Technical Fiat grande punto sat nav GPS multimedia headunit

I give up,its nearly flush so that will do lol

I have a feeling it could be a trapped wire stopping from going all the way back but i cant get the device back out again to have a look haha

I will try that glove box idea like.
 
I can't believe your having that much trouble with it pal. It took me no time at all. It is hard to get it flush I had to take it out about 3 times after taking it out to install a reverse cam.

Cheers for ya help today mate, I got it almost flush, Bit of a protruding gap at the bottom and a few scratches where i was forcing it in with screwdriver but those are easily sorted and they are very light, but looks good overall. :-D I also realise car could do with a dust haha

So I'm thinking about buying the stuff to be able to display tv on the head unit. I've contacted the seller and he says he can see me a box for £50 with shipping that I connect to the unit.

I'm thinking there must be a cheaper way. Anyone have any ideas?

thing is though mate the dtuff he has is for analogue TV, In the UK we use digital tv so i dont think it would work.

Oh I know he sells a analogue one that won't work. But he also sells a digital box, it needs to be wired into the cars electrics and then links to the head unit.

If I could find out the specs of it I'm sure I could find it cheaper :p
 
Hello,

I took the plunge and ordered one of these stereos and fitted it today!! First impressions it's a cracker!! Well impressed with it. I added the reverse camera and the wireless receiver for it, my question is, how does the camera get power?

Also my other question is I put an .avi movie on an sd card and tried to play it but I couldn't see the picture? Could just hear the sound but no video? Any idea what format it needs to be?

Thanks
 
So how many of you guys have gone and bought one of these? And how many recommend doing so? It's so tempting ?

I ordered it mate, (pictures above) had a bit faff on with mine but well worth it, Makes the inside of the car look much better, works well.

My only gripe is my Blue tooth doesnt auto connect to my phone, i need to put pin in everytime i start car but i'll get used to that.
 
Anyone had an electrical burning smell not long after they installed there stereo? Switched off the stereo and the smell went away? I took the stereo out but couldn't see any wires that had melted or that?

Can't say I've ever had that and mines been in almost 3 months. Maybe check that you've not jammed a wire somewhere behind it? There is a lot of wires after all

Yeh I tried that mate but couldn't find any wires jammed, you can only really smell it when you open the glove box.
 
Maybe try changing the fuse in the back if the unit? If that doesn't work you'll have to contact the seller. I know they come with buyers protection.


Yeh I'll try that when i get home mate, I've messaged the seller and he said "it might be of the wires of the car" not sure exactly what he means

If it's only just started since you installed the unit it's not your car. If you bought it from the same place the rest of us did then you have buyers protection. If he refuses to sort it open a dispute and the website will sort it for you.

How much you paid for it ?
Any Import Tax ?
Works With Android ?
 
Me too but i worried it wont fit in my Grande 2006 1.2 ? and what about battery hunger ?


I've got a grande active 1.2 2006 and it fits and works no problem. It did smell a bit at the start but it's fine now. Must have just been because it was new.
