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.
A few words about the radio of the “normal Kalina-2”
When looking at the “device”, which AvtoVAZ designates with the numbers 2190-7900010-40, it immediately becomes clear that installing such a device in a standard 1DIN compartment will not work. VAZ cars in the “Norma” configuration come from the factory with an empty compartment (its height is 1DIN), and in the “Norma+” radio tape recorder occupies the entire central part of the console. That is, the owner has the following choice: you can install a standard VAZ radio, but then the easy-to-use shelf will disappear, or you can look for and install a unit of standard height. The VAZ radio does not fit into the 1DIN high compartment. There is no touch screen on it, but under the “twist” there is a whole array of plastic buttons.
VAZ push-button radio for Kalina-2
Such a radio, as we see in the photo, can be found in the only configuration of the Kalina Cross. The “device” in question differs from the Granta radio in the presence of a frame with holes. There were rumors about the release of specific units intended only for crossovers, but in the end everything turned out to be simpler - VAZ always ordered radio tape recorders from Itelma, and this tradition was continued. What exactly is offered as part of the “budget” head unit? Let's try to figure it out.
First of all, let's say that the main task of a built-in radio is to play music. To do this, it provides two hardware ports (USB, SD) located on the front panel. Radio stations can be switched using the lower buttons, and the device can also perform the functions of a Bluetooth headset - it’s not for nothing that there are “Receive” and “End End” buttons. The amplifier power is standard, the number of channels is four.
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.
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.

Of course you can, especially if the sizes are the same. Look at the photo for example.
You need to remove the climate control panel (held on by latches) and so on. It’s better to do this at a radio installation service.
MMS from Lada Grants
There is nothing complicated, even if you want to install a single-din radio instead of a double-din or vice versa, buy a special frame and, of course, the radio itself and that’s it)
Which one do you have now and which one do you want to install?
On VAZ cars of an earlier year of production, such as 2101, 2102, 2106, etc., such a concept as a “standard radio” was absolutely alien. But, as they say: time does not stand still, and along with it, the development of the domestic automobile industry does not stand still either. On new models of Lada cars, especially Kalina, Grant, Vesta, etc., the radio came already from the factory, and not just in the form of a music player, but in the form of a device with the ability to play video and photo formats, and of course sound.
The most popular standard radio, which was most often installed on Lada Kalina and Kalina 2 cars, is called “MMC” . You can understand what its advantages are and why it has earned such fame by reading this article.
Rules for choosing an audio system
Before you begin installing the radio on Kalina, you should select it at a car dealership or hardware store. The choice should be approached carefully and carefully. And before going to the store, it is better to decide on your desires and capabilities.
When choosing a radio for your car, you should decide which music media will be used as the main one. This will help you save some money. If, for example, a car owner is sure that he will not need a CD or cassette player, then why should he overpay for a radio with these functions.
For those choosing CD players, there is one minor drawback that manufacturers are trying to combat - the loss of music fragments due to shaking during a trip. But progress does not stand still, and the mechanics are improving. The presence of ISO in the car and, accordingly, in the audio device will simplify the connection. The presence of a USB adapter will allow you to play music from various media.
Pioneer model range
When choosing a car radio, you should pay attention to the power ratings. They have a maximum and minimum threshold. Maximum power is rarely used, except in extreme situations. The choice should be made according to the rated power, that is, the one that is used most often. Manufacturers often indicate only maximum values on packages, so when choosing, you need to carefully study the instructions (passport), and not the box.
It is also worth paying attention to the control panel. It should be extremely simple and convenient, since it will most often be used while moving. Intricate designs can distract from the road. Convenient and understandable buttons and adjustable backlight brightness will only be beneficial. It is imperative to check the range of perceived frequencies. Since radio stations mainly broadcast in the range from 80 to 110 MHz, it is better that the tuner also has this range.
Pay attention to the number of outputs to the speakers and the resonant frequency, it should be lower.
Types of MMS
The MMS car radio is divided into only 2 types. The first one is called MMC 2 Din. Its characteristic features are that it does not have a CD drive and the Touchscreen function. The second type of radio, also without a CD drive, but with an LCD display and the “Touchscreen” function. Both MMC models are installed on the Lada Kalina car, depending on its configuration - “standard” or “luxury”.
MMS with LCD display
According to its appearance, the MMS radio tape recorder with an LCD display is divided into two types. They differ from each other in their button layout. In order not to confuse them, a special catalog number is provided. The first numbers are the same - 2190 - 7900, indicating the car model on which such a standard radio is installed, as well as the brand of the device manufacturer. And the last numbers directly indicate the type of button arrangement. The numbers “010 – 00” at the end of the index indicate that the buttons are located along with the screen, having a “monoblock” structure. And if at the end there are numbers “200”, then on such a model, the buttons are located separately from the display.
LCD screen
All car radio screens are divided into two types: capacitive and resistive. Capacitive is older, and accordingly, not so hardy. That is why this type of screen is not used on the Lada Kalina 2 car. Instead, the MMS radio has a resistive LCD display that can work stably, regardless of the conditions (in a very cold period of the year, or vice versa, in unbearable heat).
The screen size is 7 inches, which is quite large for a car video player. The brightness is very good, allowing you to see the picture in more detail. The Touchscreen function works flawlessly and does not require any force when pressed. Simply touch it lightly and the device will perform the desired function.
A very significant disadvantage of the MMC is the lack of a visor above the display. In sunny weather, the screen may reflect the sun's rays and glare may appear, which will obviously interfere with viewing the video or image.
Technical characteristics of the radio
The standard radio for Lada Kalina 2 from the manufacturer NaviFly is manufactured on a modern technical base, which ensures its high performance and functionality. The Android 8.1 Go operating system is installed - today this is the best solution in car radios, offering literally unlimited customization options.
The head unit of Lada Kalina 2 received the following technical characteristics:
- form factor: 2 din radio;
- touch capacitive IPS display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels and a diagonal of 7 inches;
- 4-core Cortex TX A9 processor with a clock frequency of 1600Mhz;
- 1Gb DDR3 Samsung RAM and 16Gb internal memory;
- presence of 2 USB ports;
- support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connections with A2DP/Hands Free with hands-free calling and music playback;
- OBD scanner support for engine ECU diagnostics;
- support for rear view camera with automatic activation;
- support for DVRs with video recording capabilities;
- 4 output channels for speakers with a power of 50 Watts each;
- Dual Zone feature that allows you to play music when you launch and use other applications.
Like the original GU, the Lada Kalina 2 head unit optionally supports control buttons located on the steering wheel. Moreover, it allows you to program the purpose of each button for maximum convenience.
New Lada: Kalina ignition switch: how to remove, install and use it
The standard radio for Lada Kalina 2 received a warranty from the manufacturer for a period of 12 months. But given the high build quality and the fact that the main components from top manufacturers Cortex and Samsung are used, we can safely say about the stable and uninterrupted operation of the PG for many years.
Operating system and available file formats
The standard radio of the Lada Kalina 2 car can play not only music, but also video. But, unfortunately, not all formats are available for viewing on an MMS device. The most common MP3 format is suitable for playing music. It is standard for any audio player. In addition to it, MMC can read less popular audio formats: WMA and WAV.
MMS playback formats
When playing data in this format, only sound will be produced, and the name of the current musical work, its author, the duration of the track, and in some cases, even the album, cover, and year of release of the song being played will be broadcast on the screen.
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.
Pairing with devices
MMS in the Lada Kalina 2 car also has a pairing function with different devices. This conjugation can be done in two ways: via a USB connector, or using Bluetooth.
You can connect a phone, flash drive, headset, etc. Using pairing, information can not only be broadcast from the connected device to the MMS screen, but vice versa. When you connect any device, the radio saves the entered settings for it. This serves for the convenience and speed of subsequent connections. Of course, there is one drawback. When connecting several different devices, the settings are erased and the pairing process will take the same amount of time.
It is important to know that in order to read information on the radio, the source drive must have a FAT 16 or 32 file system. The memory size of the connected device does not matter.
