Step-by-step installation of a Lada Granta radio: how to install it yourself in standard, norm and luxury

On the updated Lada Granta FL family of cars, the radio was updated along with the car. However, its dismantling practically did not change. In order to remove the sound system, you first have to dismantle the panel with air and heater controls located below the radio.

We begin dismantling the panel by removing the adjustment knobs indicated by the arrows in the image above. Due to the fact that they are not secured in any way, it will be enough to pull them straight towards you.

Now we pry up the plastic panel using a special plastic spatula or a credit card and gently pull it towards ourselves. In some cases, this procedure can be performed with bare hands. Once the panel latches are released, it will be held in place by wires that can be disconnected if desired, but this is not required to remove the radio.

By removing the bottom plastic panel, we gained access to two self-tapping screws (see photo above) that hold the radio in its original place. Unscrew them using a Phillips screwdriver. In addition to self-tapping screws, the radio is attached to the dashboard using special latches, which cannot be accessed; the only way to remove the radio is to carefully pull it towards you.

If you follow the instructions described above, the latches of the radio on the Lada Granta FL can be easily snapped off, and to completely remove it, all that remains is to disconnect the power cable.

The Granta in Standard and Norma configurations comes from the factory without a radio. AvtoVAZ did everything to simplify the installation process: it ran the power and acoustic wires, installed the antenna and threw the wire into the cabin. All that remains is to plug in the speakers and head unit. Let's look at how the Lada Granta radio is installed.

Installation of 1 din radio in Grantu standard and norm

What is needed to install a radio in a VAZ 2190:

• The radio itself is also the head unit;
• flat screwdriver;
• Straight arms.

Abbreviations and symbols in the text:

• GU – head unit;
• MMS – multimedia system;
• DIN (din) – installation size for acoustics in a car.

Step-by-step instructions for installing the head unit

1. a narrow flat screwdriver or plastic spatula for installing acoustics;
2. 1-din radio with frame.

Step 1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the plastic plug for the radio. To do this, carefully pry it around the edges and pull it towards you.

The placeholder for the radio is installed from the factory.

Step 2. On the back of the plug there is a mount for ISO connectors. There are two connectors: music power and wires for the speakers.

Step 3. If necessary, connect an adapter for your radio to the ISO. Usually it comes included.

If an adapter is not needed, proceed to step 4.

If an adapter is needed for acoustics, it is included in the kit. Example in the picture.

Step 4. Remove the glove compartment. Holding the glove compartment clamps in the upper position, forcefully lower the glove compartment down.

Overcoming resistance, we pull the lid towards ourselves - the glove compartment is removed.

Removing the glove box on a Grant is easy when you know where its latches are located.

Step 5. Using a flashlight, we climb under the panel in the area of ​​the front right passenger's feet. Behind the felt on top we find a thick black wire - at its end there is a plug for the factory antenna.

We extend the plug to the installation location of the radio.

Here we are looking for the antenna wire.

Step 6. Install the metal slides for the radio. Use a screwdriver to bend the fastenings of the slide at the top and bottom to ensure secure fastening.

These fasteners secure the slide into the panel opening.

Step 7. Connect the power connectors, speakers, antennas to the radio. We insert it into the slide all the way. We attach a decorative plastic frame.

What to do if the length of the wires and antenna is not enough

To get by without extending the wires, you will have to suffer:

1. We put our hand under the panel in the glove compartment area;
2. We put the radio in the slide and connect it to the plugs;
3. We blindly connect the power, the connector for the speakers, the wires for the amplifier, and the antenna.

Disadvantages of the method: we spend a lot of time, the process is dreary and inconvenient. We'll probably rip off your wrist.

Plus: there is no need to build up wires, which will then interfere with the installation of the PG, resting against the back wall.

As you can see, immediately behind the GU in Grant there is a vertical partition, which greatly interferes with blind installation.

If the radio tape recorder dangles in the slide and rattles

It happens that the acoustics hold weakly in the sled, although they sit firmly. Solving the problem:

1. Using the keys for dismantling (included with the control unit), remove the radio;
2. We take a small piece of vibroplast (resin-based foil) and glue it onto the slide from the inside, top or bottom - this way we will ensure that the tape recorder is completely pressed against the slide without unnecessary vibrations;
3. Once again, use a screwdriver to press down all the fastenings of the slide: some might have been under-tightened;
4. We put the acoustics back and check - all unnecessary vibrations during shaking should disappear.

Audio preparation Grants of different configurations

In the “standard” configuration, the Lada Granta has pre-installed power wiring harnesses, which are located in the console opening. Electrical wires are connected only to the radio, so don’t be surprised if you don’t find them in the doorways. To wire to the doors, you will need to pull power wires, which are located under the console panel

In this configuration of the Lada Granta, the stereo system can be installed independently, if due attention is paid to it

In the Lada Granta Norma, the power wires coming from the console are already routed to the doorways. You only need to connect the audio system in accordance with the assembly diagram. It's not uncommon for the stock door wiring to not match up with some speaker connectors. To solve this problem, you need to purchase suitable wires and replace them in the doorway. Lada Granta Norma has a trim with a special pattern for the speakers. Based on it, you can cut the opening yourself.

During assembly at the factory, the Lada Granta luxury version is equipped with a touchscreen multimedia system and speakers. The improved radio tape recorder is complemented by Bluetooth function and a 5-inch display with line output. In addition, the built-in radio allows you to connect a USB 2.0 flash card, through which you can listen to recorded music.

The standard radio for the Lada Granta model is an improved device, the design basis of which is the “Sirf Atlas” processor, supplied by the well-known. In addition to the presence of a radio receiver, the device is equipped with a large touch screen and has the ability to connect an external source via a video input by replacing the software and performing firmware. However, in the basic configuration of a domestic car there is only a push-button radio. Many owners are not happy with this fact and want to connect a more modern radio. This article will tell you how to install a radio.

Removing the standard radio in Grant Lux

The difference between grants of the luxury configuration: the MMS (multimedia system) installed from the factory. This is a 2 din device.

To remove standard acoustic grants:

• take a knife or plastic spatula to dismantle the acoustics and disconnect the decorative trims to the right and left of the radio. It is not necessary to take pictures;
• in the gap between the cover and the panel we find the head unit lock. There are two of them on both sides. Press it out with a screwdriver;
• we take out the GU on ourselves.

Everything is described in detail in the video:

Replacing the standard MMC in Grant

The process - after removing the acoustics, we install a new system.

Difficulties: you may have to finish the fastenings of the new system for VAZ ones. Plus you need the right frame. The factory MMC frame may not fit.

Have you bought a new 2 din radio, but there is no frame for sale? You can do it yourself. Example at the link.

Connecting an audio amplifier and subwoofer

The sound provided by the standard Granta 2190 multimedia system does not suit everyone. Some owners are happy with the 2190's display, but not the sound quality, so they find ways to install custom amplifiers and subwoofers to get a more acceptable sound that suits their needs.

In order to independently connect the amplifier and subwoofer to the standard radio, you must first remove the lower part of the central panel. Having removed the console, we see mini iso type connectors and into one of them, the yellow one, we insert the plug of a pre-purchased adapter. Leave the blue and green wires as is. Those who have done this have noted that standard wires can no longer be used here, so mini iso is used.

How to install 2 din in grant norm or standard

Everything is more complicated here. Need to:

• dismantle the center console trim - unclip the fastenings, move it forward and disconnect the buttons and heater handles;
• cut out a vertical plastic partition that will not allow you to install a 2 din device;
• file the plastic casing of the central air duct;
• try on a new acoustic unit, adjust the fastenings if necessary;
• install adapters from the delivery kit on the wiring (if required);
• install the device;
• if we leave the old center console trim: we cut out the partition, try it on, put it in place with the buttons and handles connected, adjust the decorative frame of the control unit, install it;
• if we install a new trim on the console under a 2 din device: we transfer the heater control unit and buttons from the old trim, install them in place, and put a decorative frame on the control unit.

Instead of a total

• If we install a simple radio, the size should be no more than 178 * 50 mm. Installation requires plastic spatulas or a screwdriver. Adapters and slides are included .
• To install 2 din, you need a new overlay on the console, a decorative frame on the GU itself, wire cutters and a metal blade to adjust the installation location.
• Are we replacing the standard speakers with another of the same size? Still need a new decorative frame . Otherwise, gaps in the panel will be visible.

Dimensions of the radio for installation in the Lada Granta

The standard size of 1 din device for installation is no more than 178*50 mm.

Size 2 din GU: 178*100 mm. Installation will require modification of the interior space. According to reviews, you can install an MMC measuring 178*120*100 mm.

Since the beginning of 2011, all Lada Granta models have been manufactured with audio preparation: factory radios and receivers. The quality of reception and sound is not always at the highest level due to its cheapness and simplicity. When purchasing a Lada Grant from the showroom, the owner receives audio preparation, acoustic wires, and installed electrical wiring.

The door panels have already prepared openings for installing speakers. True, few people use the standard seat, as they prefer the rear shelf to improve the sound.

What is the functionality of the radio?

The fact that there is a standard radio in the domestic car Lada Granta Lux and in Kalina-2, and the devices are constantly being improved. A special feature of the radio is that it fits deep into the standard place, which is accompanied by minor difficulties when removing it. The large monochrome display displays a user-friendly interface.

Reviews from owners indicate that the software has an operating system based on the legendary Windows, the potential capabilities of which are increased by firmware. It is possible to create a desktop in the image of a household computer and connect to the Internet. To do this, you should use a 3g modem.

If you need to enter data, manipulation can be done using the on-screen keyboard. Own memory is not enough, so to meet the ever-growing demands of owners, it is recommended to use an SD card as a storage medium. This drawback is included in the list of reasons, due to the relevance of which, most motorists prefer choosing a foreign vehicle.

A convenient option for connecting with a mobile phone is available for the Lada Granta radio. This allows you to make calls without having to take your phone out of your pocket. You only need to activate a specific button on the device display. This is a kind of extended “hands-free” function.

The radio receiver is also not without pleasant features. If you program a news wave, the device will automatically switch to it from any other channel when a program on the designated topic begins broadcasting.

In the LADA Granta standard, the radio with an integrated LCD display is capable of supporting such file formats as:

• outdated "MP3";
• "WMA";
• "WAV";
• video files that support the “WMV” extension.

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.

Video review of the radio

The standard radio for Kalina 2 and Grant has all the necessary functions for a modern car. The audio system works flawlessly, there are no freezes, all operations are performed instantly. The build quality is at a high level. The only disadvantage is the lack of a CD/DVD drive, but nowadays discs are becoming a thing of the past. The standard radio of the Lada Kalina 2 and Granta without an LCD display is a good alternative for those who find physical buttons more convenient than a sensor.

How to connect a Lada Granta head unit with a 1-DIN connector

• We carry out the work inside the car, having previously disconnected the terminals from the battery in order to prevent a short circuit in the circuit;
• We remove the plastic partition - pocket. It covers the hole, preventing objects from falling inside the torpedo. We use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the bolts;
• Two ISO plugs are visible behind the partition body. These types of wire terminals are manufactured in accordance with international automotive standards. More than 98% of all automakers use the standard when equipping technical equipment;
• We remove the metal frame - the block - from the body of the audio unit and place it in the cavity of the torpedo.
• We first connect the blocks with wires. Fitting into the connectors is accompanied by a characteristic click;
• We insert the module into the metal frame.

Note to the driver. Incorrect terminal connections result in a short circuit. To ensure the safety of the connection process, the connectors have guides that allow you to install the block in only one position.

Common mistakes when installing a standard Granta liftback radio with your own hands

• when connecting additional terminals, manual twisting of wires is used instead of classical soldering;
• regular insulating tape is used on connections instead of heat-resistant sleeves;
• Incorrect connection of a large number of speakers on one branch leads to overload, heating, and short circuit.

Installing a sound amplifier

By liftback radio amplifier we mean:

• crossover installation;
• subwoofer installation.

The choice is up to the owner of the Lada Grant, as different goals are pursued: cleanliness, sound quality. Obviously, the cost of equipment will also increase. Crossovers are installed in the cavity of the glove box, since their dimensions do not exceed 100 x 150 mm and are rectangular in shape. Subwoofers are fixed in the luggage compartment. Equipment requires more space.

Connection of an external device is carried out strictly in accordance with the operating instructions:

• brown wire color: responsible for the operation of the system;
• black: power supply to equipment;
• yellow: audio module activation;
• red: settings and programming.

At the very end, do not forget to connect a red wire with a pre-installed fuse to the positive terminal of the battery. It directly connects the amplifier (subwoofer) to the current source.

Installing two speakers in the front doors

1. dismantle the door card, handle, control unit;
2. We compare the standard cutouts for the speakers with the actual dimensions. If necessary, expand with a file or fine sandpaper. It is strictly forbidden to use cutting objects, as there is a high risk of damage to the plastic of the door card;
3. we check for the absence of roughness in the hole, install the speaker, fix it, connect the standard terminals with wiring;
4. we check the operation of the speaker, install the door card, and fix the metal grille to protect the speaker from mechanical damage.

Audio system installation specifics

When connecting the wiring, you should take into account the presence of nuances in the power supply. The latter is turned on thanks to two wires. Red is designed to save the speaker settings, and yellow controls shutdown, which depends on the ignition.

If you make it so that the audio system can only be turned off manually, you should resort to a parallel connection of these wires. This method results in excessive power consumption when the vehicle is idle. But by installing a certain regulator on the red wire, you can forget about this problem. It is quite possible to even attach it to the alarm system, then the radio will automatically turn off as soon as the car is locked.

If the player turns off on its own while playing music at high volume, or the screen flickers and the appearance of unnecessary “high-pitched” sounds is noticed, then this indicates changes in direct current during the period of battery discharge. The problem can be resolved by installing a capacitor, which ensures a constant supply of electricity to the radio.

Characteristics of the standard radio "Lada Grants Liftback"

The radio for the Lada Granta liftback is supplied as standard equipment. Product in 2-DIM format (100 x 180 mm).

In addition to the classic radio, there is a built-in card reader, Bluetooth, and a USB output for connecting flash drives. The only disadvantage of the audio module is that it is a push-button type. Which is not to the liking of many car enthusiasts, which is why they install more modern modifications.

During the startup of the audio module, a greeting from Lada Kalina 2 is displayed. This is not an error, as many owners think. This type of audio was originally developed for the Lada Kalina 2. Obviously, the manufacturer did not change anything and started production for the Granta. Installation/disassembly of the module is somewhat complicated due to the tight fit, so be prepared for this.

It is based on the Windows operating system, which allows you to connect to the World Wide Web via a 3G modem. There is no such option out of the box; you first need to reflash the device, but more on that later.

Via Bluetooth, it is possible to connect to a phone, and the “hands-free” option is activated. Which is very convenient and practical when driving. The owners were also pleased with the stock radio. At first glance it looks simple, but it turns out not to be so. Available programming function for a specific channel on a given topic.

For example, as soon as a news broadcast comes on, the radio automatically switches to the programmed channel. The audio module reads the following formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, WMV. Control of the standard radio of the Lada Granta liftback is accessible and intuitive, even for an inexperienced owner.

Advice for future and current owners of VAZ push-button radios

The release of standard VAZ “devices”, devoid of an expensive “sensor”, has been expected for a long time. Back in the first half of the year, we were told that such a unit should appear in the fall. As you can see, VAZ was embarrassed to build a graphic display into the radio, and all information on the screen is displayed in standard symbols. The only available backlight color is emerald (there will be more of these colors in crossovers). The device is a “turn on and listen” device, and in standby mode the display displays the time.

The fact that the manufacturer placed the USB port right on the face of the radio is not bad. Now owners have the opportunity to quickly connect a USB drive, or use the standard port as a power source. It will be easy to connect a smartphone or tablet and place it on the dashboard. This is cool! It is recommended to immediately install a short USB flash drive into the USB port to protect it from dust. And it’s also advisable to occupy the port intended for SD cards with something.

All radios produced by Itelma LLC are well aware of a file system such as FAT32. This means that you need to format flash drives in it, onto which audio files in MP3 and WAV format will then be recorded. The signal to the speakers standardly installed in the doors comes without distortion, and the power of the built-in amplifiers is unlikely to seem insufficient to anyone. Enjoy it for your health.

We can state the fact that the new head unit developed by AvtoVAZ turned out to be more than twice cheaper than the touch media center. So, there is no need to succumb to the persuasion of sellers to buy a 7900010-40 radio for 10, 8 or 6 thousand rubles. However, we will leave the choice to the owner.

In fact, VAZ acted very unusually by releasing another “device” in a non-standard form factor. Car dealers should not have any problems with the availability of one or another radio, since the car plant has been working on pre-orders since September. True, it will be difficult to purchase the “device” in question separately from the car, unlike luxury media. The main thing is that two requirements are now met at once: the owner does not overpay for unnecessary options, and at the same time uses only standard VAZ equipment. It would have been like this a long time ago... Let's say if the radio was 1DIN high, it would be equipped with a removable muzzle, but what's good about that?

How to flash the firmware

• Buy an SD card, format it in FAT, exFAT format;
• We download the firmware for free on the manufacturer’s official website;
• We save the data in the root directory of the SD card;
• We insert the SD card into the slot on the radio, start it, wait for the update to finish;
• Turn on and off the module;
• We customize the new interface for ourselves.

If the firmware is installed incorrectly, additional screen calibration using the CAN bus will be required. It is impossible to do this yourself, only in a service station. After successful flashing, the following is available:

• graphic equalizer;
• viewing photos, pictures, videos;
• improved sound quality;
• possibility of installing a navigation system.

Disadvantages of a standard radio

• Outdated firmware from the “box”;
• Not all options are initially available;
• The need for periodic software updates;
• Push-button interface.

How to install a head unit on a car with basic equipment?

Since the Lada Granta base is not equipped with musical equipment, and only a push-button radio is installed on board, the question justifiably arises: how is the standard radio installed in the cabin? In reality, this is a simpler procedure than it might seem at first. The occurrence of problems during installation is excluded, since a seat is already provided for the standard device on the Lada Granta panel, regardless of the level of equipment.

You can purchase the device in a retail chain or on an Internet site, where you can actually find an improved version, equipped with a navigation system with a detailed map of the Russian Federation. Don't forget to buy an additional luxury panel. Although multimedia will fit into the standard panel without any problems, the appearance will not be so beautiful. The price for this device reaches 2.5 thousand rubles.

Next comes the installation of the radio. The design feature of the landing niche in the Grants panel does not provide for the need for additional wiring.

1. The first step is to remove the plastic pocket in the audio system opening. This is done using a flat-profile screwdriver. There is access to several connectors that involve connecting a radio.
2. We remove the frame from the head unit and fix it at the location of the pocket.
3. Next we move on to the connection. To do this, connect a couple of connectors and install the device in the landing niche.
4. After this, you can install the speakers in the front door cards. The procedure involves the need to dismantle door trims with unlocking handles and adjust the position of the glass. Using a special template, we begin cutting out the mounting holes.

We attach the speakers to the cards using self-tapping screws. We insert the cables from the speakers into the input connectors intended for this on the rear panel of the car radio. We install the decorative door panels in their original places and evaluate the sound provided by the standard head unit. Thus, the radio is connected.

Reviews

Conclusion The opinions of motorists on the functionality and sound quality of the standard radio are divided, which is obvious. Everyone evaluates according to their own criteria. Some people care about sound, others about functionality, and others about control. Regardless of the type of radio: push-button or touch-sensitive, the workmanship is good. No massive breakdowns or defects were recorded. Maintenance is not expensive, parts and components are available both at official representative offices and on the Internet. Now it will not be difficult for the owner to remove the radio on the Granta liftback with his own hands without contacting a service station.

Many Lada Granta owners sometimes need to remove the central trim on the dashboard. The reasons for this may be different, such as eliminating unnecessary squeaks or installing a radio. Today I will tell you how to dismantle it.

Removing the center console of Lada Granta

Before starting work, I highly recommend purchasing a set of plastic spatulas for working with car plastic to avoid damaging the plastic with rough objects such as a screwdriver.

If such a set is not at hand, or it is not possible to buy it, then wrap the tip of a flat-head screwdriver with strong electrical tape or a roll of adhesive tape.

To properly dismantle the lining you need to perform a number of simple steps:

1. Remove the head unit (car radio) and disconnect all connectors with wires from it. If you cannot remove the radio, you can leave it on the panel, but do not pull sharply when you snap off the cover. Remember, the wires for the radio are not that long.
2. Pry off and dismantle the handles of the air temperature and air distribution regulators using a mounting spatula or a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Remove the handle of the recirculation flap control lever. To remove it, simply pull it towards you.

After removing all the necessary levers, use a plastic spatula or flathead screwdriver to pry the panel off from the lower right edge, as shown in the image below. Next, we unclip all the other latches and remove the trim from the instrument panel, do not forget that the wires are still connected to the instruments.

After disconnecting all the necessary wiring, we can remove the trim completely.

On Luxury cars with a painted trim, removal is identical to the above instructions, with the only exception that the painted part is snapped off first, and the central part is unscrewed.

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal.

Other features of standard multimedia

The general feelings of owners who have a standard radio in their car are positive. The display is informative and easy to read. The touch keyboard functions flawlessly. The standard radio itself is capable of high-quality reproduction of sound programs from micro-SD cards. However, using USB format media can be challenging.

The device also has some nice options:

• equalizer;
• activated replay mode;
• random sequence of playing tracks (“Random”).

Multimedia LADA Granta is capable of supporting images in 5 formats, which allows you to view photos without any problems. But not everyone can make the correct settings for the “phone” option on the first try. This function will be convenient for a busy owner who is forced to communicate by telephone even while on the road.

The standard speakers of the LADA Granta disappoint many, since even at a 45 percent volume level they emit wheezing, characteristic of bass overload. Some timid music lovers are alarmed by volume jumps when switching to “radio” mode.

Here is a list of shortcomings that provoked many Grantavods to purchase an alternative version of the radio. Today, the progressive version “2191” claims to replace the outdated standard device “2190”. The new device will please you:

• improved sound;
• interface for connecting with a rearview camera;
• navigation complex;
• integrated input for connecting a subwoofer.

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.

Many motorists face the problem of removing the radio in their car. Some people cannot remove the standard device installed at the factory, others inherited the music along with the car, and others simply lost special keys. There are also plenty of reasons for dismantling - from repairing wiring to buying a new stereo system. Hence the demand for information arose on how and with what help you can carefully remove the car radio without damaging the plastic of the front panel. And although the operation is primitively simple and can be easily performed with improvised means, there are pitfalls in it that you need to be aware of.

Soundproofing panel/dashboard Grants

There can be many sources of rattling and squeaking in dashboards, let's look at the most common ones:

The radio/radio plug is rattling. Solution: use anti-creak or sealant.

The air duct rattles at the point of contact of the windshield blower nozzle. Solution: use silicone sealant or anti-squeak. The airbag plug creaks. Solution: when installing the plug, coat it with sealant, or use bitoplast (5mm or 10mm).

The panel trim creaks. Solution: Remove the dashboard trim and glue the places where it touches (on the panel and on the trim itself) with bitoplast or anti-squeak.

The panel/dashboard creaks. Solution: The solution to the problem of panel rattling must be comprehensive.

1. It is recommended to weight the dashboard using vibration materials (for example, 1 sheet of STP Gold 250 RUB/sheet is enough). Heat the pieces with a hairdryer and glue the panel with a “vibra” using a hard roller. A heavier Granta panel will produce less extraneous sounds.
2. Wrap the torpedo wires with anti-squeak.
3. Treat all removable elements with anti-squeak (panel trim, airbag cover, glove compartment, etc.)
4. Tighten all possible panel mounting nuts.

Alternative torpedo

The alternative dashboard is softer than the standard “tens” dashboard, but the main advantage is the absence of unpleasant grinding and squeaking. Motorists decide to get rid of the standard one precisely because of the squeaking. For the VAZ 2110 car there are several types of panels that differ in design.

The panel is sold as a set:

• The panel itself, which is an alternative to standard plastic.

The standard multimedia system 2190 on the Lada Granta has many useful functions, but this does not mean that one day you will not need to connect additional equipment to it (rear view camera, etc.) or remove it altogether. For example, to replace with more powerful multimedia systems or, conversely, to install a double-din radio without a touch screen.

In any case, you may need to dismantle the MMC on Grant, which we will talk about now.

Features of audio system installation

When connecting the audio system wiring, you should take into account some of the power supply features of this unit. This is provided in the car via red and yellow wires. The task of the first is to remember the audio system settings, and the task of the second wire is to turn off the radio, the process of which depends on the position of the ignition key.

The manufacturer recommends using a parallel method of connecting both wires; in this case, the audio system will only be turned off manually, and the ignition key will not influence the operation of the radio.

You can find many videos on the Internet where a radio is installed on a Grant video, but there is no universal option for installing an audio system on this car. Here, a lot depends on the equipment of the Grant, and the richer it is, the less headache it gives its owner with the installation of the radio.

Almost always, when a radio is installed in Grant, the installation is carried out with the negative terminal on the battery removed. Failure to comply with basic safety requirements can not only damage the acoustic equipment, but also significantly damage the entire electrical system of the car.

In such a matter as installing a Grant radio, haste cannot in any way contribute to a successful installation, because the stable operation of the audio system and the good mood of the driver who has decided to acquire car “music” depend on the quality of the installation and compliance with safety measures.

Tools:

• Open-end wrench 10 mm
• Small flat screwdriver
• Knife (if necessary)
• Soldering iron (if necessary)

Notes:

Initially, in this car model, the calculation is made for a 1-DIN radio. If the owner wants to install another type, a newer one, for example 2-DIN, he will need to start sawing the partitions in the console itself. And if the size is not suitable, then a suitable cantilever frame will have to be cut into the panel. This is much more complex than the first type of installation listed. In the second option, it is better to entrust the installation to a specialist, because there is a high risk of damaging the interior trim.

Here is a description of how to install a 1-DIN radio.

1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.

2. Remove the plastic pocket installed in place of the future radio using a flat-head screwdriver.

3. Having taken out the pocket, on the back of it you will find slots where ISO connectors will be inserted to connect the radio. Disconnect the connectors to completely remove the pocket.

4. Now remove the metal frame from the radio and install it in the place where the plastic pocket was. Unbend the frame's tendrils to lock it securely in place.

Note:

There should be a click to confirm that the frame installation was successful.

5. Connect the connectors to the radio.

Note:

If you connect the radio to the connectors incorrectly, all car systems may fail, including, of course, the sound system.

Some radio manufacturers make custom connectors. Most of them come with an ISO plug. But there are times when none of the types are suitable, then the last option remains - cutting the wires. You remove the original plugs of the radio and the plugs of the car wiring and solder them together, but be sure to match the color.​

A mistake many car enthusiasts make is twisting the wires and wrapping them with adhesive-backed insulating tape. In winter, the same electrical tape cracks due to frost. As a result, a short circuit may occur in the wiring, which will lead to the failure of all electrical systems of the car.

6. Insert the car radio into the previously installed frame.

7. How to install speakers, see here.

The basic versions of the Lada Granta passenger car are not equipped with a speaker system and a player. The installation of a radio on a Lada Granta is carried out by a trading organization upon the order of the future owner. It is allowed to independently modify the design of the machine, as well as replace the installed equipment with a higher-quality device that has an expanded list of functions.

Removing the radio on Grant

The entire dismantling process will take no more than one minute if you have already removed the radio before. If this is the first time for you, then minor difficulties may arise only with finding the necessary elements by touch if the radio is not pulled out in the usual way.

Procedure:

1. Remove the plastic trim of the center console. To dismantle the MMC, it is not even necessary to remove the cover completely; it is enough to unclip only the upper latches using a screwdriver, a small knife or a spatula.

2. Slightly pulling back the upper part of the plastic trim of the center console, press out the MMC latches, which are located on the right and left. To prevent the latches from “settling” into place, you need to slightly pull the MMC towards you.

3. Having released the clamps, we remove the MMC from the niche.

What to do if the wires interfere with the removal of MMC?

If the cables going to the MMC block prevent you from pulling it out, then you need to disconnect them. To do this, just do the following:

1. Lower the glove compartment lid down and disengage the upper latches.

2. Put your hand into the opening and disconnect the interfering cables. Please note that not all MMCs currently have a USB cable installed that goes into the glove compartment.

The radio has been dismantled, now you can connect additional equipment to it, replace it with another one, or simply find out the model of your MMC by the sticker located on the rear panel.

Removing the device according to the instructions

The algorithm for removing the radio if you have the keys is outrageously simple. It is worth considering in order to understand how to act if they are lost. The order is as follows:

1. Remove the front panel of the player and the decorative plastic frame, prying it up with a flathead screwdriver if necessary.
2. Insert the first key into the gap between the housing and the mounting frame, located at the end. You should feel slight resistance as the tool bends the latch.
3. Repeat the same action with the second key.
4. Grasp the radio with your hands by the protruding parts on the sides of the case and carefully remove it from the niche.

To remove the radio, 2 keys are used

Advice. There is no need to apply much effort; the device should be removed quite easily. At the end, act carefully so as not to pull the wires again and break the contact.

Special keys must be inserted into the side openings

When the radio is equipped with four latches, access to them is through 2 pairs of round holes. You need to insert 2 U-shaped keys into them and pull them out by the body, as described above.
