Advice re upgrading head unit - nissan juke

[ED209]

Hello,

I am pretty clueless when it comes to car audio, having downgraded my car to a 2016 Nissan Juke Tekna I miss apple carplay for Spotify etc that I have had in my last few cars.

I have been looking at aftermarket head units. And whilst some of the android systems designed to fit the car look good and apparently have loads of features I am wary about them in case I end up buying crap.

I am looking for a unit that lows me to retain the steering wheel controls and also if possible the cars 360 degree camera system (I think this might be tricky)

Has anyone any experience, recommendations or can assist?

I hadn’t heard of teyes to be honest but this unit even mentions oem 360 camera support, I am concerned that it seems fairly low spec though.

Think I might email them for further info.

Also interested in this for my wife's 2017 Tekna Juke. Every time we go anywhere I miss having Google Maps and phone integration on the dashboard as in my car, but she won't entertain any solution that doesn't include the 360 camera.

If you get anywhere with T'Eyes (as their site seems to call them, possibly a company from Yorkshire?) please post findings!

I received a one line reply saying if my head unit looks like the one on the advert page 360 cameras will work. I don’t think I’m confident enough to order a system though as apparently they are ordered from Australia and dispatched from china. I foresee problems if it doesn’t work as described.

Cheers for passing on what they said. I'm confident enough to give it a go so I've ordered one, if I manage to get it all working I'll reply again in here.

Definite gamble but figure I can always ebay if it doesn't work out and return is impossible. I hate the existing system enough to at least try

Great. Please let me know how it goes.

The main thing I use in the car is Spotify and I hadn’t realised there is a car mode on Spotify which turns on when the phone is playing through Bluetooth on the normal head unit. This will do me for now.

Looks good, was it easy to fit?

Also what did it ultimately cost in £ with any duty etc?

Ordered from here: https://teyes.uk/collections/cc3/products/teyes-cc...

Previously £575 and reduced to £300 for the gadget on its own, but after shipping and import duty etc the total cost was £356
Seems a hell of a lot just for sending it to me, but it did make its way from Guangdong to Guildford in less than a week.

Still looking into the rear camera issue - other than that, everything works well.

Bit of a thread revival here. I have eventually ordered a teyes head unit but not for my juke, for my Mercedes Vito instead.
