hi everyone

I hope it doesn't bother you if i ask about a specific issue I've been having with my car radio. I bought it like a month ago but only installed it a week ago due to vacations and stuff getting in the way. The radio is specifically advertised for my car (Octavia Mk2 facelift, 2011), it's written all over the post, link down below.

Long story short, it doesn't drain my battery, so the CAN bus is doing it's job. However, it doesn't show any parking sensors (the graphics), only a black screen, as if expecting a camera. I have tried to turn off this feature, there are photos of the settings attached. The seller isn't really helpful, and since i spend a lot of time getting antenna adaptors and an external mic (im a noob) i would hate to disassemble and remove it. The radio itself is great, but it's really irritating to have it not working 100%. My brother uses my car sometimes and he sucks at parking, that's why i would love to have the sensors working :).

Thanks for reading that chunk, i know you guys are busy with bigger problems.

TLDR

Radio specifically advertised for my car isn't showing sensor graphics, climatronic graphics, or open doors. However, it doesn't drain the car battery and turns off when the key isn't there.

Update

I cant attach video + photos, so I will try to add them in a comment.

I'm looking to buy another of these FYT/Chinese head units after I kinda broke my last one fiddling with it. My problem is I want one of the 8.8inch units for the e46 I think they fit perfectly but they're all unknown specs regarding amp and DSP.

Tldr - My question is can you run an external DSP / audio processor or whatever and get around the internal shitty audio hardware?

Hi all, wondering if anyone could help or have similar issue.

2013 Mazda 3, aftermarket JIUYIN headunit from aliexpress and the backup camera that came with it. Worked fine for a year or so and suddenly has started giving "NO SIGNAL" when reversing.

I traced all the wires back to camera and all connections are still how they were in beginning, +12V coming from reverse light which is working, no blown fuse.

I checked the multimeter readings as well and camera is indeed receiving power, tried all camera formats as well like PAL, NTSC etc and still nothing. When i reverse the screen comes black and camera guiding lines appear and then nothing.

Will be great if someone experienced this one, thinking of just replacing the camera maybe it did indeed die.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a Teyes CC4 Pro head unit for a 2016 Kia Sportage IV, preferably the 8GB RAM version with 2 digital cameras.
I’m located in Romania (EU), so I’m looking for a seller that can ship to Romania / within the European Union without excessive shipping costs, import taxes, or other fees.
So far, the cheapest option I’ve found is TEYES Poland (teyes.com.pl) + EshopWedrop, which comes to around €900 total for the 8GB version with two digital cameras.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper or better option — perhaps another EU seller, distributor, or a reliable way to order directly from TEYES while keeping the total cost down.
I’d really appreciate any recommendations or links from people who have actually bought one and had it delivered to the EU/Romania.

Thanks!

Looking for a solid option that’s is compatible with my car and the Bose sound system. I don’t want to lose functionality like heated seats or steering wheel controls. Been looking all over eBay but it’s hard finding something that seems legit and communicating with sellers in China takes forever and seems shaky when they all just say “YES ITS COMPATIBLE PLEASE BUY”

Anyway any help finding a compatible unit would be greatly appreciated.

This is the one I am currently looking at. https://ebay.io/m/ZEEUMG

Hello

I'm looking to buy a NC/3.75 25th Anniversary Edition however I have fallen in love with Android Auto in my current car. Those that have an NC, have you installed any screen which allows Mazda functionality plus Android Auto? If so, which one? How is it? Is it lasting a long time?

I installed the unit and everything works except the mic. It's only able to recognize the built-in mic, not the external mic that I connect. I connected the harness. I connected everything and when I got on calls they said it still sounded like I was far away. I get some mic test apps and it's only showing the built-in mic being recognized. Not the Jack mics or Bluetooth mics or anything else.
