I put the exact radio about 1 year ago in our Cruze. The modern looking radio Completely changed the whole car for a great price and it looks factory. Been watching this build on this channel for the last year plus. I’ve Been working on classic and modern cars with my dad my whole life and we Really enjoy watching this channel because the car looks just like our Cruze even down to the color and rims. Whenever you post a new video specifically on the Cruze we sit down an watch it together. We’re amazed at the what you’ve been able to get that little engine to do so far and enjoy how you’ve documented all the steps along the way. Keep it up!
That's awesome my videos bring you guys together. It definitely has changed the feel and fits really well. Lots more to come.

Is it plug and play
@@marcenyajohnson1032 My experience was very much plug and play. :)
I know this is a year old but thank you so much man. I tried everything and thought my radio was shot. Followed your exact instructions and it worked. Damn good
Hello i have one of this radio on mu cruze too, i have one tip for everyone, if you go on “factory settings” and put the password “8888” you have acces to some configs, go to app lauch and select one app to automatic opens when you power on the car.
I’m loving your videos with this cruze greetings from Brazil!
My husband did this to my Chevy Cruz 2011 and it’s the best thing ever
Nice! Love how it's changed the feel of the car.
Thanks for demostrating that the steering wheel controls work with the radio and including a very detailed account of installtion as well as a product link.
Cool thing with an android in dash touchscreen is you can use a bluetooth obd2 scanner and run the torque app and set up whatever gauges you want displayed for whatever performance data you want to view, as well as view and clear check engine light codes on the fly!
Nice! I'm going to look into that.
Good plan!
I want to add interior led lights and have the app downloaded so i can control them from the center screen
Be carefull. I read before that cheap bluetooth obd2 scanners are not meant to stay connected all the time while running the car all the days. I heard somewhere that they fried some car electronics with it
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze and I never knew you could install a touchscreen stereo in any vehicle that does not have one. I'm definitely going to install one now. 🚗
Thank you Matt for doing a video on this i was skeptical on buying one because i didn't know if it was actually going to be good lol. you're the man
Thanks Jake! When searching for install videos, none were complete with somewhat hard to see hand held video. I was skeptical too, which is why I waited, but now that it's said and done, wish I would've done it sooner.
That fits there so nicely! cool detail to add at pretty much any car!
Awesome content
Thanks! 👍
Mic input is for an external mic instead of the built-in mic on the unit. You can connect it to the OnStar mic in the overhead which will give better results than the one in the dash. Or a separate mic that you place wherever you want (one of my other radios came with a clip on mic that's attached to the visor).
How can I connect it to the Onstar mic
@@Carlos-lz3fl I'd have to look up the pins, but you can tap the mic feed to the OnStar module.
There's a thread on CruzeTalk about it.
@@SvenSchmidt05251983 I think this thread.
www.cruzetalk.com/threads/how-to-connect-aftermarket-headunits-to-the-oem-hands-free-microphone.248373/
Was gonna go with the smaller one until I found this vid. This channel is a life saver!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this, I have a slightly different version (for an Astra J) but was struggling to work out where some of the wee plugs go ... think I have it sorted now, will test in the car in the morning.
Great vid! i just traded my Cruze but love seeing what you do to yours
Thanks! Nothing wrong with tuning in vicariously.
Not gonna lie, I despise touch controls for volume and HVAC, but having the steering wheel controls makes life a lot better. Overall this is still super cool. Surprisingly affordable too.
I feel you on that! Both work though and it retains the manual turn knobs. I more than likely wont be reaching for the AC controls on the touch screen. It certainly gives the car a more modern feel. We'll see how she holds up. Even if it lasts a year, still would say money well spent.
@@cmattdabrat Can you tell me what your canbus protocalls are set to? I can't get the steering wheel to work, you can find the settings in factory settings pass 8888 top left "protocal settings" I think it says. there are 2 settings the canbus type on the left and the car it's set to on the right, I'm sure it's set to cruze but whats the left setting?
@@Boozerbear @ace7785 did you sort this out. I just installed it and having the same issue. It fails when I try and assign the controls. Cruze 2009
Just installed mine.. and it worked. How do I install reverse camera
Thanks for the awesome video. Made me go out and buy one myself. Install looks smooth enough and that'll be next for me.
what great video , love the vibe. you kept me interested unlike most guides. I had to subscribe! I need to learn more lol .
Back up camera video is def needed
Thanks for reminding me about these! So rad. I was thinking about getting one a couple years back.
I would miss the cd player but all the other new features make up for the loss.
Appreciate the upload, will be referring to this for installation when I finally order one!
Loving it!
Will this work on my 2016 Chevy Cruze LIMITED?! Same radio build inside
Some screens come with cd player slots, just shop around
Bit of a late reply but you can get a USB CD player and just plug it in, not sure where you'd put it but if you really wanted a CD player you could stick it in the glove compartment or under the seat or something
I dont even own the cruze yet but with every potential make and model i might purchase, you best bet i be researching ways to upgrade the stereo.
Cool vid.
Now I’m going to look into getting one for my 2014 Chevy Cruz
Man, I was LITERALLY looking for something to do with my interior and this is IT. THANK YOU!
Glad I could help! Loving it so far!
@@cmattdabrat 2 years later and I finally decided to go out and install it. LOVING IT. I need to sort out the stereo sounds, hopefully there's someway to EQ this thing because it made everything louder but now the bass is overpowering lol
Girlfriend bought this exact radio and I plan on putting it in this weekend. Glad I came across your detailed video. Will update when the job is done!
Glad it was helpful!
I assume you never did it since no update??
Did the lass leave you Brendan?
Poor dude 😂 everyone is worried! Respond! Lol
What is the unit name & model for this? Just bought my daughter a 2012 Cruze.
I got this same radio head unit for my 2015 1.8. Love it so far, I only wish there was some way to restore the factory door chime.
Best guide for this kit on youtube...well done.
Glad it was helpful!
I believe the mic port is for if you wanted to use the google assistant or voice controls.
I was going to comment its for hands free calling. I installed a new radio in my Truck and I added a microphone to it and mounted it near the drivers seat. No one has a problem hearing me on hands free calling.
@@kristinasullivan9436 Oh that’s makes sense.
After watching this video, I ordered this and installed it on my 2015 Cruze LTZ. I was able to connect my factory installed backup camera to this unit, with some research and added wiring. The reverse camera video (for my car) is in the 20 pin connector (beige in my case) that plugged into the factory radio. I did not have to worry about the reverse trigger wire, the Android radio already recognized when the car was in reverse. So all I needed was the video from the rear camera. The 20-pin connector is unused with this replacement Android radio. In my case, the #5 pin was camera positive (Camera+) and the #15 pin was camera negative (Camera). By stripping an RCA male cable that I had, and connecting the positive and negative wires to these two pins, I was able to get my original factory backup camera to work on this Android radio. So, I didn't have to install the backup camera that came with this radio.
I’m confused on this if you can help me understand? So you spliced back an RCA male connector into two wires. You connected the positive side of the connector to pin number #5 and the negative side of the RCA connector to PIN number 15? Where does the beige wire you mentioned first go?
@@lasvegasguy12 Just now seeing this. The beige connector (has 20 pins and several wires) doesn't get used with the replacement radio. So the connector is just left sitting behind the new install. In that 20 pin connector are the two wires needed to hook up to the factory rear camera. So, you can buy something like an Ailteck Speaker Wire RCA Male Plug Connector Jack to Bare Wire Open End Audio Video AV RCA Cable on another website. Then, you simply insert the red wire (from that Ailteck) into the #5 spot, and the black wire into the #15 position. Then you put the other end, the yellow RCA, into your new Tesla radios camera input. You can just tape the wires to the 20-pin connector so that they don't come out of the pins, and you're good to go. Now the new Tesla style radio will use your factory backup camera. Tried to explain it my best. You would using that Ailteck cable to connect the original factory camera to the new radio.
I just ordered this radio !!! I have all skar spears in doors added 6 by 9 in rear deck… and 2 -10 “ subs by skar .. and all skar amps. I can’t wait to get rid of the stock radio
Nice!
Im changing my radio from the original radio to that one now on my cruze 2014 your video its helping me a lot
Glad it's helping!
@@cmattdabrat Working good now bro, do you have any video installing back camera?
PDD: Nice video bro
@@dennisalbertoorellanaj6122 I suppose I'm very late but maybe you could go for Alpine HCE-C1100 or some other kind of back up camera.
Keep us updated on use! I was looking at reviews and some of the radios are having problems later. Curious on how yours is holding up after a couple months. I may buy one for my 2011. 😎
Will do!
@@cmattdabrat no issues so far? Any complaints?
@@gritz731 I recommend you to buy teyes Tesla style 🔥
I've been using a similar one for almost a year now without issues. I suggest look for brands like Junsun, Erisin or Xonrich. These are the more reliable ones.
Does anyone know after installing the Tesla system into your Chevrolet sedan will there be a backup camera included on the radio display. I was hoping he showed that part or mentioned that in the video 🥹🤗. I would’ve loved to have seen that part.
Please let me know if anyone knows something, thank you!
I'm pretty excited about this one because I have a 2014 cruze and I have been looking into doing this for a little while. Please give us an update after you've been using it for a while because I've never seen a video telling us how it feels later.
Definitely will! When I got mine and looked up install videos, not of them truly had a step by step video that was easy to follow, or watch for that matter. I think I sat in the car for a good hour just playing with it. Really changes the overall feel.
Now that it's been a short amount of time, what do you think so far about the radio? How long does it take to start up and be ready to go? Also, how long does it take to pair your phone?
I been having for 2 years plus i will do a video shortly if you guys are interested. The new screen actually gave my speakers a whole new definition with making it super louder compared to how it was. One of the big pluses
I like how the fact you went to 97.9 The Box (shoutout Houston) I live in Baytown and am considering buying this now that I seen how beautiful this looks in the Chevy Cruze. 🤟🏼
H-Town! I love the way it cleaned things up.
Awesome guide, you encouraged me 😁.
Im planing to buy online, anything i should be aware of? Especially the size for my car model?
You will run into heating issues by wrapping the blue box in the foam; it will act as insulation and not allow it to breath properly. Use double sided tape to mount it to the side of the sides of the dash if your worried about rattling noise
Right on thanks for the video!!! I'm in search of one now!!!
That's awesome and helpful! Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for the video. Do you have already a video for installing the backup camera?
This is dope! Thanks for the install.
Any time!
Great install! very detailed.
Excelente video, sería genial haga un video de instalación de cámaras de retroceso. Gracias 🤩👍
I just installed my tesler radio yesterday I have a question I have a Android phone and I'm not seen my car on the screen plus everything is in Chinese I followed everything you did on the video. Plus can you do a video for setting up the back up camera. Other than that thanks man the radio is in and playing. 😊
I put mine in yesterday and cant change the time on it 🤧
Do you guys have a problem with the bass ?
Great job definitely trying this….oh and back camera!
Thanks! I'll do that one soon!
Very helpful video, I've manage to do it all up it looks amazing! The only problem is that the reverse sensor sound not working and also when you open the door use to make a beeping noise it also stopped. Maybe you can direct me, it might be I missed to connect a cable. Thank you in advance.
I wanna believe that this is easy enough that I can do it but also I'm not that tech savvy. I'm in Houston top, I'll just swing by and you can do mine 🤣💕 great job and your walk through seems easy enough to follow for those who are confident enough to try it!
lol, you can do it!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video, its been a great help. Do you know if the Reverse Camera Lines can be adjusted ie made wider. I can't seem to find a setting for it
Nice work! FYI gps antenna can be hidden anywhere inside dash with dash plastics or rubber above it no metal is the only stipulation, this way you can clean up the install even more hidden away.
Thanks Chris! I kinda figured that was the case. I more than likely will go back, get some 3m double side tape, and tuck it away when I install a back up camera.
I stick mine on top of my heat vent tubes, but under the dash.
I would of just stuck everything to the back of the screen. Easily accessible and can clean up the wires neatly with zip ties or electrical tape.. I installed a double din.. it's a nightmare behind mine 😅
Thanks. Excellent work. 👍🏆
Awesome tutorial. It would’ve been challenging without your instructions. Only thing is I had to move my head unit on the back of the radio down to fit my model of car. But keep up the good work my man!!
I thing a Toyota Yaris I rode today has this its nothing to cool but its a nice upgrade from what looks like the 19 century radios
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. I got one unit and I'm trying to install rn and i think the screen doesn't fit properly... Did you had to cut the dashboard base off?
saludos de Venezuela, voy a intentar instalarlo excelente, saludos y sigue así hermano
no morir de hambre? gobierno maduro es una verguenza!! Me da pena el pueblo venezolano.
Wow! I never knew there were manual transmissions for the Chevy Cruze!
Oh yeah. Base model 1.8 NA. Bought it because they've been known to be a more reliable setup, and to turbo it. Check out the series.
dude ur a different man love it
thanks!
For the rear view Camera what kind do you recommend? Thank you for the break down on the Radio I can’t wait to do it myself ✌🏽✊🏽
bought the same one from the link in ur description. it should be here tomorrow morning. thanks to ur video im going to try to installl it myself. wish me luck! lol
p.s can’t wait to see the backup cam install video
lol! You can do it! I'll get on that ASAP because when I put it in reverse, the backup tracks come on and it's just begging for that backup camera.
@@cmattdabrat does this work for 2016?!?
Looks perfect, good job ✌
Thanks! 👍
I love this I just bought 2019 cruze LT rally sport will this android screen fit in mine
Thanks for the tutorial it helped my installation quite a bit. Btw; Nice shifter Knob, where did you get it from?
Man that was sick! we have the same kind of vehicle I have a Chevy cruze as well. I don't see why it wouldn't work for 2013 Chevy cruze 1.4 L LT that dash is almost the same I have automatic with overdrive is the only difference
Thanks! Should work for all Gen I Cruzes regardless of the engine and transmission type. :)
Apollo looooovvesss his rides. Never seen a dog so eager to get into a car
LOL! He can't stand it if he can't be inside the car. I've gone out to eat and he'll just sit in the car for an hour and a half happily.
@@cmattdabrat I wonder what’s going on inside his head. 🤣
That's nice
You bloody did it👍
happy for you... looks great man
Appreciate it!
Had my eye on one of these for ages , I've never pulled the trigger because I'm worried it'll be cheap.
Same here. Seems pretty nice though and completely changes the feel of the car. I'm going to be hanging onto the stock stuff just incase.
My 2012 Cruze steering wheel doesn't have media controls, is it possible to get one that does?
Thank you for making this so clear even for newbies like me.
A really good vid. I wonder if this radio can fit on a Chevy Spark GT 2021
Nice install video Matt, thanks! I have Chevy Orlando 1.4 Turbo that shares lots of things with the Cruze. There is no big screens for it, dash, display and radio are different. I wonder if the radio connections are the same? I could slap the Cruze big screen in it and make a custom bezel for it.🤔
Thanks! Would be worth pulling the radio to take a look at the connections. GM is known to share a lot of mechanical and wiring in multiple vehicles to keep costs down.
I also have an Orlando that i would like to update the head unit. Did you have any luck?
What’s the name of radio
Key1 and Key2 are for the steering wheel controls. Key1 is the resistance sensing wire and Key2 is ground
That’s what I said, but then he was using the swc later on in the video? So he either figured it out or our aftermarket radios are too complicated lol
Whooooooooo Weeeeeee! 😂👍 That was awesome. I do that when I'm working on my car. But only in private
lol
Im just gonna give this video a save. Im about to get a 2009 Holden Cruze. and I would love to change out that radio unit in it
Nice!
What shift knob are you using? Looks super nice
Hello I have a question did you buy the wire harness separately or it’s included in the stereo package
Thanks
That looks amazing!
😦😍
Thanks!
What a great video! That let me wanting to have one too. I have a slk 1999, is it possible to change all the panel functions (air conditioning, buttons with seat heating functions, headlights water spray, etc etc) to a big vertical screen like that with all fuctions in it?
Thanks! I'm not sure to be honest. Do a search for a Tesla style radio for your car. They may have one that fits into the old school standard radio slot.
Great video very informative and to point 👍question will the stock Air conditioner controls still work?
Thanks! They still work.
Great video (I recently got a 2015 Cruze). Will definitely check out your other uploads. Curious if the physical climate control buttons still work or if you have to control climate via the infotainment screen now
Looking for that answer too?
Same
That was bloody cool🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
I wasn't aware the andriod radios came out of the box with support of the A/C controls. That was one of my main qualms with buying one since the a/c controls are integrated with the radio in my 2015 cruze, so you couldn't just rip it out for anything. (since at minimum you'd no longer be able to see the temp/fan controls)
Same here, but you retain the stock controls, as well as being able to control it on the Android.
Excelente!
I looked into one of these a couple yeas ago but the 2 reviews I saw had 2 many negatives. I don't remember what they are now but maybe you can do a follow up review. Good stuff as always.
I'll definitely do a follow up. It's exciting initially but only time will tell if it was worth it or not.
Totally worth it. 2 years plus
Thank you for posting sir
Thank YOU, for watching!
Where did you get the shift knob from? Nice work btw, I’ll be getting one for mine.
Awesome! It's a short throw shifter from over the top performance.
Once again thank you for awesome discount on max speeding. Ross finally finishing my civic
That's awesome! Anytime.
What is the brand name for this Tesla style radio ? I'm looking to put one in my Cruze and I like the 1 you installed .
Ayyeeee from Houston!!! 🎉
I have a 2010 Buick Lacrosse with same head unit wiring configuration. Did you have any wires that you did not use coming from the car to the new head unit ?
i think the microphone thing is for when you making calls when your phone is connected to the radio
Dope video man!!!! ❤❤❤❤
That things pretty cool!
I think so too!
This is videos going to be my guide when I do this mod. I like what you done to your cruze. Any plans on putting a LSD now you are boosting?
Can you tell me about your shift knob. I really like how it looks. Mines looking beat and can use a new look. It looks like the kNob sits lower?
That's awesome! I installed a LSD a few months ago. Works awesome. It's a short shifter from OTTP.

Nice detailed video good job i've been planning to change mine already which my display is not working anyways pixels are all.crappy and nonw of.the buttons work only steering wheel controls can you send me the link to buy the newest model for this Tesla radio
I would love to see an update video if you haven't done one yet. It'd be nice to know if it has android auto or not or if i can get it. Definitely something I want to do to my car
Yes do a backup camera. I’m following these steps.
Will do!
excellent video
Great video bro . Can you tell me where can I find the screws the black small ones attached the frame to the screen . I see a small clear bag full of them you have . Mine came without screws . Is any style number or any tip where I can buy them
Just installed this and when im in reverse my camera seems to be super zoomed in? My previous nav was horizontal and i was wondering if there was a way to have the reversing screen horizontal on this one as well? Even if half the screen is black or something
I'm not too sure about that. Might want to reach out to the manufacturer.
Great video ! I own a chevrolet cruze 1.8 LT 2010 I wanted to ask will it work with my current rear camera ?
Thanks! I'm sure it would. Mine didn't come with one, so I'm not sure.
Hi Matt, how do you install the original camera on your multimedia central? I'm tring to instal it but the screen is completely black
Great video I’ve been skeptical about trying to upgrade my radio this was a big help. Quick question. I have a 2015 LTZ. It has the touch screen and back up camera. Do you think
this radio will still work along with the back up camera?
Thank you! I don't see why it wouldn't. It has an input for a backup camera.
@@cmattdabrat so since the car already has a backup camera it should be a wire there I can plug into the Tesla radio?
That’s what I want to know. Now that I’m accustomed to having the reverse camera, I’d like to keep it
@@codgamer407 did you find out if it has a wire installed in there for a back up camera already ?
@@brandonmimms4029 where you able to find out if a back up wire cable was already installed ?
You know your stuff Chris D'elia
LOL, thanks?
Happy for you man
Thank you!
Love this! Does this unit make the original cabin air controls useless? Audio quality is a big question too. Is there any difference that you've noticed?
Thanks! The stock AC controls still work, but the radio / android unit can control them as well.
Good to know. As for the sound quality?
@@cmattdabrat damn! The capability these cars have is crazy & GM doesent let the customer have access to it!
What about all the car features that we control with the old radio, like the set up of locks and unlocked, the dimmer of the interior the way to turn on or off the daytime lights ?
