When teyes resolve AF alternative frequency its not working .firmaware mcu problem
This unit in car ,without radio nothing to do with it

I wouldn't hold much hope that they will ever fix AF. It hasn't worked for many years and it isn't used in China.

!!!!!HISSING SOLVED!!!!!

So, because this was my first time with replacing a head unit, I made some uninformed mistakes. Unfortunately there are no instructions for car specific model installations so it required some research. BUT I hope this post can be used to help others down the line. For anyone using a Teyes CC3 and using the OEM Bose amp from the 2013 CX-5 car, make sure you do the following, a little history of my process is also included:

The unit was shipped and received with two Power harnesses. One harness had a blue cable labelled "AMP-C" while the other harness had the blue wire labelled "AMP" and ALOT more connections like RCA etc. The harness with the AMP-C wire also had the Antenna assembly photo'd below with no RCA connectors:

What caused the hiss was using this harness originally, attaching the AMP-C on this harness to the AMP-C on the audio interface harness photo'd below:

This was a mistake. the amp was receiving power and signal through the AMP-C connection i soldered giving the amp more power than it could deal with essentially feeding the amp a line level signal hence the hissing.

So after much troubleshooting, i noticed that the other harness that had the blue "AMP" wire had a number of RCA inputs (RCA are normally passive signal)! And I had a spare RCA harness that came with the unit (also photo'd above next to the audio interface harness)!

Once I soldered the AMP-C from the audio interface harness to the power harness's AMP wire, I plugged in the RCA cable harness to the power harness as well(FR, FL, RR, RL). The RCA harness plugs into the back of the CC3. Photo below:

Now came the ANT car connection, the power harness with the RCA Plugs and "AMP" wire did not come with this, so I had to cut the blue connector (marked with an "X" in the photo above) from this harness and solder it to the ANT lead on the other. See photo above and below^^^

Once everything was assembled into the car, it worked. It just worked. I was able to bring power conditioning in the CC3 all the way back up to 60 and it sounds crystal clear.

You do the right thing.

The plug and play harness feed your Bose amp input with high level line out (speaker out), due to the gain of speaker out is very high, it causing the background hiss noise. Need to modify the harness and feed the amp through the CC3 RCA out. I done this mod in My Teana L33 which original come with Bose amp and hissing as well

I am in France, and my CC3 gives me complete satisfaction on my Ford Focus 2. I do not see what the restrictions would be due to the development by the Russians

Hi, did you get the reverse camera too? Which CANbus box did you get? Did the power cable include the illumination signal, so that button lights turn on and display dims when car lights are turned on? Does the reverse camera view's guide lines turn with the steering wheel?

I have a Wondefoo head unit on my Mk2 Focus and just recently got the reverse camera installed; the lines stay straight and ignore the steering wheel.

Good morning,
1- I have the teyes reversing camera
2- I don't have a canbus box, because on the focus2 (from 2005) the car radio controls go through a resistive network, and the CC3 does not use the other bus information (for this car).
3- the lighting commands activate the darkening and lighting of the lights.
4- the guidelines are fixed, because I don't have a position sensor on the steering column (it appeared later with the ESP).
You have the choice between the guidelines generated by the CC3 teyes, or those generated by the reversing cam.
Finally, I don't know what the denomination focus MK2 corresponds to.

@jamdwan I did downgrade to March firmware, without performing factory reset, and it did solve the android auto issue. I have the latest AA 9.6 version and once again working perfect, clearly issue is with whatever they applied in later softwares

If anyone needs the March package I can arrange an upload somewhere

All versions are there : teyes.com.au

Thanks very much for your reply.

I think 2005-2011 is all 2nd generation, though my 2009 ST is technically Mk 2.5

2. On mine the steering wheel controls are on CANbus, although my Wondefoo radio doesn't seem to be getting a keycode for the Voice button. Note that the factory service manual shows the buttons are actually a resistive network, but the power cable takes the two control lines and feeds them to the CANbus box. I suppose I could try bypassing the CANbus decoder for them, to get the Voice button working.

3. On the power cables most AliExpress vendors provide for this generation, the wiring harness Illumination pin isn't connected, and they expect it to come via CANbus instead. That doesn't work for my car, so I had to add a pin to the quadlock connector to get the Illumination signal. My Wondefoo radio now reacts to the headlight switch, but I have to keep the dashboard dimmer dial at full brightness. Anything less and all the radio lights and display flickers.

4. Ok. I guess my situation is the same.

Thanks again.

I'm mulling over getting a CC3, because I'd like to have a 2000x1200 display and that gyroscope. My Wondefoo only has 1024x600. But I've only recently gotten everything working on it, and maybe I should just leave well enough alone. Also it has 8G RAM and a microSD slot, which the CC3 lacks. Currently I've got my music library plugged in on a 512GB microSD card, it's really handy.

Also, the CANbus decoder box that came with the Wondefoo has no recognizable name. I also ordered Raise and Hiworld to try out. The Hiworld actually lets you control the HVAC, while the others only display the HVAC info. But it didn't give me any steering wheel controls at all. Ultimately I just used the original decoder box.

For usb, I found this:

For usb, I found this:

Yes, I have one of those too, although I had hoped to preserve the original USB port in my center console. I also wanted to reuse the original mic but they installed the external mic from Wondefoo instead. For reference, the factory mic would have used Audio Ground on pin C6 and signal on C12. The center console AUX input uses C6 ground and left/right on C5 and C11. The USB port uses C3 and C4 for +5V and ground, and C9 and C10 for data (but I'm not sure which is + vs - ).

Did that tonight as so.eone on the Facebook pages did it that way too. Worked perfectly.

Hi all,
I've left my car sitting for a couple of months and now my teyes cc3 is playing up, it was fine before.
These are the problems:
- No audio coming out of the speakers
- randomly restart
- reboot button in the drop down menu won't work

I've got a VW polo 2011.
Ive tried replacing the CANbus decoder, since in the settings it says the canbus protocol is unkown idk if thats standard or not, ive tried to update the canbus setting but idk if its saving the data. I've also done a factory reset and its not working.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

**update**
I've pressed the 'rst' button and now it will go through a cycle of the button back-lights turning on and off until it will turn on and show a dead android with no command text. Any ideas?

 

[reded2323]

I have the 2k CC3 installed and like it. Its one of the better implementations, although not perfect.

Has anyone worked out how to set a lock screen password? On a previous head unit I could do this from the Google Find Device App on my phone but not this one. No help from Teyes either.

Has anyone written a hack to swap out the Radio? I already did the media player hack.

Thanks

Hey guys.
Just received my CC3 2k and had a few questions.

First the radio antenna connection on my Prius wont fit the head unit so I'm guessing I need to get a adaptor? Unless I missed something in the wiring.

Edit: I forgot to plug in the antenna. Fixed!!

Also when I go inside car info app I can see my tire pressure but its in KPA. Is there a way to change it to PSI? I did not see any way of editing or changing settings in there.

Hi, to everybody from the EU who ordered a CC3 from the Australian Teyes store - do they ship from Australia or do the have a warehouse in the EU? If from Australia how much import tax did you have to pay?
Thx

 

[Elmer123456]

Hi Phyrros1
I ordered through Australia, but the package came from China. I didn't have to pay import duty - I don't know if I was lucky or if the declaration was written accordingly.

He is a drop shipper. Has no Aus business address and all product shipped direct from China. No advantage in ordering from Aus seller unless he is cheaper.

So, you are saying they are not in Australia at all? But why are they charging in AUS$ ? Ordering directly from China means from Teyes via AlibabaExpress ?

Hi Elmer123456
When exactly did you order and how long dit it take?

 

[Elmer123456]

Hi Elmer123456
When exactly did you order and how long dit it take?

ordered: 28.12.21
mailed: 5.01.22
received:21.01.22

So it took about 3 weeks until the package was in Switzerland.

They are in Aus, but they do not keep stock.
If you buy from the Aus store it is dispatched from China, from the exact same Teyes warehouse as the Aliexpress purchases.

There is zero benefit from buying from teyes.uk
In fact it means you cannot go direct to Teyes for support. You must go through the Australian support, who simply ask the main Teyes if they don't know.
