I mentioned on an older video of yours that I was looking at getting a GWM. I'm finally picking my one up tonight! I was looking at upgrading the audio in some way without going overboard, so cheers for the video, mate!
Inspired by your video, I bought one and just installed it in my Cannon X. Definitely a big improvement over what the factory EQ settings deliver. Took about 1.5 hours to rip the head unit off, wire it up and then tune the DSP. Didn't bother undoing the seat and going under the carpet - just fed it down from the centre console. Pulling the head unit off was definitely the hardest part! Recommend anyone doing this on the X try and rip the lower section out with your hands because the Supercheap trim tools can scratch the plastic.
After seeing your video,I bought and installed a DSP into a cannon x. Pulling out the dash around the screen was easy once I saw how Byron took it out. I also have difficulties with Savage tech answering there phones for support. Do you know what the red and blue wires are for coming out of the DSP. Plug .I heard you say that the blue one was for power to the sub ?Ron
Hey mate :) that's awesome. I didn't hook up any other wiring. There is other wiring there incase you want to install a amp for a subwoofer but if not you don't hook up to anything.... I believe. Glad you got the dash out easily. Great job mate. Cheers
I just installed this in mine. Didn't really come with instructions - glad this video existed. Can't get the guys at savage to pick up on the support line unfortunately. Is yours set to "acc" or "high" for start mode? I notice the acc wire isn't connected in the harness so it doesn't work... Did you tap the acc line in so you don't drain your bat? If so, where?
Hey mate, that sucks they aren't answering you... I'm not sure about the acc or high? Didn't even see that.. I didn't tap a acc line as the unit is plug and play into standard wiring harness so only gets power when stereo gets power from ignition... I believe anyway Hope that helps 😀
The light on mine when set to high seems to keep blinking red for at least 5 minutes after total power off. But I haven't checked after longer than that, so I'm assuming it's powered always when set to high. Suppose I'll come back at check it after 30 mins or so and see if it's still blinking....
@systemadminn keep trying savage tech too when they are open. Or send them a message. They know there stuff so hopefully you can get a straight forward answer 😀
No luck for a few days and like 8 calls 😂 but all good. I put the DSP on the dash and gave it like 15 minutes, came back without unlocking or opening the door - and the light wasn't blinking. So you're right. It turns off, but there's obviously a little delay. Just picked up my subwoofer. Putting that in now.
If the audio settings are all still at the factory, and DTS is disabled... then yes, the audio is crap. However, I recently sat in a cannon with a newly installed and tuned DSP and compared it to mine. In mine (stock) when the levels were adjusted correctly first, and then DTS selected, there was little to no difference between the two vehicles. With adjustment, the stock audio system is quite satisfactory and pushes the limits of the OEM speakers when levels are tuned and DTS is applied.
Wow nah I didn't have that experience with mine. Haha mine is ear pearcing loud now haha my stock system couldn't get anywhere near this. I've tried playing around with the other guys ones that I know and can't get anywhere near this. But did your DSP have an Amplifier built in? On the one you were checking out? Cheers :)
@@wheelsbytheocean it shows that its a workhorse and not a show pony. A good clean does make it more enjoyable to climb into and drive with ya sunday best on. Those dashes are built tough and great job on the install.
Isn't that just a setting you can change? Is your camera coming on when your stop? Or go slow? I turned that off. Think it was call AVM or something like that??
You need to scan the thing they sent with it? Did you get a code thing to scan? If not hit up Savage Tech and they can help you out with it. Sorry mate. Savage tech tuned mine for me
Yeah I'm not sure why. I notice it's better with it on But I'm assuming that Savage Tech has programmed the DSP to the Max the speakers can handle. So then when you turn the DTS on it delivers more power to the speakers and could blow them.... that's my guess
@philwood-hw3ei nah mate, I don't know how to adjust it any better. I'm just using the Savage Tech file as it's apparently the best. I wouldn't mind adjusting my treble down a little though as the Mrs listens to some very acoustic songs haha Best to contact Savage Tech on that one :) Cheers
It is a Amplifier. It's heapppps louder then it was before. Like ridiculously better haha Check it out here: savagetech.com.au/products/digital-dsp-amplifier-for-gwm-cannon?_pos=4&_sid=55a6b3302&_ss=r
Considering that my dealer won't launch a warranty case for my stuffed up fuel system causing power loss and Lightshow on my dash just because there is a throttle controller installed I would never touch the head unit as this thing is literally controlling the whole car.....but hey when your "not" sponsored by savage tech or gwm it doesn't matter 🤷🏻♂️.
@Alans-channel hey, that sucks that you got knocked back on warranty! Have you considered removing the throttle controller and trying another dealer maybe. That's not good at all. Yeah these only use the speaker wires with a piggy back harness. Very straight forward stuff. I am sponsored by Savage Tech.... that's why I have Savage tech at the end of every one of my videos.

@sulusieteru4223 Awesome mate!!! So happy for you. You're going to love it.
We still happy as with this unit :)
Cheers 🍻
Very Interesting watching the installation always satisfying when positive improvements are done. Thanks

Yeah I was so happy I didn't need to do stereo. Looks so difficult!

@@systemadminn that's awesome! I want a subwoofer! That would be mint.
Let me know how it goes with sub
Loved the "Like I'm seventeen on my red P's" That bought back memories from days long forgotten. What sort of $'s is that DSP?
Hahahah the good old days. I used to be invincible back then!
These ones are 385

@@wheelsbytheocean Yes it did. Not the specific one as Savage sell, but just the same really as they are just an aliexpress product.
@@bassifiernz yeah not sure then. Mine is insane haha
Perfect time for a good vacuum
Hahahaha it was sooo bad!
The Ute's had a real good clean since then haha
I didn't even want to put that in vid but oh well. Haha
@@wheelsbytheocean it shows that its a workhorse and not a show pony. A good clean does make it more enjoyable to climb into and drive with ya sunday best on. Those dashes are built tough and great job on the install.
Do you know how we can hack the gwm stereo system so that it keeps playing even when we stop in drive mode?
Isn't that just a setting you can change?
Is your camera coming on when your stop? Or go slow? I turned that off. Think it was call AVM or something like that??
@@wheelsbytheocean yes, the camera comes on. Can you do a short video to show me how?
@@wheelsbytheocean thanks. Found a video tute
whats the pc sofware for this ? The instructions dont mention it anywhere
You need to scan the thing they sent with it? Did you get a code thing to scan?
If not hit up Savage Tech and they can help you out with it.
Sorry mate. Savage tech tuned mine for me
Is there a reason the DTS has to be switched off?? When I switch mine off the quality of the music significantly drops.
Yeah I'm not sure why. I notice it's better with it on
But I'm assuming that Savage Tech has programmed the DSP to the Max the speakers can handle. So then when you turn the DTS on it delivers more power to the speakers and could blow them.... that's my guess
@@wheelsbytheocean will you be doing any videos on best settings on the DPS??
@philwood-hw3ei nah mate, I don't know how to adjust it any better. I'm just using the Savage Tech file as it's apparently the best.
I wouldn't mind adjusting my treble down a little though as the Mrs listens to some very acoustic songs haha
Best to contact Savage Tech on that one :)
Cheers
I am not understanding how it can be 3 times louder when the Dsp is not an amplifier, unless the gain is making it louder...
It is a Amplifier. It's heapppps louder then it was before. Like ridiculously better haha

ah sorry ok I knew there were 2 versions one with amp one without, I didnt see the cooling fins on yours so assumed no amp..
quick question there was no need to tap into the speaker wires correct, the plug is all you needed to do ?
@MrJuzzmagic yeah that's it :) plug and play. It takes all speaker wire signals with the plug I put in. Sooo easy haha
Hi all does anyone hove the qr code for the app dsp i got a canjon x with one but never turned
I have emailed savage and the linkmi got doesn't exist
@davidsimpson4084 mate that sucks. The QR only works on laptops. Are you using laptop?

Honestly thought he was gonna break the Center console 😂
Me too mate! Me too
Hahaha
What ever happened to the simple basic screws and a screw driver to get a dash facer off these days
I agree!!! You'd have to buy the right trim tools for this job. Lucky I didn't do it haha I would of shoved my flat blade screw driver straight in there and snapped it all hahaha
@wheelsbytheocea n that would have been nasty 😢
@davidmilledge221 hahaha would of been really bad 👎 😅
