Settings for the standard radio of Grant, Vesta, Priora, Kalina. Lada head units

Share:

In order to improve the sound quality in Lada Granta, Vesta, Priora, Kalina cars, it is absolutely not necessary to purchase a new radio. You can set up a crappy radio on these cars and get acceptable sound quality, suitable even for building a basic audio system in a car. But how to do this? How to set up the standard radio in Lada Granta, Vesta, Priora, Kalina? Let's find out!

Lada Granta head unit settings

To improve the sound quality, we need to adjust the equalizer on Grant's standard radio.
To do this, press the center key on the console once, go to the equalizer, then to the user settings. In this menu, we enable the loudness function, adjust the high and low frequencies, as well as the sound balance and sound volume distribution between the front and rear speakers. How to do this, see the video below: Setting the equalizer of the head unit Lada Granta (Kalina, Datsun):
Important to know! On standard Lada Granta, Kalina radios, the equalizer must be adjusted for each sound source separately! That is, you need to configure loudness, high and low frequencies and other settings separately for the radio, music from a flash drive, music from a phone (AUX). For information on how to turn off the sound signal when pressing a key on the standard radio of a Grant or Kalina, see the chapter - Hidden capabilities of standard Lada radios

PS To improve the sound on standard Lada radios, it is very important to turn on the loudness function!

Lada Vesta head unit settings

The basic quality settings of the Lada Vesta radio are as simple as those on the Grant.
You can customize the sound in just a couple of minutes. To get into the equalizer we need to press the center key on the radio console. The first thing we need to do in the equalizer is to enable the loudness function. By activating it, we will immediately hear a richer and more vibrant sound from the car speakers. Next, we can now adjust the high and low frequencies, as well as the sound balance, at our discretion. (Sound balance is the time interval at the beginning of music playback between the left and right speakers. Balance settings help center the sound in the car.) In order to turn off the sound signal when pressing the button of the Lada Vesta standard radio, we need to find the item in the radio settings menu - Signal and turn it off. Setting the sound of the Lada Vesta head unit:

Lada Priora head unit settings

To connect a phone or player to a shaky Priora radio via Bluetooth, you need to turn on the Navi mode (a2dp) and press the call button, and then the af key. If Bluetooth requires a PIN code, then you need to enter 0000 - the default.
Setting up the Lada Priora's head unit:
PS If the Priora's head unit is frozen, you can reboot it quickly and easily. To do this, you need to press the Reset button, which is recessed into a very small hole. You can press it using a toothpick or similar thin object.

Lada Kalina head unit settings

The standard radio on Kalina is configured in exactly the same way as on Grant.
Here you also need to go to the equalizer settings menu and enable the loudness compensation function. Next, you need to adjust the high and low frequencies as you wish. The sound signal when you press the radio buttons can be turned off in the hidden radio options menu. How to get to the hidden settings menu, see the chapter - Hidden capabilities of standard Lada radios. Setting the equalizer of the standard radio Lada Granta (Kalina, Datsun):

About setting up standard radios for Grant, Vesta, Priora, Kalina

Friends, let’s once again briefly go through the most important points in setting up the standard radios of the Lada Grant and Kalina, Vesta, Priora. The most important thing to improve the sound quality of the standard radio is that we need to go to the equalizer menu item and there, in the settings, enable the loudness compensation function. It will use the radio processor and begin to automatically equalize the frequencies of the songs. For even better sound quality, we can adjust the low and high frequencies, as well as the sound balance, to your taste. The sound settings in rickety Lada Priora radios are much simpler and easy to adjust. It is much more important to know that the Bluetooth function is enabled through Navi mode (a2dp) and pressing the call button and then the af key. If the Bluetooth function on the Priora's standard radio requires a PIN code, then you must enter 0000 - this is the default password.

LADA Priora/Lada Priora: Standard audio device (radio tape recorder)

Due to numerous requests, I hasten to tell you about the standard Priora tape recorder Yes, yes, you heard right, such a thing exists

I’ll say right away that this 1Din device with a false panel has the following characteristics: reads CD/MP3, is equipped with USB, two-channel output, has built-in BlueTooth and is equipped with an LCD display

By the way, one of the advantages of this device is that it fits well into the overall interior of the car.

First, let's go over the quick buttons: ST - stereo/mono switching. BAND - switching bands. AF—turn on/off the mode for receiving alternative frequencies when receiving RDS stations. TA—turn on the traffic information standby mode. PTY—select the program type when receiving RDS stations. SCN - scanning during playback. RPT - repeat song/disc (folder) SHF - shuffle =) MODE - switch modes. AS/PS - auto scanning and memorization of memorized stations, selection of tracks. SCAN - scanning stations. DISP - options for displaying information on the display. EQ—switch equalizer presets.

Well, the radio is like a radio. Ranges FM1-FM3, ORT and MW1-MW2. There is auto and manual tuning, auto scanning with memorization, review of memorized stations, as well as a choice of stereo/mono modes. There is also a mode for receiving RDS stations, searching and waiting for traffic information to be received, searching for stations based on the type of programs being transmitted, as well as searching for alternative frequencies.

What we have: Reads Audio, MP3 and WMA CD(R, RW)... Everything is as usual: switching between tracks, rewinding, repeating a track/disc, shuffling, moving 10 tracks forward/backward and scanning the disc. It is also possible to select a track by number or by file name (only for MP3, it seems) + select a folder on an MP3 disk.

Installation in Lada Priora 2

Priora 2 cars are equipped with a standard 1 DIN size radio with a trapezoidal front part. The display is located on the top of the instrument panel, which makes it easier to read information.

Basic configurations were not equipped with a head unit; plastic plugs were installed on the central part of the instrument panel.

The instrument panel has a standard harness for connecting the radio, equipped with an ISO connector consisting of two plugs.

Self-installation of the radio on Priora 2 includes several stages:

Unscrew a couple of screws located under the removable rubber mat in the niche for small items.
Remove the decorative leather cover of the gear selector knob, under which there are 3 additional screws for a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the lower part of the center console; the gear shift knob remains in its original place.
Unscrew a pair of screws located under the climate control unit.
Use a spatula to pry and remove the 2 covers located above the button block and under the standard place for the radio.
Unscrew the remaining 4 screws and pull the front panel towards you.
After this, it is necessary to modify the panel or mount the equipment in a standard window and make adjustments.

The radio installed on the Priora must be connected through the ignition switch, which allows you to save settings and guarantees that the equipment is turned off after removing the key. It is necessary to modify the standard plugs by supplying additional power from the buttons in the instrument panel.

Manual for the Priora head unit

For those who are still trying to approach the discussion of the standard head units of cars produced by AVTOVAZ without bias, we are posting the manual on the radio of the Priora car. And along the way, we would like to note the fairly high quality of the device and great functionality. Of all the complaints against it on all kinds of forums (often completely unfounded, according to the principle - they can’t do anything good here, because everyone can’t.), only one can really be presented - the weak power of the built-in amplifier, but all manufacturers are guilty of this, except perhaps Pioneer and JVS. But you can't please everyone! For those who need louder volume, please install an amplifier, since there are linear outputs on the device. Otherwise, it's an excellent device. There are not enough settings, namely sound settings, so excuse me, it is not tailored for music lovers, but for ordinary users. For now, we are posting the instructions in the form of scans.

To enlarge the photo, click on the picture.

I would like to start by telling you why everything happened and for what purpose.

My father took the car, a Priora Universal, such a white one, absolutely beautiful) They called it the White Wagon. They have always been not indifferent to music, especially high-quality music, and they also like to watch TV, on the road, for example, or when going out into nature. Therefore, the question arose: Will a full-time GI be suitable for all these needs?

, from which several specific questions arise: -is there a linear output, outputs? -Are there linear inputs? (for example, put the sound from the TV there)

I want to dedicate this entry to these questions, as well as a more or less detailed disassembly of the State University. Let's begin...

What we have:

Standard GU, included in the luxury configuration.

A wide list of functions, design to match the interior of the cabin and much more... but these are the normal

(i.e. tulips) linear outputs front-rear, linear input (popularly AUX) are absent in this radio. Instead, the standardized miniISO connector:

After searching for a long time, I found this picture:

Much of it is true, but not all

! I thought, looked, walked around the State University. I was sure that there were 4 linear outputs, but AUX, its presence wasn’t very good. For some reason, they made a separate Navi item in the menu of this radio, as I understand it, it turns on the sound from the navigator, namely voice instructions. And as luck would have it, contact 11 did not respond in any way to the change in capacitance - no background or noise was heard.

It was decided to disassemble the GU piece by piece, from the inside, so to speak) Let's go!

Remove the top cover - one screw, on the left

Remove the mask - panel. 4 screws - 2 on top, 2 on bottom. Carefully bend the latches on the sides, there are also 4 of them. Carefully pull out the mask - it is on pins PLS

Remove the disk drive - 2 screws on top, 2 on the front under the front mask, just below the disk receiving window:

The guts of the State University opened before us:

Well, the long-awaited miniISO connector, view from the inside)

As you can see, part of the connector - the changer control - is not soldered at all, the linear input is not in its place - it is a group of 7-8-9 contacts. Well, the linear outputs are as expected according to the pinout, all the same 1-2-3-4-5. Well, we figured it out) all that’s left is to try it! Unfortunately, I never managed to launch the linear input ((And I abandoned this idea...

But there is also something interesting: 1) This wedge protects you from shorting the contacts of the miniISO connector to the housing!

2) Sound amplifier - TB2929HQ - hence the quality (((

3) And finally! Who said that this is the Urals? The label says Delta, and on the board there is a mysterious XG9822. Well, as a culmination, the search engine pleases us with the result:

and there are a lot of Chinese squiggles...

So here it is... As always, AvtoVAZ screwed up! As they say, rather than treating something like this, it’s better to make something new! Although for those who don’t give a damn about the sound in the car, this Mayfun will do just fine))

I hope the article will help someone, or just satisfy someone’s interest))

Features of installing a radio on a Lada Priora

As a rule, installing a radio on a Priora involves several types of audio players:

2 DIN media player for LADA Priora

These designations indicate the dimensions of the hole for installing the radio, which correspond to the dimensions 180x50x160 mm for 1 DIN and 180x100x160 mm for 2 DIN. If you want to install a more modern version of a 2 DIN radio, the car owner will have to carry out the procedure of sawing the partitions of the front console of the car in order to widen the hole for the player. In some cases, to adjust the dimensions, it becomes necessary to cut out or purchase an appropriate transition frame for the console, which is much more difficult than installing 1 DIN.

If you nevertheless decide to install a 2 DIN system, then it is best to entrust the installation work to an experienced specialist, otherwise there is a risk of damaging both the console itself and the car interior trim.

It should also be noted that 2 DIN standard radios have an extensive range of functions:

long service life thanks to shock-resistant housing;
paired amplifiers increase signal reception several times;
the ability to switch the frequency of the radio signal by all passengers in the car thanks to the Music Zone system;
function of built-in radio navigator;
built-in USB connector allows you to connect external devices to view and play files;
the presence of a bass amplifier for music for higher quality sound.

Built-in USB port and amplifier outputs

Why is the car radio always hissing?

Many car owners are faced with a very unpleasant problem when, while listening to music on a radio station, various sound distortions occur - noise, wheezing, interference, etc. This makes you wonder why the radio hisses in the car, the signal is poorly received, and how to correct the situation.

A simple radio malfunction - incorrect settings. Some people use automatic frequency search in the car, others use manual search; it is enough to save them in the device’s memory.

The signal may deteriorate if the radio station is far away or the vehicle passes a source of electromagnetic interference. Here we can only advise you to change the location to a more accessible one.

Why the radio doesn’t pick up well in the car - what’s the matter?

Possible mechanical or technical damage may result from a breakdown of the antenna, contacts or the radio itself. Diagnostics of these elements will help identify the cause of the signal malfunction.

If the car has an external antenna, it is likely that it is damaged. Another reason related to the antenna is its poor connection to the radio. If the accessory has visually visible signs of damage, the receiver must be replaced with a new one.

Sometimes drivers install an additional radio signal amplifier on their vehicle.

Among the most common reasons for poor radio performance is a faulty, or more often outdated, radio tape recorder. Therefore, when buying a car, we recommend replacing this equipment first.
