Not sure if anyone ever helped with this but adjust your power conditioning settings in audio. I set mine to like 25 and turned my volume knob to just before you hear any background static and now my volume has to be set to around 20-25 for it to be a good amount of noise. Before, ten was too loud and I actually blew two speaker’s foam off lol

Has anyone noticed your car on Apple Maps or Google Maps that the avatar for your car flips around and basically goes haywire when you're sitting still at a light? Only after I start moving does it get its bearing right and not wig out.
I had to switch from using Apple Maps because it was slightly off. Example: when I was traveling down a road it would offset off the paved road, while Google map didnt do that. not sure if it's a function of the headunit or that of the app on the phone.

Well..... I installed the Soundstream Picasso Nano amp, Metra harness, etc, and I still have the most annoying constant high-frequency "eeeeeee" sound, as well as a slight fuzz. It's not crazy loud but noticeable when no music is playing, and the fact that it's still present is driving me crazy. I took out all the RCAs from the AMP, still happening, turned down all my gains, still happening. My only other thought is my power and ground amp wires aren't big enough (4.5mm/ 11gauge), my next step is to get an 8-gauge power and ground. My research is telling me its an amp issue, im just confused why the same setup has worked for others. Im stumped
Brian, I think I have the same thing you are describing. It's only noticeable with no sound on and the vehicle off. Once the engine is running the noise tends to muffle it. It hasn't bothered my much because I don't sit in the car without the engine running.
I have no original stereo components left, except the radio/head unit with tape deck.

Are you running the soundstream amp as well? My noise is noticeable even at idle or if I turn the sound off while I’m driving. Thought I was gonna have it fixed with the amp addition, it’s driving me crazy
I have the same amp on an '04 LC and no noise, ran 4 gauge for power and ground so perhaps that's the issue?
I’m gonna switch the amp wires with thicker gauge tomorrow. I’m hoping that’s the issue. Can’t pinpoint anything else since it’s worked for so many other people with the same setup.
I think I may have a faulty amp…. Tried bigger ground wire. No change. Unhooked everything from the amp besides the power and ground and used a test speaker to test the signal. Still had the same high frequency noise. That makes me think I have a faulty amp.

My T'Eyes is pretty garbage and I'd like to find an alternative. The Bluetooth doesn't work. The USB's no longer work. The HVAC works in that it performs the function but the screen doesn't reflect that it does; you just push the controls and it does what's input. I traded out the under seat amplifier. I can't set the volume above 9 or the sound cuts. This means that my music doesn't get loud enough to hear very well. Are there options? I can live with it but I really liked having an in-dash GPS, BT calls, and music.
I should've slowed my roll a little. It's back to functional in all but one way following a factory reset, downloading a software update, and installing some APK updates. I'm thrilled to have Android Auto back.
There's one remaining issue I hope someone here may have some knowledge about. The HVAC controls effectively control the HVAC (what a sentence). However, those changes are not reflected in the display. I have downloaded and installed the 4 APK update files. I set the vehicle through T'Eyes' app. The temperature constantly reads at 63.5F although I can confirm variability in temperature and AC when operated. The fan speed constantly reads 0 although it is functionally variable as well. The AC constantly reads "off" although it is functioning correctly.
This isn't the biggest deal. Honestly, I'm just elated that the thing works. If I could get this working though it would be awesome.
Are you using the Climate 100 app? That app recently received and update to fix that issue
Thank you so much. I haven't heard of this. I'm gonna get this kid in bed and go manically work on this while my wife worries about me lol.
Okay I downloaded and installed Climate 100. We're 90% there. Last night I tried to update the native climate controls by selecting the CANBUS vehicle type through the T'Eyes app and rebooting to get the snowflake. I repeated this multiple times and failed to get a snowflake. At one point I got the snowflake but pressing it did not open the climate controls. I rebooted multiple times. I also attempted to fix by factory reset. This failed to fix it.
With the Climate 100 I now have reliable climate controls which open every time. Devs, you should let me send you a bottle of Kentucky bourbon.
The Climate 100 still suffers from the same condition; the state is not reflected in the controls. It shows fan speed 0, temp fixed, etc. All of the controls cause changes so that's huge. I have even tried disconnecting the battery cable and eating dinner to see if that will reset the CANBUS box. I know at one point the CC3 did receive data from the CANBUS about the climate state but it has not shown it for quite some time.
Long story if we can't get it to display state it's really not a huge deal. Having Bluetooth, Android Auto, and apps for my daughter to watch are huge and all you can ask for. Thanks again to the Climate 100 Dvs for creating a reliable way to control that system. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the system to reflect the CANBUS data related to the state of the climate I'd love to hear it. Thank you all in advance.
Yeah, that's the update version of Climate 100. I assume you tried the "Old CAN".
All I can suggest is you try the various Toyota Landcruiser CANBUS settings in the T'Eyes unit. Maybe you just haven't found the correct one yet. A couple will allow the HVAC to function, but not register the changes on screen.
