Great help! Thanks so much. Some strange faults occur after fixing the wiper arm back. I pushed the water button and the right arm stand still while the left was moving. I switched the ignition off and disassembled the whole arm. Now I wanted to bring the left arm in the right position by switching the ignition on and turning the wiper handle on pos 1, but nothing happend. No movement any more. So I assembled the left arm again by tightening the bold tough and decided to check the fuse No. 46 (motor cabinet left side if you are watching in front). Fuse ok. ??? Wiper motor defect? I was reading out the fault log, but no fault in the ECU. ??? I turned on the motor and magic magic, the wiper was working properly. Thanks again for this money saver (149,00 Euro without fixing in Germany).
Great detailed video, extremely helpful! Thanks for the content :) I recently bought a unit like this, although everything works fine I have a problem, with the car running, every 3 seconds +/-, the quadrant backlight turns off and on quickly. Also when I use the lights in automatic mode, during the day, the front and rear lights of the car flash the same way. When the car is not running everything looks ok. Do you have any idea what it could be and/or how to resolve it? Thanks
Hi Joao, I have a similar issue with the one headlight turning off/on randomly but that was because I switched from halogens to LEDs. I never experience this issue while on halogens. At some point i was contemplating on reprogramming the car but I never got around doing it. Do you happen to have LEDs installed on your car?
What is the benefit of wiring it to the headunit as opposed to the reverse light? Does it not achieve the same effect?
That’s a great question. For me, when I did my installs, since the headunit is already open, it made sense to get the 12v power source from there. Second reason is that some cars have a sensitive canbus and that a slight drop in current/resistance triggers a random warning light. So to avoid that potential issue, I just tap into the headunit/canbus decoder power source. Either approach is fine. Just dont connect both ends of the red wire from video cable to a power source.
@@AutosNGizmos That makes sense, thanks for explaining
Hello I recently installed mine with the help of your video and mine goes into a blank screen when I switch to reverse
Hello Oreoluwa, firstly thanks for watching my video. Your support means a lot to me. With regards to the issue you described, there could be several reasons for that. Here are the steps you can follow to help you troubleshoot. Using a multimeter (set to voltage reading), connect the red and black leads of the multimeter into the corresponding camera power wires then put the car in reverse. If you don’t get 12v reading in the multimeter, it’s either the red wire is not connected to a 12v power source or the black wire is not properly grounded. If you don’t have a multimeter, I have an affiliate link to an Amazon or Aliexpress product which you can purchase (I might get a small commission if you purchase using one of those links). If I may ask, where are you getting the 12v power source. Did you confirm it is in fact sending 12v? If you can confirm there is definitely 12v, then it’s possible the black wire is not properly connected to ground. Normally, the ground point in any car is any bare metal (unpainted) part of the car’s body. Normally, you will see a bunch of wires connected to a nut onto the body of the car - this is the ground point you can use. If you can confirm both 12v and ground are connected properly, then it’s possible the camera is broken. To check if the camera is working, you can take your camera indoors and using an external 12v power source, power it up and connect the yellow RCA cable into your TV. If you power it up and the camera is working, you should see the video feed show up on your TV (make sure to switch the TV to the appropriate input source). I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. Cheers Ron Autos N Gizmos

@@Afropolitanen 🤩 This is the best comment I received! Thanks for this and I’m glad this video helped you 😊
Awesome video. I really needed this because I am not very techy and this helped immensely. Thank you. Just one question. At about 36:45 you show another USB connector. What is it and what does it connect to and where? Thank you again and have a great day.
@philbeals4442 Hi Phil, that extra wiring harness is needed if your car has a USB port inside the centre armrest. Have a look at the 26:49 mark. It essentially connects that USB port into the Joying headunit so you can use it for charging or Carplay/Android Auto.
Fabuleux ! Merci beaucoup de votre aide et retour pour mettre à jour notre hud!! Great! Mise a jour effectuée avec succès 👍👍👍👍 Good job!
@@chrisgreg0602 Hi Chris, Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated! Merci pour votre retour. Très apprécié 😊
Many thanks, was waiting for this!!
Hi Julien, Thank you for watching and Im glad you find this video useful 😊
This is the best channel for update news! Can you look at the r86 rear screen unit and see if tesstudios will get you any software updates for it! Thanks this worked for me in like 30seconds!
Very useful. Thank you very much. For the cable i will try to put it in the glove box maybe, I'm sure there is a way to do so.
You’re welcome iko! Yes putting it in the glovebox is possible
My brown trigger wire from the back of the unit does not connect to the canbus, can you tell me which slot does it go into the canbus? Thanks
Hi King, Unfortunately I would not be able to tell you specifically what wires you need to connect to where because headunits and canbus decoders vary. Does your headunit (if its already connected) does it switch to reverse camera input and show blank screen when you put the car in reverse?
@@AutosNGizmos it does not switch , nothing happens when I put the car in reverse
@@KingTreeFiddy Ok there are two areas you could to check. 1) In the System setting, there might be a setting to enable/disable the reverse camera switch. If you find this setting, make sure it’s enabled. Perform a quick test if you changed this setting. 2) Perform a trial-and-error to find the wire in the canbus decoder that outputs 12v when you put the car in reverse, and goes to 0v if you put it out of reverse (i.e. checking each wire of the canbus decoder one-by-one). You will need a multi-tester for this test. Good luck. I hope one of the two suggestions above will work for you. Let me know if you need further assistance.
Yeah, let's run some sketchy random ass .exe file from a overseas vendor I've never heard of to update a screen which is hooked directly to my car's canbus network. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!
😱
Thank you very much. 🙏 Hello from Albania 🇦🇱
You’re welcome! And hello from Australia 😊
Pity this is windows only, as I was going to purchase one, but being a Mac user this as save me ordering one.
Yeah it’s not ideal. I will ask the seller if they have the firmware update utility software for the Mac
@@AutosNGizmos that would be great and also for them selling more to everyone. Thank you.
🎉
YOUR THE BEST!!
Thanks 😁
The Trigger is from the reverse line to the main unit! To activate the screen in reverse mode. Not the other way around like you've said! You are misleading the newbies!
If you look closely, I am ALSO using the same power source from the canbus decoder that goes into the headunit BACK to the reverse camera.
Fantastic! You got me out of a spot of bother. Thank you so much. 👍🏼
Im glad you found this video helpful 😊
Thanks from France !
No worries from Australia 😊
I need support from France as well. Unfortunately it does not work with the 13Mo microSD provided with the product. It is formated in FAT instead of FAT32. Once I copy the new version of the firmware and plug the microSD in the device nothing happen. :( Do I have to buy a bigger microSD formated in FAT32? @jnbreton4560, did you use another microSD?
Try formatting it in FAT32 first. What type of computer do you have Windows or Mac?
@@AutosNGizmos I have Windows and I don't have possibility to format in FAT32. Only FAT which is the default one.
Oh yeah I think that Microsd card that comes with the product has a weird partition. Probably better if you can get a different one
You Tesla is broken. Steering wheel is on the wrong side 😂😂
Takes years of practice to get used to it 😊
Thank you for the latest firmware link! 👍 BTW, very good tutorial. 👏
No worries. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 😊
Do you know why these are no longer available to buy, or is a new model coming out.
Hi Stuart, I checked with the seller today and they said they are in the process of adding a new catalogue item. I will update the link once they release the new product.
My X1 display is always showing 102% battery level. Everything else seems working well. Any ideas how to resolve the problem?
Hi Matiss, I wouldnt have thought the X1 is firmware-updateable. However when I checked the seller’s product page for the X1, it did say it’s possible. So I have now sent them a message and asked if they have a new X1 firmware compatible with the latest Tesla software. Hopefully they will respond…
FYI, still no response from the seller. I’m starting to lose hope :(
@@AutosNGizmos thanks for the efforts anyway! :)
@@MatissZakaritis Actually I spoke too soon. They emailed me earlier with the firmware. Link here if you wanna give it a go now. I’ll create an instruction video in the next couple of days. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fl50YpccmtLYBWafwucN7pEo-TAt0wP6
@@AutosNGizmos Thanks! Update works well!
This thread has explained why my yellow battery icon stays in all the time on yonzee guessing it’s the Tesla update that broke this feature. Kinda annoyed as I replaced my 12v battery thinking maybe it was time to now I just received V2 model hud and reading it also is gonna have same battery icon or discrepancies with now resolution in sight from any of the manufacturers 😂😢😂 also can you show the intel plug in options?
Sorry, I don’t have access to a Tesla with the Intel chip so I can’t show you how ti install this device on those models
@@AutosNGizmos I found it. It’s the same plugs on the passenger side so it’s the amd connector marked copilot side after watching V2 recommended spot to plug in under glovebox led me to not having that plug in there I went to what I knew from other installs in the passenger b pillar. Thanks.

Hi there, yes they are all affected following the rollout of 2024.20.1. Unfortunately, I still have not received the updated firmware for the V2 and X2. But good news is that the Yonzee has the updated firmware which is compatible with the new Tesla software release. I have created a short video (with the updated firmware download link). You can go check it out in this link kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZd1y7Kbf5ysgpc.html
@@AutosNGizmos thanks. I just installed the V2 so I would love to get that updated as it’s far superior to the Yonzee’s and does not block the air flow like yonzee does. I know my battery is not 100% like the display says and just won’t trust that part. But the mileage is correct. Please keep us posted on the V2. Thanks.
@@Ughthisagain Yes I agree. The V2 is the perfect mini instrument cluster. I am still following this up with the seller. Ill keep everyone posted!
@@AutosNGizmos subscribed and awaiting the update news! I also opened a ticket with tbuff on alix for this so if I get a reply I’ll post here in comments as well.
@@AutosNGizmos have v2 come back with anymore update information? I have heard nothing from aliX except they will offer return of my V2. I don’t want that I want the firmware updated!! Thanks. 🙏
This worked perfectly! Thank you for the fast deployment. The turn signals work again and the bright lights blue led is not always on. This works with the 2023 Tesla model 3, after the 2024 software update 12.
I’m glad to hear that Lucas. The guys at Yonzee are really good with after-sales support.
Thank you for the detailed update video of Tesery Dashboard Screen Display! It is very valuable to us and our community! 😊👍
I’m more than happy to do this. It’s a win-win-win actually 😊
Get rid of teslas before they make problems, its that easy. So in the best case... just dont buy a tesla at all!
😅 That’s an interesting perspective
@@AutosNGizmos Im not hating on teslas, some things they make not too bad, but Tesla is NOT a car manufacturer, its a tech company, as seen by failures of teslas which are unheard of in 99% of all other cars, in fact if some things happening to teslas would be possible on other cars, they would not even be allowed to be driven on the street. EVs are just overhyped and overrated anyways, we need better batteries, MUCH better ones before we can say EVs will help in anything. As long there are Lithium based batteries in there with a lifespan of 5-15 years (in the BEST CASE!!!!), those EVs are more of a problem than a solution.
@@AutosNGizmos Im absolutely not against EVs as well, in fact im for it - im an electrical engineer and did not only personal research and testing on some stuff, especially batteries, but also in work for many years. electric propulsion is something nice and needed - to keep the noise level in cities lower, less stinky stuff there etc, but nowadays i would not build more than 5kWh batteries for personal transport - in other words... nothing bigger than a lets say moped car, better even just small scooters and e bikes, micromobility basically. For a single 85kWh Model S battery you could build about 60 high speed, high range performance scooters. Go into the more used micromobility with lets say 300-600Wh batteries, you are towards 150-300 scooter/e-bike batteries for a single tesla battery. No sense in driving around with 1,5 tons of batteries when you can do it with 0,02 tons and much less tire wear (and dust!)
To be fair, the issue this guy is trying to fix isn't really Tesla's fault. It's a third party addition to the car, not an actual product/feature produced by Tesla.
Merci pour cette vidéo de maj :-).
De rien!
This Blind Spot Monitor only operates with the Turn signal ON. It needs to be functional at all times on the road as every other auto does. There are times when you don't have time to turn on a blinker but still need to know if something is in your Blind Spot. So far I have only seen Teslogic with the BSM always on.
Thanks for watching and your feedback. Room for improvement for this unit 😊
Thank You, Excellent tutorial.
You’re welcome Luis 😊
not bad. any updates on the 3.9 inch HUD firmware update yet?
Hi Peter, thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately, the seller for that HUD still has not come up with the updated firmware. They’ve been responding to my follow up questions though so hopefully it wont be long now🤞

Does anyone know how to reset the X2 for Tesla? It’s the smallest one. I’ve had it installed for over 6 months and have had no issue, but my model Y updated to 2024.20.1 today and now the battery on the HUD only shows 100% all the time. Everything else normal but kind of annoying that it shows 100% battery instead of what it is actually.
Hi Raj, Your car is probably one of the few cars who received that update so you might have better luck if you reach out to the seller directly. I will try to contact them too to find out if they have a new firmware update.
@@AutosNGizmos but is there any reset on the X2? Or if I plug it into my PC via the type C, how to update?
I also don’t know how to reset or update it. I’ve sent a message to the seller in Aliexpress and hopefully I’ll get a response soon. Once I do, I will let you know what they say
Thanks for your install video, excellent details for getting this job done.
Thanks John. I really appreciate your feedback 😊
I have a pink wire on the Canbus that is directly below the brown wire it's labeled "Parking" would this wire be 12v that I can connect the red wire too without cutting the brown from the Canbas?
Hi Kara, it’s really hard to tell based on your description. The only way to be certain is to do a test but you will need a multi-meter test tool
THANK YOU !!!!!
You’re welcome ☺️
Hay I have problem with rear cam I am installing it right now and something isnt corect. I have pics all the time no matter on reverse I cinnected with pink wire on radio conectir and on cam side i connect with lighter conector on back of the car. Is that lighter conector gives 12v constantly, maybe that is the problem
Hi Ds Ms, Yeah it sounded like you are sending constant power to the headunit tricking it that reverse gear is engaged. Try to find a power source that turns On when the car is in reverse gear. It can be the 12v reverse gear trigger on the canbus decoder or the reverse lamp on the tail lights. Good luck 🍀
Upgrade to an S or X and have a display right in front of driver and a center screen display.
Some people might be put off by the price difference of those two upgrade options 😂
why would i buy that trash item when i have a phone that i can put in the same place?
Yes, thats another option. But probably using the phone for turn-by-turn navigation on long drives unplugged to a power source will probably drain its battery before you reach your destination. If you do decide to use your phone like this, make sure to set your phone to ‘Do Not Disturb’ so you don’t get distracted by any notifications while driving. Drive safe!
