Another great review. Thanks for your effort and sharing. Im totally convinced that Teyes is the new feature my Peugeot 208 2018 needs. Think i will go for the cc3. It really looks fantastic and your review convinced me. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
My 2008 F150 stock radio finally played its last song. At the same time my backup camera add on screen is going. So looks like a new system for me. Reviewing your videos for ideas. Thank you for your videos
Not having Apple Carplay and Android Auto on this is a big shame imo. T'eyes should at least make a 7" screen version of the CC3 for people that want all the extra features, but only have a double din setup in their car.
Hey man great review as always, I just got the teyes DVR camera, works well with my teyes Tesla style for the honda crv 2011 , i watched your video installing the teyes 360 view camera. Could you make another video for tires pressure monitoring system.🙏🔥
Great content. Just subscribed after watching several of your reviews. Have you ever done or interested in doing a rating or comparison? Also, if you ever put together a list of your favorite apps to add to your head units I'd be interested in that. Keep up the great work.
I do a bit of a rating at the end of each video, I give them some scores based on my opinion. Comparisons are not something I have done yet, and they're difficult because different head units are good for different things. The apps are also something that I intend on doing soon. Thanks for your sub :)
few things you didnt cover. what is the startup time? does this have a 2 or 3 way dsp option for running active components? is it only canbus or can it also run J1850 vehicle data? how many nits does the display have?
Good review, however a few basics missing, hands free calling/answer, voice control (Hey google take me home etc) hmmm or maybe I am expedting to much and need to see your other vids. :)
Can somebody help me how to connect the teyes cc2 plus to my fiat 500 from 2008? Or what iso harnes do i need to use . Because i tried it with a few different cables and it didn’t worked…. Need help, please!
Another great vid and really like the look of this! I have a Saab Dame and keen to put a clean unit like this but one that offers apple car play. Could you recommend the best unit for said flush fitment for a dame? Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Great Video , i'm thinking about buying the CC3 version ,but wanted to know if IMPORT DUTY will be added on top of the shipping costs , as it appears to come from Australia
Hi, great informative video. I'm looking for a CC2 Plus but can only see a 3GB/32G version online. Can you remember where you purchased yours? If I can't find one I will probably go for an ATOTO S8 Standard. Many thanks and keep the videos coming
Very meaningful and good video! I will buy this Teyes CC2 PLUS. I have a Saab 9-3 sedan from 2006. What integrated speakers do you recommend here and a set of cameras? Thanks in advance!
Great video and it looks like the CC2 Plus is a great head unit! Do you know where I can purchase the head unit only in the US? Everything I search seems to want to sell it for a specific vehicle. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
Unit looks good Stu! nice clean install, almost looks stock, little more amber in the color scheme to match the SID... Question; does the unit support nightpanel?
@@SaabUnleashed That's a shame, most aftwermarket unit makers probably never even heard or seen the brilliance of nightpanel, given the amount of discolight headunits available... Do you know if there are any head units with a screen off function? Pressing two buttons is still easy enough to be able to ride in the dark.
@@SaabUnleashed would be great to see a video discussing the display brightness settings of head units. Do they have adaptive brightness settings or simple screen off buttons? Thanks for all great reviews - trying to work out what to put into my 9-3 convertible this or the Idoing.
Thanks for this video, however you didn't mention that you get an external mic but there is nowhere to plug it in, I have not long ago got a 9in version of the Teyes CC2 Plus
Great video but I'd like some more info please. Are you able to install apps off playstore? Does the built in media/music player play back wav flac dsd etc music files? Are the rca cables or any others extra money or is there a kit where everything is included, DAB tuner aerial etc etc. Cheers
A great channel for Saab enthusiasts! 👌Which Iphone 11 compatible multimedia device do you recommend for Saab 9-5? The Saab is a 1998 model. The device should be connected to the existing AS3 system (Harman Kardon).
I see a Q factor on the bottom of the eq. Also the eq bands look like you can change the frequencies to a different value if you so desire, is this correct?
Thank you for the prompt response, and I apologize for not looking for the link. How can I tell if it would fit in my 2007 Pontiac Solstice? Thanks again. This sounds like the top of the line unit.
Hello, and thanks for all the great information you are giving us 👍.

Currently own a 2016(maybe 15) chrysler town and country. The main unit will flip down to access a DVD player which we use for our kids. Any recommendations that will allow us to continue using the DVD functionality.
Does the CC2Plus OBD2 monitoring feature only work with T'Eyes branded OBD2 reader or can other 3rd party bluetooth OBD2 readers connect to the CC2Plus as well?
Thanks Stuart, looks like the CC3 has QLED Which is better than ISP? Also where is the best place to get facia to suit cars - I'm having trouble getting the facia for Honda odyssey rb3 2009 (Australia) So far I've found UGAR but their facia still leaves a gap. I prob should stick to the OEM 7" but this CC3 looks like it's worth the hassle
Thanks, this was helpful. I've appreciated your videos as I shop for an Android Head unit. I have a 1992 Honda Prelude - in excellent condition and only 95000 kilometers on the clock. The CC3 with the 9 inch screen would be too big for the Prelude. But the CC2 will fit well. Do you know if T'Eyes is bring out the CC3 in 7 inch? Would it be worth waiting for? Thanks again.
Great vid.... Ive a 9-3 ttid soft top on a 10 plate and fancy one of these. Is the correct fitting kit the same one you linked to in your CC3 vid? Cheers and keep up the great mods and movies.
Good video again. I didn't see a cage in the box, but did see the little brackets that come with these smaller double din units. Did you mount it to a pre-existing cage? Easy enough to fit I assume.
I want to buy one. But can someone please explain to me can stock speakers be wired into this head unit directly. Or does it need a separate amp. My speakers have a peak RMS of 30w.
YO. THE FAQ ON THE TEYES WEBSITE SAYS THE CC2/CC2+ *DOES NOT* COME WITH APPLE CARPLAY OR ANDROID AUTO! READ THEIR FAQ. If you guys want to use CP or AA, you’ll need to buy a $91 adapter for this thing.
That's actually only partially true but does highlight a mistake and something that I forgot to mention in the video. Android Auto is not there out of the box, but you don't need to buy anything - you just need to install the Carlink APP from the Teyes website. You are right about CarPlay though, I got too used to lumping the two technologies together. Edits incoming. Apologies for the oversight, I installed it months ago and forgot about this. I have updated the video description with the link to Carlink
That being said, if you want to add carplay you just need to get an adaptor (like carlinkit)? It’s just unfortunate that it does not come with CP out of the box like the cc3 does. Can’t find any unit with such great interface like teyes.
@@SaabUnleashed how does one go about installing the Carlink APP from the Teyes site? I assume the unit needs to be connected to the internet but is that possible over Wifi? Thanks for the good info.
Hey, great videos. Been watching your Teyes CC3 videos as I got a CC3 too. The NavRadio app you show on this CC2 looks really good compared to the boring Teyes one. Do you know if this NavRadio app works on the CC3? if so is there an option to replace the default radio app on the CC3 so that the Teyes knows the new Radio player? Also, the NavRadio, is it the Plus or normal version you have? Do you have link to APK?
@Saab Unleashed Hi Stuart, i found your channel 2 or 3 months ago and have really enjoyed watching your videos, mostly on android head units and associated tech, i was so impressed that i decided to initially buy an Atoto but found it too deep to fit my car so i returned it. So then i bought a Teyes CC2plus to fit my car including dash frame etc. The unit actually installed fairly easily even the the unit was for a left hand drive car and did need modifying to fit. However, i have been having lots of issues trying to get things working on the unit and have to say it is getting frustrating to say the least, i was wondering if you would be able to offer any assistance as you seem to have got your head around fitting them. I have followed the vids that you have made already and still no joy : ( I do hope you are able to help.
Thanks for your reviews this is brilliant work! Can you or anyone else comment on the shipping, should I be expecting import tax for delivery to the UK?
Hi, I really like all your videos! If I understand well for a SAAB 93 2007 I will need a cage, facia and CAN decoder, Right? Also what model should I take from Teyes? There is so many model but none for SAAB, the Universal then ? They are also selling CAN decoder but again nothing for SAAB, should I take the Connect2 deccoder then? Thanks a lot for your very informative channel!
Looking more carefully at the T'eyes web site, I saw that only the Universal version is 7in and has no dedicaced facia. Other question, can the unit pickup XM radio stations? I saw that other brands pickup the XM stations with their GPS antenna but I don't know if the CC2 can do the same. Thanks!
So it doesn’t come bundled with the iso harness and you have to buy this separately. Why don’t you make this clear? Why on earth manufacturers think this is acceptable is beyond me.
More than likely due to being aimed at thee USA market and they live in a crazy world where splicing individual wires is required by default. I have moaned about this when reviewing other head units (and I probably should have done here too), but in my opinion, the Teyes makes up for it by being an actual quality product
Teyes spealize in making and android oem replacement. That same model for my car looks diffrent based on dash. The unit pretty much is built around a kit for your vehicle
Just a quick question about the RCA outs I have a 2005 Saab 9-5 Areo and know that the original system uses a amp under the passenger seat and we have had many a chat on the Saab sites about people changing the headunit and getting no sound as they forgot/didn't realize about plugging in the RCA to the amp. With this unit not having that how would it work ? As a side from this looks perfect for the Saab's cheers Steven
Generic Android headunit question - I have to log in to my Android accounts to use this, yes? What prevents someone who steals my car or my headunit from having access to all my accounts?
Just stumbled on your channel, love to see so much insight on these units. I have a quick question. I have a honda civic FD (8th gen) right hand drive, the shipping to get it to where i am is like x100 higher on aliexpress. Any alternative site where i can buy it?
Hey bud, just so you are aware aloexpress sell similar looking head units but NOT with the Teyes software or components… you’re better off buying directly from Teyes
You'll likely not hear any difference between this and Pioneer because of the good level of control the Teyes gives you over the audio. Pioneer will be louder though
Hi Stuart, loving your work young sir - looking to install one of these in my 2009 9-3 but a quick question re reliability - I've looked at Xtrons in the past but been put off by lots of recorded issues and the lack of customer support in the UK, can't find anything like as many negative reviews of Teyes stuff, but do you have any background stuff that you haven't been able to put out there yet?
Not really. The only gripe I have with Teyes is that with the CC3 360 cam kit, they haven't released an update for it. Other than that, all three Teyes installs I've done are still working as they did when I first installed them
One more question my man! I can't seem to get my Bluetooth tether hotspot working, is it something that usually functions? The WiFi hotspot uses so much battery power, would be cool to use the Bluetooth tether
Does someone knows how the screen luminosity configuration works with this unit ? Does it has a captor ? Does it get the "illumination" signal from the car ?
@@SaabUnleashed OK thank you for your fast response, and the luminosity with illumination signal can be configured ? It is not too bright even at minimum ? I said it because I bought a Alpine W650BT and installed it in my 2002 SAAB 9-5 and I find the screen really too bright in the night in comparison of the dashboard, even at minimum brightness setting. On top of that the key colors can't be changed....
Bluetooth? That's an ancient way of listening to music these days, especially on a smart device like this! But to answer your question, it does hibernate and resumes the last action very quickly
hi, I need a android head unit with a "tablet" oversized screen recommendation for an offroad jeep. So I need a unit that the attachment for the tablet screen part is rugged or built well. I don't go offroading that much and I drive slow but I want to make sure I don't buy one that will break the 1st time I'm on a dirt road. Thank you so much for your help and your channel.
I've got a Saab mk2 face-lift 9-3 2008 Aero Estate and I have just received my Teyes CC2+ from Australia, it arrived pretty quickly considering, ordered on 28/6/22 and arrived 7/7/22 so all in all, very happy. I purchased the following from Teyes aswell. Bluetooth microphone RCA harness for future upgrades DAB + USB adapter. I have also got seperatly the connects 2 facia kit. Am I right in thinking stuart that I WON'T need an adapter for the steering wheel controls? As the unit already has these and should be plug and play.
@@SaabUnleashed OK cool, I've just checked everything and the ISO lead they sent must be wrong, as the plugs from the saab unit are completely different? Nothing fits or connects. Do I have to purchase a separate ISO lead elsewhere or does it have to be specifically for the Teyes CC2 plus and from Teyes themselves
That back fan can start to make noise over time and gather dust :/ I'd prefer a passive cooler. And those 4GB won't get short over time and so the device gets slower? Between this device and the ATOTO F7, which one would you recommend? Thanks.
The fan is optional, it isn't actually required to keep it cool. It actually comes disconnected anyway. 4gb is plenty and speed is more about the CPU which is great. The Atoto F7 is not a comparable unit because it is not Android.
@@SaabUnleashed but if it's there, I would say it's necessary 🤷 The Teyes model is also more expansive. Anyways, which one would you go for to install on a VW Golf 5? Thanks.
@@topz1067 If you're just after Android Auto / CarPlay, the Atoto S7 will do the job. The Teyes is probably the best possible option if you want a 7 inch Android based head unit. The nearest ATOTO would be the S8 Premium.
@@SaabUnleashed Yeah, it does. That's the hardest thing to find along with those other features. My car doesn't have SWC and the stereo needs to fit exactly into a double din opening. I have a 2000 Civic and want a knob and to still have my vents open and my A/C controls available. It's a total pain shopping for stereos... Thanks for replying, though!
@@jsk2276 Check out this one that he's reviewed since this one was posted. Not sure about rear USB, but it has a knob. I'm thinking about this unit. ua-cam.com/video/bYfup27ZX1Q/v-deo.html
I bought an underseat subwoofer to go with this, they are on the way. Now I'm not sure if I can connect the subwoofer to this! Is there a way to do it? It has RCA cables
I'm looking to install in a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500. It's a double DIN stock radio, but with these units does it make a difference whether you use a single or double DIN in the dash? Thanks.
If you only want Android Auto, you can pretty much go for anything because it's just going to stream apps from your phone, you don't need anything powerful. It would be a waste to buy this Teyes and then just use Android Auto as it is a very powerful head unit and therefore more expensive. DAB can be easily installed on whatever head unit you decide
Hi, love your content by the way .I purchased the 7in CC2Plus a month ago. It arrived in goot time and I did a basic install into my car (connected it up and installed the GPS antenna). My plan was to test it out befor I started cutting the dash panels (I have a 65 plate Citroen C3 with satnav, that the screen died on) as Teyes does not do an install kit for the C3. But have now have issues with the system. Firstly, since install the FM reception has been great for around 10 mins from first power on but then the system starts loosing reception. This is on all stations. Secondly even though the GPS antenna is installed on the side of the windscreen after a while that also looses reception and keeps popping up GPS errors. Do you have any Ideas? Mike.
Hi mikejsoames1996 Have you made any progress with your cc2 plus?, I'm sort of in a similar situation, i bought the c2 plus for my Citroën C4 2011 I connected it up with the cables, canbus decoder and frame that it came with, however, even after watching Stuarts video on cc2 and cc3 and trying various things, like you various aspects of the unit aren't working as they should. I find the teyes instructions aren't particularly good and even though I followed them I'm no further on really than I was. I'm not particularly in a rush to sort it because parts of it are working, so I don't want to rush into doing anything that will harm the unit or the car. I would be interested to know if you have made any progress 😊
@@mikejsoames1996 I have to say I don't blame her, I have watched various vids on it being installed and no one seems to be having these same issues, I was hoping that maybe I could ask Stuart from @SaabUnleashed if he could give any pointers as he seems to be well versed at fitting these head units, I don't know whether he would reply. Oh what a shame, they do look good when they are working properly!!!!. Thanks Chris 😊
Hi mate, I am just wondering, as a fellow Saab driver - did you install this head unit to the factory sound system? Which one is it, AS1 (Popular), AS2 (Premium) or AS3 (Prestige - Harman/Kardon)? My biggest concern is, that factory unit uses balanced, low voltage outputs to the factory amplifier, connecting an aftermarket unit to the standard wiring loom carries a risk of damaging the amplifier, or best case scenario - just poor sound quality. Is there any option to change the output level of this head unit? I seriously consider buying one for my 9-5, but I want it to work with factory Harman/Kardon and it’s 9 speaker setup, if possible, without compromising the sound quality. Very good review, cheers mate 👍
I just got a CC2plus. Tested on SAAB 9-5 year 2001. Unfortunately the sent me a Russian language unit, don’t know how to change language to start with. Also I try to connect the key1 to the blue wire of the SID but the steering control doesn’t work. Can I connect key1 and key2 direct to the bus wires at the top audio plug?
Their CS will tell you how to change the language, it'll be easy. Steering controls won't work until you teach the head unit which buttons to use, which you won't be able to do until you've changed the language
Another great review of a fabulous product, thanks Stuart 👍 I really enjoy your no biased unsponsored reviews .
Yeah. Chap is on the ball esp with these units. they truly are great value and excellent quality.
Hey man, which is the best 7" unit in your opinion? Teyes cc2 plus or ATOTO S8 ULTRA?

in your opinon whats the best option for what you described here ?
It looks like you could just add it, or it may not be needed. It is already android.
yeah, I was about to pull the trigger on the CC2+ but am now choosing betwen it's better display or the XTRONS TIQ702L's CarPlay.
@@Simon555 XTRONS TIQ702L is overpriced and the screen is not as nice, but it has wireless CarPlay and AA.

You can wire the speakers directly
i want teyes software with joying hardware
PS: i really don’t like those buttons on the left side of the screen
YO. THE FAQ ON THE TEYES WEBSITE SAYS THE CC2/CC2+ *DOES NOT* COME WITH APPLE CARPLAY OR ANDROID AUTO! READ THEIR FAQ.
If you guys want to use CP or AA, you’ll need to buy a $91 adapter for this thing.
That's actually only partially true but does highlight a mistake and something that I forgot to mention in the video. Android Auto is not there out of the box, but you don't need to buy anything - you just need to install the Carlink APP from the Teyes website. You are right about CarPlay though, I got too used to lumping the two technologies together. Edits incoming. Apologies for the oversight, I installed it months ago and forgot about this. I have updated the video description with the link to Carlink
That being said, if you want to add carplay you just need to get an adaptor (like carlinkit)?
It’s just unfortunate that it does not come with CP out of the box like the cc3 does.
Can’t find any unit with such great interface like teyes.
@@SaabUnleashed how does one go about installing the Carlink APP from the Teyes site? I assume the unit needs to be connected to the internet but is that possible over Wifi? Thanks for the good info.
Hey, great videos. Been watching your Teyes CC3 videos as I got a CC3 too. The NavRadio app you show on this CC2 looks really good compared to the boring Teyes one. Do you know if this NavRadio app works on the CC3? if so is there an option to replace the default radio app on the CC3 so that the Teyes knows the new Radio player? Also, the NavRadio, is it the Plus or normal version you have? Do you have link to APK?
@Saab Unleashed Hi Stuart, i found your channel 2 or 3 months ago and have really enjoyed watching your videos, mostly on android head units and associated tech, i was so impressed that i decided to initially buy an Atoto but found it too deep to fit my car so i returned it. So then i bought a Teyes CC2plus to fit my car including dash frame etc. The unit actually installed fairly easily even the the unit was for a left hand drive car and did need modifying to fit. However, i have been having lots of issues trying to get things working on the unit and have to say it is getting frustrating to say the least, i was wondering if you would be able to offer any assistance as you seem to have got your head around fitting them. I have followed the vids that you have made already and still no joy : ( I do hope you are able to help.
How much is this unit
Thanks for your reviews this is brilliant work! Can you or anyone else comment on the shipping, should I be expecting import tax for delivery to the UK?
I have never had to pay import tax ect for a Chinese head unit. Not yet, anyway :)
@@SaabUnleashed thank you very much! have you been ordering from their website?
Which model of teyes is latest released cc2 cc3 or spro plus?? Confused 😕 😕
The CC3 plus is the latest, it's just been released
Hi, I really like all your videos! If I understand well for a SAAB 93 2007 I will need a cage, facia and CAN decoder, Right? Also what model should I take from Teyes? There is so many model but none for SAAB, the Universal then ? They are also selling CAN decoder but again nothing for SAAB, should I take the Connect2 deccoder then? Thanks a lot for your very informative channel!
Looking more carefully at the T'eyes web site, I saw that only the Universal version is 7in and has no dedicaced facia. Other question, can the unit pickup XM radio stations? I saw that other brands pickup the XM stations with their GPS antenna but I don't know if the CC2 can do the same. Thanks!
So it doesn’t come bundled with the iso harness and you have to buy this separately. Why don’t you make this clear? Why on earth manufacturers think this is acceptable is beyond me.
More than likely due to being aimed at thee USA market and they live in a crazy world where splicing individual wires is required by default. I have moaned about this when reviewing other head units (and I probably should have done here too), but in my opinion, the Teyes makes up for it by being an actual quality product
Nice review, is there an aption to add dab to this unit or is the internet radio good enough?
You can plug in a DAB adaptor and get digital radio
Great review! Would this fit the double-din-slot of a SAAB 9-3 from 2000 (old generation)?
Teyes spealize in making and android oem replacement. That same model for my car looks diffrent based on dash. The unit pretty much is built around a kit for your vehicle
Just a quick question about the RCA outs I have a 2005 Saab 9-5 Areo and know that the original system uses a amp under the passenger seat and we have had many a chat on the Saab sites about people changing the headunit and getting no sound as they forgot/didn't realize about plugging in the RCA to the amp. With this unit not having that how would it work ? As a side from this looks perfect for the Saab's cheers Steven
You don't have to use RCAs. But the Teyes does actually come with them if you ask them
Generic Android headunit question - I have to log in to my Android accounts to use this, yes? What prevents someone who steals my car or my headunit from having access to all my accounts?
My advice has always been to never use your main Google account to log into an Android Head Unit. Use one just for your car.
Thanks for uploading. Is the Apple CarPlay wireless on this model?
Not on this model
Just stumbled on your channel, love to see so much insight on these units. I have a quick question. I have a honda civic FD (8th gen) right hand drive, the shipping to get it to where i am is like x100 higher on aliexpress. Any alternative site where i can buy it?
Yes, try teyes.uk
Hey bud, just so you are aware aloexpress sell similar looking head units but NOT with the Teyes software or components… you’re better off buying directly from Teyes
Hi anyone know how to get Apple car play on this?
Can i know how is the Sound Quality compared v Pioneer units?
You'll likely not hear any difference between this and Pioneer because of the good level of control the Teyes gives you over the audio. Pioneer will be louder though
Hi Stuart, loving your work young sir - looking to install one of these in my 2009 9-3 but a quick question re reliability - I've looked at Xtrons in the past but been put off by lots of recorded issues and the lack of customer support in the UK, can't find anything like as many negative reviews of Teyes stuff, but do you have any background stuff that you haven't been able to put out there yet?
Not really. The only gripe I have with Teyes is that with the CC3 360 cam kit, they haven't released an update for it. Other than that, all three Teyes installs I've done are still working as they did when I first installed them
@@SaabUnleashed Thank you young sir - I assume you don't mind me mentioning that I saw them first on your channel when I speak to Teyes?
@@tomrussell7225 by all means!
Will this be ok with the A3 system on a 2003 Saab 9-5 with sub.
Yep, any head unit would be.
One more question my man!
I can't seem to get my Bluetooth tether hotspot working, is it something that usually functions? The WiFi hotspot uses so much battery power, would be cool to use the Bluetooth tether
Have you had any luck, i cant get it to work either.
Hey question, does it have android auto wireless/ wired and apple car play? Thanks
It has wired Android Auto and no CarPlay
Does someone knows how the screen luminosity configuration works with this unit ? Does it has a captor ? Does it get the "illumination" signal from the car ?
It has a "illumination" wire like most Android units
@@SaabUnleashed OK thank you for your fast response, and the luminosity with illumination signal can be configured ?
It is not too bright even at minimum ?
I said it because I bought a Alpine W650BT and installed it in my 2002 SAAB 9-5 and I find the screen really too bright in the night in comparison of the dashboard, even at minimum brightness setting.
On top of that the key colors can't be changed....
How do you get the weather at the top?
It's one of the dashboards with added widgets
Can it be purchased from other than Alibaba or Ali Express? Thanks
Yes. You can purchase it from the links I provided in the video description, it's an Australian based retailer who ships worldwide
Does it work with OEM amps like Boston acoustics system?
Yes
Great video
How long does it take to start playing songs via Bluetooth after you start a car?
Does it hibernate?
Bluetooth? That's an ancient way of listening to music these days, especially on a smart device like this! But to answer your question, it does hibernate and resumes the last action very quickly
hi, I need a android head unit with a "tablet" oversized screen recommendation for an offroad jeep. So I need a unit that the attachment for the tablet screen part is rugged or built well. I don't go offroading that much and I drive slow but I want to make sure I don't buy one that will break the 1st time I'm on a dirt road. Thank you so much for your help and your channel.
Look at Dasaita, they have a very strong metal bracket
@@SaabUnleashed thanks so much :)
I've got a Saab mk2 face-lift 9-3 2008 Aero Estate and I have just received my Teyes CC2+ from Australia, it arrived pretty quickly considering, ordered on 28/6/22 and arrived 7/7/22 so all in all, very happy.
I purchased the following from Teyes aswell.
Bluetooth microphone
RCA harness for future upgrades
DAB + USB adapter.
I have also got seperatly the connects 2 facia kit.
Am I right in thinking stuart that I WON'T need an adapter for the steering wheel controls? As the unit already has these and should be plug and play.
Hey Daren, you will still need the steering wheel canbus decoder
@@SaabUnleashed Hi Stuart, ok I wasn't sure, was it the connects 2 Canbus decoder I need, the same as the one in the XTRONS video you did?
@@daren4695 it is indeed
@@SaabUnleashed OK cool, I've just checked everything and the ISO lead they sent must be wrong, as the plugs from the saab unit are completely different? Nothing fits or connects. Do I have to purchase a separate ISO lead elsewhere or does it have to be specifically for the Teyes CC2 plus and from Teyes themselves
@@SaabUnleashed thanks for the quick reply Stuart.
That back fan can start to make noise over time and gather dust :/ I'd prefer a passive cooler. And those 4GB won't get short over time and so the device gets slower? Between this device and the ATOTO F7, which one would you recommend? Thanks.
The fan is optional, it isn't actually required to keep it cool. It actually comes disconnected anyway. 4gb is plenty and speed is more about the CPU which is great. The Atoto F7 is not a comparable unit because it is not Android.
@@SaabUnleashed but if it's there, I would say it's necessary 🤷
The Teyes model is also more expansive.
Anyways, which one would you go for to install on a VW Golf 5?
Thanks.
@@topz1067 If you're just after Android Auto / CarPlay, the Atoto S7 will do the job. The Teyes is probably the best possible option if you want a 7 inch Android based head unit. The nearest ATOTO would be the S8 Premium.
Can you review a nice head unit with a volume knob and wired android auto that has a rear USB? That's my dream headunit and I struggle to find one
Oh and like a normal double din size opening
Does it have to be a knob? The ATOTOs have physical volume buttons under the screen. I reviewed an Ousmin with a volume knob and Android Auto
@@SaabUnleashed Yeah, it does. That's the hardest thing to find along with those other features. My car doesn't have SWC and the stereo needs to fit exactly into a double din opening. I have a 2000 Civic and want a knob and to still have my vents open and my A/C controls available. It's a total pain shopping for stereos... Thanks for replying, though!
@@jsk2276 Check out this one that he's reviewed since this one was posted. Not sure about rear USB, but it has a knob. I'm thinking about this unit. ua-cam.com/video/bYfup27ZX1Q/v-deo.html
Out of interest, how are you finding the cc3 holding up, has the trim stood up to use? Thanks.
Yeah it's brilliant
Possible to connect 360 camera
No, that's only on the CC3
Can i get one of these for my saab in the U.S?
Yes, Saabs don't change worldwide
I bought an underseat subwoofer to go with this, they are on the way. Now I'm not sure if I can connect the subwoofer to this! Is there a way to do it? It has RCA cables
You'll need to order the RCA loom
Thankyou!
I'm looking to install in a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500. It's a double DIN stock radio, but with these units does it make a difference whether you use a single or double DIN in the dash? Thanks.
No difference other than the size of the hole you have to play with in your dash
@@SaabUnleashed Thank you
This, or xtrons 2gb want android auto and dab..
Thanks man
If you only want Android Auto, you can pretty much go for anything because it's just going to stream apps from your phone, you don't need anything powerful. It would be a waste to buy this Teyes and then just use Android Auto as it is a very powerful head unit and therefore more expensive. DAB can be easily installed on whatever head unit you decide
Hi, love your content by the way .I purchased the 7in CC2Plus a month ago. It arrived in goot time and I did a basic install into my car (connected it up and installed the GPS antenna). My plan was to test it out befor I started cutting the dash panels (I have a 65 plate Citroen C3 with satnav, that the screen died on) as Teyes does not do an install kit for the C3. But have now have issues with the system. Firstly, since install the FM reception has been great for around 10 mins from first power on but then the system starts loosing reception. This is on all stations. Secondly even though the GPS antenna is installed on the side of the windscreen after a while that also looses reception and keeps popping up GPS errors. Do you have any Ideas?
Mike.
Hi mikejsoames1996
Have you made any progress with your cc2 plus?, I'm sort of in a similar situation, i bought the c2 plus for my Citroën C4 2011 I connected it up with the cables, canbus decoder and frame that it came with, however, even after watching Stuarts video on cc2 and cc3 and trying various things, like you various aspects of the unit aren't working as they should. I find the teyes instructions aren't particularly good and even though I followed them I'm no further on really than I was. I'm not particularly in a rush to sort it because parts of it are working, so I don't want to rush into doing anything that will harm the unit or the car. I would be interested to know if you have made any progress 😊
@@chrisdixon849 in the end I sent it back as it was for the wife's car. She lost confidence in it.
@@mikejsoames1996 I have to say I don't blame her, I have watched various vids on it being installed and no one seems to be having these same issues, I was hoping that maybe I could ask Stuart from @SaabUnleashed if he could give any pointers as he seems to be well versed at fitting these head units, I don't know whether he would reply. Oh what a shame, they do look good when they are working properly!!!!. Thanks Chris 😊
Hi mate,
I am just wondering, as a fellow Saab driver - did you install this head unit to the factory sound system? Which one is it, AS1 (Popular), AS2 (Premium) or AS3 (Prestige - Harman/Kardon)? My biggest concern is, that factory unit uses balanced, low voltage outputs to the factory amplifier, connecting an aftermarket unit to the standard wiring loom carries a risk of damaging the amplifier, or best case scenario - just poor sound quality. Is there any option to change the output level of this head unit? I seriously consider buying one for my 9-5, but I want it to work with factory Harman/Kardon and it’s 9 speaker setup, if possible, without compromising the sound quality.
Very good review, cheers mate 👍
just use a ground loop isolator between the lineout of the headunit and the HK Amplifier. I did it with my Alpine 2DIN and it's all fine
@@dracaufi do you have a link?
@@Roscoep3 Amazon -> Ground Loop Isolator ;)
@@dracaufi thanks did you buy 2 for each RCA pairing?
@@Roscoep3 yes, one for the front pair and one for the rear pair :)
I just got a CC2plus. Tested on SAAB 9-5 year 2001. Unfortunately the sent me a Russian language unit, don’t know how to change language to start with. Also I try to connect the key1 to the blue wire of the SID but the steering control doesn’t work. Can I connect key1 and key2 direct to the bus wires at the top audio plug?
Their CS will tell you how to change the language, it'll be easy.
Steering controls won't work until you teach the head unit which buttons to use, which you won't be able to do until you've changed the language
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks, I try to contact customer support but seems to take couple days for them to replay.
@@tngcong229 I assume you didn't buy it from the Australian retailer then
@@SaabUnleashed I ordered from Australia but they shipped from Hong Kong.
They even charged me AU$.
Does it have dab?
Every Android head unit has DAB. You just add the DAB USB adaptor.
