Air vent ducts for Fiat 500 Abarth 595 stereo upgrade

[@douwe1472]

Just installed the air ducts, they fit perfectly with the stereo I got! Thank you for thinking along and providing the ducts so quickly. Could not be happier!

[@MrAlexRitchie]

@@douwe1472 you are most welcome my friend. Thanks for trusting in me to provide you the parts. 🙂

[@Life_Of_AL]

The absence of any kind of vent additions like what you’ve produced are the very reason I’ve not upgraded the system in my daughters car. Well done on making these 👏

[@ginobambino8596]

Alex! I just installed your vent tubes and we couldn’t be any happier. So nice to have A/C blowing from the center of the dash again! Just in time for summer. I’m telling anyone who has this issue. Your product is genius. Fits perfectly. Thank you!

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Thank Gino! 🙂👍🏻

where did you find it ?

[@heathenbrewer7205]

Very smart indeed. That’s one of the best looking aftermarket stereo upgrades I have seen for the 500 Abarth, well done.

[@alixaragon261]

Just got mine in the mail and they worked perfectly . I can now feel the ac again . Before they were just exposed openings now they go straight to the sides of the ac . Hopefully they work with the heater . But great product no complaints . Life saver !!!

Another strong recommendation for these vents Nick makes. I got them super well packaged and delivered in good condition to me here in the USA. Perfect drop in part, and I highly recommend them.

Definitely very useful. Picking a stereo for these cars is a difficult choice if you want a screen. You are losing access to something with most solutions available. I also dont want to cut the original vents to fit in a stereo. This will help.

[@andrewstones2921]

There are 2 versions of this 9” stereo and housing combination. Yours takes a “standard” 9” Chinese unit such as the Teyes, and has no way of ducting the air to the vents, another more common version comes with a slimline version of the stereo with the electronics perpendicular to the screen and a metal or plastic divider between the back of the stereo and the vent, they look totally identical from the front but quite different from the back. I like yours better if you have those ducts as it allows a wider range of options for the stereo. I fitted a Teyes unit to a VW Polo last year and was/am impressed with the brand, but 6 months later I fitted a much cheaper generic 9” with no brand and it was actually just as good, so I guess there is a bit of luck involved with generic models but Teyes is as close to a brand name as these units get.

[@MrAlexRitchie]

You are right. It is always pot luck with these types of units. I’m no stereo expert. I research and ‘saabunleashed’ who does the stereo reviews on KZbin gave the unit a glowing review…. so I went with that. You are right about the surrounds being different. The surround I bought though has the ability to do both a unit like mine and the ones that go perpendicular to the screen. It has all the brackets to do both. A few people have converted their ‘square faced’ surrounds to one like mine so that they could get the ducts as well.

[@richiero0o0]

They all come out the same factory, the "brands" are just resellers but you might get better customer support with them. The actual units are identical.

[@danielharkins6589]

Do you mind providing the link to this exact stereo? In addition, are you by chance making and selling those air ducts? I would be interested in purchasing a set from you.

[@renanpassos]

Hello! All good? Could you make the STL file available so I can print the part in 3d?

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Hello, at present I am not releasing the STL file. I didn’t expect this to gain much traction. As it turns out, I had a lot of orders to make parts. As a result, I’ve put a lot of time and effort into being able to supply a product to people who have been buying them. For now, I wish to keep that IP safe, and sell the ducts as an item. I hope you understand. All the best, Alex

Whats the brand of the stereo and also where to get the ac vent

[@MrAlexRitchie]

The stereo is a Teyes CC3. Hello! Sorry for the delay. For some reason the comments have only just shown now. I’m currently on holiday with the family. I’ll get into sorting this when I get home. Really glad you like the parts. I’ll be in touch in about a week.

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Hello, I am currently getting quotes for manufacture of the ducts. They are more expensive than I’d hoped. At the moment, realistically it’s going to cost around £80 to you. I am now looking to manufacturing in China. What I need now is an idea from you of how much you’d be willing to pay for these ducts? From there I can negotiate quality, delivery etc witch the firms. Ultimately I want to make this happen for everyone as I think it would be really cool. I do have a full time job and it was never my plan with this to set up a business. So ultimately if I can’t get the parts made at a price that works for people, then I’ll have to just can this and leave it as inspiration for people to do their own thing. I’ve set up and email address: [e-mail]. If you could please email me with a ‘what you’re prepared to pay price’. I get all the feedback together and then find the common ground to negotiate with the supplier from there. I hope this all works out. Thanks for your support and positivity. All the best, Alex

Hi Alex, id it is possible I want to buy 2ducts. I have installed the same android , but i don't hear the audio. Do you know why? Do you have a poctures of the cabeling/connectors?

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Hello AC, I’m looking into producing the ducts for other people. Need to figure that out. I’ll update as soon as I figure it out. As for the head unit, is it a CC3 from Teyes? There are lots of 9” android head units out there that look the same,…. but they are definitely not the same. I had to contact Teyes and get them to make up a harness for my car. It was a simple plug and play. Other companies expect you to do the wiring yourself.

[@dueyfish2617]

Alex do your vent mods fit all Fiat 500?

[@MrAlexRitchie]

@@dueyfish2617 Hi, they will fit all models from 2009 to 2015. If you have the same stereo and air vent combination that I had to start with, then they will fit. The main thing to look for is to make sure that the surround you buy for the new stereo has rounded edges under the vents like mine. If the surround is squared off / flat faced, then my ducts do not fit perfectly as shown. You can cram them in and many have. But it will no look as plush as the finish I have.

[@STRmw2]

i don't suppose you have a design for a slightly different head unit? we got my sister a smaller screen where the vents are slightly larger but not having vents or even control over the direction of airflow is a real problem now

Is the TEYES CC3 decent?

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Both my wife and I are really pleased with it. It’s got way more capabilities than we use it for. I chose it after watching a review from “Saba Unleashed” here on KZbin. Basically Teyes offer customer support and they updated the software. For that was important incase something didn’t work or go right. I did contact them about something and they got back to me really quick.

Hi @joshuarenouf. Yep, wireless Apple car play. Works great. It’s literally the only thing we use it for. And a reversing camera I installed. The unit is already geared up that when you put the car in reverse the display switches to the video feed. Seemed too easy not to install one.

Hi there. I would like to purchase same radio for Abarth 500 but I’m struggling to find harness for it. Trying to contact teyes through social media but seems I can’t reach anyone. Any suggestions? They do sell through their website version for fiat 500L but I’m not sure if this would fit Abarth 500 ?

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Hi! It wasn’t straight forward that’s for sure. Once I got hold of them through the customer support aspect of their website, I sent them pictures of the car harness and the back of the current stereo. I also sent them pictures of the stereo spec and harness configuration which should in a sticker on top of the standard stereo. From there, they were able to provide a harness to suit. The Teyes UK site did not offer the facia frame / bezel to go with it. So I purchased mine from AliExpress. I can provide a link if needed. Anyway, they also sell a harness with the frame which looks identical to the one I received. So I ‘suspect’ it’s just a generic loom that fits all android 9” stereos that go in that frame. Hope that makes sense. Also I had to cut and rewire one of the cables in the provided harness as it was causing my car battery to drain. Turns out this is a thing that can happen with Android car headunits. It was an easy fix. Just worth noting. Hope that helps.

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Try that. You’ll see that you can buy just the frame or the frame and the harness or just the harness. I’d be surprised if it didn’t work. Seems odd to me otherwise to advertise the frame and harness when it’s specifically designed for a Fiat 500 and a 9” android stereo. The Teyes unit has the options to configure the steering wheel buttons as well. So as long as the harness connects the canbus to the steering wheel controls, you should be able to configure them if they don’t work straight away as mine did.

[@MrAlexRitchie]

Hi Robert, I’m still on holiday but though I’d give a bit more feedback. The head unit is from Teyes and is the CC3 unit. I contacted them and send pictures of the standard head unit. From there they were able to produce the plug and play wiring harness and canbus controller to ensure the steering wheel controls work. It all works fine. I would stress, just before I left for holiday we did suffer a dead battery which seems to be a common result from an android head unit install. It’s only really a problem if you leave your car for long periods, which I did that week. Never the less, not cool. Looks like it should be a simple wire switch to remove the BATT + wire from the canbus and replace it with an AAC wire so that the canbus only turns on with the ignition key. Once I’ve figured it out. I’ll do another video as these whole thing seems to have gathered traction, which I wasn’t really expecting 😂. As for the vents. I can provide a CAD file and you can arrange to get them 3D printed. Or I can look to get a load made as there seems to be a bit of demand already. Hope that helps. 😊👍🏻
