Factory one’s screen is only used for showing something,while this one’s screen is

touch screen that you can also operate on it with your hand or touch screen pen. A

lot of people have the idea to install a dvd gps for his Opel Astra to catch up with

society trend and enjoy themselves better during driving at the same time.And this

Before you begin radio installation,you need to mind a series of things to make

your work more smooth.

 

Precautions about installation:

1.Please remember to turn off your radio and other equipment,and make negative

battery cable

disconnected to avoid unnecessary damage to people

2.In addition,when you are doing removal affairs,please place original CD player

and removed screws in safe places to ensure that you can find needed things after

you have installed unit in at later time

 

Next we will talk about how to remove factory radio and install Opel Astra DVD GPS system.It’s usual for you to find some difference between your car radio

appearance with the following one,don’t worry and you can take it as reference

because stereos for a series of cars are substantially uniform.

11.After above work has been done, turn on your new radio and check

if it’s installed right and whether functions can operate

 

If you need to know more information about new radio, I suggest you

to make enough preparations for both installation and the unit,you’d

better seek some information from the Internet,for example:

http://www.seicane.com/oem-aftermarket-car-radio-upgrade-sat

-navi-system-for-opel-astra-with-fm-am-3g-wifi-3-zone-pop-built

-in-gps-dvd-bluetooth-ipod-rearview-c072, which will help you get a lot

of detailed messages include images,module and so on.

 

In fact this kind of installation is a little more complex than other ones on

connecting cables,but I haveconfidence that most of you will make it clear

with the help of above 12 specific steps and clear images.

 

If your beloved car belongs to 2010 2011 Renault Megane,we hope that most system of it can

be corresponding well advanced.This is a normal psychology and today I will show you

detailed and easy installation steps for 2010 2011 Renault Megane navigation audio

system with BT music AUX-in to help you achieve audio part of the car.

A lot of people are updating their car stereos to enjoy more entertaining life,and it’s

achieved by driving car with a multimedia dvd diaplay.Compared with factory stereo,a new

radio has increased new functions in it to make our driving time more enjoyable and make

us feel easy,I think this is one object of its production.

The aftermarket radio stereo for Renault Megane is different from some other autoradios,for

its touch screen is placed farther than normal ones with occluders surround it.You needn’t

to worry that it’s not convenient for you to watch the screen,however it can not only let you

see clearer on shinning days,but also protect your screen from damage or collision,which will

surely length its lifetime.This is an advantage and if you have doubts here is a picture to help

you get a intuitive feeling:DVD gps navigation system bluetooth of 2010 2011 Renault

Megane.

It’s not enough to you to make well understanding of Renault Megane navigation system with

this picture,,then I advice you to seek for more messages about it from the Internet,for example:
