6:47 You can find out which is the FM antenna by unplugging one antenna cable at a time with the original radio still connected. If the FM antenna is connected, by hitting the SEEK function from 88.7 to 107.9 FM, you should pick up and lock onto at least 25 stations.

Hey Mr Lewis, I was inspired by you to upgrade my radio to this unit. I purchased this XL unit back in August 2023. I had it professionally installed to prevent any mishaps. The system has been great until this morning started my vehicle and the system didn't boot up. The display screen is black. My system did not have a manual in the box to troubleshoot system. What should I do?

[@LinksWellInc]

No sure who Mr. Lewis…. If it didn’t boot up use the RST button and see if it boots. If it does I would then check for updates.

Can you do a Shelby Silverado 14 to 18 year install on the same unit can you put the video up love your videos

[@LinksWellInc]

Once I get a Chevy radio in stock and my hands on a truck I will make an install video for it. Just waiting on parts

[@pmgelectronics]

I have another question about this GEN six radio by the way thanks for answering my last question. The current question I have now is where do I find the Linkswell dual USB plate for sale everywhere I’m looking at it seems to be out of stock since I hooked up this radio, as you stated on the video, it will not work with the stock USB cables that are built into the vehicle Underneath the dashboard so I’m wanting to purchase this dual USB plate from somewhere. Not sure if I need the small plate or the large plate looks like I might need the small plate but I want to install it so I can give it that factory look and then put your Radio harness USB installed behind it and I just eliminate the factory ones. The other question I have as well is I would like to disable the auto stop start feature on this vehicle. I bought an auto stop start disabling module from another company, but it won’t fit on this GEN six radio I need to purchase the one that comes for this radio which is the Linkswell version of it. I’m sure that the harness will then fit into this. Please let me know where I can purchase this as well as I’d like to finish and fall this radio and that’s what’s holding me back at the moment. Thank you

[@LinksWellInc]

So you should be able to purchase the start stop from any of our dealers. As for the UsB if you used the adapter the factory USBs will work. The only thing they won’t do is CarPlay and with the Gen 6 CarPlay is wireless only. So it doesn’t matter to replace it.

[@cpayne4956]

Hi, I am looking to get a 2020 Ford F-150 lariat, and it comes with FordPass connect, which is a service that allows you to start the truck remotely using the app on your phone, plus other features (such as setting the climate). The truck does have remote start option on the remote key fob, but I was wondering if I were to order and install the 15.6" system (which I REALLY want to get), will that system affect FordPass or can I still retain that feature?

[@LinksWellInc]

You will retain certain parts of the FordPass app. Removing the SYNC module (the factory screen/radio system) takes away some of the apps data inputs. So things like tracking your truck will no longer work. The app will still remote start and lock/unlock the truck. I am not sure how the climate control via app will work. Wasn’t a feature we were able to test in development.

Are you still able to use the HD radio function with this unit? I dont see anything about it supporting HD Radio.

[@LinksWellInc]

We do not have an HD tuner. HD radio is like SiriusXM Radio. Requiring approval and extra parts/cost. With our radio able to do Internet radio we decided that the time, money, and work to do HD radio didn’t make sense in the long run.

[@frankricks6854]

Would this installation affect the FordPass app that allows you to start your truck from your phone and get vehicle security notifications?

[@LinksWellInc]

So the app will function apart from any tracking features. The app gets the location from the SYNc module that gets removed for the install of our radio. Remote start and other functions will remain. Just no GPS tracking.

Let me know if that’s the one I need to use or if I need to use another.

Hi. Last week I had the new T-Style XL 15.6" for my 2015 Ford F-150. I upgraded from your Linkswell Gen 4 for my F150. I really like the upgrades you did to the new tablet and enjoying it. The only negative feedback is that it doesn't have a native HDMI input in the back. I understand there is a adapter can get the job done. That is fine. EXCEPT... the adapter from your company is $129? After I spend $2K on your tablet? Can someone reach out to me to resolve this issue? The adaptor is again not the issue its the additional cost after spending so much money. Was a little surprised this wasn't part of the included hardware or at minimum available upon request to a purchaser of this tablet. Please advise. Thank you! - Jon Baker

[@LinksWellInc]

So unfortunately we can’t change the way HDMi works. We lost the ability to do a native HDMI during COVid. The shut downs put The only company making chips we needed to keep it native out of business. So an external one is the only way we could bring it back. The extra cost of the XL is due to all the extras that come with the XL.

@@LinksWellInc so there is no way to add a usb cable coming out that I can plug into?

@@RyanEllerbe there isn’t. Apple requires a lot of extra hardware to do a USB data transfer. Expensive parts. Part of why we went with wireless. Knowing it will be what is forced anyways.

The reset will fix the setting that is causing it

[@mrbeatty13able]

I really wanted this unit. I was in the process of purchasing it however, the fact the it DOESNT SUPPORT XM radio is a deal breaker for me.

[@LinksWellInc]

So if you have followed our company you would know the long story behind SiriusXM..... We do have a radio that has been approved by SiriusXM. Our Gen 5 T-Style is XM Ready. The GEN 6 and XL both have a brand new processor, which means according to SiriusXM regulations, we have to start the whole process all over again with SiriusXM. A process that is set to last 12-36 months. So in later Generations, we hope to be able to add SiriusXM Ready to them. But this generation will not. App only on these.

What about XM radio with adapter? What speed is the LTE? 4G or 5G?

[@LinksWellInc]

No XM adapter. The way XM works is you have to work with their engineer team on how you control their tuner. So every aftermarket company has to control the same tuner that SiriusXM provides. Every radio has to go through their development process. This process takes 12-48 months. We went through the process with our Generation 5 T-Style. Took 36 months. Because with the Generation 6 and the XL we are using all new Processors and Android version we have to start the process all over again. So we will again, but this means the first generation of the XL and the 6th Generation of the T-Style will not be XM ready. There is only 4G chips available on the market when it comes to 12 volt approved devices. (Phones and tablets have different regulations than something installed on a automobile). You can do SiriusXM via the app on the radio or your phone through CarPlay/Android Auto. Both would require a data connection.

[@williamwalker6208]

Dose this unit maintain ford sync?

[@LinksWellInc]

No we do not retain Ford SYNC. Retaining something like Ford SYNC would limit the capabilities of the radio and create a strange switch between SYNC and our radio. It also would leave us vulnerable for a lot of issues that are out of our hands. Every time Ford updates their SYNC we would have to follow suite. Then depending which software version of either SYNC 2/3/4 you are running when installing our radio, would be a different firmware for us. So there would be a mess of getting a system to work once first installed. We started in this industry making camera and navigation interfaces that worked with the factory SYNC or GM MyLink systems. And we experienced this first hand. So when we started to develop our radios we were a hard pass on adding the issues that will bring. Our radios do just about everything SYNC does. A couple things like complete voice control and car service info we don’t.

If you purchase the HDMI input adapter you can yes, by plugging into the HDMI input. But the theory is because the radio itself is tablets what ever streaming app you want to use you would just download to the radio itself. So no need for a phone.

[@Tohho]

does it fit 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe..?

[@LinksWellInc]

No. We don’t make any radios for the Tahoe.

You use ONLY the plug that came from the screen. If you pulled the 54 from the module mounted in the dash behind the screen that is the wrong one.

Where can I order this

We don’t sell direct retail. So you would need to purchase through one of our online dealers. You can find a local one using the find a retailer tab on our website. Or you can order online through one of our authorized dealers websites like www.FNAautomotive.com or www.adcmobile.com

[@jonovanjeffery8036]

Will this work for a 2016 F150 XLT?

[@LinksWellInc]

Yep.

[@ealv844]

Why is it running such an old version of Android?

[@LinksWellInc]

I explain this a lot. 1. We will never develop on a platform that is actively being updated. That leaves us way vulnerable to issues caused by Android updates that we have no control over. So we will always be at least one or two behind the current one. 2. It takes roughly 12-24 months of development and testing before we can release a radio. This means over the 24 months of us developing and testing 2 more versions have released. So that when we finish testing we could be 4-5 version behind the latest depending on time we start and time of release of new versions. So we will always be behind but that is done to be sure we provide the most stable and long lasting radio we can.

[@flytragiccrab3210]

Will this work on 2020 Ford expedition limited Max

[@LinksWellInc]

No. The Expedition has a rear climate system. So the radio requires a different climate control module that will retain the rear climate system. We make a Generations 5 T-Style for the Expedition currently. But due to low sale numbers we are not sure we will do the work to develop a T-Style XL for the Expedition.
