Installation of a radio tape recorder

Produced without any problems. It easily fits into the car's standard socket and plugs into the standard connectors.
When installing the car stereo Nissan X TRAIL in modern cars, sometimes additional accessories are required.   For example, if the regular place for the car stereo turned out to be a non-standard size, then you might need a transition frame, an ISO adapter and an antenna adapter to connect the radio antennas.
  In such cases, it is recommended to install the radio cassettes in special services, where the professionals will sort out the wiring and finalize the transition frame. The main advantages of the car receiver Nissan X TRAIL - this is an excellent price and good quality.
  Naturally, for the installation of radio tape recorder in the car workshop, the masters will be required to pay a certain amount. In this case, it is not a fact that the named price will suit everyone.
  That's why many choose the installation of the radio with their own hands. It is very important, before starting this process, to review detailed photos with descriptions. The instruction described in any video from the Internet will also be very handy.

Sooner or later, most owners of modern Nissan X-Trail have a desire to modernize their "iron horse". Anyone who travels to the unknown fares needs a navigator, someone loves or is forced to talk a lot on the phone while driving, but how little that else may be needed.

For many people, a personal car contains elements of the office, a place of rest and has ceased to be just a means of transportation. It is understandable why many seek to install a radio with a wide range of functions in the car, which would satisfy his needs as much as possible, among which the video is in the lead. The century of radio tape recorder has sunk into oblivion, the era of multimedia centers is coming.

It's also difficult to please "avid audio-fans", because the main purpose of tape recorders is to play music, nobody canceled it. But there are many ways to save and transfer audio files, as well as reproduce them. And it is here that the capabilities of a regular head unit can not satisfy everyone.

In general, one of the common options to make your car - to change the head unit. The market of modern radio tape recorders is extensive, the functionality is diverse. This review is designed to help you determine the basic parameters and models of devices mounted in the regular place of the car, as well as independently install them.

Basic selection criteria

If you are only interested in listening to music or other audio files, then you should determine only the media that you use most often.

Native recorder Nissan allows you to play music from six CDs, listen to the radio and connect via Bluetooth technology to the owner's smartphone.

Unfortunately, it can not play MP3 files or DVDs, and there is also no possibility of connecting USB or SD-drives.

Viewing video files or TV channels can brighten up your waiting time in traffic jams. The market has a sufficient number of radio tape recorders with a built-in TV tuner and various "blue" screens. Also, the screen can display an image from the rear camera, which is activated when the reverse is activated on your Nissan.

Another function necessary for travelers is the navigator. Modern recorders working on Windows and Android operating systems allow you to install navigation systems, update maps of the terrain so you do not have to get lost.

Built-in GSM-modem, in the latest models with support for 4G technology, will allow you, while in your Nissan, to browse the web with the built-in browser, check mail or download data from the Internet.

On diagnostics in the service center can too to forget road. After all, you can have a diagnostic function for monitoring your systems and sensors, reading error codes in your radio cassette recorder. And in the manual you can easily find the cause of the fault by the error code.

Consider some of the models of radio tape recorders, the size of 2-DIN, which will perfectly fit into your Nissan's interior, will make your journey more comfortable.

Important factors that determine the choice

The name of the manufacturer, or otherwise - the brand. As the models can differ in quality, price and functionality, it is worth choosing a radio tape recorder of the most competitive brand that exists in this device market for a long period.

A large number of supported formats differ media receivers (MP5 radio tape recorders), capable of reproducing lossless files of various compression.

Do not neglect the characteristics of the power amplifier. As it is considered: the higher the maximum power of the amplifier, the better the sound at the average level of loudness.   And the optimum, for the car, the parameter, is the power of 50W per each of the four channels.   And, of course, we should not forget that the power of the speakers should be at least twice the power of the amplifier.

Radio c recorder Windows "On board"

The considered model on Windows OS from Daystar - DS-7010HD X-Trail with its beautiful and durable plastic fits perfectly into the interior. The quality of the reproduced sound is radically different from the regular radio nissan x trail t31. This model of the device is made specifically for this type of car and it is perfectly fixed with standard fasteners. Equipped with a 6.5 "LCD screen with a resolution of 800x480, it can read DVD / MP3 / MP4 / CD and is controlled by the remote control that is also included. A set of wires for connection, together with the Russian-language instruction manual will easily install the recorder on its own.

Navigation GPS software from Navitel is already pre-installed on your media center. You will only need to update the maps to the current versions.

Analog TV tuner will not let you get bored in minutes waiting, allowing you to watch your favorite TV shows. And the output amplifier, with a power of 45W for each of the 4 channels, will allow you to listen to quality playback when traveling to nature.

Android devices

Due to the openness of the Android platform, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of devices, manufacturers of radio tape recorders, in today's market, a wide choice is provided.

One example is the Kaior KR-6213 radio cassette recorder developed on the modern S180 base. Installed in a regular place, the radio is equipped with a 6.2 "screen with a resolution of 800 * 480. Frost-resistant, capacitive touch screen has excellent brightness and angles. When the headlights are activated, the illumination of the display automatically decreases, and the brightness level can be set using the buttons on the handlebars.

The screen displays a picture from the rearview camera and parking, and when the radio is off.

In the radio, depending on the model, 2 or 3 USB ports are integrated to connect USB Flash, 3G or Wifi modem, OBD adapter, etc. There is a built-in Wifi module that can perform the function of an access point, distributing the Internet to several users simultaneously.
  The voice control function works well. Commands are recognized clearly.

A feature of this model is the ability to work simultaneously with two navigation systems - GPS and GLONASS. The radio module is sensitive, quickly detects satellites and operates smoothly throughout the entire itinerary.

In addition to the built-in microphone, it is possible to connect an external microphone. Control is made by the keys on the handlebars. And the contact book of your phone is easily synchronized with the built-in book of the radio.

Independent replacement of a radio tape recorder

Having decided to apply your electronics skills you decided to replace the original recorder of your Nissan X-Trail T31 by yourself? Listen to several recommendations.

First of all, having read the instructions for installing a new radio and checking the completeness, disconnect the "plus" terminal from the battery of your car. Then remove the decorative panel around the radio, putting considerable effort. Do not be afraid to break, pull boldly and strongly.

The figure from the manual for the Nissan X-Trail indicates the location of the effort. And in the photo below, shows live how to pull.

After removing the panel, remove the original recorder. The result should be:

Disconnect the three connectors: steering, antennas and speakers with power.

And, in the end, using the installation instructions from your new purchase, mount the new head unit by connecting the necessary external blocks and wires to it, in accordance with the electrical diagram.

After completion of work, connect the positive terminal to the battery and turn on the radio. Make the initial setting of the parameters, lowering the volume to a minimum. Check the correctness of the control with the remote control.

In conclusion, you can definitely say that by changing the head unit of the car to Chinese crafts, built on Android, Windows or other platforms, you can get a constantly braking device with a lot of bugs in the software.

Choose high-quality products from large, popular on the market manufacturers.

Native head unit Nissan X-Trail T31 or simply radio, leaves much to be desired. The on-board computer with the navigator in the basic configuration is not provided, there is no reading of MP3 disks. Video discs and DVD head unit for the Nissan X-Trail T31 also does not read. It is not possible to connect flash drives, additional hard drives due to the lack of the required connectors, and an integrated blue tooth, which should provide communication with the radio X-Trail T31 with external devices, often jar.

A full-fledged on-board computer would not really interfere with a class car, but its role is played by an outdated radio and silicone stand for a smartphone, where you have to download the necessary programs in the way. In theory, the so-called on-board computer communicates with the owner's smartphone using special software. For the sake of fairness, we note that the stand for smart in the Nissan X-Trail T31 is really comfortable and does not slip.   Nearby there are convenient compartments for various trifles connected with electronics. In principle, you can leave the staffing device as is.

How to solve the problem without replacement?

It would seem that the solution is obvious? It is possible to use the head unit of the Nissan X-Trail T31 as a connection, connect a smartphone and use its power for the main tasks. But in this case it is difficult to connect diagnostics, and the phone is very quickly discharged.

The last generation iPhone can be discharged twice and thrice a day with active use. Consequently, it has to be connected to car charging. Install a convenient splitter is not difficult. The problem is that with a constant connection, the battery quickly fails, and to monitor the drop in the charge level and every time carefully connecting the smart to the network is extremely inconvenient and troublesome. In any case, the smartphone is the only way to at least somehow replace the full-fledged on-board computer in the Nissan X-Trail T31.

You can act like most car owners, and stick a navigator on the glass, place a decent audio system in the cabin and leave the smartphone as a control device.

The majority of car owners soon enough to have ideas on how to replace the original device Nissan X-Trail T31. In principle, if there is an experience of modernization, you can perform an upgrade yourself. To replace the on-board device on more actual offers a lot of different companies.

Important technical issues and insurance Nissan X-Trail

Replace the head unit and keep the warranty and insurance is not so simple. Even if you simply take out the staffing device and cover up the resulting hole with plastic, you will need to visit the insurance agent. If you need to intervene in the wiring diagram, remove the staffing device and add a device with a non-standard connection, albeit with additional features, this can cause problems. This is one of the reasons why many drivers do not change the device, just adding it with a smartphone and a navigator.

Why does it need to be replaced?

Let's admit that ordinary recorders, playing music and radio stations, creating a noise and information background for the driver, allowing not to fall asleep on the way, is the last century. Native head unit on the Nissan X-Trail T31 easily reads up to 6 music CDs at a time, but it's not an on-board computer. 20 years ago reading 6 CDs would cause delight. At the moment, such a balancing act is perplexing. The head unit that simulates the onboard computer on the Nissan X-Trail looks good compared to what the competitors offer, but it is still hopelessly outdated.

Children want cartoons, older children want to play interactive games, the rest would not be prevented by a TV tuned for a favorite sports, music, culinary or educational channel. With a clogged road, the TV would not hurt the driver. No one knows how long waiting in traffic jams can take.

Multimedia center in a modern car should be able to reproduce video and audio from any formats in an acceptable quality. Especially this applies to machines designed for travel. So, like the Nissan X-Trail.

Let's consider different variants

For replacement, an on-board 2-DIN computer is required. Requirements for the brand, initially, put forward minimal - the presence on the market of car radios for at least 3 years, sufficient functionality and good user reviews. Inexpensive on-board computer can be found on the basis of android, there are options for Win with good advanced functions.

The most popular is the option of installing in the Nissan X-Trail a modern radio with a TV tuner, with one or two screens. The size of the screens can also be different. The second small screen is needed to output information from additional cameras. For example, from the rear camera, which will turn on when switching to reverse. Pretty handy.

The leader for fans of good sound and image is the on-board computer Pioneer AVH-X8500BT and newer versions, allowing to integrate the head unit with newer models of iPhone.   The kit well rises in the Nissan T31.

Head Unit on Windows

In the opinion of the majority, the modern on-board computer Nissan T31 should have a built-in navigator with updated maps of the terrain and vehicle search systems. There is a lot of convenient software that allows not only to lay convenient routes, but also to bypass existing jams, use updated maps, summaries, weather forecasts. The best programs give drivers the opportunity to communicate online. This is important both in urban conditions and outside the city.

The power of the device should be enough to fully work with the Internet and the quality of communication should also be good anywhere in the world. For mobile Internet, a special device configuration is required, 3G and 4G technologies require a special format for network devices. It is also desirable to connect Nissan to public WIFI networks. These requirements are suitable Daystar - DS-7010HD X-Trail. The monitor is slightly smaller, only 6.5 inches, most prefer 7 inch monitors. Convenience of the kit in easy self-connection. Simply plug in the correct plugs, guided by the manual.

Headset on Android

The cheapest devices of this type are the crossover on Android. The ability to download free content in a huge amount, convenient management, ease of configuration and low cost of maintenance, ensure a sustainable sale.

Built-in service scanner. Maybe? Diagnosis of the car can be carried out independently. But there is a certain danger when using unlicensed software. Given that the Nissan X-Trail T31 is quite a lot of automated functions for managing transmissions and differentials, it is not necessary to experiment with unknown programs.

Underwater rocks

Incompatibilities between devices. If the size of the required radio tape recorder is known to us and coincides with the requirements of Nissan, this does not mean that the manufacturers agreed with each other.

Not always the right stuffing coincides with the external interface. If the screens are purchased separately, they may not fit the size of the external panel, despite the vendors' oaths. There are even interesting cases when the new radio is equipped with a monitor that does not fit at all, since the hole does not correspond to the regular monitor X-Trail T31, and the big screen is not even supposed to be used.

To avoid such problems, it is better to entrust the installation and selection of components to good service providers.   At least you will be able to evaluate not the efforts made, but the result, which is much more urgent.
