My girlfriend has wanted birthday an alternative to the dreary radio reception. The existing AUX connection was there not an argument, because this always a second unit needs to run active, whether an MP3 player or smartphone.
So said USB adapter plus the necessary for installation Radioentriegelungshebel ordered and off you go. Shipping as always fast.
The installation was relatively simple:
- Insert the release lever on the radio
- Pull out Radio
- Pull out connector (lever Around)
- Supplied plug into the radio plug (lever Around)
- Radio plug in the connector of the supplied cable plug (lever Around)
Plug in the cable for the actual adapter -
- Cable for laying (preferably through the opening right into the footwell and from there into the glove compartment which can be solved by four screws For this you need a Torx bit, T10 I think.)
Pull air panel under the radio gently but firmly -
- Now store the entire harness carefully behind and thereby pushing the radio in again
- Reinschieben Air bezel
- Cable into the adapter and cover letter
- Insert the USB stick, turn on radio, press media
Lo and behold, it worked right away.
The joy was short lived because the next morning the adapter already verbindete no longer automatically with the radio. The following days brought no success. The problem could only be solved by stuck on and off every day to plug the adapter.
So the whole game again. All developed and sent back. We gave the product a second chance and ordered despite poor ratings and reviews in which the same issue was already also described again.
Everything reinstalled and hurray: It has been running for 5 days with no problems. Also ID3 Tag is detected incidentally.
However, the rate of technical defects is clearly too high (see other reviews). There is an urgent need for action.
Addendum: The second unit went out after 6 days and had to connect only by switching off and plug it, and every day ....
I recommend it to anyone. I try now times from the more expensive competitor.
