DUCATO (2022-)

Double DIN facia adapter for the new FIAT DUCATO 8, model year 2022.
Dimensions of the facia adapter:
Largest width visible: 240 mm
Largest width with eyelets: 277 mm
Largest height visible: 154 mm
Recess for sheet metal frame: 183 mm (width), 112 mm (height)

Corresponds to the dimension for double ISO frame, our Art. No. BOA_24430_02. Please order the metal frame separately, if not already included with the radio. The optional set BOA_24430_02 contains the sheet metal frame, the metal brackets for the connection to the radio incl. screws, 2 unlocking keys and the matching plastic frame to cover the remaining gap of 7-10 mm for the insertion of the unlocking keys.

Most double DIN radios are mounted as follows, e.g. 13550 and 13552:
1. mounting of the plastic cover.
2. insert the sheet metal basket into the plastic panel from the front and fix it by bending over various tabs.
3. Install the metal clips supplied with the metal basket on the side of the radio.
4. Push the radio into the metal basket from the front until the metal clips snap into place.
5. Cover the gap between the radio front and the plastic panel with the cover frame supplied with the metal basket.

The sheet metal frames supplied with the radio cannot usually be used!
Note: The facia adapter 13550 and 13552 differ only in design! With the facia adapter 13552 there is a little more installation depth.

Suitable for:
FIAT:
Ducato (2021-)


It works only, if there was installed an Fiat OEM Radio from factory.

1-DIN facia adapter with removable pocket for the new FIAT DUCATO 8, model year 2022.
Color: PIANO BLACK

Dimensions of the facia adapter:

Largest width visible: 245 mm (top)
Largest width with retaining lugs: 281 mm
Greatest height visible: 159 mm
Recess for sheet metal frame: 183 mm (width), 52 mm (height)

When installing the steering wheel adapter 69654 in FIAT Ducate vehicles of series 8 (2021-) and an existing wireless charger this function can be retained with this intermediate cable.

ISO extension harness with switch on 80cm extension for manually switching on radio without having the vehicles ignition on. Commonly used on camper vans and motor homes to be able to listen to the radio when parked without having to have the ignition on or engine running.

Suitable for vehicles with a permanent 12v feed to the radio using standard ISO connections.

ISO extension measures 20cm and extension for rocker switch measures 80cm with I/O markings on rocker switch as pictured.

A blocking diode prevents continuous current being fed back into the vehicles electrical system.

The switch needs a 20mm hole to fit and a minimum mounting depth of 38mm

WARNING: Running the radio without the engine to charge the battery by the alternator or running or an external battery charger will discharge the battery.

For branded devices that only require an opening of 98 x 172.5 mm. With metal brackets and screws. Double DIN facia adapter for the new FIAT DUCATO, model year 2022.

Dimensions of the facia adapter:

Largest width visible: 245 mm (top)
Largest width with retaining lugs: 281 mm
Largest height visible: 159 mm
Difference to other solutions, such as 13550 or 13552:
Most double DIN radios are mounted as follows, e.g. for 13500 and 13552:
1. mounting of the plastic facia adapter.
2. insert the sheet metal basket into the plastic cover from the front and fix it by bending over various tabs.
3. Install the metal clips supplied with the metal basket on the side of the radio.
4. Push the radio into the metal basket from the front until the metal clips snap into place.
5. Cover the gap between the radio front and the plastic cover with the cover frame supplied with the metal basket.

In the case of the 60144 panel shown here, the radio is mounted from behind against the panel and finally installed in the dashboard together with the plastic panel.
This eliminates the need for the inner cover of the facia adapter as described in item 5 above and makes the installation look a bit more shapely.
Please note that this is possible with most branded radios if you have the taper in the front to 98 x 172.5 mm. Some so-called Chinese radios do not have this taper.

Can Bus -steering wheel interface for remote control of the most important functions of a radio, such as volume up, volume down, search function forward, search function back, mute (mute) and source (source selection) if available in the vehicle and supported by the respective radio brand. These 6 buttons are located on the back of the steering wheel, 3 on top of each other on the right and left side of the steering wheel. The telephone buttons on the front side of the steering wheel are also supported by this solution, if they are also supported by the radio protocol.

At the interface are still the following cables, which are connected as follows:
Speed: cable color pink
Handbrake: cable color green
For these functions the longer pink cable must be additionally pinned to the fuse box as described in the manual.

Reverse signal: cable color violet
For this function, the loose violet cable must additionally be pinned to the fuse box, as described in the instructions.

Only for vehicles with so-called camp preparation, i.e. for vehicles without radio ex works!

Important note: Please note that the gray 6-pin connector of the interface in the vehicle may only be connected to the also gray connector and not to the orange connector.

The interface is delivered with a plug & play cable set for the main functions. Some cables must be connected to the fuse box as described above.

For the following vehicles :

FIAT:
Ducato 8 (model year 2022-)

For the interface a radio specific adapter cable is still needed:

ALPINE (69001)
BLAUPUNKT (69002) (2-DIN devices from approx. 2015 except series 990)
KENWOOD (69005)
PIONEER, AUDIOVOX, DYNAVIN, MAC AUDIO (69021)
SONY (69006)
ZENEC (69029)

or universal cable 69111

Note: This interface supports only the above radio brands. The use of the universal cable 69111 is only possible for the above mentioned brands.

Low-loss cables are the cables with the best electrical properties for the loss-free transmission of antenna signals. Our Lowloss cable series has the best conductivity values and thus the lowest cable resistance. They are achieved by using tinned strands for the inner conductor (7*d=0.25mm), for the shield (42*d=0.11mm) and an additional aluminium foil between the PE dielectric and the shield. Only high-quality Fakra plugs and sockets from Rosenberger are used. They have an excellent finish and fit due to a special punching and bending technology by Rosenberger (Fakra-SF).

Technical data of the low loss cable:

Characteristic impedance: 50 Ohm
d capacitance: 95pF/m
Extended POLYTHEN insulation 2.00 mm
Aluminium foil shielding and additional tinned copper braiding
Outer diameter: 3.6 mm
