Sorry for my bad englich i came from Germany.
Can anyone help me
Thanks Torsten

Hi Nexodus,

The answer to your question is yes, you can hear the bluetooth call voice through the speakers. And it works quite well, the mic quality is not great but bearable for the other end. I'm planning adding an Xtrons Mic002 - hopefully that would improve sound quality even further. MY2011, TD4 Auto, Xenon headlights, fog lamps DRLs, sunroof, tinted windows, almond electric seats w/ lumbar support, leather steering wheel w/ audio controls, dog/luggage guard, ambient lights, flush Whispbars, Mantec sump&tank guards, Xtrons Head Unit

Just to report back, I'm very happy with the PB78DLRPL installation. Just added a wifi modem, all works well, sound quality is better than expected.

One gripe though: when starting, unit's volume is always at 12 out of 30, which is very annoying. Did anyone find an easy way to make it start at full volume? MY2011, TD4 Auto, Xenon headlights, fog lamps DRLs, sunroof, tinted windows, almond electric seats w/ lumbar support, leather steering wheel w/ audio controls, dog/luggage guard, ambient lights, flush Whispbars, Mantec sump&tank guards, Xtrons Head Unit

Yes you can change th default volume in settings

Hi Round,

Can you point me to the right setting? I've tried going to the Android settings menu - Sound then Volumes is the entry, move slider to 30 (max), reboot - it's back at 12! Could not find anything else volume related!

Thanks a lot! MY2011, TD4 Auto, Xenon headlights, fog lamps DRLs, sunroof, tinted windows, almond electric seats w/ lumbar support, leather steering wheel w/ audio controls, dog/luggage guard, ambient lights, flush Whispbars, Mantec sump&tank guards, Xtrons Head Unit

Yea it’s not obvious. Took me ages to find it...

Settings
Car
Factory settings (password: 126)
Other tab
Scroll down to Boot default volume
Click on down arrow and select a volume number
Apply
Exit
Unit will reboot.

Hope that helps

You, sir, are a life-saver!

Was just about bracing myself for rooting / custom firmware, the works. Your method worked like a charm, thanks a lot!

The only other thing that I did not get to work is the auto-dim when lights are on. I hope it's simply a matter of wiring the ILLUM wire somewhere - did anyone find a good place to do that? MY2011, TD4 Auto, Xenon headlights, fog lamps DRLs, sunroof, tinted windows, almond electric seats w/ lumbar support, leather steering wheel w/ audio controls, dog/luggage guard, ambient lights, flush Whispbars, Mantec sump&tank guards, Xtrons Head Unit

Thank you @Round for the Volume adjust info.

A question, what can I do with the "Can Bus" connection? what is displayed on the radio?
have anyone connectet it?
Thank you and greeting

Hi all new to the forum needed some advice.

I ordered one of these (second one to be precise had same problem with the first one.

Connected everything up but can’t seem to get any power to the unit and it won’t switch on.

Played with all the connections and everything seems fine just no power.

As mentioned above this is a replacement unit as I thought the first may have been faulty and still no result.

Car is a freelander 2 hst 58 reg.

Thanks in advance.

It powers on with the standard radio. You are thrning stock radio on aren’t you?

@round thanks for the reply!

Could you explain what you mean?

I’ve hooked it up so that one loon goes into the standard radio and into the aftermarket one when I switch on the standard radio it shows 6cd then displays time again however aftermarket one doesn’t seem to power on at all

Right so after hours of faffiing around I have a solution!

For some odd reason the xtrons unit will only power up with the old sat nav unit connected to its looms.

So I’ve connected the old sat along with the xtrons and left it placed in my glovebox.

Could someone advice me if this is normal? Or have I missed something completely?

It didn't affect me cos I didn't have a sat Nav, but I'm sure I e heard other people do the same 👍
