This hole is 1 DIN (there is a pocket or glove box in a scientific way) in the car is already there, and there is no problem with installing a radio of the same size. This standard has been adopted for a long time and most automakers comply with it. Device with two devices for assembly. task for the Master. Remove the "glove box" with a flathead screwdriver by pushing on the top and bottom edges of it and pulling it towards you. The latches holding it are visible in the picture on the right. Inserted into the back of the pockets are connectors for the radio, from which the wires go to the speakers and come from the battery. Disconnect them. The lower part of the compartment is usually covered with a decorative cover. Remove it, it won't be useful. The fastening screws are visible on the back wall of this notch. They must be unscrewed.

These designations mean the dimensions of the hole for installing the radio, which correspond to the dimensions of 180x50x160 mm for 1 DIN and 180x100x160 mm for 2 DIN. If you want to install a more modern version of the 2 DIN radio, the car owner will have to carry out the procedure for sawing the partitions of the front console of the car in order to expand the hole for the player. In some cases, in order to fit the dimensions, it becomes necessary to cut out or purchase an appropriate adapter frame for the console, which is much more difficult than mounting 1 DIN.

If, nevertheless, a decision is made to install a 2 DIN standard system, then it is best to entrust its installation to an experienced specialist, otherwise there is a risk of spoiling both the console itself and the car interior trim.

It should also be noted that 2 DIN radios have an extensive range of functions:

Tips for installing a radio in Lada Priora

In order to avoid unforeseen difficulties during the installation of the radio in Lada Priora, it is recommended to use the advice of experienced motorists:

1. Before installing the radio, it is necessary to study the scheme for connecting media devices well. If the player's connectors are connected incorrectly, there is a high probability of failure of some car systems;
2. There are many radio models from different manufacturers. Some of them have individual connectors with an additional adapter included for the ISO standard. This fact should be taken into account when choosing an audio device for Lada Priora, since one of the connection options in this situation will be cutting the wires and directly soldering them to the wiring of the car;
3. When directly connecting the head unit, special terminals can be used;
4. The ISO audio player connection scheme will remain the same when replacing the radio with a new one.

Twisting and wrapping tape should not be used for direct connection of wires. This type of insulation is dangerous when operating the car in winter, since at low temperatures the adhesive-based tape is deformed and destroyed, which will lead to a short circuit in the car's wires.
