M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info

Hi Sheppy, 

I thought you could maybe know this problem what I have whit my Android radio. I bought this model:

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.
