Technical Fiat Panda 2016 radio upgrade

[MZtech]

Hi everyone, I've lurked here for years after owning 3 Grande Puntos over the years, finally signed up
I have a question regarding my wife's Panda

I'm trying to upgrade the radio to an android auto one, I've not messed with car audio stuff for 20+ years so this has me stumped.

The android unit came with a choice of two harness adapters to use but I can't figure out which is the right one.

I've added some photos of the current radio and the new harnesses, anyone point me in the right direction of which to use?

Thanks a bunch.

Just an update, figured out which harness it was in the end, all up and running, works a treat

Just a heads up for anyone who buys a similar unit, you will need a 90 degree angled connector for the ariel lead as it doesn't fit with a standard one.

Is it a decent piece of kit and does the DAB work well?

This model doesn't have DAB sadly, but it was mainly bought for the android auto functions which work perfectly, connects up automatically in 10 seconds or so, wife is very happy to have Waze and Spotify ect running on her very basic Panda. Can't complain for £85.

Does it communicate with your steering wheel controls?. None of my adapted stereos ever did with my 98 Punto, 2005 Stilo, the wife's 2012 Punto.

Even with the adaptor leads for steering wheel controls.

Her Panda doesn't have steering wheel controls, like I say, it's dead basic , supposedly it does, it has a box that plugs in the back that communicates with the cars can bus, so you can see your car info on the radio (mileage, odometer, if the doors are open and such).
