RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - bunje - 23:rd-Oct-2016 I just thought I'd give a little update on my experience with the head unit I've been using it for a month now. The radio is much louder the sound quality is better and the radio signal is much better using the standard astra aerial. I have the dab addon and the aerial I installed it in one of the pockets in the boot but I have a sports tourer. The signal isn't great so needs moving somewhere else. I didn't install the external mic for the Bluetooth just using the internal one and I make a few calls every day and I haven't had any complaints about me being quiet. I didn't like the igo sat nav. I've been using waze. I have to say it's fantastic for a free sat nav I connect the head unit to my phone as a hotspot and it works great. I haven't done a firmware update yet. So all in all I'm very pleased with the unit and would say if your considering this head unit don't hesitate Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - sheppy1 - 23:rd-Oct-2016 (23:rd-Oct-2016, 20:12:33)bunje Wrote: I just thought I'd give a little update on my experience with the head unit I've been using it for a month now. That's great to hear you're having such a good experience! I didn't even realise it had an internal Mic till someone on here said about it a few months back. I'm using an aftermarket Sony mic but folks still complain they can't hear me well! RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - Ray5880 - 26:th-Oct-2016 Looking for a film of some one wiring up the s160 to a j after cd 400 plus removed , thank you RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - bunje - 27:th-Oct-2016 its pretty straight forward to do yourself. there arent any chopping of wires or anything just plug and play. and most of the stuff your plugging in comes with the headunit. if you look at the first page of this thread you can see the wires that you need to connect to the astra loom RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - jamallorca - 30:th-Oct-2016 Do you get instructions on how to install it? As I was looking for video tutorials I couldnt find anything. RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - Ray5880 - 30:th-Oct-2016 I have just received the DAB module for my system , the Ariel is rather hideous looking thing , is there any sort of adapter that would let me connect astra Ariel to the dab !!

You need a dab/ fm aerial in order to pick up a dab signal, so unless you car aerial can pick up DAB then you will not receive any signal even if you do connect to it. Astra J aerials are FM only as standard, DAB signals were received from aerial built into the tailgate glass. M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - Rusty2009 - 30:th-Oct-2016 You can get a converter that will convert the signal to DAB but how good they are I don't know. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291641790370 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - stigeye - 30:th-Oct-2016 (30:th-Oct-2016, 10:20:50)Rusty2009 Wrote: You can get a converter that will convert the signal to DAB but how good they are I don't know. Never knew they did things like that, I''d be interested to know if they really did work, I would be a bit sceptical on signal quality though.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - Ray5880 - 30:th-Oct-2016 That's interesting , so if the shark fin on my j is fm only and is plugged into the cd400plus , why dose the dab work because there is no other Ariel plugged in the back of the cd400 plus coming from the back window . Confused now, RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - stigeye - 30:th-Oct-2016 Do you have anything like this in your tailgate...

Mine has the CD400 with bluetooth DAB and USB, but I would quite like the satnav and there are a couple of android apps I would like to use with it such as dogcaster. I wasn't sure if it would work though as the screen in the pics have all got the buttons as the edge of the bezel blacked out and in my car that is where the sport and VXR button are. Also I think I read that the performance drivetrain options can't be accessed by the head unit. Anyone fitted one to a VXR or GTC with the flex drivetrain stuff.

You'll be able to fit it but you will loose factory dab and USB. The unit comes with the USB connection for new unit but dab I think you need to download the app (think you get link when you order it) however you should be able to get a copy of the file for it. There might also be a way to use factory antenna for it. As for the black buttons they just pop out if you have the sport button. As for drivetrains I don't have a clue mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - AJBek - 14:th-Nov-2016 Thanks for that I am not that bothered by dab anyway as I can get all the stations in listen to on normal radio and mostly listen to podcasts via dogcatcher which will download via WiFi when I get home. Good news about the buttons popping out should fit fine then. I will need to check about the drive train stuff, but I shouldn't really need to change those settings once they are set anyway RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - jamallorca - 15:th-Nov-2016 hi i just installed mine today and unfortunate the unit wont turn on. any problem you think?

RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - marcus01 - 30:th-Nov-2016 Yip, I unplugged the external mic and use the built in one. I believe people can hear me fine using it. I. E.

No way to fix this Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - marcus01 - 4:th-Jan-2017 I installed the new kotix rom (Xmas edition) over the holidays and delighted to see that the UI for the radio and audio player look more grown-up. The radio app now stores the station names (and remembers them) rather than the mhz frequency on the station preset buttons. Happy days. Oh, and the rom is locked these days so you need to get a code from Marco to install it. Very helpful guy as I was battling to get the new skins to load. Turns out I had cocked up the build for the SD card. Have it down to a fine art now.

Like to skip a track change to phone and aux buttons? Not the heating controls they are fine. Only reason I ask is when Kotix is installed for me those buttons dont work correctly. Me and @sheppy1 have been having a lengthy discussion regarding the buttons and for him the stock rom seems fine with the audio buttons, so I wanted to check I wasnt going mad and it was one of the possible negatives of the Kotix rom Thanks RE: M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info - marcus01 - 7:th-Jan-2017 (6:th-Jan-2017, 22:55:55)Rymaan82 Wrote: @marcus01I would say that they all work but I will check them again.
