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.

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.

Let us remind you that AvtoVAZ installs radios with an LCD display on the “Lux” configuration.

Using my station wagon as an example, I would like to write a little about the standard audio preparation of the Lada Kalina. As far as I know now, all cars, starting with the “norm” configuration, have audio preparation, which includes:

Plugs for connecting the radio
Wires for front speakers
Wires for rear speakers

Now I will describe everything with photographs and in more detail below. So, the plugs for connecting the radio are located under the plug below the heater control unit. If you remove this plug, there will be two gray and brown connectors.

The radio is connected very simply, gray color is up, brown color is down. As for the wires in the front doors, to get to them you need to remove the front door trim. The example below shows the conclusions already in the door trim cut under the column:

But at first we had to search a little for the rear ones; on the left side the wire was quickly found, since it was located near the trunk light:

And the right one is located under the trunk trim, glued with tape to the metal of the rear arch, so you will first have to look for it with your hand under the trim or remove it altogether. Here is an example of the already routed wires:

Many potassium growers wrote that they don’t have any wires even at the “normal” level, but I was convinced of the opposite. For example, my 2011 Kalina Station Wagon. I tried to connect the rear wires to the speaker, everything works fine, the music flows. So installing music with standard audio preparation is as easy as shelling pears.

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.

A device called 7900010-40 in the interior of Kalina-2

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.

Benefits of new technologies

MMC Lada Kalina 2 is characterized by a simplified control system. Now all the necessary options can be obtained with 1-2 taps on the screen.

The device is able to operate without failures in any temperature conditions.

Lada owners often complained that in sunny weather it became impossible to use the car radio. This is due to the numerous glares that make the characters on capacitive screens almost unreadable. The designers, when developing the second version of the radio, took this drawback into account.
