LX470 2004 | Need help with Android Screen (23 Viewers)

[stubbs]

Making progress! So a few years ago I removed my dead navigation drive under the passenger seat and made these jumpers to allow audio to go to the front left speaker. IIRC the nav drive had an interrupt in it for that speaker only.

I must have bumped this while pulling into the OEM amp and backup computer, because I got audio out of the left front while playing with it. I don’t know if I’m missing something to control the left rear or if it’s been out for years and I’ve just never noticed.

Unfortunately, karma struck and I blew a fuse somewhere while playing with that same nav drive connector so I’ll have to track that down now. I might still just run new wiring if I can’t figure this out.

Here's my interpretation of the ML output to speakers. Looking at a few door pictures, I can kinda get an idea of the wiring diagram. My hunch is that the "centre" speaker is the 3" midrange, which seems to have its own feed from the ML amp, despite the diagram showing the tweeter on the circuit.

Excuse my poor contractions - the first 4 lines are for the front door speakers, ie each door has 2 x speaker wiring pairs.

• LF - left front x 2
• RF - right font x 2
• RL - rear left
• RR - rear right

Methinks an audio shop with the right gear would be able to narrow down the speaker wiring pretty quickly with the schematic in the attached PDF

got my rear speaker issue figured out. Ran temporary wires from amp to speaker, nada… then pulled the speaker out of the door and discovered that my connector behind it had somehow come loose over the past few years! Clearly I don’t sit in my own back seat much.

The only issue I’ve got left is the 5th channel for the sub! If I understand correctly there are 4 wires going to the sub, right? None are marked on my wiring kit but there are only 4 extras. However, this sound stream amp has a l+r RCA input for the 5th channel, which makes no sense to me and I don’t get sound out of my sub if I connect either one. I know the teyes sub output works because I can swap that RCA to a speaker position and I hear the filtered bass track.

Hi all, Is there a recommended version of this Teyes screen/radio for a 1999 LC?
Thanks
Pete

I made a couple of quick videos showing the amplifier and RCA wiring in case those are helpful. This is on my '04. The Teyes wiring itself was just plug-and-play, matching up all of the connectors that could possibly fit together. Shoving that mess of wires in behind the unit turned out to be way worse than even the Grom Vline VL2 harness!

There's this but you might want to contact them with pictures to see if they've got the right harnesses, etc., for your setup. Toyota Landcruiser Land Cruiser 10 J100 100 (1998-2007) - https://teyes.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-10-j100-100-1998-2007?variant=39980003524804

However, you're lucky with that '99 in that you can also just run any generic double din radio!

Thanks. I'm curious if anyone has had success with it. Going name brand double din might be safer though...

THANK YOU. Everything works now!

THANK YOU. Everything works now!

Glad to hear it! Mine’s working great now too.

Quick update: I paid a local car audio place to install while I was on vacation and things seems solid for the most part except for the glaring issue of the climate control being nonexistent. I'll get back to that. Install was the CC3 with accompanying items, rear camera, and the Picasso Nano. Two front speakers were replaced and the wire to the driver door as well. The good is that there is no audio hiss or hum, the interface is fast, the Android Auto is rad, and things seem to be okay.

The installer couldn't find the climate controls and I was like yeah, no biggie, I read in this thread where it was. Then even when I checked the air conditioning protocol and start assistant when turned on I still don't have a snowflake. Incidentally the steering wheel controls aren't working. This made me go into model selection where I start at the T'eyes app and select the LC100. When I do that sort of nothing happens. I'm suspecting there's a CANbus selection issue? I'm assuming it's getting some signal if the reverse camera is operational. Any thoughts?

Try the process of setting the canbus protocol multiple times.
Set it to lc100
Reboot
Test it
Set it back to null
Reboot
Repeat

It can take a few times

Don't trust the snowflake. Go into the climate control and see if the buttons work for the temperature or fan speed. Note that done buttons don't work even when the canbus module is connected, like the rear controls.

 

[Reshala]

Thank you. Where are you finding climate controls? Will they appear once the canbus is set?

Scratch the last question and thank you. It's working now. Even the steering wheel controls and antenna.

The only lingering issue is that calls are going through my handset rather than the speakers and mic while using Car Link 2.0. Will figure that out next. Thank you so much.

 

[Reshala]

Still no Bluetooth. When pairing through the Bluetooth app on the HU the Bluetooth never appears on the phone. Android Auto works through USB but phone calls only work through the phone. Full functionality of all apps through the AA/Car Link 2.0 though. It makes me wonder if he didn't connect the Bluetooth antenna but I'd love to not get back in there if I don't have to.

 

[stubbs]

Thanks. Looking forward to getting the rears working as that's my last step!
I found a setting to swap the forward and back buttons, so that's solved.

My forward and back buttons also need to be swapped, could you point me in the right direction? I tried pulling up the steering wheel mapping and didn't see anything set up in there.

There's a switch in settings. Factory, 168, original agreement, reverse previous and next

I just got an '03 this week. The radio does not work at all. The nav system does not work at all. Map, dest, menu buttons do nothing. When I press audio it just says "Audio System off". I am interested in this solution but does the oe radio need to be functioning to make it work?

Any ideas or suggestions on this? Non working radio a non starter for this kit?

 

[cryptyk]

It depends on what's broken. If the Nav system (the screen) is broken, you'll be replacing that with the CC3.
If the tape deck or amp, which do a SURPRISING amount of work in these trucks, are broken, then the CC3 won't help.

If it were me, I would check the price on ebay for a tape deck or amp replacement. If you're willing to pay that cost even after installing the CC3, then I would just be aware that you may need to do that

I don't know enough about the OEM audio to know how to diagnose which component is broken without just replacing each piece.

Thanks for that info. I have not torn the dash apart yet to investigate. Hoping that will give me an indication of the direction to move.

Any input/opinions on the 2k versus non-2k versions ??
