Re: Radio lcd fades when the car is hot

I had the same problem. I took the radio apart and cleaned all the contacts between screen and the body of the radio. It made no difference. You can get replacement screens but for the price and inconvenience plus the cd player was also dying I decided to get an Android Head Unit. Screen replacement...

Re: Nissan quashqai 2012

For my 2012 I got one online from The Wheel Shop. https://www.thewheelshop.co.uk/ Its a 16 inch wheel complete with jack and wrench and fits in the space intended for it in the boot. The only thing you need to watch out for is the lifting height of the jack. Its too low to completely free the wheel ...

Re: Android Stereo

Understood. Since my OEM radio was on its last legs I just wanted a basic replacement but couldn't find one. So saved the pocket money and went for this.

If you find a cheaper alternative let is know just for interest.

Just installed an Android Head Unit on my 2012 J10 1.5dCI

I eventually got my Android Head Unit installed and up and running on my 2012 J10 1.5dCI. Not exactly a seemless process considering its marketed as an OEM replacement but then I expected this to be the case. The unit is this one from Audiotechdirect (https://audiotechdirect.com/pba-ni7936u-android-...

Re: 2012 1.5DCI Timing Belt Change

If your capable of doing it then well done you. I got mine changed (J10 2012) at our local garage. About £600 including a service and done in one day or less.

Re: stereo upgrade 2009 1.5 dci

Hands free calls made. Music on phone plays through head unit at the touch of a button. Thousands of setti...

Re: stereo upgrade 2009 1.5 dci

I doubt it. It just says in the description - 'Support Rear View Camera input and reverse trigger Control'.

Re: stereo upgrade 2009 1.5 dci

My replacement stereo is in the post and due this week. I'll let you know when I have it installed and how easy/hard it is to do. Apparently although its from Audiotechdirect it would look like its this model from Erisin.... at least the pictures and description are the same. https://www.erisin.com/...
