Which radio is suitable for Vesta with navigation

The multimedia system in modern cars becomes an advantage in a competitive environment. An in-car infotainment system integrates a variety of communication, entertainment and information tools with interactive, intuitive touch controls. MMS is also installed on Lada Vesta. The car owner of the basic configuration can independently install either a standard multimedia system or any other.

Vesta's standard MMS

All versions of Vesta, with the exception of the basic one, have MMS installed. The minimum configuration of the car is equipped only with an audio system. The main functions of the MMC are playing audio files from removable media, receiving radio signals, navigation, parking assistance with video playback from the rear view camera.

The MMC on the Lada Vesta is located in the central upper part of the console and complements the updated modern design. The system is equipped with a good filling with the following characteristics:

TJA1042 high-speed CAN transceiver;
CAN and K-Line controller Freescale S9S12G96F0CLF;
controller Fujitsu 32-bit ARMTM CortexTM-M3 based Microcontroller.

The following elements are used to manage and play files:

seven-inch touch screen;
“Mode” key – select modes;
“MUTE” – mutes all sounds;
Volume control – pressing once turns the device on or off;
microphone for the ability to talk on the phone without hands - Handsfree;
“Reset” – button to reboot the device;
slot for reading a removable SD card;
connector for reading information from removable USB media and connecting various gadgets;
AUX connector for connecting headphones or external audio devices.

AUX and USB connectors are located near the glove compartment at the bottom of the panel. Thanks to this, connecting external devices has become more convenient.

Additional control

In addition to the buttons near the touch screen, MMS functions on the Lada Vesta are controlled using duplicate buttons located on the steering wheel:

volume control;
selection of file and radio playback modes;
turning off all sounds;
button for navigating through folders and tracks on removable media; in another mode, the buttons are responsible for accepting/ending an incoming call.

Such equipment first appeared on AvtoVAZ cars. Previously, a standard audio system and MMC without duplication on the steering wheel were offered. Thanks to this, Vesta can compete with budget foreign cars of the same class in approximately the same price segment.

Key Features

The system combines several different devices that should be in every modern car. The main one is the audio system, consisting of a 7-inch touch screen. Its peculiarity is its resistive base and the need to press with a stylus or other similar object. The input method is not the most progressive, but in weather conditions with sudden temperature changes, the resistive screen works without failure. The sound is reproduced through six speakers to create surround sound.

The system recognizes most SD and USB drives, but with a limitation - the media should not contain more than 1024 files and 256 folders. The flash drive must be formatted to FAT 16 or 32 with a maximum number of partitions - 4. Cards supported by MMC Lada Vesta:

SDHC no more than 32 gigabytes;
SD no more than 4 gigabytes;
USB 2.0 and 3.0 no more than 64 GB.

The user is warned by the instructions that the download speed depends on the number of files on the drive. The optimal solution would be a medium that contains only audio and video files.

Files with the .bin extension cannot be placed on removable media. The multimedia firmware has a similar extension. Duplication can lead to its failure or malfunction.

Files supported by MMC:

WMA audio codec, bitrate no more than 128 kbps, sampling 44100 Hz;
video codec WMV3 with a frame rate of 25, bitrate 750 kbps.

Before use, it is recommended to convert all files to the required parameters. For these purposes, the manufacturer recommends the free Freemake Video Converter program. When playing back, keep in mind that the files will be played in the order they were recorded.

Setting up the radio receiver

This module in the radio in the LADA Vesta car receives programs in three standard ranges (LW, MW, and VHF) and two modulation modes (FM and the little-used AM). To make searching for stations quite convenient, the car radio has six special buttons on the front panel. Using these keys, you can memorize stations, after which the transition to them will be carried out by simply pressing. In the FM band, the user can “remember” up to 18 fixed stations. A normal search for transmitting centers is also possible without resorting to the memory option. Also, many car owners are interested in the question: how to connect the phone to the radio?

MMS modes

The multimedia complex involves the use of the following modes:

"Radio". Allows you to receive and play radio signals, search for radio stations with an automatic memorization function for up to 8 positions. Displays the current radio station on the screen.
"Audio". Intuitive audio player that plays audio files through 6 speakers. There is an equalizer with the ability to select presets or customize it yourself. Audio files can be played via Bluetooth from an external device, but in this case information about the file being played is not displayed on the screen. Supported formats: MP3 up to 320 kbps, WMA up to 320 kbps, WAV up to 24 bits and FLAC.
"Video". To view videos, you will need a converter. Video files must meet the following requirements:

AVI with a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second and a resolution of no more than 720x536;
MP4 with a resolution of no more than 1920x1080, frame rate up to 30;
MOV with support for standard codecs;
MKV with support for standard codecs, frame rate up to 30 and resolution 1920x1080.

"Photo". For viewing photos, the radio screen in the car is not the best option. But if necessary, you can view images in most formats.
"Telephone". Used for hands-free phone calls via speakerphone. You first need to synchronize your smartphone with the system and download the phone book.
"Navigation". Movement according to maps and according to the guidance of the navigation program "CityGID 7". Allows you to install third-party cards. Disadvantages include the lack of image rotation, the inability to download maps online, the lack of construction of alternative routes, it does not show traffic jams over long distances, and there is no satellite view.

Additionally, it is possible to use the “Rear View Camera” mode. When you engage reverse, it is activated automatically with a slight decrease in the radio volume. For the convenience of reverse parking, markings appear on the screen allowing you to see the distance to the obstacle. The green dotted line corresponds to a distance of 4 and a half meters from the rear bumper. The yellow line is one and a half meters, and the red line is 30-40 cm.

You can configure the screen, radio, telephony, rear view camera, video player, audio player, photo viewing mode, navigator. In this regard, multimedia on the Lada Vesta is much more attractive than a conventional radio.

Malfunctions of MMC Vesta and methods for their elimination

MMC Lada Vesta is the first of its kind on AvtoVAZ cars. It is still far from ideal - sometimes various malfunctions can occur. For example, the radio cannot boot, hanging on the “LADA” logo. To resolve this issue you need to do the following:

remove removable media from the USB port;
disconnect the battery terminals and turn off the power to the on-board network for a few minutes;
format the USB or SD card in FAT 32 format and create an empty text file explorer.txt in the root directory;
connect the battery terminals and reboot the system (the desktop should appear).

Firmware MMS Lada Vesta

If you have experience flashing smartphones, then you won’t have any difficulties reinstalling multimedia software. If there is a warranty, this should be done by the dealer. You can do the firmware yourself:

A firmware image is downloaded to a FAT 32 SD card, which must contain the files chain.bin, NK.bin, chain.lst, TINYNK.bin.
Exit to desktop.
Open the file Windows/OEM_Settig.exe.
Click the Upgrade OS button and start the firmware process.

After completing the procedure, you need to reboot the system while holding down the volume key - this is a radical measure. Updating to a more stable version will help eliminate malfunctions. Even a beginner can cope with this if he follows step-by-step instructions:

Turn on the device.
Insert removable media into the slot with the pre-loaded image for updating.
Press “i” (information) on the display.
On the pop-up window, you need to successively click on 4 dots in the corners of the screen.
In the new window, click on “Software”.
Click on “SW Upgrade”.
In the pop-up menu, click “Upgrade”.
The update application will open, where you need to select one of three modes. Update Radio will update the shell, Update Navi will update the navigation system, and Update OS will update the operating system.
Having selected the desired mode, press “OK”.

All that remains is to wait for the process to complete, during which the system will reboot several times.

During the update, you cannot turn off the power, turn off the ignition, or press buttons on the radio. The process can take up to one and a half hours. When the update is complete, click “OK”.

Firmware from third-party developers or violation of software installation rules can lead to freezes and inability to boot. The described method will help you deal with this problem by de-energizing the on-board network and starting the desktop using a removable card and an empty explorer.txt file. The situation can also be corrected by reformatting the drive or flashing the device using software from the manufacturer.

Replacing the standard audio system

The Lada Vesta has two audio systems: a simpler one with a 4.3-inch monochrome display and a seven-inch one with a touch screen. Any of them can be replaced with an alternative option, the most popular of which is a 2DIN radio with a color touch screen. Today, the choice is huge and depends on the financial capabilities of buyers. The list is sorted by price - from low to high:

7010B and 7023B. Radio tape recorder made in China. The cheapest option will cost about 3 thousand rubles. Equipped with a 7-inch screen with a resolution of up to 800x480 and 1 GB memory. Runs under Windows CE OS.
7021G. Operated by Windows CE 6 OS. Seven-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480, F1C500TM processor. Estimated price – 4-5 thousand rubles.
RK-A701. Chinese radio, 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1028x600, 4-core RK3188 processor, 1 GB of memory, OS – Android 5. Price – up to 8 thousand rubles.

AD-UNI707. Manufacturer – China, OS – Android 6, seven-inch touch screen resolution – 1024×600, 2 GB of memory, processor – AllWinner Quad Core T3. Cost – up to 13 thousand rubles.
Prology DNU-2630. The 6.2-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480 has high operating speed and excellent sound. The average price is no more than 13 thousand rubles.

MEKEDE MKD. Radio tape recorder on the Android operating system, eight-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1024x600, memory capacity - 2 GB, cost - 16 thousand rubles.
NaviPilot DROID4. 8-inch touch screen, resolution – 1024x600, memory – 2 GB, cost – 28 thousand rubles.

DVM 2117IQ. Equipped with a solid ARM11 600MHz processor, 8-inch touch screen and Windows operating system. At a price of more than 30 thousand rubles - only 256 MB of memory, screen resolution - 800x400.

To install any radio on the Lada Vesta, you will need an adapter frame for a 2DIN radio. You can buy it at any auto store.

Installing a standard radio

The depth of the standard seat for the MMC is 150 mm. If the dimensions of the new radio exceed this figure, then using a hacksaw blade or any other similar tool you will need to cut down the mount in the dashboard. The manufacturer has prepared all the wire blocks for connection in advance.

To install the multimedia system, you need to remove the plastic blanking strip from the dashboard. Immediately behind it are the ISO, USB, AUX connectors, as well as Fakra – connecting the radio antenna. Next, a standard MMC or any 1DIN radio is inserted into the hole. Things are more complicated with the installation of 2DIN media systems - you cannot do without modifications.

Installing an alternative MMC

First you need to carefully inspect the seat. In most cases, the installation of a 2DIN radio on the Lada Vesta will be prevented by a plastic partition in the depth. This partition must be removed.

To do this, you can use a file and sandpaper to level the surface. From the standard plug you may only need a frame with which to adjust the width. For connection, a standard ISO connector is used, which is available on all Vesta trim levels. Next, you need to turn on the radio and check the operation of the modes. In addition to the new audio system, it is recommended to install speakers in the door cards. The process will not take much time.

Tips for selecting and installing a speaker system

For better surround sound, it is recommended to use a two-component system. These speakers use both a high-frequency tweeter and a mid-bass speaker. With their help, you can competently arrange the sound stage. It is recommended to install such speakers in the front. A coaxial speaker system is installed at the rear, which is used to complement the front speakers. Installing tweeters will require additional wiring.

Tweeters are best mounted in the triangle of the rear view mirror. If such a scheme seems too expensive, you can get by with a cheaper coaxial speaker system. In all cases, no additional adjustments are required, with the exception of adjusting the equalizer.

It is recommended to completely soundproof the doors using any available method - this will significantly improve the quality of the sound stage.

Even a beginner can install sound systems on Lada Vesta cars. It is enough to follow just a few simple rules:

dismantling work should be carried out as carefully and accurately as possible so as not to damage the plastic casing;
the manufacturer has already taken care of the audio preparation, so there is no need to connect and install the connectors yourself;
It is impossible to cut off standard pads if they do not fit the new radio; it is better to purchase a special adapter.

Flashing a multimedia system should only be done as a last resort. It is better to entrust this procedure to specialists or contact the service center of an authorized dealer.

Lada XCode model 2022

The most anticipated new product from AvtoVAZ is the Lada XCode crossover, news of its release is breaking all search query records. The concept car was first presented to the general public back in 2016. The new product is expected to go on sale in 2020-2021. The exact date is not known, as is the cost. The configurations and prices of the Lada XCode can be found out closer to the arrival of the cars at official dealers.

Today we can say about XKode that it is one of the most anticipated cars on the Russian market. It will be produced in the body of a crossover, although compared to the XRay, the model is significantly inferior in size. This is not surprising, since the car is aimed primarily at the youth audience.

With the release of HKode, AvtoVAZ plans to reach a new level of development. The expected crossover has a completely new body, designed in the already well-known X-Face style. Under the hood it is planned to place 1.6-liter engines, which are used to assemble Lada X-Ray cars. It is possible that diesel versions of these crossovers will also appear later.

Nothing is known yet about the possibility of equipping the crossover with an all-wheel drive system, but it is possible that such a version will be presented in the maximum configuration. Based on preliminary conclusions, we can conclude that the price of the minimum configuration of the Lada XKod will be from 900 thousand rubles.

After reviewing the list of new products from Lada for 2020-2021, we can make a preliminary conclusion that, despite skeptical forecasts, the auto company has every chance not only to take a leading position in terms of sales in Russia, but also to achieve great success in the European market.

Owner reviews about MMC Vesta

Roman, Izhevsk: “Compared to the basic version, the price is somewhat high, but the comfort and driving pleasure are much greater.”

Boris, Novosibirsk: “AvtoVAZ” really unexpectedly demonstrates progress in the domestic automotive industry. The multimedia system only confirms this and keeps the high bar set by the plant’s new flagship.”

Timofey, Kazan: “Instead of the factory radio, it was decided to install a cheaper one from China. It is more functional, convenient and practical. One problem - I thought all the connectors were the same, I had to spend a lot of time searching and buying adapters, and the space for the radio had to be modified. Some people don’t like China, but for me it’s a good alternative at an affordable price.”

The multimedia system can rightfully be called a breakthrough for a domestic car. It is far from ideal, it has many shortcomings, but the constant updating is encouraging - the system is being finalized and improved. Perhaps car enthusiasts will see something completely new in the next generation of VAZ cars.

The multimedia system of Lada Vesta is installed on all cars in configurations higher than the base one. The manufacturer offers a simpler standard car radio in the database. The main tasks of a multimedia system (MMS) are to ensure high-quality reproduction of radio signals and music media, display video from a rear view camera, control the navigation system and much more.

Lada XRAY Cross Instinct model 2022

In March 2022, an updated version of the XRAY family from AvtoVAZ was presented - Lada XRAY Cross Instinct. This model is a Lada X-Ray Cross in the maximum configuration, which is called Instinct. A characteristic feature of the new product is the roof and mirrors, which are painted black. On the roof there is a black antenna in the shape of a shark fin. Alloy wheels have a double color, emphasizing the crossover style.

The car is equipped with a number of the following options:

climate control;
multifunction steering wheel;
heated windshield, steering wheel and all seats;
window lifters.

At the head of the dashboard is an 8-inch multimedia display with a rear view camera. The multimedia system includes Yandex.Auto options, the Alice voice assistant, a 4G modem, as well as various services and browsers. Today you can see not only photos of models of the updated Lada X-Ray, but also see the new product in person. The first cars are already arriving at official dealers at a starting price of 1 million 33 thousand rubles.

The car is available with two versions of power plants. The first is a VAZ 122-horsepower unit with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the second is a 113-horsepower engine from Renault-Nissan, combined with a CVT.

Management and external design

Multimedia Lada Vesta is located in the central part of the dashboard and fits perfectly into the modern interior of the car. The media system consists of several elements.

Main controls

seven-inch touch screen;
MODE button, with which you select modes;
MUTE button, which is responsible for muting the sound;
rotating volume control, when pressed, turns the MMC on and off;
hole for a microphone for talking using the Hands free system;
RESET button, with which you can reboot the mmc lada vesta;

Multimedia
USB and AUX connectors are located at the bottom of the dashboard next to the glove box. This arrangement is very convenient for connecting external devices for playback or charging.

Additional amenities

In addition to the controls located directly next to the screen, the touch MMC is also controlled using auxiliary buttons on the steering wheel. Here are:

duplicate MODE button;
duplicate MUTE button;
call start and end buttons for an incoming call; in another mode, these buttons can be used to scroll through folders and tracks from music media;
sound volume control.

The presence of such equipment puts the Lada Vesta car on a par with more expensive foreign cars of similar configuration. Auxiliary buttons on the steering wheel

OEM radio controls

In the left corner there is a function key for activating/deactivating the radio. To the right there is a built-in microphone for conversations via Hands Free, and there is also a reset button to factory settings.

To the right is a monochrome display that displays basic information about tracks and radio frequencies.

Below is a slot for a storage card. It is mainly used for inserting a card and flashing the module, but if necessary, it can be used to read music tracks.

Below the perimeter there are preset buttons:

MUTE – mute sound;
Key to accept and reject calls (red and green);
SCAN - multifunctional key for surfing the navigation menu;
RADIO and AUDIO for switching playback modes from storage media;
In the center of the structure there is a washer - a regulator for selecting functions, listing, changing the volume;
At the very bottom there is a block with mechanical keys (6 in total) for quickly jumping to saved radio stations.

Functionality and multimedia capabilities of Lada Vesta

Multimedia combines the functions of several devices, without which no modern car can do. The basic operating principles of these devices should be studied in detail.

Sound filling of Lada Vesta

The touchscreen head unit consists of a seven-inch screen with a resistive sensor, the presence of which requires pressing the screen with a special stylus or any thin, blunt object. This input method may seem inconvenient, but in conditions of sudden temperature changes, the resistive display works flawlessly, unlike the capacitive sensor. The sound of the multimedia system is provided by six speakers located in the car interior. The audio preparation of the Lada Vesta allows the MMC to sound high-quality and spacious.

SD memory cards and flash drives have limits on the number of files and folders. There should not be more than 256 folders and 1024 files on the card, otherwise the MMS will not be able to read the information.

Navigation system

Multimedia is equipped with Navitel Navigator software. This is the Russian version of the navigation system, fully adapted to European standards and with the ability to download numerous maps and roads of many countries around the world. MMS Navitel has a function for requesting information about traffic jams online.

Navigation system Installation of Navitel is paid, its cost depends on the software version and the number of downloaded maps. You need to buy licensed software on the official website of the program developer. Average prices for versions with maps of one federal district of Russia - from 1000 rubles, for all roads in Russia - from 2000 rubles.

Lada Granta 2022

The Lada Granta car has been familiar to everyone since 2011, because it is a budget model that has gained wide popularity not only in Russia, but also abroad. The main reasons for the great popularity of Grants are their modern appearance, comfort and affordable price. Great demand for cars is a success that the auto company reinforces not only with modernization, but also with the release of new generation models.

It is known about the Lada Granta 2020-2021 that the car will receive global changes. The reason for their implementation is the transition to the Global Access or B0 platform from the Renault-Nissan concern. The potential for the use of the B0 base by the Russian auto industry is obvious, and it can be assessed using the Lada Xray model. Although the platform is considered budget, its use for assembling Grants has a negative side, which is reflected in an increase in the cost of the car.

What will the new Grant 2020-2021 be like - interior and exterior

The appearance of the new Grant will definitely be different, because the platform provides for an increase in dimensions, which means that the designers face a difficult task. On the one hand, the exterior will have to be redesigned, which will have to fit into the new platform, and on the other hand, it will be necessary to maintain the class of the car, which belongs to the budget segment. Forecasts and information from first sources indicate that the new Grant will have a more expressive and stylish appearance.

The interior is expected to undergo a redesign of the front panel, which will only have a rich appearance from the outside. For finishing it is planned to use the same inexpensive woven materials and plastic.

What's under the hood of the new Grant 2020-2021

Perhaps Granta fans will be disappointed, but there can be no talk of changing the technical content. The same 1.6-liter units with a power reserve of 87, 98 and 106 hp will be installed under the hood. The car will be based on a 5-speed manual transmission, but for automatic transmission fans, it is planned to produce models with a 5-speed robot.

The Lada Granta 2022 model year is offered in 7 trim levels; this is one of the most affordable new cars in Russia, so prices for it start at 483,900 rubles. We offer it in 3 modifications: 1.6 87 hp MT, 1.6 106 hp AMT and 1.6 98 hp.

It is not yet known when the new generation of Lada Granta will be released, but the manufacturer has set the deadline for the implementation of its plans as 2021. Specialists from France and Romania are actively working on developing the design of the new product, and it is expected that the first photos will soon be shown to the general public.

Diagnosis and Troubleshooting

Any multifunctional electronic device can fail at the most inopportune moment. What to do if multimedia does not work? First you need to identify the possible cause of the problem.

MMS freezing

Most often, the device freezes, which is “cured” by a regular reboot using the RESET button. Also turning off the MMC with the volume control or stopping the engine may help solve this minor problem. The multimedia device may not work correctly due to sudden temperature changes. Therefore, before turning on the multimedia system, you need to set the optimal temperature in the cabin.

Software failures

If the device does not respond to the actions taken with a reboot, you need to seek help from specialists. The creation and development of Lada Vesta multimedia is carried out by Itelma. Since the release of the Lada Vesta car, requests from owners have been registered with comments on the operation of multimedia. The developers of MMC Itelma released several firmware and sent them to official dealerships. Thus, the work to troubleshoot the multimedia system was streamlined.

Owners of Lada Vesta are not recommended to reflash the multimedia system themselves; this action involves removing the MMC from warranty service.

Purchase and installation of MMC

For car owners in the basic configuration, there is the opportunity to purchase a multimedia system as additional equipment. You can buy MMC Lada Vesta from the manufacturer’s dealer or on the websites of trusted online stores.

The price of multimedia Lada Vesta without pre-installed additional software will be 20 thousand rubles.
If we consider the purchase of an MMS with the necessary programs installed, the cost of multimedia can reach 40 thousand rubles.

The most economical option is to purchase a “bare” device, and you can install the software gradually and update program versions as necessary.

Unlike a radio with a screen, a regular radio without a screen is also installed on the Lada Vesta at the factory. It is installed on the “Norma” and “Standard” configurations. It has a 4.3-inch black and white display, a hands-free radio, and Bluetooth. There is also an “Aux” input and a slot for a flash drive. The standard radio of the Lada Vesta provides output to 4 speakers.

Screen

Another wave of outrage hit one of the modules of the Lada Vesta multimedia system, namely the touch screen. The resistive type of sensor was not to the liking of many car owners. And this is not only in Vesta - such panels have long been used in foreign cars and the latest VAZ models. The resistive type of sensor can rightfully be considered the most successful option for use in a car, since it has a number of advantages. It does not respond to changes in temperature and atmospheric conditions.

Pressing can be done with any (but not sharp) object, which is certainly convenient, since when moving it is not always possible to pay attention only to the radio. For example, you just got into a car in thirty-degree frost

They started it up and turned on the stove, but somehow they were reluctant to take off their gloves. And you want to listen to the latest news broadcast on the radio or the weather forecast. This is where the resistive type of screen shows its best side. You can safely click your finger on the screen without taking off your gloves.

Lada Vesta music on the standard radio is turned on in different ways:

Quickly press button No. 1.
Button No. 7 works in the same way.

Not everyone knows how to turn off the radio, but this is done in simple ways:

Button No. 1 – short press.
When you turn off the engine, Vesta's music will turn off automatically.

There are times when the radio tape recorder freezes. Press the reset button No. 3 with a thin rod and hold it pressed for about 3 seconds.

The Lada Vesta radio has a built-in backup power supply; the battery retains music, sound and station settings in the event of a car battery disconnection. Settings are saved for up to 10 days.

Lada Vesta SW Sport 2022

The AvtoVAZ company plans to expand the Lada Vesta model range. The new Lada Vesta SW Sport will be available for sale no earlier than mid-2022 (closer to August). Today you can already stand in line to buy a car from official dealers. The release of the sports station wagon version is carried out in small batches, and by the beginning of 2022 it is planned to prepare up to 300 units of equipment.

Last year, AvtoVAZ released the Vesta Sport - the sedan received a boosted 1.8 engine with 145 hp, a manual transmission and a redesigned suspension. The interior and exterior have also been updated; there are now many elements everywhere hinting at the sports version of the model. Frankly speaking, a car with a power of 145 horsepower and a weight of 1,300 kg, well, cannot be called truly sporty, but just a good car with a well-tuned chassis. Prices for Vesta Sport start from 1,080,900 rubles.

Judging by the photo of the model that appeared online, we can conclude that the new product will have minor differences compared to the standard version. In the front part, the front bumper and part of the body will be modified (sills and wide fenders like a sports sedan). At the rear, modifications to the trunk lid, bumper and bifurcated exhaust system are expected. 17-inch alloy wheels are borrowed from the sports sedan.

Under the hood of the new product, 145-horsepower gasoline engines with a volume of 1.8 liters will be used, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Compared to the sedan, the sports version of the Vesta station wagon has had its ground clearance reduced by 30 mm. Now the ground clearance is 162 mm, and an increase in track by 18 mm will have a positive effect on the quality of driving.

What can a tuner do?

The radio receiver has several operating modes:

Radio mode . Tuning radio stations can be done both manually and automatically.
Audio mode . With this setup of the Vesta radio, you can listen to music tracks from an SD memory card, a regular flash drive, or take music from a mobile device via Bluetooth wireless connection.
Listening to music from an external source . In this case, the “AUX” socket comes into play, through which the signal source is connected. You can connect the output from a phone, tablet computer or flash player. Music through the Aux jack does not lose sound quality, unlike Bluetooth.
Speakerphone . This mode uses Bluetooth wireless communication, which is convenient because there is no need to connect wires.

Lada 4×4 model 2022

For a long time there have been debates about whether AvtoVAZ will continue to update the legendary Niva 4x4? The last modernization of Niva or VAZ-2121 cars took place in 2006. After this period of time, the model nevertheless underwent another restyling, and today the new product has already gone on sale. It is produced, as before, in three modifications:

The updated version of Lada 4x4 is characterized by the following innovations:

a new front panel with a climate control control unit, consisting of three puck-shaped regulators;
the size of the ventilation deflectors has been increased, and the damper controls have been equipped with electric drives;
a new dashboard scale with a modern design;
the appearance of a digital display of the on-board computer on the parting panel;
interior equipped with 2 sockets, a large glove box and cup holders.

The manufacturer did not forget about comfort, which was increased by installing new seats. The mechanism for folding seat backs on three-door versions has been improved. It was possible to reduce the level of vibration from the motor by installing new motor mounts. The technical part has not been modernized, nor has the appearance. However, there is an opinion that German specialists will develop engines for the export Niva.

Reviews from car owners

The first opinions of new car owners about the standard radio are mostly positive. It has many functions, a clear design, and nothing superfluous. The quality of music in Vesta is at an acceptable level.

There is not enough multifunction steering wheel to control the radio, which you can read about in an interesting article. Many people are also interested in how to make a multifunction steering wheel with their own hands. Files are supported by the radio as on a touch system.

In the magazine “Behind the Wheel,” owners write that there is no point in expecting anything beyond high-quality from an inexpensive car. The music in the Lada Vesta radio is no worse than in foreign cars of this class. In other parameters the quality is quite decent. Russian names are visible on the screen, there is a speakerphone, and a good wireless connection.

The control keys are of sufficient size. Many foreign cars have systems with a screen. But their ergonomics are not always good. The large screen may lack navigation and even lack a rearview camera. AvtoVAZ designers took care of this and made convenient buttons and an informative display.

Some people won’t like Vesta’s radio because it doesn’t have a laser disc player, but this format is already outdated. It is much more convenient to use flash drives. They hold a lot of music and don't take up space in the car.

Note

Don't forget to buy an adapter frame for a 2DIN radio.

Also note that if the depth of the radio is more than 150 mm, you will have to cut off part of the plastic T-shaped mount inside the dashboard. This is described in the instructions for installing a 2DIN radio on Vesta.

To connect the multifunction steering wheel, you will need a special adapter (price about 1,500 rubles), which is already sold in online stores.

What do you think is the best 2DIN radio for Vesta? Detailed photos and video reviews from the comments will be added to the article. By the way, some Android radios for Vesta can be found in the AliExpress catalog.
