Characteristics of the Lada Largus standard radio

Radio code for Lada Largus and radio firmware

The Lada Largus model is a joint brainchild of the designers AvtoVAZ and Renault-Nissan.
Its design is based on the popular universal public car Dacia Logan MCV. When creating this car, the main focus was on the category of practical and family car enthusiasts, because the set of technical and operational features of the model fully correspond to its image. The basic version of the equipment of the Lada Largus implies the presence of a standard radio, which the Korean company Daewoo kindly shared with Tolyatti residents. However, sometimes the firmware of the radio is required. In addition to the head unit, the developers addressed 4 loudspeakers located around the perimeter of the interior space, or rather in the door panels. Owners notice that this device fits harmoniously into the interior and has quite simple and convenient functionality. All controls and buttons are intuitive and do not cause “stupor” even for “wild” drivers. The high-quality fit of all components of the audio complex is also noted, since during operation it was not possible to find any backlashes or squeaks in the buttons.

To study in detail the full range of functions of this radio and how to control them, you should watch this informative and useful video:

Note that the consumer radio kit includes convenient instructions, which are designed to provide a quick acquaintance with the device and its functionality. In this article we will tell you how to unlock the Largus head unit.

Open the folder and run the file CALC PHILIPS DE DOS.exe

In the first line “Entrez votre precode ou uit:” we write our PRE-CODE from the radio and press Enter on the keyboard.

We get the generated password for the radio in the line “Code = ****”

We enter the received password into your car head unit.

Functions of the standard Largus audio radio

The audio device that is present in the Lada Largus allows the owner to acquire such useful options as:

search and memorize radio stations broadcasting in the traditional FM or AM bands;
the ability to display the names of tuned stations with a convenient “RDS” function;
playback of audio programs recorded in the following formats: “MP3” and “WMA”, as well as “AAC” and “WAV”;
connecting external sources to the head unit for the purpose of subsequent playback of information programs through standard speakers (for this, the radio has “USB” and “Jack” connectors, as well as a “Bluetooth” option;
switching with the “Hands Free” wireless kit, which allows telephone communication with subscribers while driving.

Also, we should not forget about the presence of a security coding function in the radio, which allows you to increase the degree of protection of the device from theft attempts.

Coding of the original car radio

The standard Lada Largus device contains a set of protection functions that allow you to block attempts to turn on in cases where:

the power supply from the on-board network (battery) is disconnected;
the fuse-link protecting the device burns out;
The radio is directly disconnected from the local power supply.

To be able to turn on a locked radio, you will need to enter a special four-digit code key. This code for the radio may be present in the service documentation attached to the device itself or simply be communicated to the owner at the time of purchase in the showroom.

Note that the code for the radio is entered using the keyboard, which is located on the front panel of the device.

The principle of operation of the radio

You can't please all people. Some people like the original standard audio system that comes with a new car, while others want a more advanced option. So what is it like - the original Lada Largus radio? The appearance harmonizes very well with the interior design. Convenient control buttons help you quickly figure out what to press or scroll where. The radio tape recorder fits into its proper place tightly and without unnecessary play. The sound is also good, music for every taste sounds excellent and clear. The radio picks up the signal well, even if the reception is so-so.

Radio setup

You can play music from discs or via the Bluetooth connection of your smartphone. It should be noted that the quality does not suffer. Yes, and tuned radio stations can be recorded so that they do not disappear. In addition to disks, you can also use a USB connector, to which you can easily connect a flash drive and play music from it. The device reads basic formats perfectly.

You can rewind and pause even in the middle of a song without having to start over every time. The display shows information about connected devices if a song is playing, that is, the title and artist. In general, connecting devices and operating them is a simple task.

Song selection

If necessary, you can connect to it, in addition to the above, also headphones via the Jack connector. Some people don’t really like that the outer panel is non-removable, like the previous options. But to think that this is not a problem at all, because if someone wants to steal it, then the absence of an external socket is unlikely to stop the attacker. And he didn’t come for her, but for the radio.

So, the Lada Largus factory head unit has a good set of functions. As soon as the thought arises that something is missing, you need to take the instructions and read them carefully. It is possible that we simply do not know about some possibilities.

Enter the code. Step-by-step instruction

How to enter the code step by step. The input process itself involves following this sequence of manipulations.

We turn on the Lada Largus radio by pressing the “1” button in the keyboard field. In this case, an inscription appears in the form of “CODE” with the numeric dial “0000”. The first digit character will be in flashing mode.
Now, by pressing the “1” button, we achieve the first digit to appear on the display.
Entering the next digits in the code line is carried out in a similar way. However, this will require pressing the keyboard buttons corresponding to the serial number of the code digit (“2”, “3” and “4”).
Once you have completed entering all four code characters, you will need to press and then hold the “6” button, also located in the keyboard field.
Immediate unlocking of the radio will indicate that the code on the radio has been entered correctly.

Important! When the radio code is entered incorrectly, a message in the form of “CODE ERROR... WAIT” is displayed on the screen, after which a 2-minute time delay will be required. Then you can start re-entering.

Each subsequent input attempt, if it turns out to be incorrect, requires a shutter speed twice the previous time interval, etc.

Push-button car radio 281152186R (standard) for VAZ Largus

Dear customers, in order to avoid mistakes when sending the original “Daewoo” head unit to a Lada Largus with Bluetooth, in the “Comment” line indicate the model of the “Daewoo” or HUMAX HARN head unit, your car model, year of manufacture.

Many people spend a lot of time in their car. This is especially true for residents of megacities, because in order to get to work and back, they often have to sit in traffic jams. The Lada Largus car is equipped with a modern audio system that allows you to brighten up your time on the road. It supports mp3, also reads a flash drive via USB input, has AUX, radio. Installed in standard places does not require modification of seats.

On the Lada Largus, the standard installed radio looks exactly the same as on the Duster and Sandero models from Renault - after all, they are also assembled in Russia. True, on Largus the radio tape recorder is installed only in the “standard” and “luxury” trim levels.

The AGC-1220RF-A audio system provides the following functions:

— RDS radio;

— CD/CD MP3 player;

— control of additional audio devices;

— Bluetooth hands-free telephony system

The product itself is quite good, and, despite its somewhat proletarian appearance, it is well assembled, nothing loose or sticks in it. Reproduction of sound and music is at a quite decent level, “buns” in the form of mp3, Bluetooth, ID3tag (Russian file names), Hands free, RDS are also present.

The most useful and necessary characteristic of the radio is the ability to connect it via a wireless Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone. This is not only convenient and comfortable, but also safe, because now you can talk on the phone without using your hands. And the quality of such communication is quite decent, the interlocutor hears perfectly, and there is no need to shout.

On the front panel of the radio on the left there is a SET button, which is responsible for using individual user settings. However, this key also has a number of undocumented functions. So, if you press this button and hold it for at least six seconds, you can get to a secret menu with additional settings. As already mentioned, there is not a word about this in the user manual.

After entering this menu, three new items will open for you: “Diagnostics”, “Radio Monitor” and “Device Configuration”:

You can move up and down items in this menu using the rotary knob on the right. Confirm your choice by pressing the same right handle.

If you need to return to the previous menu item at any level, you can press the “Back” button (it is located to the left of the right “twist”, which you control by moving the cursor around the menu).

When you select the “Radio Monitor” item, you can view the frequency of the radio signal of the received station, as well as a number of other parameters.

By selecting the “Diagnostics” menu item, a new submenu opens before us with the lines “Monitor”, “Errors” and “Autotest”.

The “Errors” submenu is designed to notify the driver about on-board computer errors occurring in the system. If everything is in order with the machine, when you enter this submenu the screen will be blank (therefore, there will be no errors).

By going to the “Autotest” menu, you will receive information about the status of the current equipment (if “OK” is visible in the line with the equipment, therefore, the equipment written in the line is working as expected:

- FM,AM Ant OK (Pas). Operation of the radio module (FM and AM range).

— MICROPHONE OK. Microphone operation.

— SPEAKERS OK. Is there sound coming from the speakers?

— BT MODULE OK. Is the Bluetooth module working?

— CD OK. The mechanical part of the CD player is in good working order.

— FASIA BUTTON OK. Normal operation of car radio keys.

— POWER IC OK. Operation of the on/off button.

If you go back and select the line called “Monitor”, the display will display basic information about the vehicle parameters.

This includes data on the network status, the status of the car's backlight (you can check the operation of this function by turning off or on the side lights of the car - the backlight status will change in real time to ON/OFF), battery voltage, USB device connection status , as well as about automatically decreasing/increasing the sound volume when the car speed decreases/increases (if the car has the appropriate wire for this function to work correctly).

In general, we dare to note that the undocumented menu of the Lada Largus car is indeed an excellent addition to the standard functionality of the audio system - we hope that it will not be difficult for you to understand its operation and the operating features of certain functions in more detail.

How to decode the head unit

The procedure involves determining the radio code, entering which allows you to activate the head unit in the Lada Largus. Such actions should be resorted to when the word “CODE” appears on the display, and the owner does not know its digital version. Let's consider the option of how to unlock the radio, as well as how to enter the code correctly.

Here you will need access to a special code generator applicable to Renault and LADA Largus radios. You can get this service by registering for free on the corresponding website on the network.

The decoding process involves an algorithm consisting of several stages.

We simultaneously press and hold the “1” and “6” buttons present on the keyboard (for 5-6 seconds).
After this, the display will display the inscription “pre code xxxx”, where the last four characters indicate that same “pre code”. It is necessary to gain access to the secret code combination, by entering which the radio will be instantly decoded. The radio code itself is formed from one letter and 3 numbers.
If this operation fails, you will need to dismantle the radio. For this purpose, you need to acquire two pullers “7711381821” or four pins. These devices are inserted into special holes present on the front panel of the audio device. Simultaneous pressing on the integrated removable components allows you to remove the radio from the landing shaft. Now disconnect the cable connector and antenna wire.
There is a sticker on the back wall of the device on which the manufacturer has applied a special barcode and other information related to this product. There you can also find the same “PRE-CODE”.
We go to a site with a code generator and enter the “PRE-CODE” read on the sticker into a special window for this service.
Now we confidently click on the “Generate” button, after which we get the code we need.
Next remains the method indicated by us to enter encoded information into the radio.

Attention! Before dismantling the device, we recommend disconnecting the power supply by removing the terminals from the corresponding terminals of the LADA Largus battery.

Radio MediaNav

So, why were all the modifications made to rearrange the buttons back and forth!

I have long wanted a radio with a large screen and navigation! But their prices, especially with the introduction of sanctions, have skyrocketed! At first I looked at universal radios, preferably cheaper ones, but over time their square appearance and price completely scared me off. But there are simply no new and inexpensive standard radios for Renault. I went to Avito. Well, since we have a standard radio and Renault giblets, then we need to look for a “new” radio from Renault. Well, everyone has their own logic, this is not discussed here! The radio from Duster (as well as from the new Logan and Sandero) MediaNav suited this role.

The radio is simple, there is not even a TV! But judging by the information on the Internet, this TV is of no use on long trips! In addition, initially you can’t even connect a rear view camera to it and it doesn’t show video, and the standard navigation is useless, and he even wants money for new maps! BUT! All these little things can be eliminated if you flash the radio with Menavrus firmware. True, this pleasure costs 2000 rubles, but it’s worth it!

Now I can watch videos and the navigation is varied (although I only use Navitel). And with a little fiddling you can connect a rear view camera. But there is no Internet yet, although the author of the firmware promises to do something about it, and it’s free. Otherwise, without information about traffic jams, it’s somehow not very good. There is also an idea to connect a TV tuner with a video output (instead of a rear view camera), but this is already trash...

I looked for it on Avito for a long time, but the prices were 9000-15000 rubles. Somehow they weren’t happy about BU. The radio is not universal, where you can plug it in without modifications, only in Renault. There doesn't seem to be much demand. I was already thinking about buying a standard regular radio from Duster for 3000 BU, especially since I ruined mine after experimenting with backlighting. I wanted the radio to look like the standard one on Largus, and its sound is not bad, by the way, it screams normally. And again, later, when I get rich, I can simply plug another radio into the already prepared place.

And then an advertisement came out with a price of 5,000. I immediately understood - I have to take it!

I called the seller, met at the metro, I checked the radio, connected it, the connectors are the same. Everything was fine with me, they shook hands with me, and I went to Mitino to buy an additional GPS antenna, it was another 900 rubles, there was no time to wait for half the price from China, there were already two weeks left before the trip to the sea.

Initially I wanted to do something like this. This is a restyling of Logan (Duster, Sandero) for Latin America...

As it turned out later, such an overlay is even sold on Aliexpress. But it is expensive, especially at the new dollar exchange rate. Yes, and I have already started remaking the standard trim, but with buttons (hazard warning lights and heated seats) on the bottom.

Good afternoon. I have the same situation. The official Renault center could not help. Has anyone overcome this problem?

Why the hell are they needed then if there is so much hassle with them? Isn't it easier to buy a regular normal radio?

The dealer couldn't supply me with a new one under warranty because of this CONNECT DIAG TOOL - I need some kind of special cord for it, I ordered it and I'm waiting.

Hello. That's right. My 2 service centers in Volgograd could not start due to lack of cable. But I solved the problem. True, I had to send the radio tape recorder to Lipetsk. There is a specialist there who stitched it for 500 rubles. Fortunately, an acquaintance went to Lipetsk on business and I saved on shipping.

Can I contact this specialist from Lipetsk?

If you ever find the lady, let me know.

What's the issue with connectdiag here? Same problem.

The seller cheated, Bitch. He promised to help but doesn’t answer the phone. I found a person who can flash it, but I need a dump, which I haven’t been able to find yet. It lies like a dead weight, next to the amplifier that I wanted to install on this radio

What's the issue with connectdiag here? Same problem.

Radio in action

It is clear that there is no friend for taste and color, as they say. Some people like the standard audio system, but others don't like it at all. Let's figure out what Lada Largus owners actually acquire along with the car.

Visually, the design of the radio tape recorder fits perfectly into the interior of the cabin. Its buttons and controls are quite convenient, and the symbols are intuitive. No loosening, backlash or failures are observed. Everything is adjusted very clearly.

Music in Lada Largus via Bluetooth:

As for playback, any genre of music will sound great. If you want to listen to radio stations, then an excellent antenna allows you to catch the signal even where it is too weak. It is possible to save certain radio stations in the amount of 6 stations in each band.

You can listen to music from existing CDs, flash drives, or simply from your phone or player via Bluetooth. The audio system reads formats such as CD, MP3, AAC, WMA and WAV. If this is Bluetooth playback, then pause and rewind control is available not only in albums, but also within songs.

The charge indicator of the Bluetooth device is visible on the display of the radio. There is also RDS - this is when the title of the song and its artist are displayed on the display. The device understands Russian fonts in ID Tag. The audio system has several options for connecting additional devices: Jack connector, USB connector and Bluetooth connection.

The radio has various inputs for reading music from external devices

Many car enthusiasts are not happy that the standard radio panel is not removable. However, there is nothing to worry about, because drivers often store the removable panel of their audio systems directly in the car, either in the glove compartment or under the seat. Therefore, if someone decides to steal a radio, it is unlikely that the main criterion when choosing a device will be the absence of a removable panel.

Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that the standard radio in the Lada Largus car is quite good. It has a sufficient number of functions so that drivers do not have any difficulties when using it. And detailed instructions will help you easily master all the capabilities of this audio system.

Confirm the password using the joystick.
Reboot the device and use it normally.

The actions are relevant for first and second generation cars before and after 2022.

Largus radio code: how to find out

To find out the radio code, you can use several methods. The following describes information on where to find it.

You can find the password in the car's service book. If the previous owner encountered a problem, he could add information to the manual. Also, in some trim levels the data is available by default.
Generate a password using the programmer. To do this, you will need to download a special utility and enter the required information in the dialog box. Attention! Below is a form where you can generate the required cipher.
Use the VIN code and manufacturer services. You can find the required data on the company's website.
Contact an authorized dealer. In specialized workshops, specialists will quickly eliminate the cause of the malfunction. The technicians can also write down the driver’s license plate number in case this happens again in the future.

Radio code by VIN

Using the VIN number of the car, you can get a password for free on the manufacturer’s official website. The sequence of actions is as follows.

Find your VIN code in your passport or on the chassis.
Go to the service developed by the company.
Enter the number in the appropriate field and follow the instructions.
Next, you need to write down the generated password and not lose it.
The last step is to enter the code into the radio.

Note! This manual is valid only for standard speaker systems originally installed in the car.

How to enter the code

To correctly add the radio code after replacing the battery, you will need to follow the established sequence of actions.

Turn on the audio system by pressing key 1.

Lada Largus radio code generator

To obtain the Lada Largus radio code, special generators are used. This is either an online service or a desktop application.

All this password protection for the radio was invented in order to minimize theft of head units. The Lada Largus radio is completely unified with the Renault and Nissan radios. Using the radio code prevents thieves from accessing multimedia functions, making stealing the radio useless. At least that's what the creators of this function thought, but in current realities it doesn't make any sense. After all, if there is a back label of the radio with a PRE code, generating a password for the radio is not difficult.
