Ah that is true, great pickup. I didnt show in the video but I covered the ground wire with electrical tape but failed to mention. You can see this at 12:05

Thanks @Ausy8 😊 If we are just talking about the removal, install and assembly, 1 hour should be plenty of time. It took me a lot longer because as you mentioned, I cleaned the dirt and of course did the filming. Much easier than I thought. With regards to the dirt, I was going to have Tesla service check my car but after chatting with the service rep, I was told those gills are there to allow for the sound from the horn to come out, probably BS, idk. But they were going to charge me $181 just to inspect it without a clear action how to stop from entering, I said no thank you and cancelled the service appointment. Since you have been clocking a lot of kms in all sorts of different weather conditions, I would highly recommend that you at least remove the frunk tub and clean the area.

@@AutosNGizmos Thanks for the install time. Re the dirt, I dare not look. We probably have half of the outback in there. Maybe those grills are also for the pedestrian warning system that they install on more recent models? Anyway it's a bad design and they should shift them somewhere else.

Lol, fair. When you come back around to pick up Frankenstsrlink, I can do the service for you free of charge 😊 I can use my water-based vacuum… Yes bad design but hopefully those connectors are dust/dirt proof

It’s been ages since I did this and I might have tested those wires and they probably registered 0v when I put the car in reverse. Or maybe it did I just didn’t test it. But good pick-up. Thats probably the first priority and the canbus brown wire second…

@@AutosNGizmos finally I use the brown wire and all work correctly, thanks for the video:)

Update with regards to the gill on the wheel well. According to Tesla service, those gills are there to allow for the sound from the car horn to escape out 🤷‍♂️

@@leonardsanchezf.361 Awesome, yeah Joying is a good brand

Hi Joel, Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately I dont know the answer to that question. Their website doesn’t seem to have information about firmware upgrades for the 6.86” units. Best if you can ask Tesery directly about this.

@ thanks for the quick reply. I emailed them but unfortunately I’m finding their customer service is not very good to be polite. I should have gone with a Hanshow model…

Hi Joel, I’ll see if I can follow this up for you.

Hi there, its more the question whether the Carplay module is compatible with your headunit. Im assuming you already have one installed on your car?

I’m sorry to hear you have installation issues. Do you happen to have a Harman Kardon system in your W203?

Hi there, throughout my ownership of this car (sadly I no longer have this car), I never had any battery drain issue…

Hi Imran, That is strange. I checked the firmware setting and it doesn’t seem to have something that would cause the image to be inverted. Perhaps there is a setting within the reverse camera app itself? Maybe when the reverse camera is projected on the screen, try tapping on the display and check if there are icons that control how the image is shown on the screen…

@@AutosNGizmos thanks . Will try that

Hi Robert, firstly thanks for watching the video, I really appreciate it. If by “red box” you mean the CANBUS decoder, it gets power from the car’s main wiring harness. Mine doesn’t have a power LED indicator so it’s not easily distinguishable that it is getting power. The only way to confirm it is receiving power is to testing the wires using a multi-meter. With regards to the black wire for your Renault Traffic, I’m not too familiar with that vehicle but normally, black wires are “ground” which means you need to connect them to a ground point in the car. For most vehicles, a ground point is normally any connection to the car’s bare metal. You typically see this when a bunch of wires are connected to a bolt attached to the body of the car. But I must warn you that if you are not familiar with electricity concepts, please seek the help of a mechanic/professional to avoid damaging your car or injuring yourself. Best of luck!

Yeah good stuff. The W203 is such a beautiful car!

Hi there, so sorry to hear that. Was it working before and it only stopped producing sound recently?

Hi thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it 🙏🏽 no I had it installed today however no sound it pairs to my iPhone I can see it all working

What I do is when Carplay starts up on the Tesery, I go to the Tesla screen and connect to my iPhone via bluetooth. In that way when I use Carplay-compatible apps on my phone, the sounds goes through the Tesla speakers.

@@dittusslp3661 Hi Dittus, Yes it’s important to connect the reverse camera power to ground. If you skip through 20:57 mark, that is when I tapped the ground wire into the car’s grounding point. That ground wire directly feeds in to the power jack for the camera. I should have explicitly said this in the video.

Hi Jhovany, the Tesery unit I showed in this video is compatible with the older Model 3/Y (2017-2023) and the newer Model 3 (Highland). Just make sure to select the correct product option… You can find my affiliate link to this product in the detailed video review which I linked in this short video. Please check it out 😊

@@AutosNGizmoshello, I was referring to the visual update. My 2021 M3 doesn’t seem to have the sliding option to have the car in the center.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your question. When I did this video a couple of months back, the Tesla software had a setting under Controls>Autopilot called “Full self driving visualisation preciew” that you can toggle On/Off. They seemed to have removed this toggle switch. I’ve set mine to ON back then and I still have the feature. But Im not sure how to activate it if you dont have it… ☹️

Hi there, Ive answered this from your other post…

Hi there, do you mean gesture controls on your Tesery unit (swipe from left, from top or from right) does not work on first attempt but it works on the second or succeeding attempts? Or do you mean your Tesery does not have gesture control at all? FYI, gesture controls on my 6.2” Tesery for my 2022 Tesla Model Y (With AMD chip) works all the time. What firmware version do you have installed on your Tesery? It could be a firmware issue. Regardless, it might be best to contact Tesery directly for support.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated 😊

Hi Brian, Yes you can probably do that too actually. But since that metal clamp is slanted in, its also possible to just push it in.

Thanks frostwise87, much appreciated 😊 Ive also written a web article about it. Have a look if you are interested buymeacoffee.com/autosngizmos/common-android-headunit-firmware-settings

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback and I’m glad you found this video useful 😊

Hi Charles, yeah this will also drive me nuts. To me, it doesn’t sound like an issue caused by a bad fuse because a bad fuse means it’s an open circuit and no electricity will be flowing through. But I read somewhere that whenever Google Maps provides voice guidance, the dashboard shows a call with “My Number”. Then on my car whenever I activate SIRI on my phone, there is a phone call box that shows up on the car’s screen so that’s another angle of investigation for you. Good luck on your investigation and feel free to give an update if ever you determine the root cause of this issue 😊

Hi Charles, in most cases you don’t need to have a separate cellular connection. The only time you need it is if you want the car fully connected to the internet all the time, for example if you want to see the location live, or if you have a dashcam, see the live camera feed remotely.

@@AutosNGizmos I normally use Sygic. It is a good app that can be used free for the basic stuff as long as you want but it lets you download the individual maps for each state. I think all of the USA is only a couple of gigabytes but I am usually in one state so I just keep that one. Also if you have a microsd card in your phone at the time you install Sygic it lets you choose it if you want to for the maps. That is great if you just want to keep your phone storage clean or if you have an older device that doesn't have a lot of internal storage. I still remember older Android devices having 4 GB of space and a large portion of it already full. While Sygic is free for the basic stuff they do have a few extras. The nice thing about that app is you don't need a constant data connection to find your way around. That helps if you live in a place where cellular connections are not so great. Every once in a while they have map updates too and they are free. If you have an older head unit in your vehicle that doesn't have WiFi but also needs a replacement SD card for map updates it is nice to have a phone with Sygic on it. I have seen streets on my vehicle GPS that are not there any more. I also have seen housing developments not far from me that are not on my vehicle GPS. Often Sygic will have a more up to date map. If it doesn't look for the update.

Yeah these days, the after-market headunits look like they come from factory. I once installed an android headunit for a 2010 Peugeot 308 T7 and the mechanic from the Peugeot service centre admired how it looked “OEM”.

Hi there, I appreciate your question. I referred to the product listing on the Yonzee online store and apparently, there is a separate firmware file to deactivate that feature. This is what’s in their page: “If you want to cancel the red indicator light reminder of the speeding code meter, you can use these two things. Please contact our customer service to send you the operation file” I have sent them a message today. I will upload the file into my google drive and share it with the community as soon as I receive it. Stay tuned…

Hi there, I received the new firmware fiile to deactivate the overspeeding indicator. Link to the file is on my google drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/17j9f4d5Neqnzpqlx77BPrje0cecS2rU4 I will install this tonight but I don't think I will be able to test this here in Australia since the max legal speed limit here is 110 kph. So let me know if this works :)

@@AutosNGizmosThanks for the file. I flashed the unit with the new firmware and it still does not work. The left and right signal works but the speed number still turns red when it's over speed. I noticed the file from google is exactly same size as the one you posted

Actually you are right, the difference is very subtle and the picture doesn’t give it give it justice. I should take a better video thumbnail too LOL

That's excellent work! I tried back-and-forth with the Joying technicians and they were not able to help make the steering wheel buttons work. I'm glad yours worked :)

Hi there, I appreciate your question. Unfortunately, I don't own a Kia Ceed so I am unable to provide you with a definitive answer.

Hi there, I appreciate your question. Unfortunately, none of these are compatible with the new Model 3 Highland. == Salve, apprezzo la tua domanda. Sfortunatamente nessuno di questi è compatibile con la nuova Model 3 Highland.

@@AutosNGizmosGrazie mille 😉

Mine comes together with the Idoing unit which is probably preset for this car. Have you tried updating the car settings within the firmware?

Hi there, Yes thats the difficult part of the front cam install which is the reason why I haven’t done it yet. It requires poking a hole through the big rubber grommet next to the steering wheel rack which I dont intend to do. But I might use a wireless camera module to transmit video signal from the camera to the Tesery unit instead. Watch out for that video coming soon. Thanks for watching this video 😊

I think most of the cars on the roads here in Australia have canbus so it will be difficult to find one without one 😀

@@AutosNGizmos oh okay... The more videos you make, the more knowledge I gain from you. And it's easy to understand too.

Awesome thanks for watching the video, really appreciate you taking time to share your experience. Joying must have updated the design of that bottom trim.

Hi there, When stationary, the Yonzee will display the car’s remaining range.

@@AutosNGizmos yes … but no percentage. Only km? Can we use in %? Thanks.

Yeah I feel sorry for the LHD folks. TBH, it would have been an easier install for everyone if it was design to connect to the OBD port but alas its not

@@soczek214 Yes this product can support wireless Carplay but it depends what product option you pick. It is best to ask the seller to make sure you get the right one.

You’re welcome ☺️

@@davormilutinovic119 Hi Davor, I don’t remember if my GPS antenna was magnetised. At least for me, I think there is very little use for this antenna since the headunit supports Apple Carplay and Android Auto. I could probably do away not connecting this at all but since it was provided, I had to install it 😁

You are very welcome 😊

Hi Ali, I lost this car about a year ago due to an incompetent mechanic after owning it for about two years. If you are based in Melbourne, I would avoid that mechanic. But the headunit did not fail me throughout that ownership.

Hello MrElston644, thanks for watching the video. Regarding the product link, you can try this new affiliate link. Just make sure you check the dimensions on your number plate light cover and get the option that match yours. I think its either option 3 or 4. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mMLhTWu Please note since this is my affiliate link, I may get a small commission from Aliexpress if you make a purchase. Thanks if you end up making a purchase. It helps me keep the channel running😊

I see your logic here. However, you still need to connect the black wire on the Camera side so the 12v running on the red wire has a path to ground. If you don’t connect that black wire, the camera wont power up.

@@AutosNGizmos okay thanks for the reply.

@@AutosNGizmos Sir if you don't mind, can you please kindly share your 🅦🅗🅐🅣🅩 🅐🅟🅩 because I can't explain. I will better send photos/diagrams which explains more clearly...

@@AutosNGizmos sir can you help me?

@@AutosNGizmos I have one RCA adapter with 4 wires and the other end has a yellow connector with 2 wires. Between these 2 ends, there is a BLACK JUNCTION BOX from which only 2 wires come out to the yellow connector. And one wire not connected to anything. Obviously, inner ring is video signal and outer ring is ground. And, what are the 2 remaining wires used for??? And, what's inside the black box junction??? I really need englighten on these 4 wires and it's really confusing me alot. Please 🙏 help.

Hi Steven, Yes I connected the black wire to the grounding point of the car.

@@arnaudarnaud9256 👍

@@cheefussmith9380 Of course. Save the plastic trim, save the battery…

Hi there, thanks for watching the video. If you are after the CAN Type value I used, I have it set to 135. This seems to work with my 2005 W203 C200. For the rest of the CAN settings, I actually written a short web article which includes a mind-map view of the settings. Link here: buymeacoffee.com/autosngizmos/common-android-headunit-firmware-settings Let me know if you need further information. Cheers 😊

Hello there! This sounds like an issue with the wiring harness. If you have a multimeter, check if the power wires are properly connected and is showing a voltage reading. Otherwise, I suggest getting in touch with the seller to help rectify the issue. Good luck 🍀

@@AutosNGizmos okay thanks, I will look into that
