Setting up the Can-bus system for Teyes radios and other Chinese models on the Android platform.

Chinese Android car stereos, including Teyes models, usually offer high-quality features and a user-friendly interface. However, the process of setting up and connecting Can-bus can be somewhat complicated. In this article, we will look at the key steps of setting up Can-bus when connecting Teyes car stereos and similar devices.

What is Can-Bus?

Before you start setting up, it is important to understand the concept of Can-bus. CAN (Controller Area Network) is a communication standard that allows various devices in a car to exchange data without the need for a central computer. Can-bus adapters simplify the interaction of these systems, ensuring comfort and safety while driving. In fact, many systems in a car operate via the CAN-Bus protocol, and without the appropriate Can-bus adapter, their operation may be disrupted when replacing the standard radio.

Features of connecting Can-bus to Chinese radios

Connecting Can-bus to Chinese Android-based radios has its own nuances. First of all, you need to make sure that the Can-bus adapter is compatible with a specific radio model. Not all Can-bus adapters will be compatible with every radio.

The reasons for this problem may be the following:

1. The CAN-Bus included in the Teyes radio (or other Chinese analogue) may be incorrectly configured by the installer. It happens. Come to us – we will fix everything!
2. The CAN-Bus adapter may not match a specific car model. In this case, we recommend using a proven adapter from the British manufacturer Connects2 (the model depends on the make and model of the car) in combination with the CARAV 15-133 connector. If configured correctly, everything will function correctly.

An example is the use of the CAN-Bus adapter Connects2 CTSMZ007.2 to connect a Chinese radio in a Mazda CX-7.

The setup process

Preparation for connection: First of all, turn off the power of the radio to avoid possible damage. Then connect the Can-bus adapter to the corresponding port of the device.

Software setup: After physically connecting the adapter, you need to set up the software. On most Android devices, this can be done through the system settings. You will need to select the appropriate Can-bus protocol in the radio menu.

Testing: Once the connection and software setup is complete, it is important to test the system. Turn on the radio and check if all functions are functioning correctly. This may include checking the steering wheel controls, displaying information on the dashboard, and other features.

Possible difficulties

Although the process of setting up Can-bus on Chinese radios is generally quite simple, some difficulties may arise. For example, compatibility issues may occur, or not all functions may work properly after connection. In case of problems, it is recommended to contact a specialist or the manufacturer of the adapter.
