I've got the chance of buying a 2012 astra Bluetooth unit but wondered if I can fit it to my 2011 tourer or would it all need to be recoded? I've rang a guy about it locally but he didn't know lol.

Hi all,

So this thread will be used for me to gather info and then add it to this original post...rather than having info all over various threads etc.

I want to start off by linking to the module I'm personally installing:

http://www.iceboxauto.com/vauxhall-opel-...id-44-m072

There are two other main models I'm aware of which are the C072 and A1884 (think that's the model number) which have varying difference

Welcome to my tutorial on installing the Android M072 Aftermarket Head Unit (this tutorial could probably be used for other head units too) and wireless reverse camera. So here’s a pic of everything I ordered and needed for this mod:

Head Unit Itself:

So you’ll want to follow the tutorial that @rusy2009 put up on how to remove the head unit:

So I have done a little bit of digging around for options regarding replacing head units etc.

ICEBOX M072 with DAB and aerial approx. £400
Retrofit DAB to CD400/400+ approx. £200
Aliexpress MTK3360. approx. £200 
Aliexpress "Kanor" approx. £370 
Aliexpress RFG7002 approx. £180
Aliexpress Q7882A approx. £250

None of the Aliexpress units list DAB as an option though.

Hey chaps!

Anyone interested in the DAB module with antenna that I have for the M072 unit? I only bought the thing out of curiosity and never actually listen to radio. It would need mounting somewhere better than where I mounted it but it works fine.

I'll create a sale post if needed but wanted to see if anyone was interested first as id have to take all my dash apart to get to it to take it out and get pics.

Hello All, this has probably been posted a hundred times before. But, I have the cd400 factory fitted, just wondering what's the best SatNav unit to buy? Heard some of the cheap ones are very unreliable, maps not up to scratch, Bluetooth streaming is a bit dodgy. So just wanted to know who has done the change and what unit you got? Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers.

hi all

im new on this site and only just got my first astra what i would like help with is fitting an after market head unit as i do like my music 

my first option would be to fit a sat nav unit like the alpine ine w990bt this requires a speed pulse signal for more accurate position on the unit where would i find the speed pulse wire to tap off??

i could forget sat nav and go with an alpine ive w585bt to fit both of these i will need to change the fascia is this a pig of a job or not to
