Single beep coming from dash every 1 minute

Anyone experience this before? It’s frequent- every 1 minute when the car is on, even when driving.

The only thing I did recently was install a new radio (Teyes CC3).

That's the radio beep. Something you may have done /didnt do is causing it. So you can rule out seatbelt warning etc... 100% from the radio. Does your Bluetooth connection light go off and on with the beep? What about if you have your phone connected through Bluetooth, is it getting full then no signal?

Dumb question- where's the bluetooth connection light?

I think you're onto something though. Some additional context, So with the Teyes head unit installed, I'm connected via bluetooth to that head unit as a device. HOWEVER, since I still have the stock radio in the car, my phone asks me if I want to connect to "Genesis Coupe", every now and then; that's the request coming from the stock radio. Even when I connect to the stock radio though, the beep still goes on.
Sitting here thinking about that sound, i heard before in my car. Here you go, i believe your radio is drawing too much juice. These cars have a beep/chime every minute or so when there is a power drain.
Try this to see if it's the same frequency and sound. Go out and listen to the radio but with the car off (of course ignition on accessory) and wait. After 10 minutes or so you should hear that exact same chime and frequency. If so...go back and check your power and ground wires from the radio.
Also...when the car is off you should get a warning between the tach and speedometer saying power drain from radio or something like that. Won't get that while driving and the car running.
Let me know if that duplicates that sound.

Finally got around to testing this. So, I replicated everything you mentioned and it all checked out...with the exception of the power drain warning from the radio. So it's most likely is a bad ground?
Def a short in the radio. The notice that pops up would be on the radio itself so that's why you didn't see in on the dash. I made a mistake on where the notice pops up. To answer your question....yes 100% you are getting a drain from the new radio. I'd you recheck and make sure you ground and power lines are properly installed and grounded, it should fix that problem.
