Before ordering a frame, we recommend that you make sure that the dimensions of the frame match the dimensions of the radio you plan to install.

Nuances of installing an audio system

Dismantling of the standard audio system is completed

Without knowing all the intricacies of connecting the radio, it will be impossible to carry out the installation correctly, as a result this will lead to rapid discharge of the battery.

Connect the radio in parallel sequence with the red and yellow wires. This connection allows the system to be turned on and off only using a button on the panel of the device itself. Sometimes the radio circuit is specially designed so that the amplifier is powered in standby mode. Such a system consumes more energy, so the battery drains quickly.

What is the correct installation of a radio? To begin with, you should highlight 4 main wires, each of which has its own color and performs a specific function. The black wire goes to ground, the yellow one provides power to the memory and the audio system itself, the red one provides a signal to turn on the MMC, and the blue one turns on the antenna and other possible devices.

Before connecting, professionals recommend assembling a simple circuit that will allow you to connect the radio through the ignition, due to which the battery will be charged much longer. When working with wires and circuits, you will need to pinout the connector. This will make the circuit easier to work with and understand.

The circuit is assembled in the following order:

• two diodes are soldered onto the board - VD1 and VD2;
• the red wire is soldered to the VD1 anode;
• another red wire is soldered to the cathode of VD1 and VD2;
• both blue wires are connected to the VD2 anode.

The joints can be protected with special cambrics - this will avoid breakdowns.

Before connecting the circuit, you will have to remove the radio and the slide; it is not necessary to remove the console.

All wires must be connected in the correct order:

• wire No. 1 is connected to the contact from the rear window heating button;
• The 2nd wire is connected to the multimedia system;
• wire No. 3 is soldered to blue, which is responsible for turning on the antenna;
• The 4th wire is soldered to the blue antenna wire.

The previously assembled board can be secured inside the torpedo with a fixed tie. When connecting all contacts, only the soldering method, insulated with heat shrink, is used. Screwing of wires is excluded. Before starting work, be sure to disconnect the battery.

With this connection, the radio will turn on only when the ignition is turned on, but if it is turned off, it will continue to work until the driver turns it off. Restarting is possible when the car is started again.

Bottom line

Not every minimum configuration of a car today will please you with the presence of a standard radio. If, nevertheless, such a device is present in the database, it is far from a fact that it can please you with its informative interface and sound quality. If your version of the car has a push-button radio, then, as we found out from the article, installing a more modern radio, as well as the subsequent connection of the radio, is not a difficult matter, the main thing is to approach everything correctly.

The LADA Granta model also did not acquire the role of an exception in this list. After all, the trend of a modern car suggests the owner’s ability to carry out exciting measures to improve and tune his “iron horse,” and you shouldn’t be upset, because a push-button radio is easily replaced with a modern one.

Stages of dismantling the Kalina radio

Car owners do not always install a radio in an empty place. Often, before installing a new audio system, you have to dismantle the standard one. Many drivers are not satisfied with its quality and characteristics. In addition, according to reviews from car owners, the standard radio very quickly begins to “freeze”, “slow down” and “glitch”. That is why the owner of a Lada Kalina car first has to remove the existing audio system, and only then install a new one, chosen independently.

Stages of removing the original Kalina radio:

• dismantle the top removable panel;
• remove the plastic frame;
• using the keys included with the standard radio, remove the system from the tunnel: insert the keys into the sides of the radio and pull it towards you;
• disconnect the connectors with wires and the antenna.

You can install the radio with the help of specialists in a specialized center. But it’s realistic to do everything yourself, because there’s nothing complicated about it. The procedure takes no more than two hours, it all depends on skill and experience.

Car enthusiasts can give their stock radio another chance by tuning it. Reflashing the software settings will make the interface more convenient, the performance and service life of the device will increase.

What is MMC Kalina 2?

Depending on the selected vehicle configuration, the consumer receives MMC Kalina 2 with various options. At the time of choosing the necessary equipment, the future owner must carefully study this issue. It is possible to install a 2 din radio with or without a CD drive, touch screen. In the last few years, car owners have given preference to models with touch control mode.

Connecting external devices

In order not to overload the Lada with unnecessary wires and inputs, the connection between the radio and an external device occurs via the Bluetooth protocol. It is enough to set the necessary settings once for the system to remember them.

If you wish, you can download music from external media to the internal memory of the radio or listen directly from a flash drive or phone. If the second is selected, then the sound comes from the speakers installed in the car or wireless headphones. When it comes to connecting memory cards, they must be formatted in a certain way - FAT16/FAT32. The connection connector is located on the back side.

Repair and warranty service are as follows. If the installation of the radio in Kalina was carried out correctly, then once a year it is necessary to do a preventive examination at a service center.

If the service period has passed, then everything can be done at home. All wires must be carefully disconnected. Using a screwdriver, loosen the fastenings and remove the radio. Then it is delivered to the workshop, where the failed element is replaced.

Having mastered the production of the Lada Granta in the liftback body, VAZ began supplying a standard radio (not touchscreen) in the Norma+ car configurations. Let us immediately note that the radio tape recorders intended for Kalina-2 and Granta look the same, but their mounting is different, so these devices are not interchangeable. Looking ahead, let's say that a review made by the owner of a car with a similar radio is presented on video. Now let’s talk about what exactly VAZ is offering today to owners of Kalin and Grant in the Norma+ configuration.

Flashing process

The most popular among motorists is the firmware of the Granta head unit. This has no effect on the sound, but adds some features that the standard interface does not have. For example, a convenient touch keyboard appears, called up from a number of programs, and the ability to access the Internet. In order to reflash the media system, you will need an SD card using FAT formatting; you can use the same card, but formatted in exFAT.

First you need to download the firmware, having first carefully searched for it on the Internet. It’s easier to find it on thematic auto forums. After downloading, copy the necessary files to the root directory of the card, having previously written them to a flash drive. Then we install the card in the slot on the radio and reboot it. Once the reboot status bar is full, you can use the expanded interface. It's worth noting that to return to features such as radio and Bluetooth, you need to remove the SD card with the alternative menu and reboot the system again.

Also on car forums you can find craftsmen experimenting with firmware that does not remove the radio and some other modes from the menu. There is information that they have somehow learned to read and decrypt data from a KAN bus suitable for the MMC. The firmware may also require screen calibration before you can work with the alternate menu. Follow the instructions and everything will be quick and easy.

Choosing the right radio size

We carry out installation either independently or by contacting specialists at the service center. In the second case, the service is paid.

By default, all VAZ and Lada models are equipped with a 1-DIN radio. The opening dimensions correspond to: 180 x 50 mm. This is an old standardization that has been in force since the times of the USSR. Modern audio modules can be purchased complete with a pre-installed LCD display. The size of the opening must comply with the standard: 180 x 100 mm, that is, doubled in height. Size marking: 2-DIN.

To install the radio in the Granta liftback, cut out the top pocket, remove the plastic, and install the assembled module. For a beginner, the process will seem somewhat complicated, so strictly follow the instructions.
