2 Answers
Roewe i5 navigation installation can be done by seeking professional assistance. Introduction: The Roewe i5 is a high-performance internet-connected mid-size car under the Roewe brand. Development History: On June 26, 2019, the Roewe i5 Linghao version was launched. On September 26, 2019, the upgraded Roewe i5 Linghao series was released. In March 2021, SAIC Roewe first revealed the exterior and interior official images of the fourth-generation refined family sedan, the all-new Roewe i5. On April 7, 2021, SAIC Roewe officially announced the pre-sale price of its compact sedan—the new i5, with a total of 4 configuration models released.
I once installed a navigation system on my Roewe i5 by myself, choosing an aftermarket head unit with strong compatibility. Before starting, I prepared tools like screwdrivers and insulating tape. First, I removed the car key to cut off the power to avoid short-circuit risks. Then, I carefully dismantled the old center console panel, taking out the screws without damaging the surrounding clips. Next, I connected the wiring harness of the new head unit, matching the colors correctly and securing the connections firmly. After reinstalling the screen and ensuring it was fixed securely, I powered it on and started the car to test if the navigation ran smoothly, while also checking functions like the radio and Bluetooth to ensure nothing was lost. The whole process took me about an hour and saved me a few hundred bucks, but beginners can easily make mistakes, such as mismatching wires or overtightening screws and damaging the panel. I recommend watching tutorial videos online before attempting the installation. If unsure, it's better to seek help from a professional shop to avoid messing up the entire car system while also gaining some knowledge. Doing it yourself is quite rewarding, but safety comes first—don’t rush and overlook the details.
