The EnjoY Pro multimedia system (MMS) is installed on the Lada Vesta, XRAY and Granta family of cars. To use the system's capabilities to the fullest, connect it to the Internet and also connect your phone via Bluetooth. We tell you how to connect via Bluetooth, and what difficulties there may be in this process.

Bluetooth connectivity allows you to use your phone wirelessly without being distracted from the road, and also listen to music from your smartphone.

MMC EnjoY Pro supports Bluetooth version 4.2 (A2DP, HFP).

The figure above shows a diagram of the buttons on the standard Lada Vesta radio, but these are not all the methods available for interacting with the system.
The fact is that the Lada Vesta's standard radio also supports music playback via USB and Aux, but the car's designers made a good decision not to place these ports on the main console of the radio, but to move them to a more convenient place. Aux and USB ports on the Lada Vesta car
were moved to the bottom of the panel closer to the 12V connector.
In order to play music using these functions, just connect a suitable flash card or Aux cable and turn on the radio, depending on the connected connector, the radio itself will determine where to receive the signal. It is worth remembering that the radio tape recorder cannot play back all formats; try to store music compositions in Mp3, WMA or WAV
- these are the formats the radio tape recorder can play without problems.

↑ Radio with touch screen

The old radio, if desired, can always be replaced with a new, more modern model. The instructions state that this multimedia from Lada Vesta is equipped with a special touch screen that is not afraid of temperature changes and responds to the slightest touch.

In addition, a special multimedia Lada Vesta is installed on the steering wheel, which allows you to control the radio without being distracted from the road. Using special keys on the steering wheel, you can answer a call, end a call, turn up the music or, conversely, make it quieter. Moreover, you can press the keys even with gloves on!

What other functions are typical for this system? This:

  • a radio system that allows you to memorize several radio stations at once;
  • the ability to listen to audio, and this can be either using USB flash drives or playing from a phone, or from an external HDD via a USB channel;
  • The multimedia also has a phone mode that allows you to talk hands-free via Bluetooth;
  • you can install a navigation application on the radio and use it for Russian roads;
  • If you connect a flash drive or SD card, you can not only listen to audio, but also watch videos with small pictures.

As you can see, the functionality of such a system is enormous, and, compared to a standard radio receiver, this device is many times more convenient.

The radio manufacturer warns that the more different folders and files there are on the media, the longer the files will take to load. In this case, it is recommended to use external media that contains only video files, pictures and audio files.

The manufacturer categorically does not recommend placing *.bin resolution files on the media. Such files can lead to loss of functionality and damage to the firmware.

At the same time, the audio player window is intuitive. All files are played on six speakers, and the sound is at a truly decent level. You can make adjustments using the equalizer.

The driver can also listen to music via his phone via Bluetooth. But, unfortunately, information about the melody being played is not displayed on the multimedia screen.

Connecting via Bluetooth to the radio of a Lada Vesta car

In order to connect to the radio using Bluetooth, just click on the Audio button, after which you need to go to the settings of your phone and start searching for new Bluetooth devices. If you did everything correctly, you will soon see a similar picture on your mobile phone:
After successfully finding new equipment named VESTA, you need to connect to it. When connecting, minor problems may arise, which consist of asking for a confirmation password, which will appear on your phone. From the factory, the password for Bluetooth is set on the standard radio of the Lada Vesta car: 0000

​, after you once connect to your radio using your phone, in the future they will establish a connection automatically, provided that Bluetooth is turned on on both devices.​​​

Bluetooth: hands-free calling in the car

My personal opinion: talking on speakerphone using the car’s standard speakers is very comfortable. Nothing distracts you from moving, your hands are free, and the wires do not get tangled. With the help of Bluetooth systems, you can not only receive calls, but also dial numbers.

The methods for connecting and setting up a speakerphone in a car via Bluetooth are the same as for connecting music. Many cars are equipped with a “Hands Free” system – this is what you need to connect to. Different models have many options: screen control, voice commands.

If you have strangers in the cabin, and you do not want the details of the conversation to be heard by anyone else, then you can purchase a wireless headset. We can recommend the following models:

  • For example, the budget option SmarTerra will cost only 350 rubles. They look like this.

Microphone settings?

In the radio setup mode, there is a button to turn the noise reduction function on or off (this function is turned on by default). According to the owners' observations, disabling this function improves the quality of communication; the subscriber begins to hear the driver better over the speakerphone.

On a push-button radio:

  1. Press and hold the encoder (position 7) while in the Main window (playback window).
  2. Selecting available settings and adjusting the selected parameter is done by rotating the encoder knob (position 7).
  3. Entering the adjustment of the selected parameter and confirming the setting is done by briefly pressing the encoder (position 7).
  4. Find the noise canceling feature and turn it off.

On a multimedia system (MMS):

  1. press the “Radio” mode setting button (No. 3)
  2. turn off noise reduction (No. 4)

Some Vest owners note that along with turning off noise reduction, you need to enable the other functions below. Only after this the quality of communication improves.

Note.

The operating manual for the Vesta radio indicates that the noise reduction function only affects operation in the “Radio” mode. Whether this feature actually changes the microphone settings is unknown.

Vesta can have two versions of the standard radio: basic models are equipped with a system without a screen, for the “luxury” version it is provided, its size is 7 inches.

Basic problems

The multimedia system of the Lada Vesta has been in operation for several years, which makes it possible to identify typical problems for this model. Most often, owners are concerned about the following problems:

  1. The display is not fully illuminated. The culprit for this phenomenon is low ambient temperature. To resolve the issue, just reboot the system.
  2. MMC is turned on after several attempts. Low temperature is again to blame. If you hold down the power key for a few seconds, the radio turns on.
  3. The standard radio of the Lada Vesta does not turn on at all. In most cases, pressing the Reset button for a few seconds resolves the problem. The fuse on the back of the device may also blow out.

Audio system functionality

The Lada Vesta car radio works together with four factory speakers installed inside the car. The device menu pleases with a solid number of settings. In addition to several equalizer modes, you can choose how to play tracks: in order, scattered within one folder or all folders, repeat track, repeat folder.

The SD memory card size must not exceed 16 GB, otherwise the audio system will not read it. The number of folders on the card should be no more than 256, and files – no more than 1024.

How to set up bluetooth on Vesta

Let's take a closer look at how to enable bluetooth on Vesta.

The Bluetooth connection algorithm in the Lada Vesta station wagon will be something like this. First of all, turn on the smartphone, find the Bluetooth function in it and switch it to operating mode. The next step is to turn on the car radio. When new equipment is found under the name Vesta, they connect to it. The factory password for Bluetooth from the manufacturer is 0000. After connecting the phone to the MMS for the first time, the password will not be needed in the future.

Why bluetooth doesn't work

Most often, failure occurs due to the fault of Sony smartphones. We have already looked at how to connect bluetooth to the Lada Vesta, so it’s worth trying the pairing again.

Connection may not be possible when the Bluetooth function in Vesta is not activated in the radio. Press the button to accept the call, the system begins to function. If this does not resolve the problem, it is best to contact your dealer. Also, this problem may appear after trying to connect several phones. There may be other reasons why Bluetooth does not work on Vesta, including a factory defect.

for Lada Vesta

The new MMC LADA EnjoY Pro has article number 8450033415 and is produced in Korea.

The connectors for connecting LADA EnjoY Pro are different from those previously used on Vesta.

LADA EnjoY Pro MMC connectors:

To connect, you will need several adapter connectors. Presumably one of them could be the Intro ANS-07 ISO connector, you just need to insert pin No. 20 into it.

What other adapters are needed? Currently, the community of Lada Vesta owners is looking for an answer to this question. We invite you to join the discussion in the comments.

It is worth noting that AVTOVAZ, together with the MMC LADA EnjoY Pro, installed a number of other components in Vesta that you will need when retrofitting your car yourself. Full list:

  • 8450033415 Multimedia navigation equipment 8″

  • 8450033566 or 8450033567 Center trim for instrument console

Another important point. Lada Vesta with MMC LADA EnjoY Pro uses a new right block of buttons on the steering wheel. It differs from the old one in the presence of an additional “voice control” button. It is not necessary, because You can launch voice control in other ways convenient for you.

How to replace the standard radio on Vesta

Usually, owners change the original push-button version of the device. To dismantle the old device, you need to take a screwdriver or a Torx T20 bit.

  • Unscrew the 4 self-tapping screws securing the deflector, then the 4 self-tapping screws for the MMC fasteners.
  • If the device is replaced on the basic version of Vesta, then two wires are led from the diagnostic block to the blue ISO MMC connector to connect power to the GPS navigator.
  • The 14th ATS connector is connected to the 17th MMC connector, the 6th leg of the ATS connector is connected to the 20th leg of the blue radio connector.

Alternative options

If the car owner is not satisfied with the standard MMC device on the Veste, they recommend using a 2DIN radio. Retail chains offer the following options for multimedia systems:

  • Chinese 7010B, 7021G, 7023B, AD-UNI707, C1060706A, MEKEDE MKD, RK-A701.
  • Russian multimedia system PROLOGY DVU-750.
  • The devices PROLOGY DNU-2630, SWAT AHR 4180, NAVIPILOT DROID4, DVM 2117 IQ have also proven themselves well.

Some models of 2DIN devices require an adapter frame, without which it is impossible to install a new audio device.
