You need to verify your settings in the menu that requires a passcode 3368. Make sure you select the appropriate camera system you have (either rear only or 360). There should be a few options are there (like 360 switch or single 360). Play with those settings. Also there a “switch backup camera” with two options… check that too.

For example, I have rear camera only and the 360 switch is off, also single 360 if off, and the switch backup camera is set to default (not the 360).

If that doesn’t work, I will suspect a bad connection.

I appreciate the replies. Fixed the camera and steering wheel issue. Pass code for mine was 8888 - had to change the video source. The steering wheel was set to the PCM 3.1. Had to hold the phone button for 15 seconds and it switched it to the other one, fixing that issue as well. Apparently the OEM USB isn't supported, so I just got a low-profile high-powered 12v charger. With wireless Android auto no need to connect to the head unit.

Hmmm.. so your unit isn’t FYT then? And by looking at your unit’s rear connections, they don’t look anything like mine. Can you post a photo of your unit, how it looks installed?

In any case, I’m glad that this worked for you.

What magsafe charger is that?

I bought it from some guy in Etsy, who 3D-printed them. It looks nice, but I don't recommend it. The material used for the printing shrinks when exposed to heat... so even though it was a snug fit when I originally bought it, now after having the car parked under the sun a couple of days last summer, the whole thing has quite some play -- not around the MagSafe unit, but around the non-smoker slot in the console.

In case you're still interested:

Hey guys, I found the 12.3 unit for 561 on Ali express. I asked what the manufacturer was and they replied with this : Hello, the resolution is 1920*720, the CPU is UIS78672s, and the manufacturer is DaoH.

it’s not fyt or top? Or are they giving a different manufacturer name? It looks like fyt 1 With the vents. Here’s the link

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.

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

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.
