- Something that’s bugged me about the Panda 100HP has always been the mildly naff sound system. The time finally came to upgrade the head unit. My choice? A Sony DSX-B700. In this video, I attempt to fit it.
What’s next - perhaps some speakers?

This was great. I've been shopping for a new 2-din NAV system for my "new" Panda too. I WAS going to install it myself, but now I'm thinking otherwise. lol. The other videos I've watched make it look so easy, but yours is more realistic. I appreciate that.
It was certainly a tedious process!
Heard on the Smith 'n' Sniff podcast yesterday that Richard Porter has just got himself a 100HP as well. Your setting a trend !.
Indeed he has! We both have a 100HP and e-Up on our driveways.
Thanks you provide a lot more information than the Sony manual or their website on how to work this radio.
My pleasure! Glad I could help.
Been shopping at Halfords.....'other motoring stores are available'
Great video Daniel...really looking forward to seeing your vlogs when you pass
Thanks! I can’t wait to film them.
Very good 2din stereo mate! I have the same in my Panda 100hp also!
The best!
Morning, Im having a nice cup of tea whislt watching this. How British lol. Nice work. Does this mean however, now you have "Banging tunes" you'll become a bit of a 4-wheel'd yobo lol?
Morning, sounds lovely! Rest assured, I will not turn into a yobbo 😅
Another great video Daniel. I’ve recently bought a 100hp and it’s been a fantastic experience. The OE audio is poor though. I’m curious to know where the sound quality is noticeably improved and are the subwoofer outlets simply low pass filters which require a separate amp or would a standalone sub work independently? It’s been many years since I did any aftermarket car audio! Thanks, keep up the great work and best of luck with driving lessons!!
It's the first time I've done car audio myself, but I noticed a huge difference in just replacing the head unit. I also fitted recently some Alpine speakers which have enhanced the sound even more. For me, sub woofers aren't essential, but they'd definitely improve things even more.
@@DanielDrives thanks Daniel. That’s really helpful. My 100hp is being MOT’d tomorrow. If it goes well I plan to invest in audio upgrades!
That looks a great car stereo 😊bit more complicated than the one I had in my first car 😂That was a radio only thinking it might not even had Fm. Soon swapped for a radio cassette with Fm 👍
Bet you are going to get up early on Thursday? and take the Panda for a drive 🚗 😊
It’s brilliant. So happy with it! My mum and I are actually staying up on Wednesday night and going out in the Panda when the clock strikes midnight.
Good video Daniel. I just got one of these, and I can't see the display in the sunlight. Have you had any problems with that?
I read reviews about the screen being difficult to read in bright sunlight, but I don’t find it to be too big of a problem. Depends on the angle of the dash and positioning of the head unit I guess!
How do set the controls on it I fitted it to a volvo xc70
Top work! Even if we missed out on most of the actual work :P The question is, did you actually break any of those mustn't-be-broken clips?!
(And...there's a brother? An older/younger version of you?!)
As I type this I'm fairly certain it's 2 days to go, so have a great birthday and enjoy that first time legally out on the roads!
Thanks Simon! The truth is, I didn’t actually end up using the mustn’t-be-broken clips, I used cable ties instead…
Yes, there’s a brother. He’s called Thomas, and he’s 3 years younger than me. Not into cars one bit, football mad :/
Thanks for the kind words!
@@DanielDrives 'not into cars one bit' is good, it means he won't expect to 'inherit' the 100HP in 3 years time...
@@simonbanks3112 didn’t think of that. Yippee, football for the win 😁
I just install one can you help me with the Bluetooth pairing and connect it for first time
Does this head unit get really hot at the back? Ive got the same HU and it warms up pretty quick
@@fiazshah3838 I think they all do 🤔
It is possible to use it with controls at the helm
Hi there! I'm interested in purchasing one of these but was wondering if I'd definitely be able to use this stereo to Bluetooth my music from the Spotify app? Great video, thank you :)
Hey! Indeed you can, it’s easy to set up the Bluetooth too :)
@@DanielDrives thank you very much!
I just ordered this same head unit how is the Sirius XM function on this head unit?
Hi do you know why my USB stick only plays 225 songs instead of all of the ones i have on my USB stick. I have this radio
Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure. I had hundreds of songs and never had an issue. Maybe something to ask Sony.
@@DanielDriveswhat on a Sony radio you did? Think its limited to 250 songs
Which has better sound clarity and bass, sony or pioneer?
does it changes audio quality of the default car speakers ??
@@yiactioncamerafootage9341 it definitely improves them! It has a better built-in amp than standard head units.
Where do you order the external microphone from for the dsxb700w
Mine came in the box, but you can order almost any from eBay as long as it has the same connector type.
Hi Daniel, great video. I've just watched a similar video by another TH-camr but he fitted a wire running from the fuse box up through the dash and behind the head unit. Apparently this ensures that it switches on and off with the ignition. I know you didn't do this but I take it the unit works completely as it should etc? Thanks
Yep, all works how it should and it turns on and off via the ignition.
@Daniel Drives Thanks - just bought a mint 11k mile 100HP so will follow your videos with interest 👍🏼
Bluetooth should work, as it’s backwards compatible.
is that voice yours buddy?
Yes…?
Why you dont Show how it sounds?
Because it doesn’t make sound lmaooo
