Review of the standard radio (MMC) Lada XRAY TOP (luxury)

April 11, 2016 Lada.Online 71 408 37

In the maximum configuration of the Lada XRAY, a multimedia system (MMC or Media Nav Evolution) with a 7" color display with TouchScreen and navigation is installed in the cabin. This audio system came from Renault and has great functionality. Let's figure out what the standard XRAY MMS is capable of and what reviews there are about it.

Let's start with the fact that the radio is located at the top of the panel, which is very convenient. The angle of inclination also turned out to be successful; this allows you to read information from the display without difficulty. The 7" screen at maximum brightness allows you to easily read information even on a sunny day.

All capabilities of the radio are presented on the main menu in the form of large six buttons:

1. Radio
2. Media (USB, iPod, BT or AUX audio playback)
3. Phone (hands-free via Bluetooth)
4. Map (map mode)
5. Navigation (route setting and options)
6. Setup (audio, display, bluetooth and system)

Switching between radio modes occurs quickly, without freezing.

We will not dwell in detail on each menu item; you can study MMS in detail from the user manual. To download files, you need to log in to the site. We will tell you what is not in this manual.

Advantages of MMS

1. The standard multimedia system has decent sound, as evidenced by numerous reviews from owners. Not only the head unit, but also 6 speakers (in the doors and tweeters in the windshield pillars) are responsible for high-quality sound. It is pleasant to listen to music not only in city traffic, but also at a speed of 120-140 km/h. It's difficult to convey sound quality through a camera, but many people try:

2. It is worth noting the standard antenna, which allows you to pick up radio stations that are out of reach of other cars.

3. The multimedia system has an intuitive menu, large buttons (you can’t miss it with your finger) and wide settings. For example, it is possible to set the sound level to change depending on the speed of the car. There is a bass/middle/treble setting that allows you to customize the sound to suit you. You can change the volume of the voice of the navigator, phone, call.

4. Via the USB connector you can not only listen to music, but also update your navigator maps or system.

5. Stable job. For a month the radio never froze.

Do you need a replacement?

This is, in fact, a much more complex question than it seems at first glance.

With such a radio, the interior of the X Ray looks much better

Options

First you need to figure out how much the Lada X-Ray buyer will overpay if he buys a more expensive version equipped with a multimedia center. So, in the Exclusive package this device is installed by default, but in the Luxe version there are different configuration codes - both with a simple audio system and with multimedia.

The price differences are reflected in the table:

X Ray with a simple device
As you can see, the difference in cost varies from 29,000 rubles to 38,000 rubles. By and large, all this overpayment goes for the multimedia center and a couple of additional speakers. It is not surprising that those for whom 2 additional speakers do not make any difference refuse the more expensive version and are interested in the possibility of replacing the radio in the Lada X-Ray.

At the dealer

If they choose a more affordable configuration, many buyers will immediately find out about the price of replacing the radio in X-Ray from the dealer. However, this is clearly not worth doing, since this option is the most unprofitable!

And this was proven by journalists from the authoritative portal “Avtovesti”, who asked the official LADA dealers in Moscow with this question. In the showrooms the answer was given that replacing the radio in the Lada X-Ray with a multimedia center would cost 67,666 rubles! Of these, 63,166 rubles will have to be paid for the radio and another 4,500 rubles for installation.

Replacing the radio in a Lada X-Ray from a dealer is too expensive

Of course, it is worth considering that this was true as of May 2016 and the situation has changed since then. In addition, it should be noted that for foreign cars, as a rule, prices are even higher.

However, now a multimedia center with a 7-inch display on the AvtoVAZ website costs 32,630 rubles under article number 99999000212617. Installation remains approximately at the same level, at least for now.

Disadvantages of MMS

1. Unlike multimedia systems Lada (Granta/Kalina/Priora), MMC XRAY does not have the ability to play video files.

2. Also, the radio does not have the usual round volume controls. To increase or decrease the sound you have to press buttons.

3. The multifunction steering wheel allows you to control the volume of the radio, but there are no buttons for switching tracks (previous, next), to do this you have to reach out to the MMC screen (how to solve the problem).

4. Reading USB devices is fast, but the flash drive must be in FAT32 format and have a maximum memory capacity of 32Gb.

5. The standard navigation program on XRAY is IGO. It may slow down in some places. For example, there are noticeable stutters when entering a destination address or when moving a map across the screen with your finger. You cannot zoom in or out on the map with two fingers (there is no multi-touch), you have to press the buttons.

6. It is not possible to use SD cards.

You can also evaluate the capabilities of the XRAY head unit using the video review:

In general, MMC XRAY leaves a positive impression; there are some shortcomings, but they are not that significant. What feedback can you leave about the multimedia system? Are the cons that significant?

Note to potential XRay buyers

Think carefully, how much does the presence of rich audio system capabilities influence your choice of a more expensive version? If it does, we dare to assure you that the market today offers a lot of radio tape recorders with very great capabilities in the range of 20-25 thousand rubles. And in 1DIN/2DIN format housings.

Of course, against the backdrop of the same foreign cars, which often charge prices from 100 thousand rubles for such retrofitting. and higher (and some, and not even elite brands - like Toyota Camry - can, without a twinge of conscience, ask you to pay about 1 million rubles), official AvtoVAZ dealers will seem like just philanthropists.
