Did you reach out to the vendor if they have one that matches the OEM light? Maybe they can recommend a solution?
No solution. They even put this issues into the small print on their website.
I recommend a lip mounted camera like Crux or https://rydeenmobile.com/product/lip2-camera/ done professionally. Save cost by laying the wiring and they can cut the hole and do the soldering if needed.
Installed the JoyeAuto unit this week and have some good news and bad news.
Good news: the product works as advertised!
Bad news: I’m now having problems with my PCM rebooting itself every 4:30 minutes.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far to fix the problem with no avail:
return fully back to stock
reinstall the JoyeAuto product
removed the hard drive from the PCM
removed XM radio and disc drive
Unfortunately, the PCM may have been damaged during the install. My hope was that I might’ve somehow corrupted the HD, but removing it did not resolve the issue.
JoyeAuto tried to help with troubleshooting, but I think this goes a bit beyond their expertise. I’m still in contact with them, but I'm not sure there’s more they can do.
My next steps (since warranty is out of the question)
clone the original hard drive to a new hard drive
check diagnostics data with Durametric
restore to stock and ask dealer to reload software
look to buy a replacement unit used or contact Becker Autosound for repair
If anyone has any other ideas I haven’t thought of, please chime in! Thx.
@Kevin858 I wish I had a helpful suggestion for you but I don’t unfortunately. Just want to say thanks for sharing your experience; I’m keen to hear how you go, and hope you solve the issue. Giving me pause for installing my own kit now!
I've been trying to confirm that these units (especially the joyeauto, but even the nm automotive) have a functioning Android mirroring functionality. And by this I mean that you can use the PCM's touchscreen to control the Android functions. I've seen videos that seem to show it the other way around where controlling from the phone appears on the car's screen, but that is not so useful to me if that's the only way it works.
I successfully installed a Joyeauto module yesterday, a few notes that I hope others may find useful:
On first test my phone would not ask if I wanted to authorise a CarPlay connection and CarPlay would not start. I eventually figured out I had to go into the Joyeauto settings to enable CarPlay for my phone... don’t think this is documented anywhere!
It wasn’t easy, but I managed to get the module in behind the climate controls without removing them.
My battery went flat during the process of the install, guess I took too long. The PCM was unresponsive once I charged up the battery... I ended up having to pull the PCM fuse to force a reboot. All good after that.
Audio quality was terrible using the AUX out, sounded like an underwater karaoke bar. I had to enable Bluetooth in the Joyeauto settings and now it’s good
The resolution is slightly too tall, icons should be square but are a little bit taller than they should be. It’s so subtle I can live with it, but have contacted Joyeauto to ask if there is a fix
First of all thank you all for your comments, they were very helpful. I installed the wireless Joyeauto system over the weekend to my 2014 911 C4S with Bose and I thought I'd throw out my experience. Not knowing which standoffs I needed, I ordered a kit with several different sizes. I ended up needing M2.5 and about 32-33 mm height, which I achived by cobbling together several pieces and using nuts as spacers. It's not perfect, but it should work just fine. Using these standoffs enabled me to keep Satilite radio. I also was able to fit the external module into the space directly above the climate controles, but I must have accedentally flipped one of the dips while cramming it in as I lost all feed when switching into reverse. I had to take it out and reposition them, but now everything works well. It may be worthwhile to use masking tape to secure them. In terms of required skill, this is pretty low. If you can use a screw driver, you can do it. All the panels required to be removed just pop out with some gentel force. If you're leery, just go slow. As for guides for how to remove different parts/panels, I found Plenum's service manual incredibly helpful, so shout out to him. You can find the blog post (he has a lot of great posts on other projects as well) here: https://plenums.blogspot.com/2016/01...reference.html or the direct download link here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nd...KXs2E3chlOvHmC. As others have said, the system is quite remarkable and really upgrades the look. I highly recommend it.
Does anyone with the Joyeauto kit know if the system can be upgraded to iOS 13 when it comes out this fall? And how does one do the update?
The update is on your phone, nothing needs to be done to the car units. This is how all CarPlay units work, as they are just getting the info from the phone itself.
Installed the Joye kit last night. All went well for the PCB install, including using 40mm M3 standoffs. I am having issues with the installation of the rear camera as the instructions are not very good.
First, I believe the "trigger wire" should send 12v from the reverse switch to the smart box where the diagram shows ". Can anyone confirm this?
Second, the car previously had the maxspeed back up camera where the OEM camera was coded in. I've set the dip switch (8) to on and off with no input to the camera. Any thoughts on why? I haven't tried the CD button to check the settings yet though.

Did you release the emergency brake? The red 12 VDC wire is required to power up the camera, including the yellow RCA connector/s. In the PCM settings select (CarPlay Camera & Camera Video Type CVBS, if available). If you are using an aftermarket camera the #8 dip switch needs to be in the off position. Good luck.

The ebrake was off, no luck. the camera is currently powered on via the reverse lights from the trunk. The red wire "rear-camera 12v" does not send 12v to the camera, I believe this is to trigger the smart box that the vehicle is in reverse, otherwise how would the smart box know? I've tried dip switch 8 in both on and off, without luck.
