Moderators PTR200S Posted May 26, 2018 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Decided to have a go at the dash / sat radio change this morning, having spent several hours on cleaning every panel on the car I needed a change.? So off with the bits ! "A" pillar covers first, which allows the wood dash to come out and take out the lower speedo housing...sitting on top the dash in pic. Once its all off it should look like this !! ooh err, what have I done ! On with fitting the new cage for the sat nav thingy. The two connections in the lower of the pic are the ONLY connections to the wood facia that runs all the way across the dash !! Then reassemble, in the reverse order ! with a bit of luck it should look like this with just the front facia to sort out... but guess what, missing a bit of face plate !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick option for the importers was to put an expander on for the radio.... not a great idea but better than nothing. The problem of changing the sat nav / head unit over is that it needs new dash bits or certainly a bit of hacking around of the original to incorporate a new unit. My importer sourced a head unit, just generic stuff off the net but imported, from Japan, the alternate dash parts to build it into the dash unit. He didn't do the job completely as I needed the van "yesterday" 🙃 so he sent them along later and I did the install... he did the wiring initially which saved some time. It has Radio, CD, Sat nav, phone connectivity, rear camera, aux, remote control, etc..., the downside is that the dash controls, joystick etc cannot be used so are now redundant but they looked like a faff to use anyway... now its all on the unit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The units are about 100 quid i think, the cage, new dash trim, dash top cover etc i will need to see if importer can tell me. As mine was supplied as part of my import deal i don't know off hand. I do know he bought a few kits as he has supplied other Elysion owners that i have pointed in his direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted February 7, 2019 Author Moderators Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's 5.30am, thereabouts, so if what I say doesn't make sense i will correct it later today ! 😬 when i get back from work! The importer has come back to me to say there are no more kits of dash parts available for the type of conversion like the one done on my van. Honda have discontinued them, don't forget this version of the van was discontinued in 2012. It maybe that some of the parts are available are still in some dusty stores somewhere else in the world but don't hold your breath !!!! However, the importer tells me that someone else has found an alternative conversion utilising the existing dash....he thinks.. he is meeting up with them next week to check it out. Edit, asked him for part nos to check if any bits exist anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted February 7, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Is that a CD multichanger as well Pete or a single shot jobby? Have to say, i didn't realise it was such an in-depth job just changing the head unit (ok i know it's slightly more than that) on the Elysion! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just a one shot version.... but it does have entry points for SD cards or sticks too.... plus the sat nav has its own sd card update thingy whatsit !😜 The problem for change is that the Jap unit is a big fu... err, thing.. with an integral surround... This means you need to change to a "euro" standard type thingy !! and therefore need the new cage, surrounds etc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Could you please tell me how to get in touch with the person who done the wiring at least? Thank you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 6, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Just a "side-note" Chinese Android isn't always compatible with the rest of the worlds Android, owned by Google and seeing as Google recently fell out with Huawei and won't support their phones anymore, it might be a blessing in disguise and just leap-frogged you to the same situation when the current crop of Android devices get to the point where they need updating and Google will no doubt update everyone elses but put some code in so the others can't use the updated apps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, it didn't get what others had before the news. Someone said to me a week ago "there are other search engines" - they didn't seem to get the fact Google own Android and its system so if they don't support a phone, it ain't gonna work! I suppose China will come out with the "y-Phone" and "y-OS" and have "y-Pads" and "y-Pods" etc sometime soon and Steve Jobs will have a hissy fit and sue the noodles off them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijomaru Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 @PTR200SDid you install this after taking out the standard japanese sat nav? I saw the russian supplied Android kit but I'd rather fit something that comes with Apple Car play out of the box. Quite a few Sony, JVC, Meanwood etc 2-din kits at Halfords. Wondering if I can install it instead of the original sat nav or would I need this surround to fit the aftermarket 2-din unit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 3, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Not sure that Russian kit is doing all it apparently it says it can do...the instructions are interesting!!! It may well be a Chinese unit they are selling for the Russian markets and may not be Europe compatible.?.some of the guys on the faceache group are trying it out so maybe more info soon. The 2 din kits may well be OK but you need to get the housing to suit...surrounds may be a problem.... do the kits specify the Elysion or just 2 din generic kits ..? I presume the unit you are looking at has all the requirements , radio, cd etc, plus sat nav and rear camera facility? You may need to source a step down as the camera is an 8 volt unit...probably easier to install new rear camera unit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijomaru Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Apple Carplay is pretty much all I will need as that will give me navigation and Spotify plus DAB etc. Some units have 2 video inputs so I assume it would even be possible to feed the front bumper cameras too. I'm not sure I understand the need for voltage step down here. The signal from the camera(s) arrives on a yellow RCA cable, right? Are there under voltage and need to be reduced? The chinese/russian unit is running Android and I saw a few videos of those and it does not instill be with confidence in terms of its speed. I don't want something laggy of unknown origins for a £150. I'd rather spend £200 on a branded kit. Plus, with the surround from your photos it puts it a bit closer to the driver, which is nice. Touch screen where the original sat-nav is, is a little to far. Can you just clarify that you had the original sat-nav, you ripped it out, added the additional surround and then the unit went in? The units I am looking at are generic 2-din units. Some are full 2-din in the back as well as the screen, some only have a 2-din screen with a reduced in size backs. To be completely honest, I am looking at the options available and the cost implications. If I am to spent £500 and potentially damaging the dash to get a little bit convenience, I may just use a phone holder for navi and bluetooth to RCA adapter like I have now, and live with it, while only using the built in sat-nav for front and rear cameras. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 3, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 The old sat nav is the one shown in the last 7th February entry above, the replacement was sourced by the importer along with the new surround but these surrounds are unavailable now...I posted the part numbers up the thread , might be worth trying a search again just in case. As the unit is nearer the driver you also need the new cage to fit the new unit into, the covers fit to suit. If you can find the cage and covers then in theory you can fit the correct size sat nav to it, if I recall it takes 7.5 inch unit, so anything from 6.5 inch up would probably go. Cameras, the early units had " transformer " as I understand it , rated at 8 volts.... mine , Honda unit, is discon and a new camera setup installed. Can't help with the yellow feed info, perhaps Stu may know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
