The multimedia system (MMS) Media Nav Evolution was given to the Lada XRAY from Renault (also installed on the Renault Duster). It has many features that are not written about in the car's owner's manual, so many owners are not even aware of them. For example, MMC can display information about on-board network voltage, speed, cabin temperature and other parameters.
To get to this service menu of the radio, press and hold the MENU button for a few seconds. After this, a secret menu will open, where radio errors will be displayed, it will be possible to test the performance of its individual units, and also obtain information about the current speed, network voltage and temperature in the cabin.
How to unlock the radio
To unlock the audio system, you need to enter a special code, as discussed above. While the code entry process is easy to understand, getting it is much more difficult. There are 3 ways to find out the unlock code for your car radio:
Let's take a closer look at each method to determine which one is suitable specifically for your situation.
How to find out the code to unlock the radio yourself
In recent years, car manufacturers have begun to post information about the radio unlock code directly in the car interior, realizing the problems with the difficulty of replacing the battery or removing it for winter storage, charging, increasing the density of the electrolyte and other purposes. In particular, the code to unlock the radio can be written on a special sticker inside the glove compartment. This method is effective if you need to decode a Ford radio, since almost every car has a similar sticker attached at the factory.
If you can’t find the unlock code in your car’s glove compartment, you can try searching for the treasured numbers on the Internet on special sites. There are many resources on the network that have special services that allow you to enter the radio number, and the program will determine the code for it. The disadvantage of this method is that to determine the audio system number it must be removed from the car, and for this in most modern cars it is necessary to disassemble part of the front panel. Removing the radio is still half the problem. There are many stickers with service information on it, but which one is the radio code, you also have to search on the Internet. If the car model is rare, there is a high probability that finding the radio unlock code online will be quite difficult, if not impossible.
Unlock the radio at the dealership
One option is to unlock your car's radio at the dealership. Employees of official representative offices of a car brand have access to a library containing service books for specific cars released for sale. By identifying your car, dealership employees can access information about the radio unlock code.
The disadvantage of this method is that not all dealership centers undertake such work. If the employees agree to help, it will be for a fee, and you will first have to drive your car to the dealers.
Use the services of radio unlocking specialists
If the radio is completely blocked, specialists do the following:
If you have information about the radio unlock code, try to do as much as possible to avoid a complete loss of power to the multimedia system. Carry with you a working car battery, and if necessary, urgently install it in place of a faulty or discharged battery.

Viewing fault codes for a Lada XRAY car is possible using the Grade-X diagnostic tool in the “Fault Codes” mode. For each detected malfunction, the following is stored in the CBKE memory: fault code; DTC status status (active or inactive).
- The DTC is stored in memory with the status "active" if the last diagnostic test completed with a negative result.
- The DTC is stored in memory with a status of "inactive" if the last diagnostic test completed with a positive result, but previous ones were completed with a negative result. This manifestation is possible if the car has an intermittent fault.
The cause of an intermittent malfunction may be damage to the wire insulation, damage to the contacts in the connecting blocks, or unreliable connection of the blocks.
Decoding the car radio by serial number
If you have the Internet at hand, you can unlock the audio device yourself. The action plan is described below.
Removing the radio
Correct decoding of a car radio by serial number begins with removing it from its original location. Most often, it is fixed with special latches: to move them away, insert a thin, long flat-head screwdriver between the body of the product and the dashboard. If something doesn’t work out, don’t use force - it’s better to read the instructions for the radio: it should indicate how to install and remove the device.
Removing the radio from its original location
Where is the serial number located?
Look for a barcode sticker on the case where identification numbers will be printed. You will need the one after the Serial No. The sticker is most often located on the top, less often the back, of the product.

Hello everyone. Tell me, I have the same MMS on HRAY, I noticed on the flash drive:
I made 2 folders on a flash drive, pushed 37 mp3 files into one, 160 into the other. I push it into the radio, from the first folder it finds 16 songs and plays, from the other 56 and also plays.
The question is - why is this so?
I tried throwing them into a shared directory without folders - it finds about 3 times fewer songs in number (he writes in the list there)..
I couldn’t find the answer. So how’s it going? the same or not? (this question has been removed) Still wondering how to get to work at her desk?

I remember you talked a lot in the topic about MMS Kalinagrantspriors, do the authors of the alternative menu have plans to create something similar with medianav? In specialized forums, the shell was slightly updated, alternative navigators and videos were made, but in terms of diagnostics and route guidance, it was similar to what they did not do for MMS Prior. Standard programs such as hobdrive work only via bluetooth, while the phone naturally does not work. But there is a CAN bus in the media, although it is output only to the diagnostic connector, where there is a common connection for the car. It seems to me that if you put jumpers there, then the GU will be connected to the main connection of the car, which accordingly makes it possible to add both the shuttle bus and diagnostics, similar to those available in the alternative or single menu. Or maybe this topic is already being developed somewhere? Thank you.
How to find Pre-code
Another reason for enabling encoding is poor contact in the power supply plug, which is connected to the rear wall of the head unit. In this case, the radio operates for a few minutes and then turns off. When you turn it on again, you will be prompted to enter a password.
The code required to unlock the radio can be calculated using a special calculator. It requires entering a 4-digit alphanumeric code printed on a paper label that is pasted on the top cover of the head unit.
To dismantle the radio from Largus (and how to find out the code), you need to:
- Prepare a special removable device, unified for Renault radio tape recorders. The equipment has a factory code 7711381821 and is purchased through official dealers or spare parts stores. To reduce costs, ballpoint pen refills or metal rods of suitable diameter with rounded tips are used.
- Insert pullers into the 4 holes located in the corners of the radio. Press down on the elements to release the clamps; it is possible to remove the spring clips alternately from the left and right.
- Carefully pry off the bottom of the front panel using a plastic spatula or an old bank card.
- Pull the head unit completely out of the mounting shaft. Disconnect the power plugs and check their condition (in case of periodic spontaneous shutdowns).
- The pre-code is a part of the barcode that is applied to the square label with the Renault markings. You need to write down the last 4 characters, which include 1 letter and 3 numbers, on a piece of paper.
- Install the removed elements in their original places. The radio is mounted without distortions until all latches are activated.
- Enter the code value into the online calculator, which generates a code to unlock the head unit.

Using PRE-CODE
In some cases, you will not need to remove the car radio from its socket. This applies to Renault owners. In cars of this brand, all audio devices have a Security code, which is a 4-digit combination of a letter and 3 numbers. After turning on the device for a couple of seconds, simultaneously press keys 1 and 6. If the display does not display Pre-Code-XXXX, you will have to pull out the radio to read the necessary information on its back wall (as shown in the photo below).
- enter the letter and numbers found on the back wall of the radio (PRE-Code);
- the program or online resource will generate a 4-digit number, which will become a code number;
- dial it and hold button 6 until the radio makes a characteristic squeak, sound, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages
The radio on the Lada Xrey is equipped with an excellent navigation system that distinguishes road signs at a long distance and notifies you in advance which speed mode to choose. The top location of the device is very convenient when operating the device.
Car interior Lada Xray
The only disadvantages include a small viewing angle and low contrast. All this makes it difficult to control the media device. This is especially pronounced on a bright sunny day.
Six large icons displayed on the screen imply:
- Turning the radio on and off, as well as searching for the required wave;
- Playback of audio files via USB port, iPod, BT, AUX output;
- Talking on the phone in hands-free mode;
- View maps;
- Navigation system. View or follow a route including all necessary options;
- System settings.
The head unit, made in Korea from LG, was almost completely borrowed from Duster and Logan, taking into account all the built-in functionality. The only difference is the screen saver - instead of Renualt, Lada is displayed.
Radio in car interior
The advantage of such a radio:
Radio panel
Among the shortcomings, the following points stand out, which may seem insignificant:
- Lack of analog (round) regulators.
- You can control the volume from the steering wheel. But you can only switch tracks from the monitor.
- The maximum support size for flash drives is 32 GB, subject to FAT32 formatting.
- Free updating of maps in the navigator is possible only once and no later than 3 months from the moment of activation.
- Inability to connect a subwoofer due to the lack of line outputs.
- Doesn't play video.
LADA Xray
All of the above shortcomings will be solved by the new firmware of the Xrey radio.
Head unit Lada Xray
The standard radio on Android 7th generation differs from others in that it acts as a gadget. You can connect a computer keyboard and mouse to it via Bluetooth. The built-in 4G LTE modem allows you not only to use uninterrupted Internet, but also to distribute it. Supports any SIM card. Relatively low price.
Yandex Auto price for Lada X-Ray
The cost of the system is 29,900 ₽. But there is a special price for Sberbank clients: from 1081 rubles per month.
What do you get for this amount without additional payment:
- Delivery and installation
- Six months of subscription to Yandex.Music
- Six months of free internet
How does the multimedia system work?
Voice control is one of the main features. Also interesting is the typical Yandex interface, which is maximally adapted to the psychology of users. You won’t need to get used to the Yandex.Auto multimedia system for Lada X-Ray for a long time, since it is built like widgets from a computer desktop. It is possible that you run several applications at once that work simultaneously without problems.
Which voice assistant do you think is the best?
AliceSiri
The main thing that captivates us about the Yandex.Auto system is the emphasis on the convenience of drivers. It is for them that the development was made. Let's look at the main functions and services built into the on-board computer.
Navigator
Allows you to see the optimal routes on a large screen. You won't have to strain to figure out where to go and ask the neighbor on the right for help. The system takes into account traffic jams and even repair work. It warns about the presence of cameras and road signs. Read more about the features of Yandex.Navigator.
Voice control with Alice
The well-known assistant Alice is a convenient alternative to managing services. Previously, it was necessary to take your attention from the road and adjust the necessary functions manually, which to some extent created the risk of an accident. Now it will be enough to give the voice command “Listen, Alice” and interact with the robot as quickly as possible. For example, you can dictate an address, give a command (find the nearest gas station or parking), or search for something on the Internet.
Music and radio
Convenient tuning of music and radio stations. It is even possible to select it to suit the mood or style of a certain era.
For everything to work well, you need an Internet connection, but routes can be easily built without it. You can always connect from your mobile device. However, in the future, in some cases, routers will be built in during production. Updates are downloaded while driving on the road.
The company is constantly working on updates. This fall (2019) innovations will appear that make interaction with the car even more comfortable.
The following options will open.
Transfer route from phone
You can create a route in Navigator on the way to the car. To do this you need to use your mobile device. The display will show it immediately after you start the car.
See where the car is parked
If the car was left far from the place where you were going, it doesn’t matter. Searches will no longer waste precious time. The app will tell you where the vehicle is located.
Open a window or trunk
If you don’t want or have the ability to get the keys, give a voice command to Alice or use the corresponding function of your smartphone.
Start the engine from a distance
To save time on warming up your car in winter, you can now start the engine right from home while you're still getting ready to go out. However, the function is relevant at any time of the year. Cooling or heating is done via a smartphone and the Station.
Pay the parking fee
Yandex.Auto eliminated the need to worry about paying for parking. The system fully automates the process, accurately determining the location, price and writing off the required amount.
Find out about evacuation
If the car begins to be towed or moves for some reason, the system will send a corresponding notification.
Pay for refueling
Paying for fuel at gas stations has also become easier. This is especially nice in cold or rainy times, since you don't even have to leave the vehicle.
Determine location without GPS
If there is no signal, Yandex.Auto will not stop “understanding” the location of the car. The data will come directly from the wheels.
Example of entering a code for Toyota
Radio tape recorders for cars of this brand use a 3-digit code. Turn on the device and wait for Security to appear on the display. Then press the top arrow and, while holding the button, dial one. Another word should appear - Code. Now enter the correct code by pressing numbers from 1 to 3. To confirm, press T1. If everything went well, Security will appear on the screen again and the radio will turn off. Turn it on and use it!
For Ford
For Nissan Note
For Audi (Symphony, Concept Plus models)
Check your vehicle's owner's manual. The serial number of the car radio and the unlock code are indicated on the 1st page, below the contents. Store the data in a place protected from prying eyes. If there is no information, use the code search using one of the methods described in the article. Once you receive the code, enter it:
- turn on the audio system, on the display of which you will see the word SAFE;
- press and hold the RDS, TP button at the same time and make sure that the number 1000 appears on the screen;
- enter the code numbers by pressing keys 1 to 4;
- Confirm the correctness of the entry by pressing RDS, TP, holding the keys for 3 seconds: the radio will turn off, turn it on and use it.
Radio in Audi
For VW
Here, as in the case of Audi, you need to look at the first page of the car’s instructions. On it you will find the radio identification number and PIN code. If the device has touch controls, you need to enter the code numbers by pressing the monitor buttons. If the device is normal, press the buttons for fixed radio stations. When the code appears on the display, confirm it by pressing OK or Enter. If entered incorrectly, the radio will be temporarily blocked. To try again, leave the device alone for 2 hours. Then you can enter the code again.

Situations in which the radio is blocked
Along with the positive effect achieved through radio coding, a new problem has come to the automotive industry. Since each car audio system has its own unlock code, which is reset from memory when the power is turned off, a problem has arisen with battery repair and diagnostics. After removing the battery from the car, after a maximum of 10 minutes the radio will lock if it does not receive power again. In this regard, many car enthusiasts began to charge the battery without removing the terminals, so as not to block the audio system.
Easy way
If the car is fairly new, especially under warranty, and you don’t have an hour of free time and the desire to save a couple of thousand, you can put the problem on the shoulders of servicemen. It will be a great success if the employees of the dealership agree to provide assistance for free (usually the price starts from 2,500 rubles). Before you find out the radio code, you will need to tell the specialists the serial number of the player (where it is located and what it looks like - we’ll look at it later).
It is likely that the former owner of your car also wondered how to unlock the radio. Having his contact information will be a real salvation for you in this case. Since the code is unchangeable information, to prevent repetition of an unpleasant situation, car owners often write it down with a marker or stick a sticker on the body of the radio. In any case, if the previous methods did not help you, the device will have to be removed from the panel.
Serial number
How to decode a car radio:
- remove the player from its standard seat. It is held on by special latches that need to be pushed aside by inserting a long, flat object (like a woman's nail file) into the cavity between the radio and the instrument panel. Detailed information on extraction can be found in the repair and operating manual for your car model;
- Find the marking sticker on the case on which you have applied the barcode, as well as other identification numbers. You need a combination of letters and numbers after the Serial No. – this will be the serial number;
- Next, on the Internet you need to find a service that, using Serial No., generates an unlock code. Eg, . In the left corner there is a catalog of car brands. After this, you need to select the player type. You will receive a list of models from which you need to select your car radio. The convenience of this resource is that most types of devices are photographed. After clicking on the “View as gallery” tab, the list will be displayed in the form of pictures. Selecting a model will redirect you to a page with a field for entering the serial number (“Enter serial number”). All you have to do is enter the data and click “Search”. Radio-code.lt is not the only one of its kind, so you can use another code calculator. Most resources of this type will require you to follow a standard registration process before decoding your radio.
Never send SMS when creating an account. Most likely this is a scam site. Therefore, it is not a fact that after withdrawing funds you will be able to decode the player.
Entering the code
When typing a combination, be careful, as the number of attempts is limited. In some cases, to activate the code entry mode, you need to hold down two specific keys. The number is dialed using the radio station selection keys. Pressing the button once adds one to the corresponding number on the display. Sometimes after entering you need to press an additional button (for example, SC on Mercedes).
PRE-Code
Many Renault owners do not need to remove the player from the panel before unlocking the car radio. Standard devices are marked with a special Security code (a four-digit code with a first letter and three numbers). After turning on, hold down keys 1 and 6 for a few seconds. If “PRE-Code-ХХХХ” does not appear on the screen, the car radio will still have to be removed.
Unlocking is carried out using a code generated by a special script. To calculate, you can use an online resource or a special DOS program.
- Entering the PRE code.
- The program generates a four-digit number, which will be the code for self-unlocking (4702).
- After dialing, press and hold button 6 until the decoded device emits a characteristic signal.
Reading the chip
Decoding the radio using an alternative method will require the basic skills of a radio engineer and additional equipment:
- soldering iron, rosin, flux for desoldering. It is most convenient to use special clothespins for microcircuits;
- programmer (universal or homemade);
- special software for reading memory dumps.
After manually entering the code inside the car radio, identification occurs. Of course, for this to happen, the correct set of characters must be “hardwired” inside the device. The essence of the method is to solder to a non-volatile microcircuit on which the code is written and read the information.
To decode you need:
- remove the cover of the car radio, if necessary, the CD drive;
- find the memory chip. Usually it is small in size, with 8 “legs”. The photo shows a radio tape recorder with a Honda CR-V;
- The circuit can be unsoldered and connected to the programmer. To work with BR9010, you can use UPA USB Programmer. As you can see in the video, you can actually assemble something like a programmer with your own hands from improvised means. The Chameleon programmer can be used as reading software. It is important that the device supports operation with the type of microcircuit that is installed in the radio;
- reading memory dump. Among the received data, you need to find a four-digit number. This may take time as the manufacturer tries to protect the code.
Don't be alarmed if your first entry attempt is unsuccessful. The combination in memory can be written in reverse order. To check, it is not necessary to solder the circuit back. You just need to connect power to the car radio. The player will operate normally, but without a memory function (for example, the selected radio station).
Once upon a time, the theft of car radios became a serious problem: standard audio devices were standard and easily installed in almost any car. In the 80s and 90s, a stolen system could be freely sold. Trying to solve the problem, developers came up with their own connectors, increasing and decreasing the size of the devices, but this was of little use. Finally, factories producing radio tape recorders began to code each product. The boom in thefts has subsided, but another problem has arisen: how to decode the radio if it was disconnected from the battery? The locking usually works 10 minutes after, for example, removing the battery. Theoretically, this protects against theft, but in practice it causes inconvenience to the car owner when repairing the car.
Reading the chip
This alternative method requires practical experience in the radio engineering field, as well as special equipment:
You will have to spend time searching: the manufacturer is trying to protect the data. If after entering the result is negative, do not despair: try entering the numbers in reverse order. When testing, there is no need to solder the part back: just connect the radio to the on-board network. The device will work, but without remembering, for example, the frequencies of radio stations.

Functions
The radio tape recorder installed in the LADA Largus car provides the following functions:
- search, save and listen to radio stations in the FM and AM frequency ranges;
- displaying the names of radio stations and tracking them by genre (RDS function);
- playback of audio recordings recorded in MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV formats;
- listening through the car speakers to audio recordings from other sound-reproducing devices connected to the radio using USB and Jack connectors, as well as via Bluetooth;
- connection of a hands-free wireless kit, which makes it easier to communicate on the phone while the car is moving.
In addition, the radio, which does not have a removable front panel, is equipped with a security coding function. According to the car manufacturers, this will protect it from simple theft.
