Searched TH-cam all day n finally found a real person with some sense in regards to this head unit. I liked and subscribe less than 3min into the video, I really appreciate you n your time!!!
I appreciate it, this is why I do what I do. plenty more content on the way I keep getting questions about the unit that I didn't cover in previous videos...stay tuned.
@@MrMartin405 I just saw a video for Nitty brand that allows for a sim card insert, which seems like the best option. But I like the phoenix look better. I need to check out your older vids on upgrading my citadel to the RT style exhaust
@@MrMartin405 how do i get custom firmware ? I hit up the guy on fb but his page hasnt been active for a couple years since you’ve made the videos for the settings
Great video series on this! Have you had any issues with vehicle functionality, and do you have any problems with the physical buttons on the bottom not working or staying lit after you push it off i.e. "eco" and "forward collision warning" lights?
thanks I may have one or two more videos to do still learning things and getting new questions from you guys. no issues with the bottom buttons or any functions. thanks for the support to the channel boss stay tuned.
Thanks for the info, I have been trying to find a way to play cloud gaming on my HU but cant get the controller to connect let alone whats apps are good for gaming so let me know if you figure it out.
yeah mine is a 4gb ram 64gb fastboot unit, mine wasn't still running like the day I got it and I wasn't running a custom firmware I'd upgrade. well between that and not buying from Phoenix automotive again.
lighting cable and I was running it from the unit from one of the USB inputs from the unit but I have since run that cable to a fast charger and have it hanging there for my phone.
@@MrMartin405 did you have to run a split off the OEM usb connectors and is it on the always hot circuit in the center counsel? I've been thinking of doing something similar, connecting my phone with a shorter run.
It’s wireless you should be able to turn Bluetooth on on your phone and WiFi I believe can’t remember which one it uses then go to the app on the stereo and it will connect I’ll make a video soon hopefully have it up by today early morning
I would go into settings and factor reset it and see if there fixes the issue with the heat/ac as for the sound would make sure all the wires are correct in the rear.
no it's pretty much plug and play, you shouldn't have any issues if it is built correctly I've been on both sides my unit has been fine for going on 3 years or so but I had a bunch of issues with a unit I was installing in an Escalade. 🤦🏾♂️ the units and the customer service more less the customer service it's horrible.
Good video, What year is your vehicle? I have a 2012 Avalanche that I don't plan on getting rid of. I want to get one of these but all of the other reviews keep saying the customer support is not good. Whats your experience with their support?
2016, when I had issues when I first got it customer support was great they setup me an appointment and FaceTime me and walked me through upgrading and fixing my unit...I have heard some crazy stories though.
I'm not sure I would bet on it working more than it not because they build it for your vehicle, I would reach out and check. that is one thing I can say the reply before your purchase is on cue 😂
hey bro I have Waze but it doesn't work says I need internet connection. but I have my mobile hotspot on and still no connection... any idea on how to make it work?
Were you able to fix the Xbox issue??? I have the same problem the only device i was able to get going is my Google stadia controller connected thru the USB. So I can play cloud games with Google stadia only.
Yeah I was I just connected my Xbox controller through the USB port under the screen, but the other problem I am having is the Hotspot is not strong enough to run it to play my games on the screen...still trying to figure it out I'll post an update when I get it figured out 💯 percent
@@MrMartin405 can you post a quick video? They had my radio all screwed up when it got to me and half the settings that should have been there weren't. Love the radio but seriously dislike the company so far
@@MrMartin405 ok thanks.....I thought u can make it stay on ...they finally shipped out my android 10, 13 inch, just trying to familiarize myself to it become it comes
Gm...just got mine in , ???? Do you still have the navigatiin on the cluster , also I have 2 purplish, I tan , 1. Blue and one black connector on the rear, which is antenna, a d which one is factory GPS Thanks

My guy, doing it big! 🔥👑
appreciate it boss
My bruddah thank for the inspiration. I have 2014 durango . What I can't makeup for speed. I makeup for interior mods
already boss, can't wait to do a few more things to mine.
Do you know anything about using this In a Durango SRT? I really want this but it wouldn't make sense if I lose my SRT performance pages.
Man I wish I knew, the newer unit may have the options for the performance pages, they don’t sell the unit I have anymore keep me posted.
Now Mopar sells a monthly wifi adapter you hook into the data port beow the steering wheel, like a hotspot.
man I need to I have a android phone that I have wifi running from so I don't have to worry about it, I need to get a wifi hotspot from Verizon.

@@MrMartin405 Just saw this today. Android 10 Dual SIM slots with built-in 4G LTE support.
brother what program did you use to get rid of the ac controls or get them out of the way ?
I am running a custom firmware

Does carplay car bridge have an aspect ratio setting? the screen is 1280X, right?
honestly I don't know it is what ever the stock aspect is whenever I watch something on it which is rate it looks like TH-cam on the stock app.
Thanks for the info, I have been trying to find a way to play cloud gaming on my HU but cant get the controller to connect let alone whats apps are good for gaming so let me know if you figure it out.
I got you boss.
Does it work with rear monitor screen like playing videos and stuff?? 🤔
that I don't know boss.
you can put the rear camera while driving
Yes.
You have to add another camera or is it the same one that comes with the car
it's the same one, my Durango didn't come with one so I had to install one but it will pop on factory or aftermarket if you select camera.
Thank you very much for all the information
you're welcome appreciate the support to the channel boss.
What is your Ram situation on this model . One I'm looking at has six core 64GB
I believe that is what mine is I'll have to double check, I know the newer versions are a little better that the one I have.
@@MrMartin405 yes they have 8GB 132GB I think core is 8
yeah mine is a 4gb ram 64gb fastboot unit, mine wasn't still running like the day I got it and I wasn't running a custom firmware I'd upgrade. well between that and not buying from Phoenix automotive again.
? What is that port let of your screen at 9'olcock? And how was it installed? thanks
lighting cable and I was running it from the unit from one of the USB inputs from the unit but I have since run that cable to a fast charger and have it hanging there for my phone.
@@MrMartin405 did you have to run a split off the OEM usb connectors and is it on the always hot circuit in the center counsel? I've been thinking of doing something similar, connecting my phone with a shorter run.
@MrMartin405, does the guardian streaming work well? Is it a android hack or app from google play?
yeah I ran it from the console and yeah it's always hot.
@mrMartin405 thanks for the reply. I'm still confused, is the android and apple wireless or do I need to hard wire connect?
It’s wireless you should be able to turn Bluetooth on on your phone and WiFi I believe can’t remember which one it uses then go to the app on the stereo and it will connect I’ll make a video soon hopefully have it up by today early morning
@@MrMartin405 But is that related to Apple carplay and Android Auto?
I get BT.
Also, did you use standard or expedited delivery?
@ByronForrest2010 I believe so
Can you provide a link to the guardian stream apk? Much appreciated if you can
How much did it cost ?
mine cost about $800 at the time but they have different opinions now.
Just purchased a durango that has a Phoenix radio but no sound smh annnnnddd the a/c blows heat smh any advice
I would go into settings and factor reset it and see if there fixes the issue with the heat/ac as for the sound would make sure all the wires are correct in the rear.
Did you have any bugs or issues with the unit?
One early in the backup screen would stay on but they fixed it with an update after I talked to someone from customer service.
Hey can you hook up 15 inch subwoofers to this
Yea as long as you have the right amp to push them.
Hey you in Chicago? I would love this installed in my Durango
Oklahoma City, they are definitely worth a look much better than factory.
@@MrMartin405 do I need to purchase anything extra outside of the screen?
no it's pretty much plug and play, you shouldn't have any issues if it is built correctly I've been on both sides my unit has been fine for going on 3 years or so but I had a bunch of issues with a unit I was installing in an Escalade. 🤦🏾♂️ the units and the customer service more less the customer service it's horrible.
Wuz up bro, what part of Oklahoma are ya from? Midwest City here. Looking to get one of these later this year
what's good boss.... Edmond bro I was in Midwest city a few years back, yeah boss you won't regret it.✊🏾💪🏾
Do your bezel buttons work
yessir, update video coming soon.
I am not an android guy so please excuse my ignorance. How do you choose you launcher? I see a lot of people using px6. Is that considered a launcher.
in the playstore you have to download it from the Google playstore
Does video in motion work or does it lock out?
It works, you can switch it on or off in the settings.
@@MrMartin405 awesome thanks. We just ordered ours for our Durango. Does it have a simcard slot?
sweet, if you have any questions I got you boss. I don't know if it has a slot for an SD card I'll have to check.

Thanks for replying to me, although you have a Dodge, do you know if 5onstar will still work with this radio??
I'm not sure I would bet on it working more than it not because they build it for your vehicle, I would reach out and check. that is one thing I can say the reply before your purchase is on cue 😂
@@MrMartin405 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where can I find that tv app??
I got one in my cts coupe just got it in last yr has there been and updated recently brother ??
yeah it may be one if you haven't upgraded since you installed it.
hey bro I have Waze but it doesn't work says I need internet connection. but I have my mobile hotspot on and still no connection... any idea on how to make it work?
You may have to update Waze and then restart it I know I have had the same issue before, or you may have to just reset the unit if Waze is up to date.
Your x box controller will 1000% work if you connect it with the usb
Link to the unit?

Thanks for the video. Do you have a link for the newest radio? Want to get one for my 2014 Durango.

You should be able to if it has cloud gaming, and I used a different launcher so I can use whatever background I want.
@@MrMartin405 thanks for the quick response!
Gotcha boss 💪🏾
Hey? Where can you I find the app for the tv
you just google guardian streams APK.
@@MrMartin405 I searched and searched. Can’t find it. Like at all. And I’m pretty savvy with tech
How did you remove the top and bottom bar?
In the settings....I believe in the user settings.
Ok thanks imma check it out
@@jamainejenkins9660 Holla at me if you can't find it or need the code to get into the settings boss.
Ok thanks bro...it should be the same settings...I just got one for my escalade
@@MrMartin405 I have another question bro...what are the top and bottom bars called in the settings I'm having trouble finding it
How did you hide the bottom bar? I figured out the top bar cannot get the bottom bar.
it should be in the same settings right under top bar.
@@MrMartin405 can you post a quick video? They had my radio all screwed up when it got to me and half the settings that should have been there weren't. Love the radio but seriously dislike the company so far
I got you boss be on the lookout for a short video to get to the setting and changing this feature.
@@MrMartin405 you rock. They just sent me another update lol
video up...hope it helps boss.🛠
glad to see you back....how do you show the knobs on the radio?? ac control
appreciate it, I swipe up from the bottom or the top and the show for a second or two.
@@MrMartin405 ok thanks.....I thought u can make it stay on ...they finally shipped out my android 10, 13 inch, just trying to familiarize myself to it become it comes
