So this doesn’t include Sirius Xm or ford pass or ur sync system?
@LinksWellInc2 күн бұрын
@@NightmareEcoF-150 it can not include SYNC. That is Ford only. So SYNC itself is lost. The companies that make systems that are screen replacement only retain the modules but the interface is very clunky as you go in and out of factory screens and features and into the new aftermarket features. You as well don’t get all the aftermarket radio add ons like Preamps for aftermarket amps and what not. Then lastly you run a huge risk of having major firmware issues when Ford does updates to their system. It can create all sorts of issues for aftermarket components interfaced in. We know this first hand with our older camera and navigation interfaces to Ford radios. Ford MyPass app will remain working except the tracking feature due to the SYNC module no longer being in the vehicle to give it location. Sirius XM tuner is inside the factory radio and removed when you remove the factory radio. So the factory XM is lost. With this radio you can install the app and use data, or you phone. We make a different radio that you can add the SiriusXM V300 tuner to. Our Gen 5 T-Style is SiriusXM Ready.

@@69dog44 so ya like any aftermarket radio your UConnect would be lost because it is Dodges Radio system. On the SiriusXM is a LOOONG story. Our Gen 5 has the SiriusXM tuner control which took 3 years to get them to approve it. When we changed the processor for the Gen 6 and XL they wanted us to start that over again. So delaying the release 3 years didn’t make sense for the amount of sales we would gain because of it. So we decided to forgo it. Having the SIM Card option using that and the app actually works for the majority of folks when it comes to XM as well. Just was a number game and we couldn’t justify delaying release years for SiriusXM.

@@omarpadilla7674 so the other brands use a cheap Bluetooth chip. The issue isn’t the mic. It’s the chip itself. So swapping mics will not help their call quality.

DID A WEB SEARCH TO SEE WHAT ANDROID RADIO TABLETS WERE BETTER LINKSWELL OR ATOTO BRAND. THIS IS WHAT GOOGLE AI SAID. When comparing Atoto and Linkswell Android radio tablets for your car, Atoto is generally considered the better choice due to its superior features, dedicated car-centric design, and more refined user interface, making it a more reliable and user-friendly option for most drivers, especially if you prioritize advanced functionality and seamless integration with your vehicle. Key points favoring Atoto: Car-Specific Design: Atoto units are specifically designed for car use, taking into account factors like dashboard compatibility, button placement, and screen angles, resulting in a more integrated look and feel. Advanced Features: Atoto often includes more advanced features like dedicated steering wheel controls integration, advanced camera support (including 360-degree view), and robust audio processing capabilities. User Interface: Atoto's user interface is generally considered more intuitive and responsive compared to Linkswell, with smoother navigation and easier access to key functions. Reputation: Atoto has a well-established reputation in the aftermarket car stereo market, known for quality and reliability. Where Linkswell might be suitable: Price Point: Linkswell units can sometimes be found at a lower price point compared to Atoto, making them a budget-friendly option. Customizability: Some users may find Linkswell's Android experience more customizable due to the wider range of app compatibility. Important considerations before choosing: Vehicle Compatibility: Always check if the chosen unit is compatible with your car model and dashboard layout to ensure a proper fit. Features You Need: Identify the features most important to you (navigation, audio quality, camera integration, etc.) and compare which unit offers the best combination for your needs. Reviews and User Feedback: Read reviews from other users to get insights into the real-world performance and potential drawbacks of each unit.
