Please tell me where to get one of those.

[@roncriswell2685]

Does that brand make it for a 2011 F-150 5.0 XLT? I'm looking at a different brand for right now that fits but I really like the way that one looks.

Can you buy this in Canada

[@justinpage6530]

Not only does that look amazing but you just showed me how to take apart my dash!! I just bought a 2018 F150 yesterday.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Heyyyy 2 birds with one stone!.. or video?? lol either way heck yeah dude

[@rjohnstone7549]

Same unit is sold by several different vendors, but they all have the same software and features. They spoof the OS version claiming it as Android 11, it's really and Android 10 (API 29). Some vendors claim it has a 2k display. It doesn't. It's 1920x1200. I've had this unit installed in my 2019 Lariat since Feb 2023. Lots of tweaks and a few headaches, but being able to keep all of the factory functions, including SYNC are why I like it. Wireless CarPlay can be a pain. Make sure you only pair bluetooth to this unit and not the factory SYNC unit. Can cause startup conflicts if paired to both. Anyone thinking about rooting it can forget it. They have removed ADB (including wireless ADB) from the OS and there are no physical buttons to navigate recovery or bootloader. USB protocols have also been stripped down to prevent data exchanges from a PC connection.

[@calvizo1]

Would you buy it again if knowing now what you do? Thank you for the info

[@The08Russ]

I've read all of that on the f150 forums 1 main maker and all resellers basically Hopefully they become root-able soon

[@zachvaughn298]

Anybody know what to do if the audio just stops working alongside of your volume control?

[@michealmotkoski5837]

@@zachvaughn298 im having the same issue with my truck currently, i have read up on it and all i can find is that you either replace ur ACM or send it out to get repaired. Im not sure if this screen will resolve that issue.

[@bluegrass4840]

Love taking a moment to encourage folks they can do it. I work in a technical field and a lot of times it looks like a lot but its actually very simple.

[@iqwest101]

I think your video was fantastic. I’ve done work like this in the past without good direction and came out on top. For some reason I can see my audio settings respond, but I can’t get the volume to turn up. Has anyone else had this issue?Ford F150, 2017 here

Dude that thing is insane..I have a 2017 xlt. Love to have one!

[@vshular1]

GREAT VIDEO!!! How about an update? Is everything still working?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Making an update video for you right now!!

[@Did_U_C_That]

I have the 360 camera at the top of my original console. Where are those buttons? Just wanting to find out if i would lose features that come stocked on my Platinum f150.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

@@Did_U_C_That I am not sure. I have never driven a Plat trim level before, but I would imagine the cameras automatically engaged when you go into reverse. I could be wrong, just my thought process.

[@nicolaswovrl1991]

That dash/trim package looks identical to my 2018 Expedition. Is the installation exactly the same?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I would imagine so. The platform for the ford vehicles from 2018-2020 I believe is the same for all F-150s and expeditions I believe. Could be wrong

[@kevinwhitfield7268]

What about the hazard lights that were on top of the old radio

[@AndrewDoesLife]

That button and its functionality was retained with this new head unit

[@michealmotkoski5837]

@@AndrewDoesLifeSo the trac control etc are controlled on the screen?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

@michealmotkoski5837 no sir. I just posted a new update video on my channel where I show the buttons and gore they still function as normal

Ordered mine last week. Can't wait !

Heck yeah!!!

Does the backup camera still work

[@Sundstrom21]

Also! Where was the hazard lights/traction control buttons moved to?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

They are in the same general place! I showed this in an update video. They REMAIN on the top of the head unit

[@beastinout74]

What happened to the traction control button and auto stop and start button

[@AndrewDoesLife]

You retain all of those buttons their functionality. I’ll make an update video for you showing them!

[@Jay-bi8kn]

How has it hold up over the last couple months? Any new cons?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

So far. so good! Haven't had any real issues yet. I did notice it started (sometimes) not connecting to my phone right away, but that's just an occasional non major issue

[@mattstoots8876]

Just wondering if all the buttons on the steering wheel work for it as well? Like skipping a song/volume etc?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

@@mattstoots8876 yes you retain the functionality of all your steering wheel controls!

Great video. Does your cell phone still function the same with the truck microphone and speakers?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you! Yes, the phone functions just the same as stock even with this new unit

[@steved8563]

Great video Andrew, Question, I brought and installed this unit and need a sim card. What did you use for a sim card and from which carrier ? Thank you

[@kylehite9691]

So do you lose cd player? Backup camera?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I didn’t have a CD player, but you retain the backup camera. I e posted several update videos showing features and answering more question just like this 😎👍🏻

[@didiermerci3003]

Does the new set up not take away the FordPass capability?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

@@didiermerci3003 no it does not. I still use my FordPass every single day!

[@aftabmohammedify]

How long have you had it installed? Curios to know How's it been performing.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Coming up on maybe 8-9 months now. It’s still performing great. I have several update videos on my channel talking about various things

[@joecampbell939]

I installed same one in my 2016 f350. I like it. There is suppose to be a wiget you can install to change background. Do you know what it is?

[@cwduffy2931]

Have the tweeters for sound working.. but not the amp that runs all the other audio speakers...help???

[@jay_volpe]

how bright are these screens? can they work great when the sun is beaming?

[@tsv-haroldadminaccount8832]

Do these units retain AM/FM stations? I have an installer working on it and Nothing shows Radio access. We are also getting no sound. 2018 F150 XLT

[@Sundstrom21]

How's the backup camera?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

You use the same backup camera connection as stock, so it’s crystal clear but on a much larger screen! Haha

[@TiffTovar]

Can you link car play with ur iPhone ?

Yes. Everything still works!

[@Arzola08]

Can you still change the ambient colors?

[@kutiest]

My f150 has massage chair funtion. Is this screen supported that too?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Mine is just an XLT so I am not sure if it will support those functions. I will say I did not lose any of my factory functions, so it’s safe to say you would retain those

[@Evandbec]

Do you know the best alternative to a 2012 F150 XLT? I love the big screen with apple carplay, thanks!

[@hifiwifiguy1024]

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue where KZbinTV gives an error when trying to play. Any advice?

[@michealmotkoski5837]

Does the screen replace the oem ACM? Mine is faulty and was looking at buying one of these screens.

[@stevenrussell6962]

Will this work in a Raptor with B&O stereo?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I would think it would. The Raptor uses the same platform as the F150. Their interiors are identical to me haha maybe some extra carbon fiber here and there but it’s mostly the same.

[@dereksimpson3100]

Will it allow you to mirror from your phone?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

That is a good question. I have not tried that yet, but I will!!

[@SocalRaptor]

Did you put an anti glare screen protector on it?

[@pooleo8]

Any word from the book on the orange and red wires?

[@Michael-nz8dn]

I have the Linkswell. The only thing I hate about it is when you get out of the truck and get back in 10 minutes late, it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to boot up. How fast is this unit?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Man I’ll be honest, it’s brand new and all, but it boots up instantly. Maybe after time or could slow down, but the response time on this is fast

[@michealmotkoski5837]

did u ever solve your volume/radio issue?

[@geoffmaxwell4461]

Here's the kicker, and not to poop on it, I have one too. What you LOSE is your audio. Because it is not a head unit, but a tablet, you lose the features that give you fronts/backs control, tweeter control, all those things that are controlled by a true head unit. Until these things do THAT, music and sound will never compare.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I have not noticed this issue. I did make a video response to this question!!

[@patrickmurphy2653]

Do you loose your steering wheel audio Controls or and thing else ?

@@patrickmurphy2653 no you do not. You still retain the factory steering wheel controls/buttons
