Intall an Erisin Android radio

Penfeld · 4th January 2022, 17:08

Hello, and first best wishes for this new year.
I bought a second Rover 75. This is a CDT made in 2021.
Pack luxe.
The actual radio made by Alpina doesn't work. So I bought a new android one made by Erisin.
The problem when I removed the old one I could only find a blue and an white connector.
My Erisin came with two wires one labeled BMW a and BMW b. This radio is said as fully compatible with a rover 75.
What can I do? I don't even found the antenna connector
Thanks for any help.

You might need a BMW to ISO connector, like this

Which one I connect to the white plug, and which one on the blue. Any solution for the antenna?

The Blue and white connectors are not for the stereo, they are for the monitor from the navigation/audio/video system modules in the boot.

The audio loom connects to the main car loom via a 17 pin BMW connector at the back of the centre console, behind the ashtray unit.

A BMW to ISO adapter lead like the one shown in post 2 will help from there, but many only have only 13 cables. The missing ones are the 2 for the steering wheel controls (which can be added) and 1 for the phone mute input.
The aerial lead will need extending from the audio module position in the boot.

Thanks a lot. I will try again to see if I find that connector behind the hashtray.
