecting the speaker.

To maintain the polarity of the connection, the connectors are made of different widths and correspond to the dimensions of the contacts on the speaker. The set with acoustics comes with special fasteners.

I put on the metal eyelets on the shelf in accordance with the location of the mounting holes and bait them immediately with a self-tapping screw so that when the column is installed in its seat, they do not stick to the magnet. The wires must be connected to the speaker.

I insert the column into its seat, bending the screws to the sides, then screw it on.

You can put on the decorative cover after checking the functionality of the entire system. Work on installing the column on the opposite side is carried out in a similar way. I proceed to dismantle the door trim.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, I unscrew the self-tapping screw in the niche of the door opening handle.

I take out the rubber mat in the niche of the closing handle.

I unscrew the two self-tapping screws with the torx head.

The power window control panel is removed after pressing the latches. Then I disconnect the connector with the wires.

I unscrew the cap of the lock pin. I sink the pin down. It is also better to remove the decorative plastic bezel - this is easy to do by prying it through the inner hole with a screwdriver.

The luxury equipment is equipped with lighting shades at the bottom of the door, which must also be removed by snapping off the latch on the side of the door hinges and swinging the shade down.

Disconnect the lamp power connector.

Moving on to the most interesting thing - removing the skin. After the operations done, she rests on plastic caps. You need to make a certain effort to snap them off. At the moment, a flat screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape will come in handy so as not to scratch paintwork... Better to start from the bottom corners, then move up. At the end, I pull back the door opening handle and slightly feed the trim upward to overcome the lock pin. The above photo shows the location of the caps - it is there that you need to make an effort with a screwdriver in order to remove the trim without damage.

I found the wires for connecting the speaker in the area of ​​the installation site.

Fitting the column to its seat showed that the hole in the door is slightly smaller than the diameter of the column. Bushings suitable size, in order to fix the column at a short distance (about 3-5 mm) from the door, I did not have it at hand. Well, I'll fix the column as it goes. The gradual alternate tightening of the screws made it possible to quite smoothly and firmly fix the column in the installation place. The column mounting lugs are slightly deformed - a consequence of the decision.

I put on the trim in place. I almost forgot to pass the lamp power wire into its hole. I knock down the location of the caps with my fist. I install the power window control panel and the lighting shade. I twist all the screws into place. Similar actions are carried out with the passenger door.

The speakers are installed - it's time to move on to the radio. I take out a decorative blank box. It is held by four latches - you can release them with a flat screwdriver or simply pull the box with your hands towards you.

Factory ISO connectors are stuck in the back of the box. I take them out, drawer to the side.

If you connect the head unit (radio tape recorder) right now, everything should work. I restrain myself from such an impulse - I deal with the gray connector. There are supply wires. Power is supplied to the radio tape recorder constantly, even when the ignition is turned off. This does not suit me - I do not want the radio to plant the battery in the parking lot. In the passport to the radio, I find out that it has two power wires - power from the battery (on all the time) and power after turning on the ignition. After feeding the second - the radio tape recorder can be turned on and starts to consume the standby current. In the standard connector, both contacts are connected together - the radio tape recorder will always consume current, albeit small, on the order of several tens of milliamperes, but still unpleasant. In addition, the contact for supplying power to external devices is not involved - an active antenna in our case. Modification of the power connector is required.

The colors in the above table may differ from those used in the factory block or block for another radio tape recorder - the table is scanned from the instructions for Hyundai H-CCR8086.

Continuous power should be in the 4th pin, the interrupted power should be in the 7th pin.

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid unforeseen situations. I rearrange the antenna power control contact (pin 5) from the connector that came with the radio tape recorder. I take out the power contact 4 - it is connected by a jumper from the power contact 7. The standard power contact 7 (there should be ignition according to the radio's passport) I move to contact 4. I cut the jumper coming from the supply wire to the root - it will come in handy for connecting the ignition to contact 7 It remains to find +12, which appear after turning on the ignition. All that was needed was found next to the connector of the heating activation button rear window- central yellow wire. The button can be removed easily - it is enough to pry it from below with a flat screwdriver.

I pull a wire from there and connect it to pin 7. I check the circuits and carefully insulate the connections.

It's time to install the antenna. I remove the trim of the right pillar - it is attached to the pistons-latches.

There is enough space between the dashboard and the pillar to pass the wire to the antenna.

I stretch the antenna cable under the glove compartment into the radio compartment. I connect the antenna power to pin 5 of the power connector.

Assembling the antenna - everything is ready for testing.

I plug in the radio and make sure everything works.

I fix the antenna according to the instructions. It is important to maintain the distance from the post required to install the skin. I attach the ground wire under the self-tapping screw of the sun visor, passing it under the headliner.

The antenna is installed. Pillar trim in place.

It remains to install the mounting casing in the radio compartment.

I insert the casing, fold back the fastening tabs. I connect all the connectors to the radio.

I insert the radio tape recorder into the casing and push it until it clicks. Work is done.

A small review about the Hyundai H-CCR8086 radio tape recorder and Pioneer TS-1339R speakers.

The speakers surprised me with their sound. Of course, the bass is not enough, which was foolish to expect from 13 cm, but not bad considering the price of the acoustics. The radio has some drawbacks - eating up the first second of the song, lack of support for Russian-language tags, too bright backlighting of the left block of buttons. The last flaw can be corrected by painting over the backlight LEDs with a black marker. Pros - good sound, very fast work with SD card and USB, convenient control and removable panel. The antenna Hyundai H-CA3200 has good sensitivity. Generally satisfied with the installed kit. The cost of the equipment was 4,600 rubles.

P.S. After a year of operation of the kit, which was discussed above, significant shortcomings were identified, which you can read about in

The VAZ plant equipped some of the Prior's machines with a standard head unit, the basic modifications had only preparation for independent installation of equipment. The landing nests are designed for standard products, it is allowed to install 2 Din radio tape recorders in the Prioru of the first generation, but this requires the refinement of the internal elements of the instrument panel.

Installation on Priora of the first generation

To install the car radio in its original place, you need:

1. Disconnect the battery from on-board network car.
2. Remove the 1DIN decorative frame with storage compartment from the center console of the dashboard. The assembly is held in place by plastic latches located in pairs at the top and bottom of the box. Removal is carried out by pulling the part towards you, possibly bending the edges with a plastic assembly spatula.
3. The rear has attachment points for a factory-fitted patch harness equipped with ISO connectors. It is necessary to disconnect the plugs from the drawer, which is then set aside.
4. Connect the pads to the radio and check the operation of the device. On Priora machines from the factory, a constant supply of positive power is provided, regardless of the position of the key in the ignition lock. It is necessary to change the connection of wires, guided by the operating instructions for the head unit. The positive signal given when the ignition is turned on is taken from the rear window defogger button.
5. Route the wire to the external antenna. The cable runs under the plastic cladding of the A-pillars and the roof panel. To reduce the likelihood of noise, the wire is wrapped with fabric insulating tape or foam rubber.
6. Reinstall the removed trim elements.
7. Connect the antenna power from the ISO connector, check the performance of the acoustic device in the radio receiver mode.
8. Place the standard mounting hole in the hole in the center console. The part is fastened with tabs that are squeezed out with a screwdriver. During installation, it is required to ensure the maximum planting density, which will reduce the vibration of the radio while driving.
9. Connect the power, speaker and antenna plugs to the connectors on the back of the head unit. Place the radio in the guide shaft until the locking latches engage. Check the tightness of the installation and then place the decorative frame in place.
