GAME-CHANGING Upgrade for 12th Gen F-150 Owners | 2009-2014 AuCar Tesla Screen

[@Nebulametal]

"Wow, this upgrade is a total game-changer for the 12th Gen F-150! 🙌 The Tesla-style screen looks amazing and adds a whole new level of tech to the truck. Can't believe how seamless the integration is with the car's functions. Definitely considering this upgrade for my ride! 🚙💨 Great video!"

Hi! Devin and Erica this is Jermey McGuire, the new ram trucks have the Tesla style radio. I like the large screen on the radio y’all installed.” There is one huge flaw With the large touch screen radio, is lack of bottoms dials like on my dad’s 2016 ram 1500 Laramie truck it’s got an 8.4 inch touchscreen Uconnect Bluetooth radio. You can use the climate control and heated and a/c stets on the touch screen and you also can use the buttons below the radio if you any to turn the a/c seats on and control the a/c.” That’s the way I roll!! 🤣🤣🤣

Always the best videos!

Tesla screen looks gay

[@JoeAndMattsDetailing]

Yeah, I need that in my truck or my wife kicks me out the house. I’ll have PlayStation on my truck.😂😂😂😂😂

I can confirm that the built in mic works really well ... Also, I installed this on a 2011 f150 Raptor ... So when ordering get the No Sync option. Mine had OG SYNC, also I will say that there are a bit of connections that are no longer used. It was a bit confusing but it is pretty straight forward installation ... If you can read the instructions that are in black and white and they put letters over the black and white images then reference those letters that you can hardly see hehe Steering controls do work I will say that my unit is different from the one that they installed. I guess I could make an installation video for the 09-12 peeps

[@peppi7777]

Yes that would be awesome to see. What model did you use? I have a 2009 F-150 platinum XLT. Why not opt for sync too? What is the reason to buy it with no sync. Thanks mate.

[@MaddSweetGT500]

@@peppi7777 when you are on the website placing your order it asks you what you have in your truck. No sync, sync 2 or Sync 3. I had sync 1, so you choose the no sync option. Thisnunit, on the back has 09 - 12. So I'm assuming there are separate units depending on your year ... Hope this helps

[@tools4dummies]

@@MaddSweetGT500 yeah i have. a 2011 with sony sound and a touchscreen so i should get the no sync option

[@MaddSweetGT500]

@@tools4dummies correct!

[@tools4dummies]

@@MaddSweetGT500 perfect what about the heated and cooled seats does that work off the screen aswell ?

[@jacobscarbrough7809]

great video. made the mistake buying from phoenix automotive and the radio wont even come on and lots of stuff is in chinese. ill be sending back and buying this

[@Fhad_FRAIH]

Nice work man

[@gettingfitat5015]

Getting ready to pull the trigger on this! How's it holding up for you guys?? Any issues?

[@AutoJourney]

The only minor quirk I've noticed is that it doesn't automatically launch into the third-party launcher I demonstrated. However, this is easily resolved by simply pressing the home button. If you're planning to stick with the default launcher, this isn't a concern at all. Overall, still impressed and happy with it. It's even held up extremely well to the summer heat in the desert, no overheating issues.

[@gettingfitat5015]

@@AutoJourney that's awesome!! Thanks for the update! I'll definitely be using your code when I purchase. 🙏

[@SamAlison63PNW]

I never knew anything like this was out there. Thank you for sharing this information. I just happened to stumble on to your channel today. Is there a system for Apple users?

[@AutoJourney]

I'm glad you found the video helpful! This headunit works great with Apple phones too. Even though it runs on Android (which is just the operating system), it fully supports Apple CarPlay.

[@gherickb8181]

As a super fan can I get the old system 🤣

[@AutoJourney]

It's already gone 😟

[@xxbladexx4471]

Hey dose this work on a 2014 raptor? also do I lose my heated and cooling seats option ?

[@AutoJourney]

It'll work with a Raptor. There is an option for heated and cooled seats in the A/C settings.

[@Mate2Frio]

Do the steering wheel controls work?

[@AutoJourney]

Yes

[@ryandoe9278]

Why do you need wireless car play? Phone shouldn’t be in your hands while you drive, so it shouldn’t matter if it’s connected.

[@AutoJourney]

It has nothing to do with having the phone in your hands. Wireless CarPlay will automatically connect to your phone the second you unlock the truck. Meaning when you sit down it's already on the screen, no need to plug it in. You can get in the truck and go. It's a luxury you don't realize you were missing until you have it.

[@hemma-uo6px]

Nice video! AuCar support is awesome, got a 15.6" Silverado radio from them recently, absolutely loving it

[@aland3382]

These cheap Chinese Android knockoffs are getting stupid in price. Not too long ago you could get one for $500. Great job on the install though.

[@AutoJourney]

There are various F-150 specific Android headunits at different price points-some more budget-friendly, like those on Amazon or AliExpress, and others with better support from companies that invest in their own websites and marketing. The price differences often reflect the level of support and quality you receive.

[@gettingfitat5015]

THIS was what I was waiting for! Thanks for the video!! I've seen so many of these "Tesla" style radios with very mixed reviews! Keep us posted on the long term use/reliability of it! 😊 GREAT job on the video!!

[@AutoJourney]

Will do! Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@Fhad_FRAIH]

27th like ❤

[@jamesparker8120]

I love yalls channel!! Question- does the AC/Heat come on when the truck is started back to where it was last set to.. another unit i was looking at doesn't come in less you turn it back on and i dont want that because with electric start i want the air to come on without having to go out and turn the air on. Great video im gonna order today i think and rewatch your video 10 times probably 😂

[@AutoJourney]

The A/C will save it's last setting. So if you turn off the truck at say 60 degrees and fan speed to two (or whatever), it will still be set on that when you turn the truck back on.

[@jamesparker8120]

Also, i have a 2013 platinum with the factory sync so do i need to order with sync 3?

[@AutoJourney]

If you have factory sync, you have "Sync 2". So order "2013-2014" model year and "Sync 2" option. We had upgraded my truck to Sync 3, but it was not a factory option on these trucks. Don't forget to use code "AUTOJOURNEY" to save $50!

[@deruin78]

Can that unit be installed on a 2009 Expedition?

[@AutoJourney]

I don't believe so. The dash/bezels are different.

[@vudoaesi]

Hi Devin & Erica, I like your upgrade. Is this a no-glare display? Is it bright enough to be able to see with sunglasses on? Thank you

[@AutoJourney]

It doesn’t appear to have any specific anti-glare coating or matte finish. However, glare hasn’t been an issue. If you drive with the windows down, you might want to keep a microfiber cloth handy to wipe down the screen occasionally as it does get dusty. And don’t worry, it’s bright enough to view with sunglasses.

[@peppi7777]

Very well detailed install and explaination. The best out there and it shows your professionalism. Everyone would benefit by following your example of making videos with well done sharing information and installations. Do they ship to Canada? And did you get rid of your sync and last one is do your steering wheel buttons work with it ? Thanks and much appreciated. Keep up the great work and efforts. Well done. Have A great day.

[@peppi7777]

I also have a 2009 F-150 Platinum XLT model. Any suggestions of the Tesla style screen for my truck ? I have everything as original to date. Thanks

[@AutoJourney]

@@peppi7777 Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Regarding your questions, I believe they do ship to Canada, but it's best to check their website for confirmation. Yes, this installation replaces the factory Sync system, and the steering wheel buttons will continue to work. For your F-150, I'd recommend checking out the Tesla-style screens they offer; they have some great options, even with physical A/C knobs! Thanks again for your support and positive feedback.

[@ericwalstrand3512]

I have a 2013 F150 with Gen 1 Sync and want to upgrade to Gen 3 Sync with a new display. I have the non touch 4 inch screen. What are you doing with the one you took out? I'd love to see if you;'d be selling it. Seriously, let me know.

[@AutoJourney]

Sorry it's already sold! There are conversion kits available.

[@ericwalstrand3512]
