mep started following Teyes CC3 Android Head Unit and Beware Teyes for IS250, 220d and 200d
-
Having read many reviews of the Teyes Android system, and already owning a Teyes for a VW, August 2023 I purchased the specific dedicated unit for my 2012 IS200d. My car needed the fibre optic version because of the aircon. The unit arrived and all good. UNTIL RECENTLY! I noticed that the area around the Passenger warning light had become disfigured from over-heating, and then I noticed that the whole facia unit had come away from the rear. I have emailed repeatedly to Teyes Support but NIL response. So my message is, BEWARE!

Hi. I have to say that finding a Android unit with CarPlay is a nightmare, and through no cause of any of the manufacturer's suppliers. Impressed with my IS220d I upgraded 2013 to a IS200d with every option fitted. I am happy with the car except for 1 new injector at 65,000 miles and 4 new injectors at 80,000 miles. To Android and Teyes. Teyes certainly have the best head unit. I feel sorry for them though. Lexusahave used so many different combinations of head unit, ensuring the correct unit is supplied is ........ So. Depending on whether you have the factory fitted sat/nav or not, the sat/nav with fibre optic reversing camera. Then there's the version with fibre optic air/con. And even then there are additional permutations where you have a Mark Levenson audio unit. It is a friggin nightmare. Most suppliers ask you to look at the air/con screen and send them a photos so they can determine the correct model. Your model choice can also depend on the age of your Lexus. Earlier versions with sat/nav are different to later versions. Look for the raised buttons either side of your display screen. That's the older version. Later have flat smooth buttons. And then there's a whole raft of alternative going on behind the scenes. Teyes asked the same. Show us your air.con display. They told me Version A was the correct choice. WRONG! My best advice is carefully remove you existing unit, and take photographs of the complete rear showing ALL the connection ports. I have even included the factory labels. Go check out the photo's the manufacturers show on the websites. The number of permutations! This is why best to send YOUR photo's first. Good luck. Really p'eed off right now as unit arrived, can't install because wiring wrong and Teyes currently trying to figure out my wiring harness. Look at my photo's and then check out the different websites to give you an idea of how many versions there are that Lexus has fitted.

Hello. Dyslexix means all of the above are pretty confusing I am sorry to say and especially after all your efforts. I am having some help and so am currently looking to see if I can obtain a Power Source Control ECU. I hope eBay knows what I'm asking for. Do you know if any of these will cause my key fob to stop being recognised by the car? Right now it seems to work. I wouldn't want to spend money on something that then means I have yet another problem to solve. -

Hi Lagepddnin. Sad to say done all of this and more and still no response. Interesting that we are moving forward though. We now get the green light LED but No audio when pressing for the ignition and Orange LED. -

Hi Shahpor. I think i may have misled you by mistake. The ‘fuse’ being referred to is the long metal looking thing that’s in the box just in front of the battery. Looking at the lid and the ‘map’ of fuses, point to this ‘fuse’ being a multi-fuse that handles a lot of the main engine components. Glow plugs, audio, heating items. Martin -

Okay. Disconnected the new battery for 30 minutes and no change. I think it important to say that even though I now have the green LED, the steering lock does not disengage. I have an acquaintance that is telling me to look at the BIG fuse. Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause? And I ask especially as all other facilities, with the exception of the windows now appears to function. -

Hi. have now checked just about every connection possible in this car with a multi-meter. Clutch switched checked and confirmed okay amongst other things as well. I have now changed. Ignition Button, Ignition relay and drivers door courtesy switch. After a lot of talking I have installed a replacement brand new battery: AND WE HAVE A GREEN LIGHT IGNITION LED. But! Still the car refuses to kick in and turnover let alone start. As yet to try OBD or whatever it's called with a tester. Any further suggestions are welcome. -

Hi. Have already removed Clutch switch and tested with a volt meter. Switch works fine. Normally, without pressing clutch, just press the button, the ignition will come on to allow for radio etcetera. Pressing clutch pedal 'livens' the ignition for starting the car. Press the start button and dead. See las post from me about door switch please. -

Hi All again. I have replaced the Start button. No change. I have replaced red the Blue Ignition relay. No change. I have noticed that when the drivers door is open, the dash light does not indicate an open door. I open any other door and the dash red door light open indicator illuminates. Does the drivers door courtesy light switch do more than just put on the interior lights? -

Hi. Not aware of a sensor controlling the clutch switch. Is this different to the switch itself? -

Don't know as there's much else to try. According to the fact it's Easter and Covid and, and, and. It's going to be at least 12 days to get the part and then try it. I will report back. If anyone else has any other I dead I can try in the interim period I would still be grateful.
