A word from Stu-
Saab Unleashed is a channel that started over lockdown and has evolved into a mixture of Saab-related shinanigans, car infotainment stuff and other gadget reviews.
I've been doing these reviews for a couple of years now. The reviews are always based on my personal opinion and are NOT paid for by the manufacturers. This should be fairly obvious because I always talk about any negative points of products.
Sometimes I buy head units to review; sometimes I reach out to manufacturers asking them to provide me with a head unit to review, and sometimes they reach out to me. It is important to me that everyone knows that these free products will never change the outcome of my opinion, or the head unit final scores. If there are issues, believe me, everyone will know!
My intention is to ultimately create detailed, honest and matter-of-fact reviews for consumers and enthusiasts, not advertisements for the manufacturers.
Nowadays, I try to use affiliate links in the video descriptions wherever possible. Most of them are not affiliate links, but there are some, such as those directing to Amazon or eBay. This means that if you use one of my links to buy something, I might receive somewhere between 1-5% of the value of your purchase from the retailer (obviously no cost to you).
I set this up because running this channel costs money via video editing software, music licencing, (not to mention buying head units and most of my evenings and weekends!) and I don't get paid for the reviews.
Anyway, I appreciate all of my viewers and subscribers and I am open to any suggestions you might have for me to improve the content.

CHANGE DPI SCALING THROUGH DEVELOPER OPTIONS:
Settings > System > Developer Options > 681232 > (under drawing section) Smallest Width > Set to 480, or 520 etc. (default is 720)
If you encounter an issue where the home launcher doesn't show after changing this setting (probably too low), swipe down from the top to open quick setting tiles to access the settings app again and change the value to something higher.
I tested this on the regular 720p CC3, not sure what the default value for CC3 2K is so just play around with this setting.
Thank you a lot!
Absolute legend. I couldn't see this anywhere else on the Internet and it fixed the resolution for me completely 👍
@@toxichazard5015do you mean you managed to make the icons bigger? On the cc3 2k?
Thanks
@@perkypat2214 I have the standard cc3, but if you play around with it you can alter the ratio so yes, you can change the icon sizes
The problem with the CC3 2K in regards to the icons being smaller and Spotify and Waze search bar being smaller is, it will make it harder to use. As a head unit designed for cars, bigger icons are better for ease of use.
On android with rooted phones there is an option to change DPI, maybe teyes could change that or make it available via settings menu.
Does anybody else suffer from over heating phones when using wireless android auto? I wonder if it would make it worse knowing the phone has to compute more power for a 2k screen
car navigation with smaller icons,etc makes no sense. 720p is definitely better.
This was the exact pointi was going to make
Just an update. I've bought the normal T'eyes CC3 directly from T'eyes (not AliExpress) and it is brilliant. Took about 3 weeks from China to UK and was well packed. The screen resolution is really good. Sound quality is brilliant as the EQ has enough adjustments to get the sound that suits you. The headunit keeps memory of the last app you was using when you restart your car the next day. Android auto and Carplay are both wireless which work great as long as your phone is fast enough. Definitely recommend.
Not only microphone, but overall call quality you can hear is much much better. Thank you for testing that! Much appreciated 🥰
I find the quality and information given in your show is outstanding. Thanks
I’ve got mine installed 4 days ago… works great so far… In a 2016 tundra cc3 2k.
Some great helpful comments here. Thanks guys. Thanks Stuart.👍👍👍⭐
Although it doesn't have side volume controls it has the top right button, but it also has onscreen gestures. So use 2 fingers swipe left and right turns the volume down and up. And I can say after using it for a bit it actually works better than looking for a small button to press.
This is how I intend to use mine I'm glad to hear it works well
Great tip thanks!!
I always use steering wheel button to adjust volume, play next song/channel & back
1) What is this "top right button" your're talking about? Physical? Touch? I don't see any…
2) If you can control the volume level by swiping with two fingers, does that mean that one cannot pinch to zoom in or out the navigation map? Or both gestures are possible?
This was a small concern for me and is now relieved since the car its going in does not have wheel controls lol
just got my mine delivered (2k) and getting it professionally installed. Will be a good update to the car!
Great video as always. Would you be able to make one about general wiring of these FYT units? The instructions are vague at best in some cases but I have a feeling they're quite applicable from one 'brand' to another. I'd love to see a tour/breakdown of your jukebox test rig!
Was thinking I might have regretted buying my cc3 when I heard about the new update coming out soon. Seeing this, I have no regrets, as I got the 360 camera, and the large icons mean I have slightly less squinting as my eyes are slowly getting older and can see older users would benefit from larger text. My only complaint would be, when starting the clock instead of going to the default time display, I could change the default to analog clock. Otherwise, love the unit.
Thanks for testing it. ❤ Amazing
I purchased the CC3 2K. It is on order. Dan from Teyes is a great guy on product support. Cannot wait to install. Good company.
Hey Kevin, I’m about to order the 2k as well how did you go with the install?
@@Tigerratcat I have it all sitting on my desk. Got the OBD and rear camera. I have 2 amps, a inverter and led bar to install. Going to gut the truck in April for the install. I have infinity Kappa components , 10 JL sub powered and a infinity ref amp. That should do it. I never have done a video on utube. May do it on this install. Spend a lot of time researching. Hope it can help out some folks with the Ridgeline. Also box says China even though we are buying from Dan at Teyes. My guess he is a dealer for Teyes coming out of china. The ship label was from CCP. A few folks has issues with same head unit of Ali Express. No support. Makes sense. Pay more and have Dan be your support structure. Reach out if you need anything else.
For people worried about the size of icons and text on the CC3 2K you can always go into the preference or accessibility settings and change the sizes of text, fonts and app sizes there
excellent
Thanks for this I wish I had found it a few months ago. Went through 3 other radios before deciding to get this one. The first one wasn't bad just no rear rca preouts. Gonna put it in my other car. But this one is amazing for me now!
On the back of your reviews I have just fitted a CC3 2K to our 2013 Merc Sprinter. Superb sound. Great screen. About to fit the rear view HD camera. You were positive about the Teyes car app. It’s a gimmick. DAB sounds superb and picked up 63 stations (DAB Z) before the antenna was grounded. Installation instructions are pitiful (one side of one sheet) but there are online videos. Teyes launcher radio does not support DAB. My Sprinter does not have canbus controls and the HU wouldn’t start until the supplied module was added to the supplied loom.
Very impressed so far but think I need to mod the UI or use another android launcher.
Thanks for the reviews.
Hi mate just wanted to say thank you for the review. I bit the bullet and ordered one of these for my TT today with a reversing camera.
I agree Dan is fantastic. He patiently answered all my questions and I was able to install CC3 in my car without much issues at all. The harness that worked for 2014 Toyota Sienna Limited, did not have Port-C cable. If I want to remove OEM JBL and install amplifier and new speakers how should I go about it. Any recommendations / suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks for a nice review, just ordered 2k one for my W220 Mercedes 😊😊😊
Been looking at head units recently for my Jeep Compass. This one seems to be leading the pack for the ones running android.
Thanks for the clear review!
Found your channel recently. Love your videos bro! Thanks for all the unbiased reviews on tech especially android head units to get. Question for you…i live in California, is there any concern or things i should consider if considering say a teyes or joying unit here in the USA? Also do any of these do HD radio channels for fm? Thanks so much for your time -G
I'm concerned about the smaller tex size due to the increased resolution. It may make it hard to read text using Google Maps. Can you increase text font size on the 2K model?
Excellent videos! Please consider looking into the digital dash (speedometer) installs for Jeep Grand Cherokee (2013 preferably)
I can vouch for the backup service provided by Dan in Australia. He was prompt and most helpful, a pleasure to deal with. I've had my CC3 for 18 months now, had no issues and just love it's capabilities & performance. No microphone issues with the external mic I installed, and the 170° night vision rear camera is just brilliant.
Any idea what state in vic he's in?
You have his email? Have some questions for him
Hi when you installed the external mic did you have to disconnect the internal one as I've just tried plugging the exsternal only but still the same problem
Thanks for doing this comparison. Very helpful! Would you consider a short video comparing the call quality on the original CC3 using the internal mic vs the Teyes external mic?
Yes a test of the external microphone would be great on the 720p version
I got confused as I never knew there was a mic on the unit, I just presumed it needed external which I have. So a test be nice please
IMHO, CarPlay definitely looks better and more usable on the 2k screen. But the opposite is true for Android Auto and the whole Android interface. A higher PPI just makes the icons and text a little too small to be easily viewable on the head unit.
Can you mirror with iPhone to the cc3 thanks
Good review! Question: is this a good replacement for the OEM of a 2002 Saab SE 5-door? Are there any modifications required? Will the steering wheel buttons still work, and is apple carplay wireless. I missed it in the video
Hey @SaabUnleashed, first off thank you for all of the great content you produce around Android head units!
Are you able to tell me how well the CC3 2K charges a relatively newer phone and if it charges while using Android Auto connected weird/wirelessly?
Hello. I am ready to update my car head unit. Could you do some more testing regarding dvr front camera features: how it works, how showing line assistance etc. It would be interesting.
Nice review- is this a suitable replacement for a 2014 Ford Escape Sync 2 8” system? Will I be able to keep my existing back up camera and GPS antenna or do I need to replace them?
I have watched so many of your videos and I love the content and links. My only gripe is no one makes anything for the 2012 ram 1500. For this reason only I have not pulled the trigger on a head unit. Any insight as to why not or where to start? Thanks.
These both look very good ,but I'm wondering what vehicles they fit in ,I have a mondeo zetec with it fit and do you need dash parts or surrounding to fit it ?
Do a video about the best sounding android headunits,please..Keep up the good work.
I love my CC3 in my Hyundai Genesis coupe but I never use the screen full time and its set to sleep in 5 minutes. But it's the best on the market IMO.
Can you do some kind of review for the variety of 2015 era Corolla head units? I’ve seen so many out there, so far dasaita looks the best but curious what you think about the others like joying, roadanvi, kunfine. Nice reviews btw
Hi, could you please test both units call sound quality with external microphone also. As currently bad quality for 720P version is deal breaker. Other side 1200P has too small icons for moving cars and no side buttons.
Hi there, very comprehensive video!
However I would like to ask if the Canbus integration has specifically for Toyota Harrier (Venza in US) Hybrid 2021?
Hello.
Thank you for this review.
Is it possible to get the teyes cc3 for a 2005 toyota corolla ce?
If not or yes, what other brands do you suggest is best for said car?
How much would you recommend for smooth operation? Is 3gb enough? Thanks
Greetings from Canada! I just wanted to thank you for the great videos you produce - they are well done and very informative. I consider your opinions valuable with regard to android head units and am asking for your advice regarding which head unit I should purchase. After watching your reviews, I have decided that the Teyes CC3 was the right head unit for me. I went to their website and there is two particular packages of interest to me: the non-2K CC3 (6GB + 128 GB); and the CC3 2K (3GB + 32GB). Given these specs, which one do you think is of better value (there's only about $15 CAD price difference between the two). I don't intend on installing the 360 cameras, and I'm happy with either screen resolutions. Your input would be much appreciated.
Hello. Very nice and informative video. Can you say how about connecting which iPhone, it is via a cable or can you also connect wirelessly? Very thanks 🙏🏻
I hope the CC3 360 gets a "Plus" version soon!
Hi Stuart, I stumbled upon your YT channel recently, I think what you are doing is fantastic, you seem like the answer to many peoples prayers and hopefully mine too. I have a Toyota Vellfire 20 series - GGH25 model
3.5 VL, as it’s an import, nearly everything on the head unit is in Japanese, I’m desperate for a replacement unit but must have all the safe driving assistance and also must have 360 camera and vehicle self parking assist. I would be very greatfull for any ideas or better still, any recommendations.
Many thanks Tony.
I have CC3 360, the 720p screen really seems not to have been well adjusted to the size of the programs, google maps has a button below the screen line to start a route, waze when there is an alert the button is also on the edge of the screen, and in temperature application the cc3 360 reaches 80 degrees celsius
I love the T’eyes! I have a double din opening and was curious how this zero din would actually fit. Strangely I can’t find a video of anyone doing an install and how they attach this unit to the dash. Ever thought about doing a quick video on attaching to the dash?
I showed mounting this is a Saab double din here: ua-cam.com/video/p-6xglcAFZc/v-deo.html
Do we need to order separately wire and CanBUS decoder? Or it's included in the package?
In your Opinion. The M6 Pro Plus vs CC3 2K. Which is best? Thank you....
Hey, great video. How is it with polarised sunnies? The only reason I want to change my head unit is because some angles it's hard to see wearing Raybans. I haven't seen it raised so I'm guessing it's okay but just to be sure.
Great video and good comparison.
Hi great information will these work in 2016 Chrysler town and country
I'm looking to update my car radio these Teyes look good why don't local auto shop sell these they only have big brands?
If I use this in my VW Golf 7, will it have trouble with the tyre pressure system? Will it still be able to display other car data as well (avg fuel consumption etc)
Yes, finally! I’ve been waiting for your review since December 22 😅
Edit: Could you please do an in-depth comparison between the cc3 2k & the mekede m6 pro plus?
That one is coming :)
So dear brother which one is more better mekede or teyes
Still I'm waiting to process my order 😮
Hello Stuart, please can you advise, is there any way to mute the microphone on the CC3 (any version) during calls? My current (cheap) android head unit does not seem to have any way to mute my mic and it is problematic. When you were making the test calls in the video, I did not see any mic mute button on your screens either.
How do you adjust the volume? Turn it on and off?
Most a great review I ever seen
I am sending back my Atoto a6 pf as it was running very hot. Can you recommend one of the flagship models that runs cool?
If Teyes does not make a dash kit that is made for my truck, do they offer a universal option that I can use on my truck? Great video, thanks for the comparison.
Hello... Best regards.
I would like to know if the CC3 Universal unit from 10.0 (updated to 2K) can be installed in a Volkswagen Jetta/Bora MK4 also known in Europe as VW Bora 1J2.
I'm looking to upgrade from my 5 year old Eonon head unit, I'm split between this Teyes unit or the 10.1 Joying 1200p 4gb/64gb. which would be a better buy? I am leaning towards Joying being that I can buy it directly from Amazon and deal with them if I had to return, plus they have the kit that fits my 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. Is there a huge difference in sound or screen quality between the two?
Could you compare the dimming function. Like for highway darkness
I am confused, please help me which one is better, especially since you have tried both:
1) Mekede Navifly M6 Pro Plus. ( 2k )
or
2) Teyes cc3 2k .
The greater detail on the new 2k is fine, but what if I don’t want the time text and the more number of icons? When running a car it’s important to find items fast, like carplay has few and bigger icons. Android auto looks more like a phone.
Can the unit be set so the 2k is used to get sharper image but still keep bigger icons?
Thank you!
Should I buy the newer or older screen? teyes cc3 2k
would you recomend 32G 64G or 128G? and hows it effect it? is it just storage size that could be expanded with a usb drive or dose it effect performance as well?
Could you check accessibility settings on in android to see if you can scale the UI for spotify and the like?
What unit would you recommend for a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe Ex in Canada. I like the IDoing 12.3. Would you recommend teyes for the Honda ?
Wondering if adding the external microphone would improve the original cc3s mic
Can i ask 1 more question please. Ive orderd the 64gb with 4gb ram. Then ive added the 2k upgrade. Teyes have said there is a backlog on the 2k screens and they have no ETA. Do you think i am better waiting for the 64gb with 2k screen or using the money i paid for the 2k uprgrade and having the standard cc3 with the 128gb and 6gb ram?. Is the difference in screen quality that good?? Wish i had orderd the 128gb anyway but for some reason i didnt as as they already have the dosh for the 2k upgrade id imagine it will just be an easy swap to do.
Your advice is greatly appreciated!!
Do these maintain the steering wheel controls when installed? I have a 2019 ford ranger
Great content I just subscribed 👍
very interested in one of these units. Whats the difference between the A and B versions?
Do you know if it has a cheap screen protector installed, it looks like there is?
9 inch - CC3 2k vs Mekede M6 pro plus comparison? Anyone hold views on strengths and weaknesses? ie pricing, specs, installation andintegration with steering wheel controls, ease of use.. opinion sought...looking to replace Mercedes ML 2008 head unit.
Do all the functions work no matter what country your in?
For the CC3 2K head unit, did you have to purchase the CC3 2K Upgrade package?
so im liking this for my car it would be a great upgrade, but my question is how does this integrate with in build functions like self parking and dead corner sensors and everything i would not want to lose those functions of my car, all those functions i control via the original head unit the thing is the original head unit does not have android auto or carplay function build in , thats why im intrested in this product, on there website there is 1 for my car but it doesnt tel me anything about the difference in trim and options the car has and if it would take over those functions.
Unfortunately you didn't compare the camera /display differences.... My disappointment with the previous CC3 is the resolution for the cameras front and rear. I have a camper van and need the rear live view. I ended up adding an additional mirror cam to get a clear rear view.
how are reflections? or is the old one also fully laminated?
What is your opinion about Ruancheng stereos?
Do you have to plug this into the obd port to use it? As I have an exhaust plugged into it
Hello, maestro.
I need your help with something. I have a Toyota Corolla 2022 model car. I was very impressed with Teyes cc3 and bought it. I am having trouble assembling the product.
My problem is this: When assembling the product, the frame on the vehicle that covers the back of the product should be deeper. Teyes was too wide for the existing tailgate. What is the technical name of this tailgate, I couldn't find it.
Thank you in advance for your support.
I have a 99-05 Gmc Yukon does Teyes make a universal unit for my vehicle. I was confused on their site. Thanks in advance for the help.
What is the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto software on this unit? Is it ZLINK 5?
does increasing the storage size (32 vs 64) increase the performance of the unit? Debating on what size to get from the website. I don't plan on necessarily storing much on the unit, just everyday use. Thanks
@saab unleashed: How do you reboot/restart these new radio's without the physical power button? Before you would hold the physical button on the left for a few seconds to power off the device. Now, the on-screen power button at the bottom only turns the screen off. So, how do you fully restart/reboot the device? Thanks!
We are after an Android head unit for our 2008 Honda CRV which has the Homda Sat Nan unit fitted. We are struggling to find one that fits. Any idea?
On there website it shows a 2k replacement screen for the earlier versions of the cc3, I could be wrong but if so a video on doing this replacement would be great
Yeah I was actually considering this. You would need to also flash new firmware onto the CC3
Are you guys sure about this? I did see the screen upgrade, but it says its not to he sold separately, it needs to be bought with a cc3 unit.
Really wish they made this in 7inch :`( I cant seem to find any information is a 9in will fit in my 7in double din. Even if it sticks out a Lil should be fine but would it still Mount? I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Crewcab
I have the original CC3 on it's way to me and can't wait!!.
something i noticed on both units shown here, can you edit/name your saved radio stations rather than just see the frequency?
Nope
Seen a few of your videos now and the Teyes certainly seem to be the best of a very mixed bunch.
Unfortunately both myself an Teyes are struggling to find a head unit that will retrofit into my 2008 Mercedes CLK500 W209. The process appears to be quite a leap of faith in terms of physically fitting it within the dash. I might just be about to give up !! Shame.
In general, I have a problem with higher res screens where the Android app's onscreen elements may be too small to see at a quick glance.
Hi friend
If you see my comment please advise me between 2 big brands, Mekede m6 pro plus 2k and Teyes CC3 2k
Because really I'm confused purchase which one of them...
Just wondering if honda odyssey rc1 360 camera will retained on this headunit?where to buy this unit in Australia?thanks
Why haven't you done a review on roadanvi? I'd really like to know your thoughts on that system
Mate whats more gorgeous??mekede or teyes??
Can you check how this head unit works with OBD2 adapter in the car, e.g. with Torque Pro or Car Scanner apps?
Usually these head units have a single Bluetooth chip which does not work correctly for many people when trying to use it with OBD adapter, because I guess it is configured to be used for Bluetooth audio. For me personally the ability to use the OBD data from the car is very important, so I would not buy such head unit if it does not work properly with OBD adapter.
I think that this is why ATOTO head units have multiple Bluetooth chips
Does Wireless CarPlay lag while using Google maps , especially during zooming in and out of the map while navigating ?
Do you know if the 2k can be converted to a single din like the original cc3?
