This is how it looks installed with the circuit board back in place. It is a tight fit, so make sure to check that it clears the circuit board electronics before securing it. I used 6 Gorilla 24 pound mounting squares. make sure to have the ribbon cable installed before you mount the switch box, otherwise it will be a lot harder to do after you mount it. Then remove the 4 screws for the circuit board and set it aside. Then separate the top and bottom half of the head unit. There is a ribbon cable for the CDR that needs to be removed. Also, the 2 black screws that hold the CD drive need to be removed. Beware, 2 of the screws are longer than the others, so pay attention to which ones. Be careful for leather surrounds on the dash (I scratched mine a bit, ugh).ĭisassemble the head unit: Remove the front and back panels. Put towels over shifter and console to avoid scratches. If yo have any questions, please let me know. So, MAKE SURE the RED wire is facing the adjacent connector (for the touch screen cable), and NOT facing toward the outside edge, then put some tape over the whole thing to make sure it stays secure. The "LCD OUT" wire connector (smaller one) to the switch box can potentially be connected the wrong way. Trust me, I ruined a ribbon cable and had to get a new one shipped from China.I ended up mounting the switch box INSIDE the head unit, and it works perfectly! I will tell you that you CAN NOT fit the switch box in the dash space if you keep it outside the head unit. The kit for the CDR31 head unit requires a switch box in addition to the Joyeauto box. The main roadblock I ran into was that there is VERY limited space in the compartment that holds the head unit. It is the same as my install, but instead of routing the ribbon to be outside the head unit, I angled it to stay inside. You can follow the instructions as to how to install the ribbon cable to the display circuit. The instructions that come with the product leave a lot to be desired. The resolution is not super great, but that is the limit of the screen, not the Joyeauto device. The unit works very well and connects automatically soon after starting the car. I hope this post will make life easier for those who will take on this task. During my install, I had a few roadblocks and headaches, but I was able to solve them. My car had a backup camera installed when I took delivery and was able to hook it up easily, and it works perfectly. My head unit is VERY basic and there in NO Bose, NAV, or Siruis/XM. I installed a Joyeauto Apple CarPlay device into my 2016 GT4. Here is my JoyeAuto DIY install as promised:
