hello I have a few question before ordering , I have heating and cooling seats will work , satellite radio ? and down load video usb drive and passenger watch while im driving ? Also will I lose controlling my amber lighting
I have a 2015 Lariat without the 360 camera. If I can get the cameras for it to retro-fit it, will this unit show those features? I ask because when looking to upgrade from my sync 2 to sync 3... I was told by a stereo shop that I needed to provide the VIN so that the features that I have would be available in the sync 3. The guy made it seem like I could not do an upgrade with the stereo switch. Thanks! Oh... also... do you know if the ambient lighting allows for the Ford programmed color changes?
For everyone that finds that this unit is not made for their car A company called Phoenix automotive makes this type of unit as well it lacks the physical knobs and buttons but is plug and play with easy more vehicles then this unit It will maintain all functions on the touch screen Some units do have buttons though
The only problem with the Phoenix units is THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE. Spend the little extra cash and buy a unit with a good reputation. If you don't believe me just search Phoenix tesla style radio.
How do I plug in the external mic for phone calls? I don’t see that section noted - also the call quality (my voice is horrible for when I call someone sounds like I’m under water they say) any advice?
I have a similar after market screen in my f350….. I am trying to connect the ford pass app to my truck but it’s not letting me. Is there a way to do it with my after market screen?
It says 699.00 for this unit but only 4 payments for 63.09 which is half the price. Also there is no link or price for the idrive head unit needed for an aftermarket sound system which I have.
I used the link that you listed in your description to purchase this head unit. On the 29th of September. A few weeks went by and had no package yet. Someone emailed me asking the year, make and model of my truck, after it already asked that when i ordered the unit and I gave the info. I replied back to the email giving the info again. I just got my package two days ago, went to install it today, and it's the wrong head unit. They sent me out a head unit with a 4-in screen That looks like a stock unit. Of course there's no phone number or anyone to call, so I'm hoping they answer their emails.
Unfortunately not, but there is two different plastic trim pieces by Metra and iDatalink. I just recently installed the iDatalink one in my 2017 ST and it looks sooooooooo much better
Be advised, installed this and used the SIM card connection, didn't work. Long story short reached out to idoing and they confirmed that the SIM Card feature does not work, only reason the sim card connection is included is because it's part of a bundle from their supplier.
Update. I went to NJ and the card suddenly picked up a signal and worked great. Once I left NJ (a few times to NYC and then back to Washington DC) the signal went dead again. I'm using T-Mobile and my cell worked just fine, but the sim in the truck didn't outside of NJ.
Awesome I’m looking at getting a 2012 Jeep Wrangler 2 door and would like to upgrade the head unit and would like to see a install on one of those of a good unit to buy
Some people say the reverse camera aspect ratio and pixel quality sucks with these large ebay amazon units. Is that true with yours? Whats the pixel size, 1024x768?
Is there anyway to make my stock mic work better with this? Wife says that she can't hear me as clearly since installing this. I rather use what I already have instead of running ugly cord to my dash for mic functionality.
I have the same issue and Idoing keeps telling me the unit is ok. I even ran the external microphone to see if it fixed it, but to no avail. I’m going to try another microphone, but fear it won’t make a difference. Anyone else have any way to fix this?
So as per your video the cd player doesn’t have to go back in am I right Looking to get this for my 2018 f150 Also does it comes with an installation instructions for all the wiring hookups Thanks
Check the product specs. Many use Apple car play which people prefer. XM should work on most of these, will be listed in specs. Takes 60 seconds of research
@@Roger-il8iwto buy an android head unit which is basically a tablet totally defeats the purpose if your going to use to just use car play or Android Auto as they are very watered down versions of tech Although it is easier to control with your phone To each their own
Any advice on Camera Flicker? I have the correct settings and just installed today, reverse camera is flickering and cutting out bad. I saw yours is clear but looks like another guy on here has the same issue
Run the ground for the camera to a bolt instead. Read that it mostly due to a bad ground and that grounding the wire to a bolt fixes the flickering camera
@@patrickford9470 ask @motorman87654, I haven’t installed one yet but from my research I’ve been doing, this seems to be a common problem with an easy fix
Did your steering wheel next song? cauise I installed with the new 14" and it doesn't work, you have to install some USB into the OEM with songs on it, to allow it to work. ARe you seeing those issues as well?
Same factory everyone gets them from. Dealers buy and resell these from China. Viknav makes them. Google them. The soft for canbus controls is what is spotty for the new units.
Very Helpful Video....I just installed it on my 2015 F150 its lags a little more than I expected, but overall an improvement...the back up camera quality is really static and I am not sure why, I did mess around will all the options but still really bad. I will ask the manufacturer if there is something I can about it or if I need to replace the camera with a newer technology
@@vaderfx4 I have not yet take apart the tailgate to inspect the grounding cable as someone else recommended. Camera is still distorted, some people have also mentioned if your battery needs replacing that might also be an issue. I will go to autozone tomorrow to have my battery tested...as I plan a 2 hour tow with my boat this week. I do love the radio, get tons of compliments. I also have a 2024 Rubicon 4xe so, this is more my tow rig and haul truck.
@@Reno255xe Thanks for the update I noticed on 17:03 he changed the setting on the cam and it seemed to stop the static I hope this works for you let me know because I wanted to buy this because it has a OEM feel to it with the hard buttons .
If you didn't have any problems with the camera before and you already tried to lower the resolution in the settings, then you probably have to replace the camera with an HD camera. In my 2014, my camera was so distorted that it was useless because the screen resolution was way much higher than the camera, so it couldn't display right. If you gonna replace the back camera, you might as well install a front camera and maybe even a 360 camera really isn't that hard at all.
@@rckyrcky if you have B&O it won’t work you’ll have to get another adapter from the company which I did but it still didn’t work. Backup camera was horrible I just sent it back.
Just installed in a 2019 F150. I had the small screen for the backup camera. When I installed this the camera image is glitchy. Changed the setting like you did and still the same. Any one know a fix?
Someone on another TH-cam said to ground the rear camera for a similar unit, not sure what that entails. I’m looking to buy it for my 2019 F150 XLT, do you have heated seats? Wanted to be sure option still there. I use CarPlay mainly.
@@acomeaux33 appreciate the reply…everything else working ok on it? I have a bass boat so that’s why I was kind of concerned about the camera but I want a bigger head unit.
They make car play/Android Auto stand alone units on Amazon real cheap While they don't look as custom as this type at least you can remove and hide them They're kind of like a long gps
@carmaspeed just installed mines a couple days ago and I love it. Wondering though, how can I control AC temp separately from driver to passenger instead of simultaneously? Thank you?
Do you ship it to Puerto Rico? My radio car is been dead for a year I have a 2019 f150. Really interested in purchase it. Also do you have a front camera to plug it in to the system, perhaps?
Am I missing something...you make a video about a product you sell and say to buy it from your website but you haven't answered a single question asked by viewers in the comments. I guess it's pointless to ask a question that I have.
Since they won't answer the commenter questions about sync3 and sirus-xm. The link below retains full sync3 function to include Sirus-xm. th-cam.com/video/wyvuW0VkOaE/w-d-xo.html
Jeez people, give this dude a freakin break. The title of the video is not "Tesla style radio guru". I don't know why nobody seems capable of doing a few minutes of their own research to answer their questions. Really though, I don't even want to take someone else's opinion, I will do my own research because I'm not exactly like anyone else, so why would I want what you like instead of what I like??? Or is everyone just that lazy?
Also i see that the WIfi does not stay on, working with support in China is some of the worse I have seen, its like talking to a 5 yr old, and they do not understand anything with common sense, video's help , but unless you speak Chinese and explain to their engineers, you will be in trouble and throw it out the window. LEt me know, love to see what your experience was, i am super technical and this new 14" only works like 95% so far.
Amazon and eBay. Bother are made at the same factory in China that everyone resells. I can get the name of the factory. It’s Viknav that makes all these. Their engineers are by far the biggest idiots. They don’t even have a f150 in China haha
@Living00The00Dream They are. Some dealers are able to give better help than others, though. I got mine from autotec Pro based out of Canada, but there are the same units. Just when I need help, they are a little bit more helpful ...sometimes.
