Step-by-step instructions for installing Teyes CC3 in Nissan Qashqai

The installation can be divided into 3 stages: dismantling the standard radio, connecting the wires and attaching the new system. To work you will need:

• 🔧 Set of screwdrivers (phillips and flat).
• 🔌 Multimeter (to check voltage).
• 🧲 Plastic spatulas for removing the panel.
• 📌 Electrical tape or heat shrink to insulate connections.

Step 1: Removing the original radio

1. Disable negative battery terminal (required!).
2. Remove the decorative frame around the radio - pry it off with a spatula from the lower right corner.
3. Unscrew the 4 screws securing the radio (2 on top, 2 on bottom).
4. Carefully pull out the unit, disconnecting the connectors ISO and antennas.

Step 2: Connecting Wires

The most critical stage. Check the connection diagram (you can download it here). Pay special attention to:

• 🔴 ACC (yellow wire) - must go to ignition, and not to a constant "+".
• 🔵 CAN-H And CAN-L - connect to the corresponding contacts in the connector OBD2 (pins 6 and 14).
• 📹 REVERSE - connects to the reverse gear wire (in Qashqai This is usually the green-black wire in the rear light harness).

Step 3: Installation and Configuration

After connecting the wires:

1. Secure Teyes CC3 in the slide and insert into the panel.
2. Connect the battery and check the system starts.
3. Enter the menu Settings → CAN Bus and select a model Nissan Qashqai J11.
4. Update the firmware via USB (instructions in the next section).

⚠️ Attention: If the radio does not turn on after installation, check the fuse F30 (10A) in fuse box Qashqai — he is responsible for the multimedia system. If there is a short circuit during connection, this fuse will often blow.

Firmware update and configuration of Teyes CC3

Firmware Teyes CC3 updated via USB flash drive (the flash drive must be formatted in FAT32). The latest version of the software can be downloaded from official website (at the time of writing this article, the current version is v1.2.8).

Update instructions:

1. Download the archive with the firmware and unpack it to the root of the flash drive (there should be a file update.img).
2. Insert the flash drive into the port USB1 (top connector on the rear panel of the radio).
3. Go to Settings → System update → Local update.
4. Confirm the start of the process - it will take ~10 minutes. Don't turn off the power!

After the update, it is recommended to reset the settings to factory defaults (Settings → Backup and reset) and configure the system again. Pay special attention to:

• 🎵 Sound settings: in the menu DSP (if available) disable Loudness - this will improve the quality of the bass.
• 📡 Radio: Automatically scan for stations, but manually save your favorites—autosearch often misses weak signals.
• 📱 Wireless CarPlay: For stable operation, disable power saving for Bluetooth in Android settings.

If there is no sound after the update, check:

• Connecting speakers (wires FL+, FR+ etc. must correspond to the diagram).
• Settings Audio Output in the menu - sometimes resets to HDMI instead of Speaker.
• Amplifier performance (in versions with Bose additional adapter may be required).

What to do if the update is stuck?

If the update process is stuck at the "Writing system" stage for more than 20 minutes, carefully remove the USB drive and restart the radio by holding the button Power within 10 seconds. If the system does not start, repeat the procedure with another flash drive (it is recommended to use USB 2.0 with a capacity of no more than 16 GB).

Solving common problems with Teyes CC3 in Qashqai

Even with proper installation, owners Teyes CC3 encounter bugs. Here are the most common ones and how to fix them:

Problem	Possible reason	Solution
Rear view camera does not work	Incorrect wire connection REVERSE or incompatible camera	Check the voltage on the wire when engaging reverse gear (should be 12V). If the camera is standard, you need an adapter RCA-to-AHD.
Climate control not displayed	Incorrect CAN bus settings or outdated adapter firmware	Update the CAN module firmware (file canbox_update.bin downloaded separately).
Freezes when connecting via Bluetooth	Conflict with other devices or system overload	Disable unused Bluetooth devices in Settings and reset app cache Bluetooth.
Noise in the speakers when the engine is running	Bad ground or interference from the generator	Check the grounding of the radio (the black wire must be securely screwed to the body). Additionally, install a capacitor on the positive wire.

If the radio does not see the USB drive, try:

• 🔄 Format the flash drive to FAT32 with cluster size 4096 bytes.
• 🔌 Connect it to USB2 (lower port) - the upper one sometimes does not recognize the device due to poor contact.
• 📁 Create a folder on a flash drive TEYES and put the files there.

To diagnose CAN bus errors, you can use the application Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (available in Google Play). Connect OBD2 adapter and check if data on speed, engine speed, etc. is being transmitted. If not, there is a connection problem CAN-H/CAN-L or adapter firmware.
