Finally have the JoyeAuto installed in my 2012 991.1, also installed backup camera and dash cam. Pretty happy with the wireless Apple CarPlay so far, music sound quality is very good - can't tell any difference from OEM PCM bluetooth/iPod input. Like how JoyeAuto installation is OEM look.

Sorry for the shaky back up camera picture...

JoyeAuto Apple CarPlay

Backup camera integrated with sensors

 

I am planning on adding a JoyeAuto unit to my GT4. What backup camera did you use? Also, when you say you included a dashcam, what exactly did you install and how does it work? I know that the JoyeAuto unit can support a front-facing camera, but, I was thinking that meant one mounted on the front bumper for use while parking. Integrating a dashcam seems interesting. Thanks.

 

• There is a super detailed thread about JoyeAuto installation:https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1045...r-991-1-a.html
• Dash camera is stand alone, it is not connected to JoyeAuto. I had it professionally installed so you don't see the wires and it turns on/off with thee car, the dash camera can record video on an MicroSD card and can be viewed/downloaded to the app on your phone.
• Yes you can connect a front-facing camera and a rear-facing camera to JoyeAuto and have both turned on while parking

The whole thing took a good 5 hours as it is the shop's first time doing it, they watched a few videos on Youtube. I'm sure they can do it much faster next time, haha

Let me know if you have any questions, if you are ever in NYC I can show you how everything look/works. I'm pretty happy about the upgrade so far.

 

Any audio dropouts? That's what's scared me off, so far.

 

I drove the car 4 times, total about 2 hours after the installation, so far so good. Haven't had any issue with audio, can't tell difference between JoyeAuto and OEM (iPod or BT).

 

Looking to do the same thing in JC to my c2s. Scared about installation and potential future issue...let us know your feedback

 

Absolutely, will report back if any issue in the future!

Installation looks DIY-able, but as I need a backup camera installation, and I have no experience with hiding the wires and the JoyeAuto box in a tidy way, I sent it to a local shop.

Coming from a 2017 Macan, I miss the backup camera and Apple CarPlay, now I'm all good!

 

same thing for me ACP and backup camera. How much they charged you for installing the whole thing ?

 

$700 total, they said if I want to install a front camera in the bumper, another $100.

 

that’s including the hardware or just labor ? I might think to go there...

 

Just labor...they are not cheap but they upgrade stereos, installed backup camera, dash camera, blindspot cameras for me on multiple cars in the past 6 years, I think they do a good job. Send me a message if you want to see my install sometime, car is in Queens.

 

Thank you very much. I'll let you know.

 

I have ordered the unit from JoyeAuto and am awaiting its arrival. You mention two packages of standoff screws. Did you need both sets or are they just two options?

Thanks,

Todd

 

Hi Todd, sorry I'm not sure if they used both or just one type, I bought both based on some posts on this forum. If you are close by (NYC) I can give you some for free.

 

Looks great! Will be doing my Macan this weekend.
