To install an Android radio in an Opel Astra, you need a radio with cables, an adapter frame, and a CANBUS unit (essential for maintaining steering wheel controls and automatic ignition). Start by removing the old radio by inserting 4 thin points into the holes of the original radio; disconnect the rear cables.

Remove the climate controls, take off the central trim by unscrewing the two screws at the bottom, and remove the original screen by disconnecting the cables inside. From the new unit, connect the main wiring to the car's original socket.

Connect the CANBUS and route the USB cables to the glove compartment area. Fit the new frame in the upper slot, connect the antennas (GPS, 4G, WI-FI) at the back of the radio.

For the FM antenna, connect the adapter with the amplifier, joining the blue ANT cable to the blue power cable. Secure the radio to the frame with the provided screws, then configure the CANBUS by going to settings/device/select the model of the car/CANBUS setting/set: CANBUS LZ/model Opel/Astra/011 remove screen.

This way, the steering wheel controls will work.
