Hello to all


following my order to our "Chinese friends" they sent me a multimedia set (radioandroid)




I disconnected everything, radio and SSD cdrom , but surprise at reassembly

not the right cable and yet I have a few times repeated before ordering with photos!

In short am waiting for an answer that may never come...

Can I use the car without reconnecting the cdrom drive/ SSD and the media center?

No risk of displaying any errors?

thanks

Must have been lost in translation. 😉

I think you can run it with the unit unplugged although @East Yorkshire Retrofits would know. They would have sold you a mib2 high for what you wanted. As said before there is talk on the board about it back in 2018 I reckon on these Android swap outs. Best to view it as an experiment. Probably needs convertor cables or something.

Yes you can use it. It's likely how you'll continue to use it shortly after getting annoyed with the Chinese unit and launching it in the nearest bin

The chipset is probably similar. Mib2s (standard or high... one of them) have the Nexus 7 processors in them but obviously written for the infotainment unit task in Linux ordained by VAG specs of look and feel why the mib2 standard and high although different units have the same user interface. The Chinese units are where Android meets Vag Chinese style. Putting in an Android phone / tablet into the dashboard but without the QA. For Mib3 QA became a mute point as just in time took over 😅...

Chinese products can be like Calafornian wine, tastes awful, with no QA. Remember the stuff I drunk in Hawaii. No DOC QA. This is where you wonder whether Chinese cars are built with screws like you find in the wireless door bells where the heads twist off or whether they will be like HP laptops, Fire TVs etc built well. As the Tavascan heads over here we'll see on the VAG front.

I'm not an expert on Fakra connectors, but I'd guess from what I've seen before that the white connector you label 'USB' is in fact a Fakra Z dual antenna connector.

after searching, I find pink, GPS and blue GPS ?
the white , I wrote USB because I’ve followed the cable that went green the usb sockets ,but I did not see well...
when to the yellow? not clear all this , but not important I think
because all these antenna cables will not be used I think .

the big problems is the main connector , 16 has 20 wires on mine and about 10 wires on the new , not very logical ! without documentation of the car radio (which I’m waiting for ) it’s not easy .

my cable

Chinese always "in silent mode"
I did some research.
the new car radio has its GPS antenna and FM Antenna
what I found, it seems that I can forget
all cables and connectors, of colours,
white (FM radio) / blue (GPS) / yellow, (USB) /
the pink??? I don’t know! ....
Waiting for the response of the Chinese , can I forget these cables?

This picture explains everything. Buy an FM and GPS antenna adapter. Display cables are no longer available. The Chinese part is a display and radio in one. The standard USB is also missing. The dealer is not reputable. Otherwise it would say what is needed for installation.


A small criticism from me. If you want to implement such a project, you should be interested in it and inform yourself beforehand.

thank you for this note Cairus (it will help me )

the seller, under pressure of "paypal" finally offers
to send me a longer cable to connect the multimedia (too short cable because it goes out to the navigation unit that is in the glove box and the screen is more haus in the center of the dashboard!
( 8 days that I explain to him , he answers me every time ,

"it’s good for you" ......")

so, everything seems clear, just a doubt about the thread key1 ,key2 , Ant , and my rear camera that is currently on the vehicle (how to recover the signal? )

I think (not sure) I can forget the cle1, the cle2, the ant! ?....
my rear-view camera, I do not know and the seller answers a shot yes...a shot no to shooting without detailed explanation.
