You have earned my subscription. I just cancelled my return of this product. Watching a video is one thing, listening is another. There was a point where you were installing the ribbons and said “blue to blue”. That was my mistake.
Hello James, a big thank you for your superb videos. Thanks to you, I installed my Carplay in 2 hours. I watched your video 4 times, I knew the disassembly of the PCM by heart.
A big hello from France
That's so cool!! Congratulations Gilles. Well done! Cheers.
One of the greatest videos on RUclips , keep up the nice work 👍
That’s very kind! Thank you.
Thanks for this video, the one the chinese guys sent me was incomplete, yours made me finish the job on my Grand Cherokee
WOW! I watched this video 5 times while deciding whether to buy the joy audio or not. I finally pulled the trigger last Saturday and it arrived the next Tuesday!! Could not believe how fast and how well it was packaged. The whole install took me 1.5 hours and, of course, when I went to turn it on.....nothing. Made two mistakes.
1) did not seed the main harness into the PCM well enough for the PCM to Power up. Easy fix and I thought it was not in far enough
2) I put the LCD from the Joy Box in the In and not the Out. Again, easy fix and I was not sure which one it went in.
Other than that, this was a great project and an incredible video that really was so much more informative than the Panamera video that comes in the QR code with the system. My 991.1 is now ready for the road!!!
Thanks again!!!! A+++++
First time I watched you doing that job it looked daunting, now it looks almost a breeze, good training.
Cheers David! Appreciate the feedback!
Thank you for posting this! I bought the JoyAuto and it works great! Installation had several steps but this video helps A LOT!
Well done!!
Legend. Really impressive work. Thank you for sharing!
Cheers Barry, thanks!
@@AutoAmateur Just completed installation of the kit I received from you a week or two ago! Thanks.
Works fantastic! Your videos made fitting a lot easier than it would have been without them.
Have you ever seen issues with the mic?
I have it installed and plugged into the joyeauto box, but it doesn’t pick up any “hey Siri” commands. My iPhone picks them up instead. (tested out by putting my iPhone outside of the car and closing the door-no Siri triggering :))
That was a fun watch 😀 nice job!
Thanks!
Thanks. I just got my unit in hand (from your channel). As soon as I get the backup cam, I'll be trying this!
Fantastic! Please give me a shout if you need any help during the installation.
Well I think I must have bought the wrong unit… just getting around to install and it looks nothing like your circuit board (it has a box). I guess PCM 31 does not equal PCM 3.1?
Great video mate!
Thank you!!
I just made the purchase of the Joyeauto box thru your website. I can’t wait to get my order so I can add wireless carplay to my 997.2 (pcm 3.0). Thanks demonstrating the install again. This has given me more confidence in my ability to install this. I do think it would be good to see how you mounted the joyeauto box. Can you try to take some pictures of the box installed?
Awesome video! You are a brave man! I m might be up for try installing one ibut would not dream of doing via video live!
Hahaha. I still don't believe I did it live... was a great feeling to do it successfully though! If you take on the job, don't hesitate to give me a shout if you need any help or advice!
Thank you so much for doing this live to make the experience more authentic. I'm an Android user who has been stalking the joyeauto device wishing that it supported wireless Android Auto. You say that it does now! Have you ever used it? Anyone else here used AA wirelessly?
Cheers Mitchell!
Hello mate. Thanks for the vid. What's the resolution like after the upgrade? Is there any difference? I'm guessing not as the screen is the screen?
Very detailed instruction, good stuff. One question about the USB cable coming from the Joyeauto box, what is it connected to? the diagram shows it's for the Android mirroring, does it mean it's only needed for Android Auto? Your video doesn't mention the installation/purpose of it as well, probably because you only need Apple CarPlay?
Thanks for the video !!! Will be ordering from you
Cheers!
Hi....installing unit now..the unit has sound but no screen.....rechecked and secured all ribbons.finds out im missing a small plastic connect for the big ribbon on the back of the screen....the ribbon will not seat itself.....Will that piece make this not work ?? Thanks sir
Thank you SO much for these videos. I really feel like I understand the scope of work for this project thanks to you. About to order the JoyAuto unit and two cameras for my 2015 GT3. Plan, currently, is to install the head unit first, then figure out and install the cameras.
I saw a thread online that mentioned a problem with the length of the circuit board mounting posts for USA PDMs with satellite radio. Have you heard anything about this or encountered any such issue?
Cheers Andrew! Appreciate it!! The mounting posts can be a little tricky if you have XFM radio, that circuit board almost gets in the way. It's no big deal though. Everything goes back together neatly.
Hi James,
I watched your video last night and I have concerns/questions. I have a PCM 3.0 (2012 911-997.2) with XM radio. I noticed in your video that you removed the Ribbon cables from the LCD screen and used two sets of the screw extenders to go over the XM module. This was different from other videos that I have watched for the PCM 3.0 install.
My kit only came with 3 of the extensions, and I have concerns that the Ribbon Cables might sit too high in the unit and not work. Do you have any insight on how to make this work on a PCM 3.0? Thanks.
I purchased the Joyeauto after watching your video. Had it installed by a mechanic, and it worked great for a month. and just last week, my PCM died... im not sure if its the Joyeauto has anything to do with it but now that I pulled out my PCM and ripped the warranty seal.. i cant do warranty claim either. kind of a nightmare im facing
..
Great work & thanks for sharing. Do u need to deactivate bluetooth audio in PCM to make AUX work ? Was just a bit confused as to what u configured to get audio to function properly.
Hey Tim! In this instance, the PCM unit didn't have its AUX input activated. I simply found the right menu and turned the AUX input on. Anyone who uses their iPod or iPhone or whatever connected via USB will have the AUX input turned on already. There is no need to deactivate the Bluetooth Audio to make JoyeAuto work, but it can be useful to do that to make it easier to accept phone calls so your PCM and CarPlay apps aren't competing to take the calls. This happens in a handful of cases but it doesn't affect your ability to use the JoyeAuto.
Just ordered a unit from your site for my 2015 Panamera GTS! I'm assuming that I've correctly understood that Android Auto will connect wirelessly :) I'm very excited!
Android Auto will function wirelessly but if you want to 'Mirror' your Android screen on the device you just need to connect it via the provided USB cable. Let me know if you need any help with the installation! Cheers!
@@AutoAmateur Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to giving this installation a go😁
Great video James.my I installed this unit on the weekend. I did the same install in my BMW and that helped me a bit but your video really made it trouble free.
Only gotcha's for me were the clips for the ribbon cables. The first one broke on me to the LCD. I had to glue the clip to the circuit board. 2nd was the video cables to the Joyeaux weren't defined but i just swapped on the unit and bingo!
Thanks for the detailed install.
One question, where did you end up placing the Joyueax box? Right now I have it zip tied to the trim work under the steering column. I couldn't see where to tuck it in?
Good job! I have my box zip tied to a similar space under the steering column and up to the side. It’s impossible to see unless you put your head in the driver’s footwell and look upwards
Hello, thanks for your video. I did it on my 997.2 4s and it’s works well. But I’m looking for power the unit after ignition, the cigarette fuse still powered. Have you an idea where I can find a + after ignition?
Send me an email to contact@autoamateur.com and I would love to try to help you!
Hi, great video thanks for making this doable! Ive had the joyeauto installed for 4 days on my panamera (mk1) and I went to start it tonight and the battery is flat. Have you experienced this in any of your installs - i think the joyeauto must be taking from the battery even when the ignition and PCM are off. Could it be to do with where ive chosen to add it into the fusebox? Cheers.
Hey James! You need to find a fuse slot that is switched, which means the slot goes on and off with the ignition. You can test the fuse slots you have access to by plugging in the JoyeAuto unit and turning the ignition on and off. Watch for the blue light on the back of the JoyeAuto unit. If it goes off when your ignition is turned off (and the door is opened to kill the power) you found a fuse slot that will work for you.
@@AutoAmateur amazing thanks so much. Ill have a play today (when my battery is recharged 🤦♂️)
Another fiddly job made look easy, nice work James! 👍
Is the installation essentially the same for a PCM 3.0 UK model?
That’s right!! Cheers Clive.
@@AutoAmateur thanks James, I'll get one ordered
please advice places to hide joyeauto unit itself. or how to mount it steady if placing it under stearing wheel
I use zip ties wrapped around the unit, then another zip tie under the footwell, above and out of the way of your feet along the inner side of the body. There is a plastic bracket up there which you can use to tie everything too. The wires then just need to go under your steering wheel column on top of the plastic tray.
Hi James when you connected to the unit did you have wifi on? Or just Bluetooth?
Just bluetooth is needed.
Great videos! I was wondering if you have any experience with the NM Automotive CarPlay product as well? I am looking to install CarPlay and a rear camera on my 981 Cayman 3.1 and want to ensure that I fully vet out both systems. The delivered price of the NM is about $625 w/o the camera. Thx and keep up the stellar work!
Hey Pat! Technically they’re very similar solutions both in terms of the design, hardware used and how you install them. I’ve heard great things about the NM solution but nothing that would make me want to pay an extra $150+ for.
Check out my website for the special pricing and free shipping for the JoyeAuto solutions.
Thanks for all the amazing instructions - I’ve ran into an issue whereby the display is upside down and the video quality is poor.. wondering if you can provide some suggestions?
Thanks! Is it just the CarPlay video that's upside down or the PCM screens too? It's most likely an issue with one of your ribbon cables not being fully seated and secured in its port on one of the circuit boards.
@@AutoAmateur thanks for the quick reply… really appreciate that. Yes it’s both pcm and CarPlay. I’ll try the ribbons again - thanks again
@@AutoAmateur 3rd time lucky reseating the ribbon cables…. It works now. Thanks again for the generous support.
where did you put the box? can it be behind the carpet near the dead pedal?
I used zip ties to secure it to one of the brackets up and under the driver's side footwell, towards the outer shell of the car. The wires are under the steering column tray.
Did you get AUX working? Perhaps it is the male mini-plug that needs to go into the Aux input?
I did!! It was just a simple check box on the PCM that needed setting.
What about i have Android phone, so it appeared the car play like what u showed on ur screen or has to be used apple iphone?
Yes, the same unit provides both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support - both wirelessly and wired, your preference.
After installation today and it worked for about an hour when I hit the nav button it goes to the screen with apple car play hi lighted and sticks there. Car play is highlighted even when the phone is in airplane mode. Any advice?
Please send me an email to contact@autoamateur.com and I’ll help you fix it!
hi,
Thank for your video, it was helping me to install joyeauto on my car, its working but i have the same problem like you, i don't have the sound, i tried to turn the AUX input on but i couldn't how did you do? can you help me please :)
i finally find it thanks :) its workiiiing
Ah sorry! Just saw this. Glad you got it working!!
Is it possible to connect a Google TV to the HDMI input?
No, but you can mirror your smartphone with apps like RUclips, Google Play, Netflix, etc.
Sound is not as loud as normal input sound anyone experienced the same issue?
Nevermind! Figured it out.
Question please: voice commands including Siri are not working, it always replies (display message) “can’t hear you”. Any idea what could be the possible reason? Knowing that the microphone is installed over the steering wheel
The first suggestion is the obvious - make sure your microphone is plugged into the JoyeAuto box. The second is the placement of the microphone. Try picking it up and talking into it directly.
@@AutoAmateur thank you. Replacing the microphone option makes sense. Will try it and let you know
Good luck!
I may have spoken a tad too soon. Has anyone experienced loss of sound on one side of the car?
I have sound through the normal PCM on both sides but through CarPlay, only the right speakers work?
- I checked the JoyAuto menu settings and sound and there is no way to change the balance but the white dot is in the middle anyway.
- Replaced the audio wire (headphone wire) no change
- Checked the Audio wire connection and all other connections, no issues
- Checked the Joy Box and no wire issues.
- checked the PCM settings, no issues
Only thing left is to open the PCM again, but I want to see if anyone else has had this issue??
Thanks,
great help mate!. thanks. i installed it but i keep getting + signs on each corner of the screen when it first starts. i need to touch each + sign in each corner and then the + sign in the middle. then the main screen pops up. the problem is that this happens each time i start the car.
Turn dip switch 1 and 2 to OFF. That’s the touch screen correction tool you’re seeing when either one of those is in the ON position.
