13in Tesla Style Screen In My 2010 F-150...4 Months Later!  

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet. If they have, sorry for repeating it but if they haven't then you may wish to take a look at this. The hissing noise you here is most likely caused by the noise canceling system that the Sony package has integrated into it. When I had my 2013 fusion with the Sony sound, I had the same issue. The solution is that you need to disconnect the microphones that are mounted beneath the interior upholstery on the roof of the truck. In the fusion they were located almost directly above where a persons head would be when witting in the front seats. If you feel around a bit up under the upholstery, you should be able to locate either the mics or the wires that connect them down to thr system. Simply disconnect them by cutting the wires to the mics and the hissing should disappear completely. Hope this helps.

Hello. Thank you for purchasing this unit with us. As for backup camera image quality and brightness you can actually adjust it - put in reverse, then click somewhere on the left side of the screen (left side of backup camera image) and backup camera image settings will appear.

Happy to hear it’s still working great! David Gold with: rolling tones

Looks lovely. My 10 needs an upgrade. My 10 has 83 thousand miles on her, I use her as a truck, not a daily driver. I like this, thank you.

Like your post on the unit. I just install the 13.1 in my Avalanche and so far it is working for the essential stuff. I am just getting familiar with the unit and how to modify the settings. I like that the WiFi does both 2.4 and 5g. It connected my steering controls with no problem. I must say the amount of RCA connectors were overwhelming and took some time to connect them to the right connection but even now I think I may need to change something. I do have a remedy for the hissing in your speaker that I found work for me even with other after-market system - use a RCA Line ground loop noise isolator between the RCA inputs. I used the InstallGear set from Amazon - less than $20. I like your setup and good luck with it.

Thank you for the real review. These real reviews are invaluable in a world full free products/paid “reviews”. I was sold until you told me the sound quality went down

I’ve had this in my Tundra for a year my specs are 4gb ram 64gb rom it’s a beast not a single complain. I have 3rd party launcher and I enjoy my Maps on car play

Thanks for the update date . Am fixing to look into the kenwood . Thanks so so much for all the cons

Sold wow yeah this is 100% a no brainer this is a huge upgrade!

Thanks for initial vids and update, looking to get into a used 12 or 13 Platinum and this type of head unit swap. Looks like the ticket!

Just wanted to commend you for having not just a straight forward and honest review, but for explaining things in a practical way! I’ve been on the fence on these units and your review has been the best one I’ve seen, and the most help hands down. Most of the other ones are just a bunch of complaining because people are mad about a bad experience. So with that, thanks man! Kid love to see a 6 month and 1 year review too…not that I’m patient enough to wait that long, but still 😎

Looks great but the Bluetooth and wifi sounds like it is a big deal at least for me. Thanks for sharing 👍.

2010 with wireless Apple CarPlay! Great improvement

From what I heard a aftermarket camera will look a lot more clear all so I would replace the reverse cameras with bright LED

I put an android head in my 2002 Silverado, it was so dope. Everyone who got in my truck was like that is the coolest thing. I am getting one for my newer Ford. I love the Android heads.

I have a 2023 f150 with factory CarPlay and seems like 3-5 times a month where I have the connectivity issues. From what I used to hear it was more than likely the phone that’s the source of the issue. Vehicle Bluetooth is was more solid from what I’ve been told. I could have been told wrong lol

Thanks! Considering this for my suburban.

Just watched your videos on the tesla style radio and I was wondering how it has held up after about a year and a half? Thanks!

Preciate'cha bro for real review...much needed 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Thank you for the honest review

I’ve been hearing Tesla phone they said it’s better than a iPhone but now you can get a factory dash piece for the Tesla radio/iPad most popular truck in America💪💪👍👍💪💪👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Really joyed your review. Very very helpfu!

Could you imagine if apple made a head unit? You know it would work flawlessly and be amazing but I bet it would cost a fortune

Called a shop asking about these for my 2012 f150 and they said it doesn’t interface with my vehicle. They use the linkswell tablets. So not sure if that was the problem or not.

Thanks for the video man. Really think about it and your video is helpful.

Ive got a 2011 Platinum, Bro I love it and Ive been looking for a for a "tesla" screen so I can watch my RU-vid more safely lol. Im def going with this one. Hopefully the android 10 is less glitchy, but either way it cant be as bad as my factory screen

@2:34 you told no lie lol

Looks beautiful, but I don’t want any bugs😢

I was told to implement its own symm card for connection issues. But Ive had speratic reception issues on radio and a couple times while backing the camera image froze and a moment later unfroze. The front camera image is not that sharp. My gps camera is better and records

On the first video, you had mentioned that the installer had do do some research. Did he figure out how to make the steering wheel controls work?

What happened to the instrument cluster Info/Reset/Unit buttons? Did those get integrated into the headunit?

My bluetooth wont connect from time to time in my newer ford vehicles with built in car play! so that seems to be an issue across the board. Thanks for the video. I have a 2013 F150 Raptor and want to update the screen and add carplay

I have a solution for a better rear camera and also much brighter lighting in reverse. rolling tones

I just added an Apple CarPlay screen in my F150 and left the rest as stock 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ only paid $150 for the 11” HD screen a way cheaper option in my opinion.

This hissing noise can be from the wiring not being shielded enough.

Shit!! All of the cons you named i have those same issues on my 22 navigator.. sometimes hotspot randomly disconnects, sometimes Bluetooth won't connect or will disconnect while on a call... been back to the dealer a dozen times for it... im over it😩

I have had mine for about 7 months .. I love it i dont know why you get the bluetooth an wifi bugs i never had that happen on mines at all

Hey! Thanks for the review on this, really contemplating buying this unit for my 2012 Platinum. If I only cared about the apple carplay aspect of it, would you say its reliable? I really don't have any need for any of the other features on this thing because I really only use the carplay for my maps, music etc....thanks so much!

Still struggling on why radio sounds different when original hardware is retained. Video rendering is not as sharp as original as well. Plus keeping it connected is a chore one second pandora is on the next its off. Very nice but it has some issues

Looking good

I have this in my truck. The screen stopped working which left me unable to control my heat or air conditioning. Or music. Or anything. Much better to have independent buttons. Far more practical

Great review!

I have the same issue just posted a video on this. I have the android 10 model and the WiFi auto cuts off on the screen when it auto connects to Bluetooth/CarPlay. They cancel each other out basically Bluetooth has to be off to ensure WiFi stays on its very annoying. If you find a fix for this let me know. I do have pheonix auto calling me Monday to talk on a fix for it will let you know. I think wireless car play uses WiFi even if your phone doesn’t say it which conflicts with system WiFi from your hotspot. A wire in might fix that issue but you’d probably have to turn WiFi off on your phone lol.

they have this new update for it that will fix a lot of those problems

I like the full screen of the Tesla radio but they all just look so cheap and gimmicky. They don’t give it a factory feel at all. Soundman Audio make a dash mod for the iPad Pro on the 2009-2014 F150 that blows the Tesla screen out the water so I think that’s what I’m going with. It’s pricey though and then there is the iPad Pro purchase also.

I'm driving right now! 😂😂😂

Like.... Precio y dónde puedo comprarlo

Looking to replace my ford stock unit.cant ever get the the Bluetooth to work on my truck..

How difficult is it to find someone to install the unit

Thank you for the video. Were your steering wheel controls retained and work like factory. Sorry if I missed that in the video

Can you hook up a Firestick to it, I have one but it’s not the same model and I have the usb cord to mine as well. I’ve been having problems updating mine also

Is it still holding up in 2024 brother?

Wonder how does it do in low temperature

how is it holding up? Do you still like it? Also, do you have the google play store?

I had my unit a lil ova a year for my jaguar xf. There is no sound now. I've been contacting the company for trouble shooting. It plays sound when it wants too. 🤔

When you put the truck in reverse does the back up camera automatically come on the screen?

Have you seen those videos there is two different guys they had either thousand one or 2002 F2 fifties J put all the parts from 2000 and 1600 2002 and the one guy did the inside of the truck also totally looks like it’s a brand new style truck both of them except for the ones I did the inside as well👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have a 2015 I went to the link site and didn’t see any units for my year.

I just bought this f150 and I want to install a touch screen. Can some one recommend me anything similar to this video 🙏🏼

Got the same unit …have the same issue…

My apple CarPlay would not connect any tricks in getting to connect again? Ty

Are you still satisfied with it?

What brand is that one?

What brand is the screen and where can I purchase it thanks

Can you still control the truck menu on the steering wheel dash area? Are you able to manual deploy the running boards etc?

the stock camera that came with the truck.. was the reverse image on the rearview mirror or did you have a similar radio with large screen? I have a 2012 and my reverse camera shows on the mirror... very small.

One question, do your steering wheel controls work with it. Like volume, skip, phone?

How did you swap the buttons on the top left? For hazards, traction control and passenger airbag? The unit online doesn’t have those buttons it has other ones.

Oh and the SIM card for it if it has it I am getting a SIM card this week to add 5g to it

John, have you had any issues with this since you installed? Have the same truck and considering purchasing.

I have to say I've had this for about 5 or so months and now it started to act up on me. Won't connect to my phone to play music, when it does it gets stuck on the radio or it will play my music then suddenly it just stops playing, and is stuck on the radio again. I am highly upset about it.

Hello Sir I have a F150 2014 will this fit in mine do you know? I have the itty bitty radio standard one? Thank you very much! 💒✝️🙏👍❤️🏡👴🦌 oh mine is the XLT

Hello! After I have connected all the wires in the correct order, my radio blinks a few seconds and turns off. I checked all the wires and they are ok, any idea of what is bad? :(

Are you still satisfied with your upgrade tablet?

I got a question like how do you control the settings on your dash board like checking for faults and checking how many miles until empty

Is there a place I can go to learn how to operate the Android Programs (Phone, Messaging) that come on these and AI Box devices? These are the Two issues I have is programming the Phone and Text Messages. Appreciate any suggestions.

Do these units support cooling seats? I see it does heated seats but concerned if I’ll be able to still use the cooling seats

What is the best brand to buy

Hey guys! Looking to get something similar for my ford f150 XLT. Do you know if it's possible to fit the 2015 year+ 14" touchscreens?

The place where you ordered? Thanks

how do you reset your "Oil Change required" light on the dash cause you removed the buttons for it

Looks great, I'm planning on doing it on my f150. Just one question: What happened to the info/setup/reset buttons?

Do u know if it can be installed in any shop, or what do u recommend ?

Does it have the options for the heated seats still or do you lose that?

How much does something like this cost? I have a 2011 raptor and I’m looking at updating the stereo.

did it go into the lariat okay ?

Hey men I have issue with my heater driver side and back side is not working did you know why ?

Can you still use the heated seat and ac seat buttons on this screen ?

Did your screen ever freeze up

The backup cam is strange because if you're using the stock backup camera, then it's gotta be something to do with the contrast of the screen. If there is an option, turn up the contrast or brightness and see if that helps? Thanks for the video. I'm looking at getting one of these for my 2010 F150 Platinum. It looks cool and I really wish I had carplay in it because the stock "Sync" is terrible. It was great when it was new, but in 2023? It's garbage. Lol

The link for the radio isn't working for amazon do you have another way of purchasing this radio?

Sir do you think this would work in my 2014 F150 and is it really exspensive, be cause I can’t afford thousands of dollars and will it hookup and use my OEM backup camera and everything else, and come with navigation software, I need my CarPlay too! 👴❤️✝️🏡💒🦌🙏

Do the guide lines on the reverse camera curve when you turn the steering wheel like they do with the factory head unit?

Who installed it for you ?

DId you manage to fix the wheel control issue??

Any new updates April 2023

How did you get to connect the carplay wirelessly? Mine only connects with the cable. Also all music from the Bluetooth sounds super distorted. Have you had any similar issues?

Does anyone know where the info, setup, and reset buttons are to be located on this? I only see a slot for traction, hazards and airbag.

Are you able to use a sim card?

Cons start at @5:34
