Recommendations from experts for installing speakers on your Lada Granta liftback yourself


Once, after parking for a week, the car would not start - the battery was completely discharged...

The battery was removed for subsequent charging and the next day the search for the gluttonous culprit began; the current consumption of the armed car for 3 minutes was an indecent 150 mA.

After suspicions from the signaling were removed, it was time to check the radio (Alpine CDE-170RM): 1. Turn on the radio - the current consumption increased to 530 mA; 2. Turn off the radio - the current consumption dropped to the same 150 mA; 3. We remove the radio socket - the current consumption has dropped to a remarkable 40 mA.

It turns out that the visually disabled radio does not turn off completely and consumes as much as 110 mA, which is too much for the settings memory, however.

Of course, you don’t have to bother and remove the panel every time, but it’s interesting to get to the bottom of the problem.

We check the connection of the power part of the radio to section A of the ISO connector - everything is in order, as per the instructions, although it was confusing that when the ignition is turned off, there is + 12V from the ignition switch on the connector contact, which should not be there, we take it out, look and are surprised:

To figure out what’s what, let’s find the pinout of this connector on the Internet and compare it with the image of the connector:

It is worth noting that not all radios are susceptible to this “problem”; some of them can turn off completely even with this connection, so you need to check.

As always, the Internet helps out - after a short search, a simple and elegant solution was found based on two diodes:

To implement this scheme, we will need to run an additional wire to the radio connector. Since the main consumption of the radio comes through the constant + 12V contact from the battery (usually a thick yellow wire), and the 7th contact simply allows it to be turned on (usually a thin red wire), a wire with a cross-section of 0.5 mm2 was pulled from the fuse box, 31 th contact:

For those who are not familiar with the principle of operation of diodes, I made the following picture:

After all the modifications, the turned off radio no longer consumes current, and to listen to music in a turned off car, you just need to perform 3 steps: 1 - Turn on the ignition; 2 — Turn on the radio; 3 - Turn off the ignition.

The Granta in Standard and Norma configurations comes from the factory without a radio. AvtoVAZ did everything to simplify the installation process: it ran the power and acoustic wires, installed the antenna and threw the wire into the cabin. All that remains is to plug in the speakers and head unit. Let's look at how the Lada Granta radio is installed.

Installation of 1 din radio in Grantu standard and norm

What is needed to install a radio in a VAZ 2190:

  • The radio itself is also the head unit;
  • flat screwdriver;
  • Straight arms.

Abbreviations and symbols in the text:

  • GU – head unit;
  • MMS – multimedia system;
  • DIN (din) – installation size for acoustics in a car.

Step-by-step instructions for installing the head unit

  1. a narrow flat screwdriver or plastic spatula for installing acoustics;
  2. 1-din radio with frame.


The seat in Grant is designed for 1 din.
To work with large 2-din sizes, you will need to cut out the partition and install a decorative frame. Step 1 . Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the plastic plug for the radio. To do this, carefully pry it around the edges and pull it towards you.


The placeholder for the radio is installed from the factory.

Step 2 . On the back of the plug there is a mount for ISO connectors. There are two connectors: music power and wires for the speakers.

Step 3 . If necessary, connect an adapter for your radio to the ISO. Usually it comes included .

If an adapter is not needed , proceed to step 4.


If an adapter is needed for acoustics, it is included in the kit. Example in the picture.

Step 4 . We remove the glove compartment. Holding the glove compartment clamps in the upper position, forcefully lower the glove compartment down.

Overcoming resistance, we pull the lid towards ourselves - the glove compartment is removed.


Removing the glove box on a Grant is easy when you know where its latches are located.

Step 5 . We climb under the panel in the area of ​​the front right passenger's feet with a flashlight. Behind the felt on top we find a thick black wire - at its end there is a plug for the factory antenna.

Features of audio system installation

When connecting the stereo system wiring, it is necessary to take into account certain features of the electrical supply. This is provided using red and yellow wires. The first is responsible for remembering the audio system settings, the second is for turning off the radio, which is controlled by the car’s ignition.

It is recommended to use a parallel connection type for both wires so that the audio system can only be turned off manually. In this case, it will not be affected by the car’s ignition key, but there will be a problem of excessive electricity consumption in parking mode, which is solved by installing a special regulator for the red electrical wire. With its help, you can turn off the radio by hardware when leaving the car for a long time. This regulator can be connected to the alarm system, that is, when the vehicle is locked, the audio system will turn off automatically.

Removing the standard radio in Grant Lux

The difference between grants of the luxury configuration: the MMS (multimedia system) installed from the factory. This is a 2 din device.

To remove standard acoustic grants :

  • take a knife or plastic spatula to dismantle the acoustics and disconnect the decorative trims to the right and left of the radio. It is not necessary to take pictures;
  • in the gap between the cover and the panel we find the head unit lock. There are two of them on both sides. Press it out with a screwdriver;
  • we take out the GU on ourselves.

Everything is described in detail in the video:

Replacing the standard MMC in Grant

The process - after removing the acoustics, we install a new system.

Difficulties : you may have to finish the fastenings of the new system for VAZ ones. Plus you need the right frame. The factory MMC frame may not fit.

Have you bought a new 2 din radio, but there is no frame for sale? You can do it yourself . Example at the link.

A few words about the radio of the “normal Kalina-2”

When looking at the “device”, which AvtoVAZ designates with the numbers 2190-7900010-40, it immediately becomes clear that installing such a device in a standard 1DIN compartment will not work. VAZ cars in the “Norma” configuration come from the factory with an empty compartment (its height is 1DIN), and in the “Norma+” radio tape recorder occupies the entire central part of the console. That is, the owner has the following choice: you can install a standard VAZ radio, but then the easy-to-use shelf will disappear, or you can look for and install a unit of standard height. The VAZ radio does not fit into the 1DIN high compartment. There is no touch screen on it, but under the “twist” there is a whole array of plastic buttons.


VAZ push-button radio for Kalina-2

Such a radio, as we see in the photo, can be found in the only configuration of the Kalina Cross. The “device” in question differs from the Granta radio in the presence of a frame with holes. There were rumors about the release of specific units intended only for crossovers, but in the end everything turned out to be simpler - VAZ always ordered radio tape recorders from Itelma, and this tradition was continued. What exactly is offered as part of the “budget” head unit? Let's try to figure it out.

First of all, let's say that the main task of a built-in radio is to play music. To do this, it provides two hardware ports (USB, SD) located on the front panel. Radio stations can be switched using the lower buttons, and the device can also perform the functions of a Bluetooth headset - it’s not for nothing that there are “Receive” and “End End” buttons. The amplifier power is standard, the number of channels is four.

How to install 2 din in grant norm or standard

Everything is more complicated here. Need to:

  • dismantle the center console trim - unclip the fastenings, move it forward and disconnect the buttons and heater handles;
  • cut out a vertical plastic partition that will not allow you to install a 2 din device;
  • cut down the plastic casing of the central air duct;
  • try on a new acoustic unit, adjust the fastenings if necessary;
  • install adapters from the delivery kit on the wiring (if required);
  • install the device;
  • if we leave the old center console trim: we cut out the partition, try it on, put it in place with the buttons and handles connected, adjust the decorative frame of the control unit, install it;
  • if we install a new trim on the console under a 2 din device: we transfer the heater control unit and buttons from the old trim, install them in place, and put a decorative frame on the control unit.

Other features of standard multimedia

The general feelings of owners who have a standard radio in their car are positive. The display is informative and easy to read. The touch keyboard functions flawlessly. The standard radio itself is capable of high-quality reproduction of sound programs from micro-SD cards. However, using USB format media can be challenging.

The device also has some nice options:

  • equalizer;
  • activated replay mode;
  • random sequence of playing tracks (“Random”).

Multimedia LADA Granta is capable of supporting images in 5 formats, which allows you to view photos without any problems. But not everyone can make the correct settings for the “phone” option on the first try. This function will be convenient for a busy owner who is forced to communicate by telephone even while on the road.

The standard speakers of the LADA Granta disappoint many, since even at a 45 percent volume level they emit wheezing, characteristic of bass overload. Some timid music lovers are alarmed by volume jumps when switching to “radio” mode.

Here is a list of shortcomings that provoked many Grantavods to purchase an alternative version of the radio. Today, the progressive version “2191” claims to replace the outdated standard device “2190”. The new device will please you:

  • improved sound;
  • interface for connecting with a rearview camera;
  • navigation complex;
  • integrated input for connecting a subwoofer.

Instead of a total

  • If we install a simple radio, the size should be no more than 178 * 50 mm. Installation requires plastic spatulas or a screwdriver. Adapters and slides are included .
  • To install 2 din, you need a new overlay on the console, a decorative frame on the GU itself, wire cutters and a metal blade to adjust the installation location.
  • Are we replacing the standard speakers with another of the same size? Still need a new decorative frame . Otherwise, gaps in the panel will be visible.

More articles about Granta here.

Since the beginning of 2011, all Lada Granta models have been manufactured with audio preparation: factory radios and receivers. The quality of reception and sound is not always at the highest level due to its cheapness and simplicity. When purchasing a Lada Grant from the showroom, the owner receives audio preparation, acoustic wires, and installed electrical wiring.

Comprehensive selection of speaker components

The main criteria when choosing components are the cost of the speaker system and the quality of musical sound reproduction. Qualitative criteria are always subjective and relate to personal preferences. System settings help to achieve the required frequencies, sound timbres, and volume balances from good equipment.

The phased installation of acoustics in a car, as a rule, begins with increasing the power of the speakers. In this case, you need to take into account the technical capabilities of the standard radio, which limit the total sound power. The real power of standard factory radios does not reach 30 W, so installing hundred-watt speakers is pointless. MP3 and WMA decoders are also not suitable for creating powerful musical sound of excellent quality. Compressed formats allow you to fit a large number of songs on a disc, but noticeably degrade playback quality. A significant portion of high and bass frequencies are not transmitted, and the natural overtones of musical instruments are lost.

High-quality car audio tuning involves installing a special car multi-channel amplifier, additional devices: crossovers, equalizers, remote bass controls, filters, high-level inputs.

When choosing an amplifier, the main criteria are:

  • power supply reliability
  • parameters of the input signal processing block
  • availability and quality of drivers
  • output signal block characteristics

When choosing car amplifiers of classes “A” and “B”, it is necessary to take into account the significant heat generation due to the magnitude of the operating currents. Such models must be selected with cooling fins located on the outer surfaces of the amplifier. For digital class “D” these devices are not important; the compact amplifier does not overheat. When choosing a two-channel compact amplifier, pay attention to the well-known brands Calcell, JVC, Mystery, Pioneer, Blaupunkt, models that sell for $60 - $90.

Choosing the right radio size

We carry out installation either independently or by contacting specialists at the service center. In the second case, the service is paid.

By default, all VAZ and Lada models are equipped with a 1-DIN radio. The opening dimensions correspond to: 180 x 50 mm. This is an old standardization that has been in force since the times of the USSR. Modern audio modules can be purchased complete with a pre-installed LCD display. The size of the opening must comply with the standard: 180 x 100 mm, that is, doubled in height. Size marking: 2-DIN.

To install the radio in the Granta liftback, cut out the top pocket, remove the plastic, and install the assembled module. For a beginner, the process will seem somewhat complicated, so strictly follow the instructions.

Audio preparation Grants of different configurations

In the “standard” configuration, the Lada Granta has pre-installed power wiring harnesses, which are located in the console opening. Electrical wires are connected only to the radio, so don’t be surprised if you don’t find them in the doorways. To wire to the doors, you will need to pull power wires, which are located under the console panel. In this configuration of the Lada Granta, the stereo system can be installed independently if due attention is paid to it.

In the Lada Granta Norma, the power wires coming from the console are already routed to the doorways. You only need to connect the audio system in accordance with the assembly diagram. It's not uncommon for the stock door wiring to not match up with some speaker connectors. To solve this problem, you need to purchase suitable wires and replace them in the doorway. Lada Granta Norma has a trim with a special pattern for the speakers. Based on it, you can cut the opening yourself.

During assembly at the factory, the Lada Granta luxury version is equipped with a touchscreen multimedia system and speakers. The improved radio tape recorder is complemented by Bluetooth function and a 5-inch display with line output. In addition, the built-in radio allows you to connect a USB 2.0 flash card, through which you can listen to recorded music.

The design of the Lada Granta Lux allows for replacement of the audio system, including speakers. It may be necessary to adjust the opening for the columns in accordance with the instructions.

How to connect a Lada Granta head unit with a 1-DIN connector

  • We carry out the work inside the car, having previously disconnected the terminals from the battery in order to prevent a short circuit in the circuit;
  • We remove the plastic partition - pocket. It covers the hole, preventing objects from falling inside the torpedo. We use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the bolts;
  • Two ISO plugs are visible behind the partition body. These types of wire terminals are manufactured in accordance with international automotive standards. More than 98% of all automakers use the standard when equipping technical equipment;
  • We remove the metal frame - the block - from the body of the audio unit and place it in the cavity of the torpedo.
  • We first connect the blocks with wires. Fitting into the connectors is accompanied by a characteristic click;
  • We insert the module into the metal frame.

Note to the driver. Incorrect terminal connections result in a short circuit. To ensure the safety of the connection process, the connectors have guides that allow you to install the block in only one position.

Installation of acoustics on Granta

Speaker in the car door

First of all, you will need to dismantle the plastic pocket that covers the compartment for the stereo system. Use a screwdriver for flat type screws. When the pocket is removed, you will see that behind it there are special sockets where ISO plugs from the future speaker system will be placed.

After this, you need to remove the protective metal frame from the radio. We install it in the vacated opening under the plastic pocket. Successful fixation of the equipment is usually accompanied by a characteristic click.

Now you will need to connect the plugs in accordance with the existing ISO standard, to which the electrical wiring of all international format radios meets. Incorrect connection of the audio system connectors can lead to malfunction of all electrical devices in the car, including the radio.

It is worth noting that many car radio manufacturers make individual connectors for them. In this case, the kit almost always includes a special adapter for ISO standard plugs. If your radio does not comply with the ISO standard and does not come with an adapter, you can consider cutting the wires from the radio plugs or from the car's electrical wiring. After this, you will need to properly solder the wires in accordance with the color pinout.

It is strictly not recommended to resort to simply twisting the wires with adhesive insulating tape. This type of connection is impractical, since in winter the tape freezes and cracks, which can cause the wiring to short out and electrical appliances to fail. For a high-quality connection, you can use terminals that are designed for clamping wires.

ISO standard connectors are prepared only once. After this, you will not have to deal with selecting plugs and pinouts when installing a new radio. This procedure should take no more than 3 minutes.

The ISO standard uses 2 types of connectors: brown and black. The first is intended to ensure the operation of all the acoustics of the car. The second is for special functions of the stereo system and its electrical power supply. The pinout diagram for ISO is shown in the figure.

ISO pinout diagram

Common mistakes when installing a standard Granta liftback radio with your own hands

  • when connecting additional terminals, manual twisting of wires is used instead of classical soldering;
  • regular insulating tape is used on connections instead of heat-resistant sleeves;
  • Incorrect connection of a large number of speakers on one branch leads to overload, heating, and short circuit.

Installing a sound amplifier

By liftback radio amplifier we mean:

  • crossover installation;
  • subwoofer installation.

The choice is up to the owner of the Lada Grant, as different goals are pursued: cleanliness, sound quality. Obviously, the cost of equipment will also increase. Crossovers are installed in the cavity of the glove box, since their dimensions do not exceed 100 x 150 mm and are rectangular in shape. Subwoofers are fixed in the luggage compartment. Equipment requires more space.

Connection of an external device is carried out strictly in accordance with the operating instructions:

  • brown wire color: responsible for the operation of the system;
  • black: power supply to equipment;
  • yellow: audio module activation;
  • red: settings and programming.

At the very end, do not forget to connect a red wire with a pre-installed fuse to the positive terminal of the battery. It directly connects the amplifier (subwoofer) to the current source.

Installing two speakers in the front doors

  1. dismantle the door card, handle, control unit;
  2. We compare the standard cutouts for the speakers with the actual dimensions. If necessary, expand with a file or fine sandpaper. It is strictly forbidden to use cutting objects, as there is a high risk of damage to the plastic of the door card;
  3. we check for the absence of roughness in the hole, install the speaker, fix it, connect the standard terminals with wiring;
  4. we check the operation of the speaker, install the door card, and fix the metal grille to protect the speaker from mechanical damage.

Installing speakers in a car

In addition to the radio itself, you will need to correctly place and connect the audio speakers.

Installation of the rear and front speakers is carried out according to the same scheme. To do this, you will need to cut openings in the door trim, so for ease of installation you need to remove them. The upholstery is removed in the following sequence:

  • the door handle is removed;
  • The plastic casing under the handle is removed;
  • the adjusting handle for raising the glass is removed (only for Lada Granta Standard).

The stock upholstery has 16 cm diameter openings that are specifically designed for speakers. Certain difficulties may arise if you decide to install speakers of other sizes.

For speakers with a diameter of 13 cm, you will need to cut out the central plug in the door trim. The layout diagram is included with the speaker kit. Having understood the intricacies of a particular model, you will have to slightly increase the plane of fastening of the tongues, since standard openings are larger.

Speakers on the rear parcel shelf of a car

Speakers with a diameter of 16 cm are most often easy to install, but sometimes the sizes do not match. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the metal opening allocated for installing the speaker using an electric jigsaw. After each adjustment, be sure to try on the column, as it is very important not to overdo it in this matter.

After successful installation, you will need to connect power and check the functionality of the speaker. Then you can install the door trim back. A protective grille is placed over the column, which must be secured with self-tapping bolts.

Choose speakers with a flat surface. Otherwise, they will interfere with looking into the glove compartment; to do this, you will have to open the front right door every time.

Characteristics of the standard radio "Lada Grants Liftback"

The radio for the Lada Granta liftback is supplied as standard equipment. Product in 2-DIM format (100 x 180 mm).

In addition to the classic radio, there is a built-in card reader, Bluetooth, and a USB output for connecting flash drives. The only disadvantage of the audio module is that it is a push-button type. Which is not to the liking of many car enthusiasts, which is why they install more modern modifications.

During the startup of the audio module, a greeting from Lada Kalina 2 is displayed. This is not an error, as many owners think. This type of audio was originally developed for the Lada Kalina 2. Obviously, the manufacturer did not change anything and started production for the Granta. Installation/disassembly of the module is somewhat complicated due to the tight fit, so be prepared for this.

Installation of Lada Granta car radio

Tools:

  • Open-end wrench 10 mm
  • Small flat screwdriver
  • Knife (if necessary)
  • Soldering iron (if necessary)

Parts and consumables:

Notes:

Initially, in this car model, the calculation is made for a 1-DIN radio. If the owner wants to install another type, a newer one, for example 2-DIN, he will need to start sawing the partitions in the console itself. And if the size is not suitable, then a suitable cantilever frame will have to be cut into the panel. This is much more complex than the first type of installation listed. In the second option, it is better to entrust the installation to a specialist, because there is a high risk of damaging the interior trim.

Here is a description of how to install a 1-DIN radio.

1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.

2. Remove the plastic pocket installed in place of the future radio using a flat-head screwdriver.

3. Having taken out the pocket, on the back of it you will find slots where ISO connectors will be inserted to connect the radio. Disconnect the connectors to completely remove the pocket.

4. Now remove the metal frame from the radio and install it in the place where the plastic pocket was. Unbend the frame's tendrils to lock it securely in place.

Note:

There should be a click to confirm that the frame installation was successful.

5. Connect the connectors to the radio.

Note:

If you connect the radio to the connectors incorrectly, all car systems may fail, including, of course, the sound system.

Some radio manufacturers make custom connectors. Most of them come with an ISO plug. But there are times when none of the types are suitable, then the last option remains - cutting the wires. You remove the original plugs of the radio and the plugs of the car wiring and solder them together, but be sure to match the color.​

A mistake many car enthusiasts make is twisting the wires and wrapping them with adhesive-backed insulating tape. In winter, the same electrical tape cracks due to frost. As a result, a short circuit may occur in the wiring, which will lead to the failure of all electrical systems of the car.

6. Insert the car radio into the previously installed frame.

How to flash the firmware

  • Buy an SD card, format it in FAT, exFAT format;
  • We download the firmware for free on the manufacturer’s official website;
  • We save the data in the root directory of the SD card;
  • We insert the SD card into the slot on the radio, start it, wait for the update to finish;
  • Turn on and off the module;
  • We customize the new interface for ourselves.

If the firmware is installed incorrectly, additional screen calibration using the CAN bus will be required. It is impossible to do this yourself, only in a service station. After successful flashing, the following is available:

  • graphic equalizer;
  • viewing photos, pictures, videos;
  • improved sound quality;
  • possibility of installing a navigation system.

Disadvantages of a standard radio

  • Outdated firmware from the “box”;
  • Not all options are initially available;
  • The need for periodic software updates;
  • Push-button interface.

Specifications and overview of device functions

We should start with the fact that the manufacturer of the radio with an LCD display is domestic, this is NPP Itelma, Moscow. The company produces and supplies its products (electronics and digital equipment) to the largest automotive enterprises in Russia. Multimedia system MMC 2190, catalog number 2190-7900010-00 for Granta, is an updated device with a new processor and transistor stage. The production of old products with number 2190-7900010 has been discontinued, and it is not possible to buy them. The technical characteristics of the radio are presented in Table 1.

Note: The kit includes an antenna designed for installation on the roof of a vehicle.

The standard radio has a resistive screen, which, unlike a capacitive screen, works better at low temperatures, although it is inferior in ease of use. The controls are completely touch-sensitive, with the exception of the puck that regulates the sound. The central panel also has buttons for quick mute and mode switching, which is very convenient in various situations. The main menu of the device consists of 6 items:

To tune in and reliably receive FM radio stations, there are 4 playlists; in addition, it is possible to receive signals from radio stations operating in the AM range. This function may seem useless if you are in a city or more or less large settlement.

However, in the periphery, there are not FM transmitting stations everywhere, and signals from AM radio stations are present everywhere and can be listened to. You can tune in to a specific station either manually or automatically.

All these functions can be implemented by clicking on the “Radio” menu button. The antenna for receiving FM signals that comes with the device, according to reviews, has flaws in its design. While driving, the sound volume fluctuates when listening to the radio, so some car enthusiasts purchase an additional antenna.

You can watch the video on the radio of your Lada Granta car by pressing the corresponding menu button. The device plays the most popular AVI video file format with great difficulty and the picture lags behind the voice acting. This is due to the small amount of RAM and insufficient processor performance. However, if you use a desktop computer and a converter, the film can be converted to WMV 320x240 format (Windows Media Player) and watched in a car with fairly decent quality.

4.Kirill, 36 years old: I work as a taxi driver, on wheels all day. The standard tape recorder saves the day, it works properly. My friends recommended replacing it with a touchscreen model from the new Granta, but so far the old one hasn’t failed.
Negative
1.Victor, 38 years old: the standard audio module, although not bad, seemed to me not enough, so I replaced it with a foreign one and supplemented it with an amplifier. Now the volume is good, the quality is high.
2.Mikhail, 42 years old: I work as a courier, I drive for the entire shift. I expected more from the standard radio, so I had to replace it with a new one. The volume suits me, I plan to connect an amplifier - a crossover.
3.Ivan, 33 years old: I bought the car second-hand, immediately replaced the audio module, the reviews are not good. New and high-quality equipment from Trinity, no problems.
4.Vladlen, 40 years old: friends gave me a gift in the form of a radio with touch control for our anniversary. Before this there was a push-button one. Can't compare, quality, sound, control, functionality at a high level.

Conclusion The opinions of motorists on the functionality and sound quality of the standard radio are divided, which is obvious. Everyone evaluates according to their own criteria. Some people care about sound, others about functionality, and others about control. Regardless of the type of radio: push-button or touch-sensitive, the workmanship is good. No massive breakdowns or defects were recorded. Maintenance is not expensive, parts and components are available both at official representative offices and on the Internet. Now it will not be difficult for the owner to remove the radio on the Granta liftback with his own hands without contacting a service station.

The main differences between coaxial and component acoustics

  • Coaxial: a single design of speakers, where low-frequency and high-frequency are mounted on the same axis. Depending on the type of preinstalled crossover, one, two, or three-way crossovers are distinguished.
  • Component: consists of a number of individual different-frequency speakers that are installed throughout the vehicle interior.

It is better to install coaxial ones on the back row of seats, component ones - in the front. The cost of coaxial speakers is a third cheaper than component ones.

Video review of the radio

The standard radio for Kalina 2 and Grant has all the necessary functions for a modern car. The audio system works flawlessly, there are no freezes, all operations are performed instantly. The build quality is at a high level. The only disadvantage is the lack of a CD/DVD drive, but nowadays discs are becoming a thing of the past. The standard radio of the Lada Kalina 2 and Granta without an LCD display is a good alternative for those who find physical buttons more convenient than a sensor.
