The standard radio for Kalina 2 and Grant has all the necessary functions for a modern car. The audio system works flawlessly, there are no freezes, all operations are performed instantly. The build quality is at a high level. The only disadvantage is the lack of a CD/DVD drive, but nowadays discs are becoming a thing of the past. The standard radio of the Lada Kalina 2 and Granta without an LCD display is a good alternative for those who find physical buttons more convenient than a sensor.
Many motorists who prefer domestic cars were sincerely pleased with the appearance of a new multimedia system in the Lada Granta. A standard radio with a liquid crystal display and many new useful functions began to be installed on the “Lux” package in two versions: 1Din and 2Din. Considering that the presence of such options is still very rare for Russian cars, the richer version of 2Din is of real interest.

About setting up standard radios for Grant, Vesta, Priora, Kalina
Friends, let’s once again briefly go through the most important points in setting up the standard radios of the Lada Grant and Kalina, Vesta, Priora. The most important thing to improve the sound quality of the standard radio is that we need to go to the equalizer menu item and there, in the settings, enable the loudness compensation function. It will use the radio processor and begin to automatically equalize the frequencies of the songs. For even better sound quality, we can adjust the low and high frequencies, as well as the sound balance, to your taste. The sound settings in rickety Lada Priora radios are much simpler and easy to adjust. It is much more important to know that the Bluetooth function is enabled through Navi mode (a2dp) and pressing the call button and then the af key. If the Bluetooth function on the Priora's standard radio requires a PIN code, then you must enter 0000 - this is the default password.

Control your cell phone and view photos
There are no problems viewing photos on the device; you just need to press the required menu button. Slight delays may occur when scrolling through high-resolution images. They have a fairly large volume (over 10 MB), so it takes a few fractions of a second to load them into the radio’s memory. You can view photos downloaded from your cell phone.
All functions related to device management are located in the “Phone” menu item. After your cell phone is connected, configured and saved in memory via Bluetooth, you can control calls using the Granta's standard radio. It is very convenient to use the buttons on the display, which are clearly visible and at hand, instead of using your cell phone on the go.
You can talk by speakerphone or using a Hands free headset. You can also load your phone book into the radio's memory for convenience. In the same way, you can play music that is stored in the device’s memory, controlling the process exclusively using the LCD display. You can simply put your cell phone in a convenient place in the car and not touch it until the very end of the trip.
First impressions
At first glance at the radio, you can say that it fits harmoniously into the interior of the car. There is nothing superfluous that would raise questions from a design point of view. The build quality is pleasing; it is worth noting the smooth, smooth movement of the buttons, the absence of backlash and the plastic of the radio that is pleasant to the touch. The radio backlight is green.
The radio is turned on by pressing a special button in the upper left corner of the radio. Loading occurs within a few seconds, during which the inscription “Lada Kalina” is briefly displayed on the display.

Advice for future and current owners of VAZ push-button radios
The release of standard VAZ “devices”, devoid of an expensive “sensor”, has been expected for a long time. Back in the first half of the year, we were told that such a unit should appear in the fall. As you can see, VAZ was embarrassed to build a graphic display into the radio, and all information on the screen is displayed in standard symbols. The only available backlight color is emerald (there will be more of these colors in crossovers). The device is a “turn on and listen” device, and in standby mode the display displays the time.
The fact that the manufacturer placed the USB port right on the face of the radio is not bad. Now owners have the opportunity to quickly connect a USB drive, or use the standard port as a power source. It will be easy to connect a smartphone or tablet and place it on the dashboard. This is cool! It is recommended to immediately install a short USB flash drive into the USB port to protect it from dust. And it’s also advisable to occupy the port intended for SD cards with something.
All radios produced by Itelma LLC are well aware of a file system such as FAT32. This means that you need to format flash drives in it, onto which audio files in MP3 and WAV format will then be recorded. The signal to the speakers standardly installed in the doors comes without distortion, and the power of the built-in amplifiers is unlikely to seem insufficient to anyone. Enjoy it for your health.
We can state the fact that the new head unit developed by AvtoVAZ turned out to be more than twice cheaper than the touch media center. So, there is no need to succumb to the persuasion of sellers to buy a 7900010-40 radio for 10, 8 or 6 thousand rubles. However, we will leave the choice to the owner.
Video review of the radio
The standard radio for Kalina 2 and Grant has all the necessary functions for a modern car. The audio system works flawlessly, there are no freezes, all operations are performed instantly. The build quality is at a high level. The only disadvantage is the lack of a CD/DVD drive, but nowadays discs are becoming a thing of the past. The standard radio of the Lada Kalina 2 and Granta without an LCD display is a good alternative for those who find physical buttons more convenient than a sensor.

Let us remind you that AvtoVAZ installs radios with an LCD display on the “Lux” configuration.
A few words about the radio of the “normal Kalina-2”
When looking at the “device”, which AvtoVAZ designates with the numbers 2190-7900010-40, it immediately becomes clear that installing such a device in a standard 1DIN compartment will not work. VAZ cars in the “Norma” configuration come from the factory with an empty compartment (its height is 1DIN), and in the “Norma+” radio tape recorder occupies the entire central part of the console. That is, the owner has the following choice: you can install a standard VAZ radio, but then the easy-to-use shelf will disappear, or you can look for and install a unit of standard height. The VAZ radio does not fit into the 1DIN high compartment. There is no touch screen on it, but under the “twist” there is a whole array of plastic buttons.
VAZ push-button radio for Kalina-2
Such a radio, as we see in the photo, can be found in the only configuration of the Kalina Cross. The “device” in question differs from the Granta radio in the presence of a frame with holes. There were rumors about the release of specific units intended only for crossovers, but in the end everything turned out to be simpler - VAZ always ordered radio tape recorders from Itelma, and this tradition was continued. What exactly is offered as part of the “budget” head unit? Let's try to figure it out.
First of all, let's say that the main task of a built-in radio is to play music. To do this, it provides two hardware ports (USB, SD) located on the front panel. Radio stations can be switched using the lower buttons, and the device can also perform the functions of a Bluetooth headset - it’s not for nothing that there are “Receive” and “End End” buttons. The amplifier power is standard, the number of channels is four.
Review of standard luxury radio Lada Granta
The text is based on reviews from car enthusiasts who have a standard luxury radio (2 din) in their Lada Granta. So, Itelm's radio tape recorder runs on WinCE 6.0.0.3. and it takes a couple of seconds to turn it on. Screen . Bright, sensitive, resistive (capacitive ones work very poorly in cold weather, while resistive ones are better in this regard, and are able to work in more difficult conditions, but working with them is not as convenient as with capacitive ones). The picture has ordinary color rendering (there can be no comparison with LED panels), but is quite readable in the sun. A couple of pictures in bright weather:
USB. Supported file systems: FAT16, FAT32. There is a USB button in the radio menu, but there is no connector on the front panel. In fact, there is a USB connector, and it is located on the back of the radio, wrapped in dark foam rubber, and was not wound with other wires. Some dealers deny the presence of USB. By the way, in the glove compartment itself, there is an empty window for the USB connector.SD cards . We tested an 8GB memory card and there were no problems identifying or playing music. The manufacturer warns: The USB and SD connectors are designed for connecting SD cards and USB flash drives. Connecting other devices may damage the radio or the connected device.
Hands free . The standard radio of the Lada Granta even has such a function as pairing with a phone via bluetooth. We managed to connect a couple of phones (android 2.1 and WM 6.5), but you have to wait to load the phone book. In addition, you can play audio via bluetooth. However, it’s difficult to call the work of the phone-radio combination stable, and remembering two phones on the list is a whole epic. Video . Supported format WMV 320*240. We tried to play a video in AVI 720p format, but the car radio couldn't handle it. The picture slows down a lot and lags behind the sound. Thus, to view higher format videos, you will need to use a converter (for example, Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate).
Audio. Supported formats are MP3, WMA and WAV. The sound quality is not bad. The sound is clear, pleasant, without audible cuts in the highs or lows. The screen displays information about the album, artist, and also shows the album cover, if available. There is an equalizer in which you will find several preset “presets” such as Jazz, Rock, Voice, etc.Photo . There is support for viewing photos. Supported formats: JPEG, .JPG, .JPE, .BMP, GIF, .PNG. If a 1MB 800x1397px photo takes 1 second to open, then a 1978x3456px, 7MB photo will load the radio for as much as 9 seconds.
Antenna. The 2 din Granta radio comes complete with an antenna that is mounted on the roof of the car. When listening to FM radio channels, it happens that the sound volume fluctuates, the antenna is to blame. Settings.- General settings (screen saver that only works with the radio, factory reset, language settings, date settings, clock settings).
- Phone settings
- Sound settings
- Display settings
- Photo viewing settings
- Video player settings
- Radio settings
There is no option to connect a rear view camera.
The standard speakers are 13 cm, obviously weak for a luxury radio, so it is recommended to install speakers in the rear doors and replace the existing ones. Installing soundproofing will make the sound in the cabin even clearer.
In conclusion, we can say that you shouldn’t expect much from the Granta luxury radio; it is still far from a full-fledged multimedia system. The slow processor (even though it is declared Dual Core), the meager amount of RAM memory (128MB), the lack of AV output and navigation are upsetting. The positive aspects include a simple and intuitive interface, support for USB and SD memory cards and the ability to play video clips (albeit only in a strictly limited format, but the option itself is quite rare). The good news is that AvtoVAZ has work in this direction, and this means a lot.
Specifications and overview of device functions
We should start with the fact that the manufacturer of the radio with an LCD display is domestic, this is NPP Itelma, Moscow. The company produces and supplies its products (electronics and digital equipment) to the largest automotive enterprises in Russia. Multimedia system MMC 2190, catalog number 2190-7900010-00 for Granta, is an updated device with a new processor and transistor stage. The production of old products with number 2190-7900010 has been discontinued, and it is not possible to buy them. The technical characteristics of the radio are presented in Table 1.
Parameter | CPU | RAM | Inner memory | operating system | Photo formats | Video format | Sound | External media |
Meaning | SiRF Atlas-V AT551 | 128MB | 5341 bytes | Windows CE 6.0 | JPEG,JPG JPE,BMP GIF,PNG | WMV 240×320 px | MP3, WMA, WAV | SD and SDHC (up to 32GB), USB (up to 64GB) |
Note: The kit includes an antenna designed for installation on the roof of a vehicle.
The standard radio has a resistive screen, which, unlike a capacitive screen, works better at low temperatures, although it is inferior in ease of use. The controls are completely touch-sensitive, with the exception of the puck that regulates the sound. The central panel also has buttons for quick mute and mode switching, which is very convenient in various situations. The main menu of the device consists of 6 items:
To tune in and reliably receive FM radio stations, there are 4 playlists; in addition, it is possible to receive signals from radio stations operating in the AM range. This function may seem useless if you are in a city or more or less large settlement.
However, in the periphery, there are not FM transmitting stations everywhere, and signals from AM radio stations are present everywhere and can be listened to. You can tune in to a specific station either manually or automatically.
All these functions can be implemented by clicking on the “Radio” menu button. The antenna for receiving FM signals that comes with the device, according to reviews, has flaws in its design. While driving, the sound volume fluctuates when listening to the radio, so some car enthusiasts purchase an additional antenna.
You can watch the video on the radio of your Lada Granta car by pressing the corresponding menu button. The device plays the most popular AVI video file format with great difficulty and the picture lags behind the voice acting. This is due to the small amount of RAM and insufficient processor performance. However, if you use a desktop computer and a converter, the film can be converted to WMV 320x240 format (Windows Media Player) and watched in a car with fairly decent quality.
Installing a radio in a Lada Granta with your own hands. Advice from the experts
Since the beginning of 2011, all Lada Granta models have been manufactured with audio preparation: factory radios and receivers. The quality of reception and sound is not always at the highest level due to its cheapness and simplicity. When purchasing a Lada Grant from the showroom, the owner receives audio preparation, acoustic wires, and installed electrical wiring.
The door panels have already prepared openings for installing speakers. True, few people use the standard seat, as they prefer the rear shelf to improve the sound.

Choosing the right radio size
We carry out installation either independently or by contacting specialists at the service center. In the second case, the service is paid.
By default, all VAZ and Lada models are equipped with a 1-DIN radio. The opening dimensions correspond to: 180 x 50 mm. This is an old standardization that has been in force since the times of the USSR. Modern audio modules can be purchased complete with a pre-installed LCD display. The size of the opening must comply with the standard: 180 x 100 mm, that is, doubled in height. Size marking: 2-DIN.
To install the radio in the Granta liftback, cut out the top pocket, remove the plastic, and install the assembled module. For a beginner, the process will seem somewhat complicated, so strictly follow the instructions.

The pinout of the Sony radio involves the correct installation, connection and configuration of the car audio device. When performing such work, you must follow some rules, otherwise the tape recorder will not function correctly.
How to connect a Lada Granta head unit with a 1-DIN connector
- We carry out the work inside the car, having previously disconnected the terminals from the battery in order to prevent a short circuit in the circuit;
- We remove the plastic partition - pocket. It covers the hole, preventing objects from falling inside the torpedo. We use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the bolts;
- Two ISO plugs are visible behind the partition body. These types of wire terminals are manufactured in accordance with international automotive standards. More than 98% of all automakers use the standard when equipping technical equipment;
- We remove the metal frame - the block - from the body of the audio unit and place it in the cavity of the torpedo.
- We first connect the blocks with wires. Fitting into the connectors is accompanied by a characteristic click;
- We insert the module into the metal frame.
Note to the driver. Incorrect terminal connections result in a short circuit. To ensure the safety of the connection process, the connectors have guides that allow you to install the block in only one position.
Connection components
To connect the car radio, several types of parts are used.
Connectors
An important part of the audio device connection diagram are the connectors. The following types of connectors exist:
- Individual. The use of such connectors requires the use of an ISO adapter or cut wire. It is not advisable to connect cables in this way. This may lead to interruptions in the operation of the radio or equipment failure. Experts recommend using heat-shrinkable tubes and other safety measures.
- Standard. The ISO connectors are easy to use. If your Sony audio device is equipped with standard connectors, the connection does not take much time.
Wires
Correct connection of the positive cable plays an important role in installing the car radio. A fuse is used when connecting the device to the battery. When choosing parts, you need to take into account the diameter of the wires, which must correspond to the size of the head unit connector. To increase the efficiency of the battery, the connection is carried out taking into account the following nuances:
- the black cable coming from the battery is ground;
- the yellow wire is considered positive;
- the red cable is responsible for transmitting a signal to the head unit when the key is turned in the ignition;
- The blue wire is connected to the antenna or additional devices.
According to the user manual, the pinout for the Sony car radio is as follows:
- The yellow power cable is used as a plus. This part of the system is responsible for powering the control unit.
- The red wire is connected through the ignition switch. This cable is responsible for turning off the head unit when the engine stops running.
Some car owners twist the positive wires and connect them to the on-board network. You can't do that. In this case, the radio operates regardless of the state of the engine, which leads to rapid battery discharge. If the equipment is connected to domestic cars, the red wire can be connected to pin 5 of the BSK block. When you select this circuit, the audio device will only work when the engine is on.
Common mistakes when installing a standard Granta liftback radio with your own hands
- when connecting additional terminals, manual twisting of wires is used instead of classical soldering;
- regular insulating tape is used on connections instead of heat-resistant sleeves;
- Incorrect connection of a large number of speakers on one branch leads to overload, heating, and short circuit.
Installing a sound amplifier
By liftback radio amplifier we mean:
- crossover installation;
- subwoofer installation.
The choice is up to the owner of the Lada Grant, as different goals are pursued: cleanliness, sound quality. Obviously, the cost of equipment will also increase. Crossovers are installed in the cavity of the glove box, since their dimensions do not exceed 100 x 150 mm and are rectangular in shape. Subwoofers are fixed in the luggage compartment. Equipment requires more space.
Connection of an external device is carried out strictly in accordance with the operating instructions:
- brown wire color: responsible for the operation of the system;
- black: power supply to equipment;
- yellow: audio module activation;
- red: settings and programming.
At the very end, do not forget to connect a red wire with a pre-installed fuse to the positive terminal of the battery. It directly connects the amplifier (subwoofer) to the current source.
Installing two speakers in the front doors
- dismantle the door card, handle, control unit;
- We compare the standard cutouts for the speakers with the actual dimensions. If necessary, expand with a file or fine sandpaper. It is strictly forbidden to use cutting objects, as there is a high risk of damage to the plastic of the door card;
- we check for the absence of roughness in the hole, install the speaker, fix it, connect the standard terminals with wiring;
- we check the operation of the speaker, install the door card, and fix the metal grille to protect the speaker from mechanical damage.
High pass filter
Next we find the HPF (High-passFilter) item. This is a high-pass filter that cuts the frequency of the sound supplied to the speakers below their specified limit value. This is done because it is very difficult for standard speakers (13–16 cm) to reproduce low frequencies due to their small diaphragm diameter and low power. As a result, the sound is reproduced with distortion even at low volumes. By cutting the low frequencies, you can get clear sound over a larger volume range.
If you do not have a subwoofer, we recommend installing an HPF filter at a frequency of 50 or 63 Hz.
You can then exit the menu using the return button and check the result. It is better to do this at a volume of 30.
If the sound quality is not satisfactory, or if you are outdoors and want to have a loud disco, you can raise the lower limit from 80–120 Hz or more. It is recommended to use the same level of boundary cut if you have a subwoofer. These measures will allow you to increase the purity and volume of the reproduced sound.
Characteristics of the standard radio "Lada Grants Liftback"
The radio for the Lada Granta liftback is supplied as standard equipment. Product in 2-DIM format (100 x 180 mm).
In addition to the classic radio, there is a built-in card reader, Bluetooth, and a USB output for connecting flash drives. The only disadvantage of the audio module is that it is a push-button type. Which is not to the liking of many car enthusiasts, which is why they install more modern modifications.
During the startup of the audio module, a greeting from Lada Kalina 2 is displayed. This is not an error, as many owners think. This type of audio was originally developed for the Lada Kalina 2. Obviously, the manufacturer did not change anything and started production for the Granta. Installation/disassembly of the module is somewhat complicated due to the tight fit, so be prepared for this.
It is based on the Windows operating system, which allows you to connect to the World Wide Web via a 3G modem. There is no such option out of the box; you first need to reflash the device, but more on that later.
Via Bluetooth, it is possible to connect to a phone, and the “hands-free” option is activated. Which is very convenient and practical when driving. The owners were also pleased with the stock radio. At first glance it looks simple, but it turns out not to be so. Available programming function for a specific channel on a given topic.
For example, as soon as a news broadcast comes on, the radio automatically switches to the programmed channel. The audio module reads the following formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, WMV. Control of the standard radio of the Lada Granta liftback is accessible and intuitive, even for an inexperienced owner.
Other features of standard multimedia
The general feelings of owners who have a standard radio in their car are positive. The display is informative and easy to read. The touch keyboard functions flawlessly. The standard radio itself is capable of high-quality reproduction of sound programs from micro-SD cards. However, using USB format media can be challenging.
The device also has some nice options:
- equalizer;
- activated replay mode;
- random sequence of playing tracks (“Random”).
Multimedia LADA Granta is capable of supporting images in 5 formats, which allows you to view photos without any problems. But not everyone can make the correct settings for the “phone” option on the first try. This function will be convenient for a busy owner who is forced to communicate by telephone even while on the road.
How to flash the firmware
- Buy an SD card, format it in FAT, exFAT format;
- We download the firmware for free on the manufacturer’s official website;
- We save the data in the root directory of the SD card;
- We insert the SD card into the slot on the radio, start it, wait for the update to finish;
- Turn on and off the module;
- We customize the new interface for ourselves.
If the firmware is installed incorrectly, additional screen calibration using the CAN bus will be required. It is impossible to do this yourself, only in a service station. After successful flashing, the following is available:
- graphic equalizer;
- viewing photos, pictures, videos;
- improved sound quality;
- possibility of installing a navigation system.
Disadvantages of a standard radio
- Outdated firmware from the “box”;
- Not all options are initially available;
- The need for periodic software updates;
- Push-button interface.

Briefly state the essence of the problem (if possible, attach screenshots) and what actions were taken.
Before you do, use the wall search; most likely, your problem has already been addressed before. Actions of the administration are not discussed = ban.
The firmware is a build of Windows CE with built-in add-ons and a standard shell. The firmware consists of 4 files: Chain.bin is the firmware header file, there are no files there, only offsets needed by the bootloader. chain.lst - a list of firmware files, needed for the bootloader so that it knows what to flash. NK.bin - archive of main files. TINYNK.bin is a very important file, it contains firewood for the flash memory of the SD card, the registry and the main files needed to start the box before Windows boots.

Firmware MMC Grant 2190: instructions with step-by-step description
The MMS Grant firmware makes it possible not only to expand the functionality of the system itself, but also the ability to connect a rear view camera to the standard multimedia.
It is worth noting that the presence of a standard or normative standard multimedia system pre-installed by the manufacturer is not suitable for performing a number of actions that will be described below. The exclusively multimedia system in the luxury configuration is suitable for firmware.
The process of flashing the multimedia system requires the presence of a GPS receiver, namely the Globalsat BU-353S4 model, as well as a Huawei E1750 3G modem from Megafon. These devices, paired with new software, will allow you to use the navigation that VAZ engineers promised, and will also delight you with the presence of the Internet in the car. All these products can be bought on eBay, and cheaper than in other stores.
Navigation and the Internet are not yet compatible things for a domestic car, so for their full and simultaneous operation it is necessary to use a hub (USB splitter DNS ATH-08).
That's actually the whole process of preparing for the firmware!
After the firmware on the MMS Lada Granta is completed, a new desktop will appear, and in particular the Wince desktop. It is those four files that were copied separately to the root directory of the SD card that are responsible for displaying the interface of this desktop.
The next step is to configure the new software on the standard multimedia Lada Granta. To do this, you need to click the Start button, and then proceed based on this path: StartSettingControl Panel.
In some cases, at this stage, delays were noticed in opening the control panel, which disappeared after a forced reboot of the mms.
In the panel that opens, click on the Stylus/Calibration icon. Thus, the user of the new software is given the opportunity to calibrate the response accuracy of the touch display.
This procedure is best carried out using a stylus. At the end of calibration, a timer will appear on the monitor; without waiting for the countdown to complete, you must click on the screen.
Now the time has come for the forced reboot mentioned above. Long pressing the volume key (at least 10 seconds) will force the mms to reboot. At the time of reboot, the removable media with the new software must remain in MMS Lada Granta.
After the reboot, the standard menu will be displayed, followed by the altmenu, as it was in the process of preparing for the firmware procedure. You can get to the standard menu by pressing the “standard” key.
The reboot must take place with the Globalsat BU-353S4 GPS receiver connected via the DNS ATH-08 USB splitter. If it is not connected, after the software reboot is complete, the standard menu will load.
User settings, and in particular radio, sound and video settings, are an integral part of any multimedia system. NewMenu V7.391Nitro requires manual installation of the module for setting these parameters, and for this you need:
• Go to the soft/radio folder; • Run the start.exe file.
This procedure will allow you to associate the files located there, namely files with extensions like .exe and .ahk. This step in setting up the firmware MMS is very important for achieving stable operation with multimedia files, as well as setting the equalizer when listening to the radio.
Direct firmware mms 2190 grant
The firmware process is quite simple! All you need is an SD card. Note! The SD card must be formatted in FAT16. A common problem after flashing the firmware is the Lada logo freezing on the monitor of the standard multimedia system. This problem may occur as a result of:
• Failure to comply with the parameters of the required formatting system; • Old SD card model, different from SDHC.
If a problem of this kind arises, then it is necessary to check compliance with the above two points of the procedure for flashing multimedia firmware on the Lada Granta.
After the flash drive is formatted and the new software has been decided, for example, NewMenu V7.391Nitro, you need to download the new firmware NewMenu V7.391Nitro and unpack it directly onto the SD card itself.
As for the FirmWare folder, the files located in it must be moved to the root of the SD card. The root of the SD card implies placement of files in addition to other moved folders.
The copying process is complete, which means it’s time to remove the flash drive from the computer. It is worth noting the need for mandatory safe removal, which has long been known to all PC users.
An SD card with files placed on it must be inserted into the mms. After the removable media is inserted into the mms, it must be turned on. After waiting for the device to fully boot, long pressing the volume key will reboot it.
The reboot takes place in four stages, which is shown in the example of four boot lines, upon completion of which, MMS will start in normal mode (standard display menu). Just a few seconds after the standard menu, the radio will go to the altmenu.
Note! If any device is connected to the USB radio, the altmenu will not start. After removing the device, the radio must be rebooted again.
The advantage of using the ATH-08 DNS USB splitter, which was mentioned at the beginning of the article, is multi-polarity. A GPS receiver and other USB devices connected to the hub will not interfere with the launch of the altmenu, but will become inactive.
