General New Radio

[JonnyT5]

Hello all,
I have a 2013 Fiat Scudo van and my radio does not work, I’m looking to upgrade it to a new Bluetooth model or even a fancy CarPlay radio, has anyone done this or can anyone point me in the right direction of which to purchase?

I see thousands online but nothing ever seems to fit a 2013 Scudo van,
Thank you for your time

By the by? as in a simple 1 din radio will fit, I’ve seen a 1 din with a screen that opens out and gives Apple CarPlay, i also saw someone on YouTube cut the plastic bit off in the middle for a big screen, but don’t want to do that really.

It doesn’t work as in when the radio is in it constantly beeps, the owner before me said the radio came out or battery came out and it needs resetting or something but i have no idea with this stuff,

Thanks for your reply

No probs , I thought it might have been completely dead or something.
It's probably also asking for a code too?

It doesn’t ask for one but i guess that’s what it’ll be but I want a Bluetooth radio anyway to hook to phone

AKA ‘incidentally’ I’ll take it as just a 1 din radio will be fine haha, will that sort the beeping out then?

I'm not fully familiar with the vehicle, but it's sometimes down to a different headunit being fitted ** , often the vehicles computer needs to be told what headunit is present (or rather the head unit needs to be told what vehicle it's in) - ** if it is the original headunit sometimes that 'connection' is lost and needs resetting.

just last week we fitted a new radio from a 2009 wreck into our 2009 scudo, it didn't ask for a code but it did beep incessantly at us. we fixed it using an eeprom programmer to write the correct vin to the radios memory, all without desoldering the m24c64 eeprom chip.
