- In this video I’m installing a 12.1” android radio and walking through some of its features. This thing is Huge and looks Amazing! It has many,many great features.
The installation is not hard and comes with easy to follow instructions. However you should be fully comfortable and knowledgeable with wiring before you try to install one of these yourself. If you try to install one and screw something up, its on you!!!(ITS YOUR FAULT) So just take it to a shop if you dont know what your doing.
Basic tools are needed for the job: plastic pry tools, 3/8 ratchet/socket set, small/med zip ties, wire cutter

I love how you explained everything I’m ready to order one and actually even thinking about installing it myself by seeing your videos. Big thank you!
Will the “lower 3rd row headrest” button still exist? How about existing DVD player? How about existing GPS turn by turn dashboard integration?
Most definitely bro, grabbing one asap for my Durango. Appreciate the info! 🔥👍🏽
Be ready to deal with a few upcoming issues. So far the lights can’t be changed on buttons for me. Also, the celcius doesn’t change up to Fahrenheit, and my ac controls stopped working and still don’t work. Customer service is no help.
Yeah, I’m having quite a few issues with mine too I’m gonna be posting a video on it soon.
@@AlexsRTLife post it
I’m looking into changing/upgrading my present 2021 radio. Thank you for your info video.
Definitely need one of these. Thanks for the info.
This thing still work good?
Hi Alex!
I have a concern, since the radio attach to the car just by clips, what's your thinking on thieves?
The OEM radio has 4 screws besides the clips of the panel, so the Tesla style radio would be so easy to steel, right???😢
Love it. Gotta get it. I have a 2019 DD RT. Does the backup camera still work. Does it support apple carplay? What about the steering wheel controls do they still work. Basically do I still have all the functions and functionality of the original parts?
Yup for everything!
Do you still have the Sirius/XM Function?
Really nice!
The carplay is that hardwired only or also connected via BT? Great video expl.
I've got the 13" android 10 from pheonix,. It will not play sound and they have no idea how to help me fix it really bad tech support
Dope radio.
Hey Alex does the factory Subwoofer in the rear still work with this radio?
Question about sim card. How does it work and what carrier is compatible?
Does the blue Ray works? Have a dodge durango 2019 rt with entertaiment blue Ray in the seats head rest. I Want to know if they will still working?
Does this work with dodge connect app (uconnect) or would I still need the 4g adapter?
Did you locate and pop out each clip individually before pulling the entire panel out?
I have a 2018 Durango GT that doesn’t support WiFi. With this upgrade, do you think it’ll work?
Im getting poor radio signal. Any fix for that
Question can you still use you wifi hotspot with the radio
Awesome video! Where can I order one from?
What year it’s your truck?
Is the Android and Apple carplay hardwired only or wireless? Great video.
It has a usb plug for the CarPlay that connects to the radio by a plug n play connector
The other OEM cables Pink, Burgandy and yellow. Did you have to connect those? You inst video dropped off before connecting the backup camera etc. I think I got that straight this morning. Did you have the OEM blue ray and headrest players to connect? Oh also, did you connect a provider sim for mobile internet. I found the hardwire slot on the motherboard is tricky. There's a tiny bit of space between the slot and enclosure that if you don't use tweezers, you will lose it. Mine didn't come with directions so your video was helpful.
Where did you get you background image with the red durango
Want to get one. Any issues after your install. Been a year now?
Did you have to buy a wire harness??
What about the back up camera?
Does it work with rear monitor screen like playing videos and stuff?? 🤔
Not sure about that one, I don’t have the rear monitors but good question
can i get one for a 2019 dodge durango gt?
I'm thinking of getting one of these. Did you happen to hook up an aftermarket amp and sub? What about rear entertainment? Does this work with those?
I didn’t hook up any of those, but it is capable for sure
Have you had any issues with this radio
great vid. will i lose my SRT screens with something like this?
Yes you will unfortunately
Will this also fit a 2020 GT Durango?
Thanks for the video. Do you know if this will still work for the Durango with the harmon kardon system and as well as rear dvd entertainment??
Indeed it will. And It has the inputs built in for the dvd entertainment connect
@@AlexsRTLife awesome thank you so much! We just got a 2020 rt last year and we love it. I just subscribed! I’m def Looking forward to a lot more Durango vids!!
My 2012 durango citadel dvd system drive is built into my factory head unit is there options for my
but why don't you use the gps of the car itself ?
Is there a mirror link and DVD in motion 🤔
Not sure about the mirror link but it does have dvd connectivity
I have a base 2014 will it work
I ordered one a month ago an still waiting the company emailed me saying they discontinued the 13” for my Durango so I have to upgrade it every time I call they say there’s nothing they can do until the shipping team sends them the info
That’s a long wait,I know the feeling
Any updates? Such as problems
Any issues yet? Does this have optical output?
Issue? Actually yes, I will be doing a full review video on it. And yes for the optical output. I’m using the optical output for my Apple CarPlay but you can use it for something else I’d need be
@@AlexsRTLife ok I want to use the optical output to my DSP. But if you having issues then I'm prob gonna pass on this headunit
Nice radio I just ordered one, how did upload the interface for the knobs at the bottom??
I can show in a video how to do it
@@AlexsRTLife ok that would be good...appreciate it
Gm ...where you able to keep the navigation to show on the cluster,
Certainly retained it, and all other functions
@@AlexsRTLife thanks ....was there a feature u did to turn on the cluster,because I can't get it to show 9n my 2015 durango
Can you hook a system up to it
Absolutely you can hook up a system and dsp and monitors if you want
@@AlexsRTLife what’s dps and monitors
@@LVGx2 DSP sound SYSTEM TUNER and tv screens
Just wanna know if you still have sports mode and heated seats .
ABSOLUTELY! I didn’t lose any functions at all. And that was one one of the Main things I was worried about but it was all good.
I am trying to upgrade firmware, can not figure that out. I want to change the interface and look of the controls also but again lost. Any help appreciated
I cannot upgrade my firmware as well. Theses a lot of other things that we can’t access without upgrading the firmware. I reached out to Phoenix and apparently the only way to upgrade is 1) through a window computer and 2) you have to be sent a link through dropbox. I’m super frustrated about this! There has to be a easier of of doing a simple firmware update
But you can still change your control interface without updating the firmware but you only will have one other option which is the blue interface
@@AlexsRTLife do you know how I would do this? I’m waiting on phoenix to reply on the CarPlay issue and I will also ask about update or if I even get a link I will get you that
Can you still somehow use the vehicle wifi? I pay that extra fee to have wifi, would I lose that?
I believe you will lose the vehicle WiFi but you will still be able to connect to your phones WiFi or another WiFi source
@@AlexsRTLife Figured, thank you so much!
hello this works for a 2018 dodge durango gt
This should work fine for the 2018 gt as long as your factory radio is the 8” one because this particular arduous 12.1 fits perfect for the factory 8” 2018-2020 Durango
can you change the icons? it's too, crayola for me.
Im not sure, but as great as this unit is it has a lot of negatives
My Bluetooth not working
How do you feel losing the physical AC control?
I’m ok with it. As long as they continue to work properly. I actullay like the touch controls more. Also the fact that they will never stick and become stuck
@@AlexsRTLife thanks for the answer bro!
Does it come with Android auto & airplay? Or is there a separate function to connect phones.
And last question, did you lose any steering wheel button controls?
Yup it comes with android auto which works fine but I prefer using Bluetooth for music. And I retained every single steering wheel control, I would have been hot if I lost any of the wheel functions!
Hey.were can I order one??? Thank you
Phoenix automotive. But wait a sec, I’m about to do a 6 month review video, this thing has some big issues!
Are you able to retain in car wifi
Absolutely. You need internet connection to download apps and stream videos/movies and everything
Do you keep the XM radio?
You don’t, but you can download the app and your good
Does performance pages work with this radio
Not sure about that one. My RT don’t have the performance pages unfortunately. I would check with Phoenix
@@AlexsRTLife ok 😔
Can you write to us the site to buy the screen؟
he said the name
@@myveryown07 If possible, you can write the website link here because I do not understand English, and my writing here is from google translator
Man that eq sucks I have the same radio it just has for rca jacks it doesn't have sub rca out I had to install a EQ for really tune my music I'm running 4 6 1/2 door speakers beymas and 2 12 inch subs with 2 amps but I had to install a EQ on it
You might want to try a different setup. I can can really tune in mine to a T, and I only have the stock Alpine system. The unit also has crossover adjustment so I don’t see why you can’t get tuned in with a crispy sound
@@AlexsRTLife yeah it's kind of goofy but I'm still trying to figure it out I think it has something to do with my factory amp
Iphone work on it?
Yessir, mine paired with no problem
@@AlexsRTLife does it work with an iphone like apple play does with the iphone? Like transfers apps over?
@@ZacWade so it mirrors the apps in your iPhone when the Apple CarPlay is connected but it doesn’t seem to mirror every app you have installed. For example when connected it shows your google maps, pandora, phone book, and a few others. But it doesn’t show ALL apps that are downloaded in your iPhone.
@@AlexsRTLife i got ya, that’s pretty cool man!
He did everything but play some sound 🤦🏾♂️😩
No no don't do it
