Ah, thanks, I thought it might be obvious once I do the install but handy to know what to expect

Yes all of those vehicle settings are available on the menu.

Thanks!  So does the existing menu superimpose on the new head unit screen, or it it in an Android settings menu?  Just trying to get this clear in my mind.  Ta.

Hi Marcus,

I'm guessing those links only work in Tapatalk 'cos I found them here...

Looks very promising.  I'm just fussing because I'm worried about settings such as "Default fan speed in AUTO mode" - I wouldn't want to have to swap the head unit back, to change the setting!

But many thanks for the photos - much appreciated.

Jonathan.

I'd install it anyway.  Practice makes perfect. Think I  did it 4x.

I thought you could maybe know this problem what I have whit my Android radio. I bought this model:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Android-4-4-Two-Din-Car-DVD-For-Opel-Astra-J-Auto-Radio-RDS-GPS-Navi/32317249594.html

Im trying to replace my CD500 radio unit in my Astra J whit this Android. Normally its a replacement for a CD400 model but the fitting is the same like a CD500 model. After I installed the radio I saw a little problem. My middle console (see picture) did not power up so I was not able to use those buttons. The rest of the functinality was working fine like climate control, park sensor, door detection etc..


I think there must be a little difference in the wiring diagram of a CD400 model comparing whit a CD500 model. I think that it could be the original backplate connector of the screen, there goes one purple wire from the CANBUS to that connector. I saw on the pics from your link that there goes two wires to that connection (green and black). 


The mine looks like this:


So is there anyway to power up the middle console whit that Android radio? If there is anyone whit a great idea please let me know otherwise I'm afraid that I need to send it back the. 

Kind Regards

I had this problem, one plug from back if screen fits in to that part. I missed it at first but when I looked a second time I realised and it powers the buttons!

Can you maybe more specific about that connection, as far as I know i didn't had any connectors left for that see picture. 


I think I'm missing more cable's for that connectors what powers up the console. 
I think thats the connector what you mean right? Thats the one what comes from the back of original screen.

The plug that the old screen plugs  into is on the main wiring loom.(centre top black plug next to the speaker

Hi Tonto, 

Thank for the reply I thought also that it must be there somewere for the middle console. Can you maybe tell me were the green and the black wires go from that connector 
(red arrow)? I have the same CANBUS like you only one difference in wiring I guess see pic here below:



Like your can see I have only purple wire going there to my backscreen connector. And on your pic there were one black and one green one. Maybe if I can see how to connect that connector then I will be there and the middle console will power up and then me happy :-).
