2019+ Ram Linkswell Gen 5S T-Style Factory Stereo Replacement - Unboxing, Installation and Review

[@LilNastyTacos]

How do you like it still? Can you do a follow video I’m interested in buying one.

[@黄炯辉]

you should cut two pillars of bezel when do installed, that will fix original bezel. We have an installation guide on the back of the machine

@@黄炯辉 I didn't have any trouble with my bezel without cutting, everything was nice and flush.

They looks bad ass, only thing is when you have to service your brakes since I've heard there's no way to disable the electronic brake on the 5th gens with the linkswell do you really have to put your factory radio back in each time you service brakes?

[@itsjcalli]

What does the radio have to do with the brakes??

[@johnnypiper1717]

@itsjcalli cuse on the oem radio there's a setting you disable when doing your back brakes it disables the electronic parking brake. You would have to either do your back brakes then install the linkswell or swap it back to the factory everytime you need to do your back brakes

I have the Phoenix 13.6 version of this in my 2020 Ram 1500 and the park break on/off is in the settings. Yes, it's annoying that for some reason this radio controls this setting. I'm not sure if it can be changed another way, I'd imagine a OBDII scanner can unlock it.

[@johnnypiper1717]

@dremias cool how you like the phoniex 13.6 any issues with it loading slow or anything? So with the phoniex you have you can go into the settings and disable the parking break like on the oem screens? That's why I been so hesitant about getting the linkswell XL 15" screen cuse they told me when ever I would have to service my back breaks I would have to put my oem factory screen back in jus to disable the parking break so you can repair the back breaks. That's a deal breaker for me lol unless I would do my breaks and then install it. But linkswell did tell me there working with there engineer to try and put that setting on the next gen modules coming out in the future

@@johnnypiper1717 I've not had an issues with mine. I have the Android 10 version. I'll upload a video showing where the park brake setting is in the radio. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. I took a chance on it because paying 4k for an OEM version is insane. The only thing I will advise is the following: 1) The screw holes on the unit I got for the air vents are too small for the OEM screws. So be mindful of this. I reported it to Phoenix and hopefully with the Android 12 units this has been corrected. It was a minor issues because all I did was use a smaller screw. 2.) They will give you the unlock password but it's not needed. Everything OEM works flawless. The OEM microphone and all controls work out of the box. Sometimes the Wifi does not like to find my iPhone, but its rare. It also can take a 4g sim card, but I refuse to pay for a service that I can use my phone as a hotspot. Overall, I am very happy.

Does the Sirius work off the antenna still or WiFi?

[@RamblinGarage]

I believe Sirius works off the antenna. I don't have an active Sirius subscription but I was picking up the demo channel when I was off of wifi.
