If your Vivaro from 2011 looks like the picture below with its factory radio fitted, and you want to upgrade to an Android headunit, then we have the answer.
android Headunit Tip
The Vauxhall Vivaro X83 platform is shared with the Nissan Primastar J4 and the Renault Trafic 2 (El,Fl,JL) produced from around 2010. The same parts are used for all these vehicles and the process is the same.
Aftermarket parts can convert the space in the Vivaro/Primastar/Trafic2 to a double din with a hole for the clock/display. This leaves an ideal space to fit a 7″ screen 2 DIN android headunit like well received and super quick booting Pumpkin.
ISO Connectors make it easy
The pumpkin has ISO connectors, so using the plug-and-play adaptor to convert the Vauxhall factory to fit the pumpkin is trivial. You may find that you have ISO connectors on the Vauxhall wiring, and the job was much more straightforward. Making the electrical connectors ‘plug and play’ saves a lot of time because the time will be spent fitting the fascia converter.
Adaptor required
You will need one of these Vivaro double din adaptors, pictured below, that has a space for the display, but if yours has no display, use the blanking plate supplied. A slight modification with a junior hacksaw will upgrade the Vivaro single din to an Android headunit-shaped double din hole.
The electrical connections are covered by a straight ISO (Vauxhall) to ISO (Pumpkin) or an adaptor. It is best to remove your factory-fitted radio to investigate its connectors so you can have the right one ready for you, should you need one.
