Thanks for your reply, to be honest, I was looking at getting the 4G 64GB spec, the car your put the head unit in, does it have the ML set up and the sat nav and reversing camera? Thanks

Hi all, I have been thinking about upgrading the head unit in my 2008 SEL, I have been looking at the Teyes cc3 2k unit, but I have recently come across a system called Drive Connect Ultra There has been a lot of content regarding the Teyes, but I haven't seen much on the Drive Connect Ultra system, I have looked at a couple Youtube videos on it, those that have them seem to be very pleased with the system, but they have been fitted to a non nav unit without the reversing camera and ML audio spec, has anyone fitted one of these with the the nav and ML system? Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated. Here is the link to the unit, it is also available on Aliexpress.

I have had the red ones on my car for 3 years, 1st mod I did to the car, I have never had a problem with MOT, hope this helps.

Changed mine just before car turned 100k miles, to be fair, the old ones didn't look too bad either. I think this was the first time they had been charged, as I couldn't see any paperwork to say any different.

Same here, it looks a like a great unit, still waiting for Teyes to get back to me, they wanted a picture my current dash, something to do with the button layout. The rear camera will be so much better than the factory installed one.

Thank you for your reply, I have emailed them with a few questions, waiting for their reply, hopefully they will answer them all.

Thank you for your reply, I have emailed Teyes with a few questions, just waiting for their reply.

Good evening all I have been reading through this thread, I am interested in the Teyes CCS head unit, looks a really nice piece of kit, has anyone fitted one of these in their car that has the sat nav, rear camera and the ML sound system, does the factory rear camera still function? Or is it replaced by head unit? My car is a 2008 is250 SEL. Thanks Paul

Not sure if this will help anyone? But I have just called my local Lexus dealer to ask if they could give me the exact build date and not when the car registered for my2008 is250, my car was registered on 01/03/2008, but was built on the 21/01/2008, the reason I asked was because of the new E10 greener petrol slowly being introduced, I was a bit concerned that my car was built in 2007, therefore incompatible to take the new fuel. So if you are not sure, give your local dealer a call for the information, they only needed my reg number to find out the details of my car. Hope this helps Paul

Sorry for the late response, I had my car serviced yesterday, and while it was being serviced, I asked the mechanic to do voltage and drop test on the battery, turns out the alternator is fine, but the drop was reading that the battery is weak, he thinks that one of the cells is faulty. Luckily the battery is still under warranty, runs out on the 16th Sept this year.

Hi Colin Thanks for for the compliment, they are easy to fit, also plug and play, and I have had no issues with them, but I did keep the old ones just as a precaution, you won't be disappointed with them, they really give the car the modern look. I will post a daytime shot shortly. Paul

I have a mate who has a volt meter, will get him to check the battery for me. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the advice, trying to do all of that in between the showers 😀

Came back to my car (2008 is250 SEL) last night after a meal out, but the car wouldn't start, strange thing was, had the green light on the ignition button, but nothing else, managed to jump start it and get it home, tried it this morning and it started no problem, should I replace the battery? Or is it an alternator problem? I replaced the battery when I first got the car, that was just under 3 years ago, I still have 1 month left on the guarantee on this particular battery, so not sure whether to just get it replaced? Thanks

Welcome to the forum, as previously mentioned, there should be a sticker drivers side above the door catch, pic attached of mine.
