Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 - OEM-style 7-inch Android 15 upgrade
An Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 car multimedia player is usually sold as a fascia, a loom and a hope. The HB/HV7155 is one panel: a 7-inch Android 15 screen cut to the MiTo console, silver trim and keys included.
The range we publish is the Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019, and one detail decides the fit: what's in the centre stack now. If your car still runs the original single-DIN radio with the silver surround, the 7-inch fascia drops into that opening. If it left the factory with the navigation unit, or with a separate climate panel below the radio, the aperture's a different shape.
I hear the same question most weeks when somebody asks me for an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 car multimedia player: which stack have I got? Two cars of the same year can carry different ones, and a listing that just says "fits MiTo" won't tell you which you've got. Photograph the console and I'll answer it in one reply.

| HB/HV7155 | Alfa Romeo MiTo | 2008-2019, single-DIN silver console |
The short version of the Alfa Romeo MiTo 2011 factory radio replacement: the console stays and the software changes. You unclip the silver surround, release the keys behind the original unit, and the new panel goes into the same opening, with the two rotary knobs and the button row landing where your fingers already expect them.
Before, there's a small red display, a tuner and a CD slot nothing plays, which gets frustrating on a long drive. After, there's a 7-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and a radio page with preset keys you can aim at. What I hear most often is that people stop mounting the phone on the vent.
Our published walkthrough shows you the launcher, the tuner page and the phone screens running on the panel.
Playback stays on this page. Watch on YouTube if embeds are blocked.
Three routes, and they're not the same purchase. Keep the factory unit and nothing changes. A marketplace listing costs less up front, but you're rarely told which Android build is inside, or what happens to the trim, and ordering the wrong centre stack is the annoying part because it's the one thing you can't fix once the box has landed at your door. Ordering an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 OEM Style Car Radio from us means the fascia, the screen and the build table turn up as one documented package.
| Compared | Factory head unit | Marketplace listing | HB/HV7155 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone | No wireless path | Often wired only | Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Platform | Factory software, no app store | Older Android builds | Android 15 on a UIS8581A |
| Audio | Fixed tone controls | DSP rarely stated | Built-in DSP, ST7708 tuner with RDS |
The first two columns describe each route in general terms; the third lists our published specification.
Your phone pairs over the air and reconnects on its own, so there's no cable to fish out of the console. I treat an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2015 Wireless CarPlay Retrofit as the change you feel on the first drive.
A Cortex-A55 at 1.6 GHz with 4G LTE and Wi-Fi built in, so your maps run on board. As an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2012 Android 15 Head Unit it keeps its own clock, music and radio tiles on the launcher.
An ST7708 tuner with RDS, a built-in DSP and a TDA7851 amplifier IC over an RCA amplifier interface. One honest limit you should know about: no HDMI output, so you can't feed a rear screen over HDMI.
The panel runs three faces. The Android launcher holds live tiles - clock, the song playing, a speed readout and the tuner - plus the app dock, and CarPlay or Android Auto takes the whole 7 inches the moment a phone connects. The tuner gets a full-width page with a preset strip, which on the Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 console all sits behind the same silver surround your car came with.
Because it behaves like an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 OEM Style Car Radio from the driver's seat, there's nothing new to learn on the keys around it. Hand the car over and your passenger's phone takes the screen, with no re-pairing at all - awkward the first time and maddening the fourth.
Four items are optional and don't change the fit: a DVR camera, DAB+ radio, an OBD2 reader and tyre pressure monitoring. We also ship AHD reversing cameras and a 360-degree surround kit, if you want your screen to do more than the factory unit did.
The build table is the other half of the Alfa Romeo MiTo 2011 Factory Radio Replacement decision. Both carry the same screen, tuner and fascia; the only difference is memory, with HB at 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage and HV at 4 GB and 64 GB. An external microphone is included either way. Photograph your console and tell us the year, and we'll match the version to your car.
Want the fitting notes, or a straight answer on your centre stack? Send the model year, a photo of the VIN plate and one shot of the console, and tell us what your Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 has in it now. That's also how you choose between the Alfa Romeo MiTo 2012 Android 15 Head Unit and the higher-memory build.

See the HB/HV7155 on our product pageThe published range is the Alfa Romeo MiTo 2008-2019 with the original single-DIN silver console. Cars with the factory navigation unit, or with the radio above a separate climate panel, have a different aperture. Send a photo and we'll say which one you've got.
Memory only. HB is 2 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, HV is 4 GB with 64 GB. Same screen, platform, fascia and RCA interface, so you can choose on memory alone. If you keep a big music library on board, I'd fit the HV.
Yes. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are built into both versions, which is why we call this an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2015 Wireless CarPlay Retrofit rather than a screen plus an adapter box.
The fascia is moulded to the aperture your car already has, so the two rotary knobs and the silver button row keep their places and their jobs. For the steering wheel buttons and any factory parking display, send the model year and a console photo, and we'll say what your build supports.
There's no HDMI output, so a rear screen fed over HDMI isn't supported, and the fascia doesn't cover the factory navigation aperture. Everything else here - Android 15, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, RDS and the built-in DSP - is standard on both builds.
One message. Send the model year, the VIN and a photo of the console, and we'll confirm the version plus any camera or DAB extras, so an Alfa Romeo MiTo 2011 Factory Radio Replacement arrives as a single package.
