Linkswell Ford Ranger Radio Review - OEM Radio Upgrade! 

I've been loving it. Still going strong!

I’ve been looking at purchasing a system like this for my Ranger. This might be it.

Sync is not retained with this system. There are ambient settings. The back up camera does work. It should be showcased later in the video. Let me know if you have any other questions. I definitely recommend it!

Well I hope this review gave you some good information! I love this radio. Definitely makes me feel like I'm in a "newer" or "better" trim model, even though this truck is only a 2021. If you decide to get it, use that coupon code ! Thanks for the support!

Thank you! The kit comes with HDMI cables that connect to the screen. I believe it would be possible but I’m not positive. An undercarriage camera would be awesome.

You can add cameras. The radio will come with a front, rear and 1 side input. We also have an optional multi cam interface. we demo under carriage cameras on our Jeep in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gTtj7bMM1nc.htmlsi=Lj91o0nxTZiZ7Va_

I replied with the solution to one of your other comments.

I stated that it was the 6th Gen in the description. Also, the link to the product takes you to the 6th Gen listing on the website.

Thank you! I agree on that. This radio really made my Ranger feel up-to-date compared to the new generation. Really enjoying it 👍

Lol no. The 24 is still way better.

@@Fernando-t8g I don’t have any experience with the new generation Ranger radio but I assume it works great. This is a great fix for someone who has the previous generation and wants new technology.

I am not sure. I'd guess you would be okay, but no promises!

I have used the cellular hotspot, works great. I believe it has Sirius XM, but I don’t use that service.

There is a link in the description! The discount code is “Cactus”. It will give you 10% off! You will need trim removal tools (cheap on Amazon) and a socket wrench kit. I believe the socket required is between 8-10mm. Hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else.

Yes you can! If you don’t want to use Apple car play or android auto, it has its own Bluetooth system. The kit comes with a microphone that I discussed later in the video. Hope this helped!

They do have radios for Rams. Check their website to be sure. I’m seeing that they have them for 2019+ models.

It is pretty expensive. The OEM radio works great. The main selling point in my opinion is that it looks better and has a multitude of options (more cameras, watch videos, etc.). I personally do not like the body style of the new Rangers. However, I do love their infotainment setup. If you're someone who plans on keeping their Ranger for awhile like me, I think it's worth it.

@@OverlandingCactusI feel the same way as you do!

Yes they do! They just charge your device now since CarPlay and Android Auto is wireless with the new system.

Thank you!

Hello! I had the same issue. This is how you fix it. Go to settings - Click Car Model/AC - Press Ford, F150 HI, other - Then Press “Protocol” and select “Changyuantong with Xinpu”. The system will then reboot. This should make the climate controls work. I talk about this in the video at 13:00. Let me know if this helped!

@@OverlandingCactus ok sir I try it now think I did but I try again .

Sir when you fix air conditioning plus then fans start automatically or not ? Beautiful my Star automatically which is indicated that wires of China is different

No sir nothing help 😭

@@SimranjeetSingh-o6x My fan automatically turns on when the truck turns on. If the A/C is on, I just press if off.

Compared to other vehicles I've driven with wireless car play, it's much better. I don't think it'll ever be just as fast as wired car play though.

Yes it most definitely is! I tried to go in with as much detail as possible so people could make an educated decision before dropping that much money.

@OverlandingCactus too bad it's not right hand wheel.
