Just got a dual for my Macan… I’ll be releasing a setup and in-depth review video in a couple of weeks..

 

Looks like you decided to do the upgrade! I remember you initially didn't think you wanted to.. look forward to your next video.

 

That looks like an fyt 7862(s) You may want to clarify that with the seller. I have just installed a Dual screen and will be selling my FYT shortly. PM me if interested.

Is the fyt7862

ill ask! Which is yours? I’d be interested I tried to send you a pm but for some reason it’s not going through

 

Hmm, maybe it’s your post count ? Not sure. I just sent you a PM, see if you get that .

 

Is this available with trim other than piano black?

Mine is RHD brushed aluminium. Would like it to be consistent.

 

Hi,
I’ve had this unit for a few months and it’s been great but yesterday the bass went out. The audio still works but any bass in a song is gone. I have a 2015 Macan S w/ the base audio system (No Bose) which I don’t think has a separate amplifier. I’ve tried to reset the equalizer and increase the bass with no success. Also the problem is both with the radio and apple car play. I wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and how I may be able to fix it. I hope it is a simple fuse but would appreciate help on where to look for this. Any help is appreciated.

 

Hello, I have the same problem with bass on the radio and in car play. My car is Macan '18 with PCM 4 . Have you solved your problem?

 

Hi,
I have problem with the phone microphone quality ...they don't hear me well ..do you have any suggestions. the microphone I have put it in the left side of the windscreen up ..

 

If you have an FYT.....I dont even think the EXT mic works. You need to use internal. Problem is, that one is bad as well. Unless you change the Mic, or check its position in the barrel.

 

It has been hit and miss with these units. I got lucky and mine was fine out of the box (internal mic), but others had problems.

 

The OEM mic is not in the steering wheel It is in the overhead control area.

 

Yes sorry you are right..😌Can this connect with this screen ?

 

any windescreen 12.3" can work with Burmeister and 360 Camera ?

 

You have pcm 3.1 ?

 

no, PCM 4

 

Yes, but make sure the vendor send you a MOST 150 Adaptor..........NOT MOST 25, which is PCM 3.1

 

looks Great!

 

I'm going crazy with my unit, I bought a unit on aliexpress (I don't know the brand...) my car is a 2016 Macan with stock PCM 3.1, no BOSE equipment or anything. The unit came to me with the typical MOST adapter, but in my wiring harness I don't see any connectors....
It works everything correctly (the radio turns on, I see the rear camera...) but no music or anything....

Any suggestions?

 

You won't need the MOST box at all if you don't have the fiber in the car or if that is still used then You forgot to move it from the quad connector.

 

You just don’t connect the converter. There should be rga cables coming out the radio then going to connectors of your Porsche. Upload a photo of your entire harness and we’ll tell you what to do. For example here’s mine. I have two sets of rga. One is if use the most converter box the other if I don’t

 

I've tried taking the box out and connecting the AUX cables directly but it doesn't work either....

 

I am not Familiar with the base audio system, but it seems the AMP is in thebacl of the car on the side/
Most of these 12.3 come with powered 4X48W as well..........

May need a car audio shop.......

 

I think by default the 12.3 unit is made to work with MOST fiber for audio out. As @Teddis mentioned if these have the built in amp you'll need to identify which pin outs are assocaited to the FrL/FrR/RearL/RearR speakers and then hook them up to the associated speakouts on the quad connector. Unfortunately, I do not know the wiring diagram of that in the non BOSE setup. I'm sure wiring diagrams exist online, but a car audio shop may be your best bet for that. They my even know offhand if they've done any base Macan setups before.

Looks like the speaker wires on the base system were identified... assuming your wires are the same then you would just need the corresponding pins on the back of the 12.3 for the mapping. If there is a stock amplifier in the location @Teddis mentioned then you need to check if those are taking high level inputs (speaker wire) or low level inputs (RCAs, maybe not) so you can get the right input to them. I suspect, based on the wiring that they take high level inputs and if you tap into the wires from the 2017 sound package post that should resolve your sound issue.

All just a guess from me, but maybe the information will point you / your audio shop in the right direction.

 

Thank you all for your help. I will definitely go to an audio shop, as this is already too complicated for my knowledge....
I was thinking that maybe what I need is a new wiring harness specifically for my audio base....

 

I just solved the problem thanks to a youtube video, the only thing I had to do was to splice the "AMP" wires....

Now my radio sounds!

 

Looks like you were just missing the power to the Macan AMP, great news you got that working. I didn't realize there were RCA connectors on the quad connector.

Does anyone have a link to the proper 3.1 US one to buy that doesn’t have that silly red sticker on it. So many on aliexpress but some of them have insane shipping costs

 

Did you try ACAR? Acarmultimedia.com. I bought some stuff from them and they have sent me some stuff to try.

 

Does anyone else have the 360 degree camera system? on mine the front / rear and drivers side work ok but the passenger side is just black? It was working fine before i installed this radio and if i understand well there is only one video cable going into the unit so i doubt its the unit itself that is bad. So either its some setting or a bug .... or coincidently either the radio or the car module itself has failed.

 

this is the issue I have,evidently it is working it just has a big box on the right that shouldn’t be there

 

I have seen that before in dual screens… the issue is not the black box, the issue is the position of the car graphic which should be within that box. All your cameras are working well. The car image is just off centered. In dual this was solved with a firmware update. But with 12.3” I’m not sure. Let me ask someone….

 

Thanks for the reply.. Your videos and help are really appreciated!!
Ps there’s no mention of DAB radio?? Is that not available?? (I’m in Uk)

 

No DAB. There is an app you may be able to use developed by a friend… here: DABdream - DAB/DAB+ Player for USB adapters
