The Lada Largus model is a joint brainchild of the designers AvtoVAZ and Renault-Nissan. Its design is based on the popular universal public car Dacia Logan MCV. When creating this car, the main focus was on the category of practical and family car enthusiasts, because the set of technical and operational features of the model fully correspond to its image.
The basic version of the equipment of the Lada Largus implies the presence of a standard radio, which the Korean company Daewoo kindly shared with Tolyatti residents. However, sometimes the firmware of the radio is required. In addition to the head unit, the developers addressed 4 loudspeakers located around the perimeter of the interior space, or rather in the door panels. Owners notice that this device fits harmoniously into the interior and has quite simple and convenient functionality. All controls and buttons are intuitive and do not cause “stupor” even for “wild” drivers. The high-quality fit of all components of the audio complex is also noted, since during operation it was not possible to find any backlashes or squeaks in the buttons.
To study in detail the full range of functions of this radio and how to control them, you should watch this informative and useful video:
Note that the consumer radio kit includes convenient instructions, which are designed to provide a quick acquaintance with the device and its functionality. In this article we will tell you how to unlock the Largus head unit.
Functions of the standard Largus audio radio
The audio device that is present in the Lada Largus allows the owner to acquire such useful options as:
- search and memorize radio stations broadcasting in the traditional FM or AM bands;
- the ability to display the names of tuned stations with a convenient “RDS” function;
- playback of audio programs recorded in the following formats: “MP3” and “WMA”, as well as “AAC” and “WAV”;
- connecting external sources to the head unit for the purpose of subsequent playback of information programs through standard speakers (for this, the radio has “USB” and “Jack” connectors, as well as a “Bluetooth” option;
- switching with the “Hands Free” wireless kit, which allows telephone communication with subscribers while driving.
Also, we should not forget about the presence of a security coding function in the radio, which allows you to increase the degree of protection of the device from theft attempts.
Instructions
Usually a user manual is included with the radio. There are detailed characteristics of how it is used, what to press and when, and most importantly, why.
According to the diagram in the instructions, two versions of the radio are indicated:
There is nothing complicated about the first category, it’s just the name that is incomprehensible. These two versions differ only in different buttons and what is written on them. The most useful and practical feature is the ability to pair with some wireless devices via Bluetooth, such as connecting to a mobile phone. In this case, the standard radio on the Lada Largus will provide you with the opportunity to talk on the phone even without using your hands, thereby not violating traffic rules. If you think that you will have to talk very loudly or shout so that the interlocutor can hear clearly, then nothing like that. A normal tone of voice will be sufficient.
Coding of the original car radio
The standard Lada Largus device contains a set of protection functions that allow you to block attempts to turn on in cases where:
- the power supply from the on-board network (battery) is disconnected;
- the fuse-link protecting the device burns out;
- The radio is directly disconnected from the local power supply.
To be able to turn on a locked radio, you will need to enter a special four-digit code key. This code for the radio may be present in the service documentation attached to the device itself or simply be communicated to the owner at the time of purchase in the showroom.
Note that the code for the radio is entered using the keyboard, which is located on the front panel of the device.

Firmware for Lada Largus radio
It was already mentioned a little higher that sometimes the radio needs new firmware. Why is it needed - you tell me. It's simple, at the factory setting our standard Lada Largus radio sometimes displays fonts clumsily, especially Cyrillic. Otherwise, she writes everything humanly, but in some options there are only hieroglyphs. This is where you will need to install updated firmware. How to make it? At one's own risk. If something goes wrong, all you have to do is remove and throw away the non-working device. It’s better to find out everything right away and find out before installing the firmware.
If the radio is still under warranty, flashing the firmware will void the warranty. In this case, why not remove it and take it to a service center and do everything wisely, without the risk of losing even those functions that already work well. Self-installation will also require certain skills. First you need to find out everything, find and download the firmware onto a flash drive. The installation will take place with the radio in place by pressing certain keys. The procedure itself will last several minutes. If everything works out and the installation finishes correctly, you will know about it right away.
The Lada Largus is one of the few domestic cars equipped with a standard radio. Lada Largus comes with audio preparation and a radio tape recorder already from the factory. It is about the scheme implemented on the Lada Largus car that we will talk in this article.
It is worth noting that in accordance with modern standards, the Lada Largus car has two plugs connected to the radio. Unfortunately, these plugs do not comply with the ISO standard.
That is, if you replace the standard radio, you will most likely have to buy an adapter for the radio. Plugs on Lada Largus are used as for Renault cars. It is worth saying that you can connect a joystick to the standard radio for control from the steering wheel; for this, there is a connector on the back of the radio. The question now remains where to get the joystick? You can learn more about the standards for connecting a radio in the article “Connecting a radio in a car with your own hands.” So, one of the plugs is used to connect power to the radio. Second, for connecting 4 speakers (2 front and 2 rear)
Enter the code. Step-by-step instruction
How to enter the code step by step. The input process itself involves following this sequence of manipulations.
- We turn on the Lada Largus radio by pressing the “1” button in the keyboard field. In this case, an inscription appears in the form of “CODE” with the numeric dial “0000”. The first digit character will be in flashing mode.
- Now, by pressing the “1” button, we achieve the first digit to appear on the display.
- Entering the next digits in the code line is carried out in a similar way. However, this will require pressing the keyboard buttons corresponding to the serial number of the code digit (“2”, “3” and “4”).
- Once you have completed entering all four code characters, you will need to press and then hold the “6” button, also located in the keyboard field.
- Immediate unlocking of the radio will indicate that the code on the radio has been entered correctly.
Important! When the radio code is entered incorrectly, a message in the form of “CODE ERROR... WAIT” is displayed on the screen, after which a 2-minute time delay will be required. Then you can start re-entering.
Each subsequent input attempt, if it turns out to be incorrect, requires a shutter speed twice the previous time interval, etc.
Secret menu of the Lada Largus audio system
You may know that on the Lada Largus, which is produced, the standard installed radio looks exactly the same as on the Duster and Sandero models from Renault - after all, they are also assembled in Russia. True, on Largus the radio tape recorder is installed only in the “standard” and “luxury” trim levels.
The product itself is quite good, and, despite its somewhat proletarian appearance, it is well assembled, nothing loose or sticks in it. Reproduction of sound and music is at a quite decent level, “buns” in the form of mp3, Bluetooth, ID3tag (Russian file names), Hands free, RDS are also present.
On the front panel of the radio on the left there is a SET button, which is responsible for using individual user settings. However, this key also has a number of undocumented functions. So, if you press this button and hold it for at least six seconds, you can get to a secret menu with additional settings. As already mentioned, there is not a word about this in the user manual.
After entering this menu, three new items will open: “Diagnostics”, “Radio Monitor” and “Device Configuration”:
You can move up and down items in this menu using the rotary knob on the right. Confirm your choice by pressing the same right handle.
If you need to return to the previous menu item at any level, you can press the “Back” button (it is located to the left of the right “spin”, which you control by moving the cursor around the menu).
When you select the “Radio Monitor” item, you can view the frequency of the radio signal of the received station, as well as a number of other parameters.
By selecting the “Diagnostics” menu item, a new submenu opens before us with the lines “Monitor”, “Errors” and “Autotest”.
The “Errors” submenu is designed to notify the driver about on-board computer errors occurring in the system. If everything is in order with the machine, when you enter this submenu the screen will be blank (therefore, there will be no errors).
By going to the “Autotest” menu, you will receive information about the status of the current equipment (if “OK” is visible in the line with the equipment, therefore, the equipment written in the line is working as expected:
Thanks for subscribing!
- FM,AM Ant OK (Pas). Operation of the radio module (FM and AM range).
- MICROPHONE OK. Microphone operation.
- SPEAKERS OK. Is there sound coming from the speakers?
- BT MODULE OK. Is the Bluetooth module working?
- CD OK. The mechanical part of the CD player is in good working order.
- FASIA BUTTON OK. Normal operation of car radio keys.
- POWER IC OK. Operation of the on/off button.
If you go back and select the line called “Monitor”, the display will display basic information about the vehicle parameters.
This includes data on the network status, the status of the car's backlight (you can check the operation of this function by turning off or on the side lights of the car - the backlight status will change in real time to ON/OFF), battery voltage, USB device connection status , as well as about automatically decreasing/increasing the sound volume when the car speed decreases/increases (if the car has the appropriate wire for this function to work correctly).
In general, we dare to note that the undocumented menu of the Lada Largus car is really an excellent addition to the standard functionality of the audio system - we hope that it will not be difficult for you to understand its operation and the operating features of certain functions in more detail.
How to decode the head unit
The procedure involves determining the radio code, entering which allows you to activate the head unit in the Lada Largus. Such actions should be resorted to when the word “CODE” appears on the display, and the owner does not know its digital version. Let's consider the option of how to unlock the radio, as well as how to enter the code correctly.
Here you will need access to a special code generator applicable to Renault and LADA Largus radios. You can get this service by registering for free on the corresponding website on the network.
The decoding process involves an algorithm consisting of several stages.
- We simultaneously press and hold the “1” and “6” buttons present on the keyboard (for 5-6 seconds).
- After this, the display will display the inscription “pre code xxxx”, where the last four characters indicate that same “pre code”. It is necessary to gain access to the secret code combination, by entering which the radio will be instantly decoded. The radio code itself is formed from one letter and 3 numbers.
- If this operation fails, you will need to dismantle the radio. For this purpose, you need to acquire two pullers “7711381821” or four pins. These devices are inserted into special holes present on the front panel of the audio device. Simultaneous pressing on the integrated removable components allows you to remove the radio from the landing shaft. Now disconnect the cable connector and antenna wire.
- There is a sticker on the back wall of the device on which the manufacturer has applied a special barcode and other information related to this product. There you can also find the same “PRE-CODE”.
- We go to a site with a code generator and enter the “PRE-CODE” read on the sticker into a special window for this service.
- Now we confidently click on the “Generate” button, after which we get the code we need.
- Next remains the method indicated by us to enter encoded information into the radio.
Attention! Before dismantling the device, we recommend disconnecting the power supply by removing the terminals from the corresponding terminals of the LADA Largus battery.
See:
There are times when the standard radio has a bunch of barcodes, a bunch of numbers, but the required composition (1 letter, 3 numbers) is nowhere to be found.
To do this, try using an application for Android and iOS devices to read barcodes.
Read all the barcodes in order and find the acquired results by searching on the Internet; in the acquired data you may find the combination that suits us - PRE-CODE.
How to enter the Renault radio code?
The Renault standard radio code contains 4 numbers.
If the radio displays ERROR, do not be alarmed, you have not broken it - pressing 1 and 6 again will return the screen to entering the code.
To enter it, you need to dial it using the standard joystick of the radio or using the radio buttons after entering, press and hold the “6” button.

Largus car radio firmware
When the owner of LADA Largus is dissatisfied with the standard functionality of the radio, then you can resort to firmware. The reasons prompting such actions may include failures of configured programs, failure of buttons to respond to the activation of specific functions, etc.
Important! When flashing the firmware of the radio, you should remember the responsibility for the subsequent performance of the LADA Largus radio. This operation is quite complicated and no manufacturer will provide warranty service for the radio if the owner decides to take such measures as flashing the radio's firmware. When an irresistible desire arises to carry out the firmware procedure, it is better to entrust it to specialists who have considerable experience in this field. Now you know how to unlock the car radio, as well as how to enter the code correctly.
How this is done can be seen in the video:
Firmware
Quite often, owners of the standard radio of the LADA Largus station wagon are dissatisfied with its functional characteristics. First of all, this concerns performance, for example, when program settings are lost, control buttons do not respond to pressing, and strange icons appear on the screen instead of letters of the Russian alphabet.

Another way to remove the blockage is to contact an authorized dealer. Specialists transmit the vehicle's VIN number to the manufacturer and receive the code for the installed radio. The method does not work if the head unit was replaced with a similar one under warranty or by the owner himself. In most cases, the official will remove the radio and read the information on the label. The code number is then determined by the calculator.
On early releases of Largus there was a radio tape recorder that broadcasts a preliminary code to the display. To display the value, you need to simultaneously press and hold keys 1 and 6 for 5-6 seconds. A text explanation and a 4-digit code will be displayed on the screen, which must be entered into the calculator using the method described above. But such equipment is rare. There are no other methods for decoding the Largus radio. Reflashing the software does not remove the hardware from the code.
Commencement of operation September 1, 2012. During this time, Largus attended club meetings: Saransk, Belgorod, Orel, Ulyanovsk, Tambov, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Murom, Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow, Bryansk. , on the way I stopped by tubers in Pyatigorsk, Stavropol, Krasnodar, Volgodonsk, Voronezh, Tula, Penza, Syzran. - to be continued.
If for some reason you do not have the unlock code for your standard radio (the dealer did not inform you, you lost it, or you are far from your place of residence), then do not despair! To restore it, three things are enough: 1. a computer and the Internet 2. PRECOD - you need to use the tools at hand to pull out the radio and read on its cover
Then enter the received precode into the calculator and the program will give you the unlock code for the head unit.
Owners of popular models Renault Duster, Logan, Sundero, Clio, Scenic, Simbol, Megane, Laguna and Lada Largus are familiar with the problem of how to unlock the car radio.
The Chinim Ru website allows you to generate an online code to unlock your radio for free and without registration.
The standard radio is blocked every time the battery is disconnected and when the battery is low.
If there is no secret code to unlock the audio system in the service book, then the search for information and online code generators begins. In my practice I had to solve this problem. I decided to post all the available information in one place. For free and without registration, you can independently generate an unlock code for your Renault radio at Chinim ru online.
Step-by-step complete instructions for unlocking and obtaining a secret code from the standard radio of Renault and Lada Largus.
So, after disconnecting the battery, you have a problem - the radio does not turn on, you need to enter a code.
Use it, but only for legal purposes.
In order to receive the CODE
To unlock the standard
radio,
you need to know the preliminary code.
How to find out the pre-code of the radio:
- turn on the radio
- simultaneously hold down buttons “1” and “6” for 4-5 seconds
- The message “pre code xxxx” will appear on the display.
PRE-CODE usually has the format of one letter and three numbers:
LETTER_NUMBER_NUMBER_NUMBER
Example of precode d290 (letter and 3 digits)
- enter this code into the online generator window and click the “Generate” button
- A 4-digit code for your radio will appear in the window.
Add a leading zero to the number (345 = 0345 or 45 = 0045)
If the radio does not produce a pre-code, then take out the radio and find the Pre-code on the sticker. It is very easy to remove a radio in Renault, and there is more than enough information about this on the Internet. Therefore, I won’t waste time, but let’s find a precode.
The precode is necessary to obtain the unlock code, apparently the manufacturers thought that this was a sufficient measure against radio thieves, but for now it is an excellent measure to blow the brains of the owner. As always, not on time. So we are looking for precode.
In the photo there are possible options for finding the precode on stickers:
Look carefully for the analogy, the code is definitely there.
