Same problem here, struggled the whole day getting the Xtrons working, I needed to use the black interconnecting loom as the grey connectors do not fit on my original connectors. What I found strange is that the gray loom has a split for AUX using red and white RCA connector and the black loom has nothing to redirect the AUX, big question for the moment. If anybody has an solution, otherwise I'm going to cut up looms tomorrow Also still searching for a reverse switch connection to activate the reverse cam. All ideas are welcome |

Did you fix the audio on this? I have the same wiring loom with the black connectors, and there seems no obvious way to get the Aux connection running. Cheers. |

I ended up cutting down the looms and soldering new connectors, strange as it should have been a fit to a Freelander as it is a designated kit. At the end I'm not very happy with the Xtron and original audio system combo, if I would do it new, I would exchange the original audio by a double din unit. I think today there are better options than the Xtron which is, to my opinion not a very state of the art system anymore. |

Has anybody had any experience with the newer IA72DLRLS unit from Xtrons?

I installed the PQS70DLRL version, but encountered similar issues.It turned out that connecting the audio output from the Xtron to the AUX input of the LR stereo was necessary. To resolve them, I decided to resolder the connections to ensure functionality.

I know the Xtrons sends audio to the factory HU via the AUX socket. Normally you'll need to tap into that at the actual socket, or the harness at the back of the HU. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Has anyone come up with a quality replacement for the sat nav screen as mine is hopelessly out of date and the radio isnt much better. Fm works not to bad but the DAB side is almost unusable. |

Yes, I installed this version. It works fine, the only thing I haven't been able to get to work is the auto dimming, but I've just left that for now. For the audio, from what I recall, the loom connecting to the head unit and the loom connecting to the xtrons both have cables marked "aux out". These get connected together. It is best to test it in place before putting everything back together properly. As for the screw holes, the top brackets should be fine and get attached first. The bottom ones might be be a little tricky and sometimes you need to make adjustments with washers. The right hand screw hole on mine has a little washer underneath it to improve the screen alignment with the hole where the cubby was. |

You mean the mapping is out of date? Or the GUI is a bit clunky? My NAV is usable with a 2021 disc installed in the drive. As the audio system is basically integrated into the vehicle data busses, replacement isn't at all easy. My DAB isn't great, but that's not the vehicle, it's the DAB network that's rubbish. FM should be OK, especially if it has the diversity receivers installed. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

There's no reason why you can't use an xtrons as far as I know. If you have the sat nav screen, you will need a fibre optic loop connector to fix the break in the loop when you remove the screen. The xtrons delivers audio via the aux setting on the radio. You will lose the aux port but you can run a new connector into the glove box if you actually use it. I don't use the radio, but you do need to add an antenna if you want to use it from the xtrons I think. I think mine came with a receiver but I'm not sure if all do. |
