Overall, the T’eyes head unit has been a substantial addition to my 2017 Mercedes Metris. Its functionality and interface are generally impressive, and it has significantly enhanced the driving experience. However, I must note a couple of persistent issues that have marred the overall user experience.
Firstly, the internal microphone quality isn’t up to par. It has been consistently unreliable, with the person on the other end of the line often reporting that my voice sounds distant. Furthermore, when trying to utilize the external mic, no sound is captured at all, making phone communication while driving quite a challenge.
Secondly, the Canbus feature, which used to conveniently display the status of doors and the air conditioning on the unit’s screen, has stopped functioning after the most recent software/firmware update. This was a key feature for me, and its absence is noticeable.
My interactions with the tech support team have unfortunately been less than satisfactory. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve these issues, the responses from my assigned tech support person, Mark, have been piecemeal and ultimately unhelpful. The issue persists, and the suggestion to “leave everything the way it was” did not seem like a constructive solution.
Despite these issues, I appreciate the overall quality of the T’eyes head unit. However, the product could greatly benefit from more reliable tech support and a commitment to fixing bugs after software updates. As it stands, I am left wanting for solutions to issues that impact a significant portion of my user experience. I hope to see improvements in this area soon.
