Brilliant video and straight to the point instructions. Clear from first second to the last. Why can’t more RUclipsrs follow your example.? Myself included!!??
Thanks for the video. Perfectly filmed and explained everything in detail. Installed it without any problems.
Einstein would not be able to do this, but you did it, congratulations!
Sir, you are an absolute legend. Thanks to you mine was fitted in the dark in less than 30 mins. Amazing - thank you.
Thanks for posting this video. Worked a treat yesterday when I swapped my nissan juke stereo over.
I installed mine yesterday with the help of your video, can't believe it was that easy to do!! Thanks to your video I had it installed in 40 minutes!! Thanks a million!!
Np, let me know your thoughts too.. I'm mid editing a review so all input is welcome.
Did you use the microfone or the Nissan installed one?
@@icezeThank you so much for your video, your details are very clear even if I don't have the same radio I understood how to adapt.
I have questions:
-for the accessory cable where did you brought it ?
-you plugged aux in with aux out, I did aux in with aux in but it's work too I'm little confused.😅
-there is wire in aux plugged on the radio side, do we have to do link to a cable or it can hold like that ?
Regards from France
What a great easy to follow thorough video !! AWESOME 👏👏
Installed it with your video as backup. Perfect
I am looking at how to do this, but man what a great video... you going into detail especially where all the screws and tabs are will save alot of time and broken tabs :)
thanks heaps
Thanks for this very useful video. I have a newer model of the Sinosmart, so the connections are in slightly different places, but I was able to get it installed in 90 minutes by following this step by step. Great job!
Glad it helped. You must have the newer 2k screen model.
@@iceze I have the 6G-128G 2k screen fitting is exactly the same.
@@cliveosborne8195how do you find it? Good value?
@@barryfitzachary9997 It's ok 👍
Job Well Done, a nice clean install, very interested in the head unit, will you be doing a overview video of the software and show us the head unit in action?
Очень хорошая работа! ЛАЙК и подписка! Привет с Украины город Луганск!
Is it possible to connect an extra subwoofer and equalizer for more deeper sounds
You make it look easy, I started on mine but got a bit overwhelmed by the shear amount of wires.
Just go one step at a time mate before you move on to the next. Don't overthink it but be careful and you'll be well pleased after you fit it 👍
PS Join the group and get help if you get stuck in any way.
@@iceze I think what it was that two sets of wires looked identical, will join the group 🙂
Great video, yesterday I installed mine with the help of your video. Thank you so much.
Brilliant video. How it should be done!
Forgot to say thanks for great easy to follow video.
Hello great video. Any update video after a months of use. Also can you still use the steering wheel controls with the head unit. Thanks
Did you ever find a solution? My track forward and back steering wheel buttons are switched after installing the radio
Hi mate AWESOME Video and help guide ! Is there anything you would change or do differently and how’s it been since you installed it ? Any issues ? Many thanks
thank you !
Great video
Great job
Great video! Any chance of seeing it in action and your thoughts on it and the software after you living with it a few months on? 🙏🏼🤞🏼
Anyway to make 360 camera work?
What a brilliant tutorial,I fitted mine today and followed your guide,for some reason I didn't get both mini usb only one full size USB with a 6pin connecter,anyway I continued with everything else except fitting it back into dash,I switched it on but was unable to find any FM stations,so I'm thinking this must be down to not having the mini usbs installed..any advice greatly appreciated
Seems they have changed the USB extension to a single. Tbh I didnt need even the 1 extra USB(never fitted), especially when your centre console one works too.
If FM isn't working, make sure the FM antenna hasn't popped out. There no latch on it. Give it a reboot too and try again.
Thankyou I will re check the connection and try the reboot to see if I get any joy
Reboot did the trick got radio now 👍
Fantastic video. Really clear and well put together. I’ve followed your link on the qashqai forum- is it £108? I can’t find a section to add a comment for the free additional bits. You advised . Was there any wires that don’t come included that I should order.
2018 tekna with Bose. Thanks in advance
Everythings included. I recommend getting the 4GB ram+ models. Just send them a message before ordering
hello. thank you for the video. helped me a lot. just a question. the brown cable we removed the first goes somewhere? thank you
The brown wire is your DAB radio antenna. If you get the optional DAB module and connector, you would plug it in here.
@@iceze thank you so much again! 30-40 minutes it was ready!!
Hi, thank you so much for your video!! It works great. I have a question: the message’s language when using the parking camera appears in, I think, Turkish, but the rest of the radio is in English, including the factory menu. Any suggestion on how to fix it ?? I have tried with the language setting in the factory and outside menu
Good job mate...
Great video liked and subscribed
Great video, I am however curious to know if the "Parking Assist" function is still available on the new head unit?
Yes Park Assist does work.
How do we acces it?
Out of interest, do you still have this head unit in the car and how well does it work 2yrs on(if you do)?
Thanks for this video, super helpful when fitting. Are you aware of any fixes for microphone issues? Neither my internal or external mics work for voice control/phone sadly.
Did you find a solution? After installing the after market radio my microphone stopped working. I ordered a new one from Amazon I hope it fixes the issue
Hi, ordered my unit just recently waiting for delivery, based on your good review. Did you do the video for the software at all , would be very interested on other’s opinion too ?
Yes, it is late editing... I shot like 2hrs of video to edit quite a while back. Work and irl hasnt left me much time.
I will probably have two parts as it feels a little long still. Hopefully 1st half should be up before tomorrow.
I'm definitely interested in other people's opinions too! I've added a forum link and facegroup link. feel free to give everyone reviews or ideas.
If you havd a 360 csmera. How do you view it on damand whenever you want like you can do with the orginal headunit?
Touch the screen camera icon.
Hi I installed this unit yesterday and the Nissan logo at start up does not work.also I cannot get the theme you show on video.On opening front door it comes up on screen that the rear door is open? Any ideas please mate as you know what your doing.Thanks stay safe
Looking back then, is there anything you DONT like ?
Great video. Do you provide installation services please
Ciao da un fan italiano
I have followed these instructions but there is no sound at all coming through my car speakers. Have even tried connecting the different red and white wires, but did not work.
Have also reset, unplugged everything and still no sound.
I do not have bose.
I don't see any difference in the wires either
I’ve installed this unit (following your video) but having trouble with voice control & operating stuff on android.
Any chance of video showing how to use the unit.
Den
Hi I came across your video and it's a fantastic tutorial so thankyou. I do have a question, I retrofitted a mmi in my BMW and the audio output was via aux which affected the sound quality compared to stock. Next week I will be getting a Qashqai and I wondered if this mmi uses the same output or does it use the factory speakers input to retain the orginal sound quality? Thankyou
It'snhas its own amp and is a stand alone system so you won't have any issues like that.
@@iceze thankyou for your speedy response. How frequent are the OTA updates and have you faced any real issues with it to date? Is it a torx screwdriver required for the installation and if so, which one? Also does the rev camera/360 operate exactly the same as stock with guidelines/moving etc?
Nice video , thanks for the info you put in, do you know if you can fit a reverse camera to it and how?
Yes you can, there are separate instructions for that
Great video, it really helps, when I touch the button on the steering wheel or when the car is in reverse it seems that the camera app freezes and I have to switch off the car, do you know a fix for this? do I have to upgrade firmware or is it something else?
I did switch the camera to NTSC in settings to get a good image. I also connect a dab+ USB adapter to the head-unit and it starts immediately to play, is there a way to switch that off?
The brown fakra z connector for the DAB. Do you of any issues using these with the usb DAB adapters that you can get for these android head units? The usb adapters state 5v active antenna voltage and I cannot find any information about what active voltage the Nissan fitted DAB aerialS use. I am hoping it's as straightforward as buying another male-to-male adapter cable, like you used for the GPS.
So the 360 camera will only work in reverse? That's not cool. Can it be popped up on demand like it was using the camera button?
Bought a similar unit.. weird issue with the phone app always popping up when I am using CarPlay and press the break all the way or has a bit of
Hello Sir, great guide! I ma interested to buy this product but I need your help to get some information more clear. I have Qashqai J11 with old version Nissan Connect. When you say SatNav do you mean the Nissan Connect navigator or another system?
Yes, satnav link if if your original unit has navigation
You make it look easy. I'm considering buying one but looks a hard install for me lol. Wanna do it for me?? 😝
It can be scary thinking you're taking your own car apart, especially if it's new. But check the description for all the links and groups, order it, follow the video step by step and you'll be well happy you did it. There are a few people on the group's and I'm sure any of us can happily help. Gl 👍
@@iceze Yeah we used to have a place in Nottingham that would do installs but it closed down so trying working out if this is something i would attempt myself. Maybe
Installed it today. Went smooth thanks to your vid cheers mate. On another note do you have any idea how to get rid of the floating button on the screen. It's so annoying
And also do you know what the developer options code is?
Very good !!! Thank you. Video of the software and the head unit in action ? Thank you.
Tried this yesterday but my cars connectors are different with only 1 fitting. The pin outs are all different and after plugging the only fitting plug in, the fuse for audio in my car blew (found this out when I put the original screen back in and it didnt turn on)
Any ideas on where I can find an android unit that has the right harness for my car. It's the same shape as yours, (2020 Nissan Qashqai 1.3 DiG-T 160 N-Tec)
Any help would be appreciated!
I got one from Sinosmart and the front camera is not every thing is good except the front camera. Any suggestions on how to get it working?
That multimedia is quite cheap. What is the difference compared to Dasaita which is much more expensive? Is it worth buying this or the much more expensive Dasaita?
None. 2015/2016 CPUs vs 2022. Useable units but they're just superceeded by faster units. Not worth paying anywhere near the same price let alone more.
@@iceze Thank you for your reply. I was looking at a Dasaita installation which is much more expensive than your unit. So I wasn't sure if this unit was any good. But it is certainly better than the factory one. :)
Great video! I have nissan qashqai 2018 Tekna+ . How about blind spot feature is it working fine? Also is a sign recognition system working that displays speed limit on the screen behind steering wheel?
Thank you for the video.
Yea both work.
@@iceze Could also tell me if the park assist works well?
@@thom8029 Works fine
Hi. Can you still use the controls for the volume and others on the sterring wheel?
Yes
my nissan doesnt have 360 camera, just normal rear camera. do i need to buy any other adaptor or is it ok? and are the parking sensors working properly?
Help !
There is no power in the head unit any idea or solution please
I have checked everything 2,3 times fuse ok voltage power there but headunit no powered on ?
having a strange issue with Navigation. Whichever app is set to default navigation Maps or Waze, when launched no sound on navigation when sound set to "mixing". it's like it's trying but no sound comes out. if I launch either app from app drawer, I get sound but not mixed sound. it just plays over whatever is playing in background. any ideas how to fix. Sinosmart have been no help whatsoever!!
Hi, would I only need to order the Unit you've mentioned above for my 2014 (has satnav) or do I need anything else from your links like the fakra connector. I'd be putting a 4G SIM in mine
Everything needed will be included mate
Do you have any advice on how to set up the external mic that comes with the unit? It comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack but there is nowhere to plug it in so I am currently unable to make calls as no one can hear me. Any help is much appreciated.
I have tried but on my screen shows no signal what could be problems. Back camera is not working
Dors it still work? And can se retail factory 360 camera?
Need this in my car, sorry watching without sound, is there sat nav with this?
After last update of EMUI, rustling noise appears in the background which is very annoying. Please, solve this 😵💫
so none of these chinese units have DAB? whats the point in it then lol
They need a usb dongle and then the oem aerial connects
when will you show us the use of the tablet?
Thanks
Hello, was wondering if you can help me, I wanted to had a underseat sub which also uses rca cable, so if AUX L OUT and AUX R OUT sends single from andriod unit to AUX L IN and AUX R IN to send out sound to car speakers what do the other two cables on the 20 pin do? The AUX L IN and AUX R IN? would this be for the sub?
mt steering controls are not working since installing this unit. do you have any recommendations on how to fix it?
hello what is the brand of the Android car radio you have installed on your qashqai, thank you
I’m having trouble with my reverse camera it seems to be going all fuzzy I don’t know if I’ve pressed on something. Now I can’t get a clear picture Anyone have any ideas.?
Ekran karartısı gelmesinin sebebi ne olabilir lütfen yardım edin herşey calışıyo ama ekran cok kısık ışıkta
Hi its great video
Unfortunately I can't find the setting for park assist
I had it before had some problem with it
So I reset it
Now I can't find it
Is it possible to do a video how to activate parkassist
Thanks
You probably need to update the MCU by choosing the canbus again. Maybe contact the seller? Try joining the facebook group for help too
Hi, thanks for the video. Do you know where the rear camera speaker is, it has very bad sound and I want to replace it?
Camera speaker? Do you mean the beeping when reversing? I've had no issues on mine. Is your other music etc ok? Maybe recheck your connections
Hello iceze, great video helped me with the install. Can you please help? I have the PA button once I press this it says 'park assist not avaliable' is there a setting? I have a tekna.
Is your car started? Restart your unit once maybe.
@@iceze yes car is started camera's work but no park assist. How do I restart please?
Did you have to do anything with grounding the unit? I’ve installed 2 after market units into my xtrail and both have hissing coming from the speakers.
No, nothing. If you have BOSE, It may be to do with how the amps work together. You could try to flat EQ it, or slightly lower it out of the headunit.
i know its a long time ago but what specs was the sinosmart
Hi, I’ve just fitted one in my Qashqai, I’d be very interested on your views. My forward button on steering doesn’t seem to work music from phone and I can still hear radio when I start Apple Music, that’s my main issues with the unit at the moment, how about you?
You have to make sure Bluetooth audio is as source. If you tap Bluetooth and choose the music tab from below it should play fine.
Does the factory navigation display in the dashboard in front of the steering works with the head unit satnav? With the factory head unit, when we use satnav it will also show directions display in the dashboard.
No. You will lose that on any android unit to change to.
Only the Nissan factory Satnav can communicate with the vehicle information display.
Hello, where to buy this Dasaita I have nissan qashqai 2018 with 360 and parking assist.
hi, I have a qashqai tekna with 360 reverse gear, before buying it I would like to know if it is possible to switch the cameras as with the connect. thanks...
Have a look at the next video ruclips.net/video/0De50obUlWE/видео.html
Hola sabe alguien el motivo por el que siempre me sale el modo oscuro ? Ya no se pone claro cuando es de día siempre está modo oscuro
How do you make sound work? My bose unit has no sound 😢
So I have a nissan xtrail 2017 (non sat nav edition) where can I get the adapter for an android SHA16/23 Head unit?
Hi can you help me with the link of the screen that you fitted on so I can buy I won’t to change my screen it is Nissan Qashqai 2015 petrol 1.2 if you can from amazon link please thank you!.
Can you not use fakra to sma cable to use oem equipment for DAB +?
Hi would this fit any model of Qashqai? My car is a 2018 irish model but it is a (sv ss 18) model don't know is it the same as a J11 model?
Yes, will do
Hi my friend.
At the end of the cable assembly, you attach the blue and white cable(8pin). Then you removed the socket while inserting the multimedia. What does this socket do?thanks
Well spotted! That 8 pin connector is indeed needed. It was just a mistake in editing.
The 8pin blue and white cable is canbus operations. If not plugged in you may have issues with the steering buttons or factory 360 camera.
@@iceze ok.thanks
@@iceze thanks. Understood. If the vehicle has a 360 degree camera (with canbus box), it is necessary to plug it (8pin)
@@icezeAçıklamalarınız için teşekkür ederim.
Hello, is it possible to use an old apple ipod with this radio?
Very nice clip...I would to know if all the operations on the haead unit are transmitted to the center small screen ? On this center screen I have speed limit icon which read the speed limit. Does this head unit do it ?. I know that Dasaita does it. So can i buy this head unit ang buy an dasaita canbus ?. Thank you
Speed limits will still work on the vehicle information display. It comes with the canbus as package, so there's no need to order something different. You wont have any extra features on another canbus, as its not manufactured by either company and it may very well be the same one!
@@iceze Thank you, but how about directions on gps ?
Hi, do you have any experience with battery saver? With original navi system, when motor shutdown. The radio plays until driver doors are not opened (max 10 minutes ). This one stop playing immediatelly.
Thats correct. All the android units are made this way. One work around is to quickly tap the start button on your car to put the car back into accessories after turning off your engine.
Installed and seems to work. There seems to be an issue where the car does not.see it. Help? I cant afjust the clock on my dashboard and the keys on my steering wheel dont work (cant set them up, its like the system isnt connected somehow).
The time is taken from the head unit. So just setup there.
For steering control, make sure the 8pin connector is plugged in.
How have you found the day to day operation of the head unit so far?
Does it ever take a while to startup, lock, or freeze when switching apps?
How is the sound quality?
I use it every day to work. It seems to have a standby mode which last a couple of days at least, where the bootup is very quick. If my car's not driven for a while, a full start takes longer. Going between UI there no lockups or freezing. I've had a couple instances where Waze wouldn't connect to internet and the fix has been a restart.
Sound quality I would say is the same. I'm no audiophile, so I can't really say if there's things others would pick up on.
How is the unit performing after 6months ? Thanks mate!!
It's doing great. It's a part of the 'normal car' for me now.
Hi mate just to know can I install this carplay without dab radio any problem
Can you do a how to use video please
Hi can you share link to radio unit ?
I dont seem to have the tlink after software upgrade any ideas where I can find the file ??Please
I im planning to buy same unit for xtrail 2015. Is it same installation process with qashqai or a bit different? Thanks
Pretty much the same. Join the forums, as I believe someone else has done their X-Trail too.
Which year model? And are you in UK?
