Linkswell Automotive Inc. Ram T Style Installation Video

[@raymondshepherd8703]

I just had this radio installed in my 2013 RAM. Looks great and I'm still learning about the details to make it "my own". I see AC controls, what about heater controls?

[@LinksWellInc]

Same controls, you just turn the temp up to higher heat

[@jamesa3291]

They have a few online they are factory refurbished are they any good

[@edgmac1]

Can i still use the trailer options in settings that lets me store different trailer brake options and adjust the trailer output for the brakes?

[@LinksWellInc]

Yep. We have a Vehicle icon that gives you access to the menus.

[@alexkelly2011]

I have this radio installed but it seems like the harness that came with it is faulty, do you sell the harness with the brain as well or do you know where I can get one, the place I purchased it can't help, they just told me to buy another harness?

[@bradsetz]

How did you connect the Sirius XM antenna?

[@LinksWellInc]

@@bradsetz if you have a Gen 5, then you need to get the Sirius V300 tuner. And the antenna plugs into that tuner.

[@finkso2]

Can a sim card be installed to give constant internet access?

[@mikegreensill1020]

Did that truck have 2 back camera's and how did you hook it up please

[@LinksWellInc]

If your truck has 2 cameras you will need to add a 3rd party camera switcher that will allow you to flip between the 2 camera signals.

[@mikegreensill1020]

@@LinksWellInc thanks you. That sucks tho as it it's not worth it to install that switch after spend 3grand on a radio

[@LinksWellInc]

@@mikegreensill1020 not sure why you paid 3 grand. That is quite a bit over MSRP…. That is the first concern. Second is no aftermarket radio offers 2 inputs for a reverse camera. It’s just not a thing. We have 2 other camera inputs which 90% of other aftermarket radios don’t have. They just aren’t designed to work as secondary reverse cameras. Wanting to flip between different cameras in the same input will need a switcher on all radios. Just the nature of it all. Dodge built into their radio 2 inputs. The only company that does that actually. Ford’s multi camera set ups actually have their own external switcher. We can retain those because we can control their switcher. All their cameras go to a module then a single video signal to the screen. With Dodge bringing 2 video signals to the radio makes it need an extra part. Sorry you feel we should be able to do more.

[@javiervelez1971]

Ok Im stuck hope you can help. I have a 2015 and it came with a OEM backup camera. When I switch it to reverse it wont come on the screen. I can get it to come on if I go into the camera mode manually but thats it. Any ideas

[@LinksWellInc]

Is it flipping to camera when you put it in reverse and saying no signal? Or is it not flipping at all?

[@MountKash1]

Can you see if you connect this unit into a 2015 - 2018 chrysler 300 !? Just to see if the radio itself with actually work and be fully operational in the 300. They have pretty much the same uconnect system and I'm just curious if this tesla style android radio they are providing for the Ram will also work in the 300 or not. They currently don't have one available for the 300 with attached housing like this but I'd just take the radio from the ram plastic housing and just customize the housing myself to retro fit it into a Chrysler 300.

[@LinksWellInc]

The radio itself may work. The Climate control buttons on the bottom would be rendered inoperable due to the Ram and 300 being very different there. The Unit itself can be powered with any normal power and ground, so the Android tablet and radio can be used as a radio and tablet in any vehicle with a certain amount of customizing, but would have dead icons with all of the vehicle climate controls.

[@JS-io2bj]

Was wondering if there will be one available for silverado years 2007-2013

[@somuniquephotography]

Can I still use my factory voice command controls on the steering wheel for making phone calls?

[@alfredibarra8526]

Do you get updates in this android radio? Or you get stuck with whatever software system it comes with??

[@LinksWellInc]

Alfred ibarra we offer updates for the system as a whole if there are needed updates. But when it comes to the Android version that isn’t an updateable feature because when we move up in Android Platforms the requirements of what hardware we have used to build the tablet have to change with it. So it would allow us to move software across the different Generations.

[@felixgonzalez8602]

Whats the difference between your $1900 radio vs the Chinese $750 radio?

[@LinksWellInc]

We get that question a lot. We have put in a lot time in our product development and software work. The biggest concern that was expressed to us through beta testing was to be sure we didn't have issues with the climate controls like many of the others have. Ours will also come loaded with Navigation. The others use a data based navigation system which requires the use of a cell phones hot spot, ours can do both. They may seem the same but there are big and significant differences in quality of function and product development.

[@Turshin]

Felix Gonzalez American made that's what.

[@ericturnpaugh2995]

I hear that your software is different but is the base hardware the same radio. basically are you selling the same radio just with upgraded software

[@LinksWellInc]

We can not say what the other companies use in their manufacturing, we can say for sure we do indeed have some differing hardware that allows our unit to work better and makes it much more reliable. Our CANBUS interfaces, among other some other important parts are all created in house.

[@ramathorn1982]

How do the cameras inputs work and how many are there? How many inputs are there total and what type of input are they?

[@LinksWellInc]

There are 3 camera inputs. Rear, Right, and Front. The Rear camera will automatically display when the vehicle is put into reverse. The right will activate with the right turn signal and the front is accessed through the "Camera" icon. All three cameras can be accessed through the icon as well. Inputs are basic RCA inputs. It comes with an AUX video/audio and a DVR video ONLY input. You will also be able to maintain the factory USB input as well as gain a second USB. The USB can be used for audio and video from a Thumb Drive. We will also be able to retain the factory CD player if your vehicle is equipped with it. This currently will use the AUX input though.

[@justinburke3477]

Only thing keeping me from buying one is the lack of integrated satellite radio. Other than that, this system looks awesome!

[@LinksWellInc]

Justin Burke we are super close to getting sat radio finished up. The process is roughly 18-24 months long when working with SiriusXM in development.

[@edgmac1]

​@LinksWellInc any update on this with XM and also wanted to know if trailer controls still work using settings to choose different trailer setup.

[@abohamzah8149]

Can We fit it to 2012 Ram ?

[@LinksWellInc]

It will not work in that year truck unfortunately. You could install one of our Universal T-Style radios in it though.

[@captkozmo]

How many RCA's are there. I need front rear and sub. If those aren't all available, will my PAC AUdio Amp pro 4 adapter still work?

[@LinksWellInc]

Our current model comes with front and rear RCA Outputs. The PAC Audio Amp pro 4 would still work if you prefer using that. Our unit works just as the factory radio does.

[@captkozmo]

Thank you

[@rogerleuterio5735]

I got mine installed on my 2014 Ram Ecodiesel, but im only getting sounds from the rear speakers. Will you be able to tell me what to connect to get the front speakers working. Thank you

[@LinksWellInc]

It sounds like you used the amplified system harness. There should have been 2 harnesses in the box.

[@Jk-nz1qe]

[@clarkkent2260]

does the stereo display and read back your text messages? Like the factory stereos.

[@juanmuniz943]

We tried to fit a 12.1" in the 2013-2018 Ram, but there isn't enough space for it to work properly. Our 2019 Ram will come with a 12.1" screen though.

[@duba6175]

Can you plug without the can bus?

[@LinksWellInc]

You can. But the CanBox is what tells the radio what to do. It is how the radio knows the truck is turned on, that the lights are on or off, if doors are open, if the truck is in reverse. Without the CanBox the radio doesn’t know what to do.

how does the unit work with the buttons on the steering wheel and information screen on the gauge cluster?

[@LinksWellInc]

All the buttons on the steering wheel work, apart from the voice button due to our unit not having a voice control system in it. For the info between the cluster and unit, we are able to send a limited amount of info to the cluster.

[@007Knightjp]

LinksWell Inc. I mostly keep the information screen on the fuel economy so I guess it’s not a big issue for and I hardly use the voice command

[@troyperezsr]

@@LinksWellInc So, what cant be displayed on the instrument cluster? Are you saying we wont have all the same options for our instrument cluster?

[@LinksWellInc]

@@troyperezsr The truth of the situation is we are an aftermarket radio and so we don't do everything factory does, but we do a lot that the factory doesn't. So when it comes to what will display on the cluster. The only things that change are the audio system display. So we can display the stereos source and some of the data from that source but it wont be as in depth as the factory. The rest of the cluster features remain the same.
