Xtrons Android Headunit

[Jasonsmith1989]

I've just purchased an Xtrons headunit to go into my Mk2 Leon. Wondering if anyone know's any extra items I will need to install it? The link to the unit is here: http://xtrons.co.uk/te706pl-android...b-rom-multimedia-receiver-with-7-display.html

Well you'll need the fascia adaptor for a start, then if you want DAB radio or the reversing cam you'll need to purchase those modules along with it.

Thanks, I know about the fascia was just thinking more along the lines of wiring harness / wiring adapters needed.

Yea you'll need adaptor cables for the Ariel and the power multiplug as the SEAT used quadlock and Fakra not ISO connectors.

Thanks for the info, will this do the trick? https://www.halfords.com/technology...s-adaptor-ct20vw02?_br_psugg_q=vw+iso+harness

I'm clueless with this stuff, the last radio I replaced was a single din back when bluetooth and touch screens didn't exist.

The Xtrons 9" Android unit I bought a couple of years ago is for the Mk2 Leon and related cars so everything required other than the fascia was in the box.

I've tried installing today and I cannot get it to power on.

I recall no issues like that, the only thing I had to do which was a slight pain was routing an ignition controlled live to the aerial amplifier

From reading online more I think I may need a CANbus Box does that ring any bells?

Attached to the loom was at least one plastic rectangular box, in the latest version of the one I have on the Xtrons site I see this in the kit that comes with it, is yours not a Leon (and related cars) specific model?

 

[Jasonsmith1989]

No mine isn't a leon specific one. The old unit powers on fine but the new one nothing. Trying to find an auto electrician but struggling to find in that replies.

Been a while... but this is the guy who did my stereo, subwoofers in two cars, tracker and a couple of electrical niggles / wiring. Usually replies pretty quick, is mobile, but depending on how far away you are from his 75 mile radius may charge more.

I've found a guy locally who is going to take a look on Sunday. I've given up trying

Be careful buying facia as two available....the standard double din and the larger opening one for the 7 screens....as just done?.lol......so double check before buying....mine was only 11 quid off ebay and perfect fit.....

 

[fozzybear]

if struggling have the connector spare as facia came with specific wiring for leon but got with stereo....if want it you can have...will save you paying for install ....let me know and i can send it...as no need of it and was going to bin,

 

[fozzybear]

Double check if stereo you bought has leon mk2 listed.....if not you will definately need either wiring with canbus box in loom though other is radio needs ignition in 1st position to power....

Thanks for the heads up, I have just purchased this from ebay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/352425661805 along with the outer fascia surround. Hoping this will do the trick, will wait and see when it turns up if I've got the right bits

 

[JohnnyMackers]

Hopefully install goes well, I'm after changing my head unit out too, keep the thread updated with pics too, like to see it installed

I,ve finally got it installed. The xtrons unit seems to have alot of wires so I ended up having to take out the climate control above and stuff all the wires up there. Had to get an electrician to connect an ingnition live as the standard loom doesn't have one. I will take a pic tomorrow and upload. The final surround doesn't fit that great but I wonder if it's from eBay, the face plate is like 1mm too small so had to force it over.

Yea taking the climate controls and vents out gives you decent access to the unit and to just behind it, actually makes the install fairly simple.
