The BEST Headunit For Your Ford F150 - PLUG AND PLAY!! Idoing

[@Mike-e9j]

Got me a Yulu E10 a few months back. This looks like an uppdated version of that. A few observations. On mine, I moved the Sync 3 unit from the old radio to the new unit . That was to keep the original chime, and am/fm, Sirius, etc The thing that sucked and I miss is when playing Sirius, I lost the artist/song info. Yes I can get that throgh the app in Carplay but sometimes I dont want to switch as Carplay doesnt alway auto connect. A few other observations that perhaps you an tell me if this unit has these: Backup trailer assist no longer works - not that I really used it but if someone is thinking about it keep that in mind. You didn'tmention whether this has a sim card connection On mine, the compass on the dash near the speedo no longer works it stays on N. Does yours still function? Would I purchase again? Hard to say. $1000 for my unit is steep. I do like the wireless Car play, access to Google Play and all of the apps. Ability to watch KZbinTV, Netflix, etc on the screen. Large Waze screen. Ability to have a split screen with 2 apps. All things you can do with your unit. The interface actually looks the same as mine. I think that yours is just updated. I usually need to reboot it once a week. Let me know how yours is with stability. I am jealous of that volume knob. I miss that on mine. Lastly, most states have laws that prohibit playing video in the drivers area while driving. Before doing so, make sure it is legal in your state. Thaanks for the video and I look forward to seeing some updates as you learn its features.

[@tonniec7]

Our factory USB ports (2), under the powerhead, no longer work. We have an 2016 F150 XLT. Am I missing something?

[@seanjohn7011]

So how did the new battery do for the backup camera and do it still have your ambient lights if I didn’t remember you saying thanks

[@Scoobyfreak86]

To resolve the camera issue, you need to re ground the camera in the tailgate. Yes it still has the ambient light feature on the unit.

[@misstyflip]

how is the gps function? is it kinda set up like normal car play? how's the unit holding up?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I primarily use CarPlay, but the navigation is pretty good in the unit itself.

[@juliusvichinsky]

does this work with the heated steering wheel and AC seats?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Yes

[@nicholashutson8985]

what phone holder is that ?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Offroam with their MagSafe charging mount amzn.to/3WJpW6J

So this unit on AliExpress is $1300. It lists on the IDoing website for $700. Did you get your unit from IDoing directly? I don't understand the mark up. I'm trying to buy the right unit from the right place. Thanks for the video. It has me sold on this unit.

[@roycleveland5628]

Where did you find it for $700? Website from his link says almost $1300.

[@roycleveland5628]

I also found it on idoing for $700. Have you ordered and installed yours. Thinking about buying on idoing as long as it is the same unit.

Did you have to do anything special to get the factory usb plugs to work ? Any help is greatly appreciated!

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Nothing special. I have the sync 3 USB’s so I didn’t have any issues.

Yes

[@tonydee4381]

@Scoobyfreak86 I just got mines install a couple of days ago and I love it. Wondering though, are you able to adjust the temp of AC separately from driver to passenger instead simultaneously? Thank you

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Press the sync button to be able to adjust each side independently.

[@tonydee4381]

@Scoobyfreak86 thanks for the advice, however I can't see that sync button you were referring to. Are you able to walk me through where it is. I tried looking everywhere lol!!

[@ktuluz]

Not sure if I want to go this route or sync 3 upgrade for mine. keep us updated on how this holds up.

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Either option is a great route to go. I prefer the larger screen and extra features this one provides. Really makes the truck feel new and up to date.

[@thegreytrol2980]

All those feature are great when they work

[@TomWalek-hq6qt]

What make/model is the unit?

[@Mrclohesey]

How is the sound quality? Same? Better? Worse?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Quite a bit better overall

[@iitsjustbigO]

I apologize for the dumb question but does this support CarPlay wireless??

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Yes. I show it in this video.

[@stydo5184]

Question ! 😅 can you hide the climate controls and have the screen fully visible ? I mean if you put maps on there can you hide the climate controls to just have the maps fully visible on the whole screen ?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I’m sure there is a way, but I haven’t found it yet.

[@antoniobarriga9290]

Have you found a way to hide the climate controls and have the whole screen displaying maps or Apple Music?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I haven’t found it yet

[@brandonmilks4997]

Do you have heated seats? If so, does that function still work with the unit? Thanks!

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I don’t but yes the unit has the ability to turn the seats on/off for cool and heat. You can actually see the heated seat option in the hvac screen.

[@brandonmilks4997]

I’ve had the unit now for a few weeks. And yes, the HVAC portion of the screen does have an option that would lead you to believe the heated seats function still works. HOWEVER, to date, they cannot be turned on by what is offered. Just a note for those interested in purchasing this unit. I cannot get the heated seats to work. Do you have an email or phone number to contact them about this issue?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

You need to turn the high config option on under the settings. Send me a dm on Instagram and I’ll send you a screenshot of where to go.

[@brandonmilks4997]

Will do, thank you!

[@brandonmilks4997]

It works!!!!

When directed to your attached link to buy, it shows, “Ship to • United States • This product can't be shipped to your address. Select another product or address.” Very confusing.. Any suggestions or explanation?

[@eddyfernandez3710]

Just wondering about the front camera system. Does it turn on automatically when you slow down and it detects stuff in front of you (when you're parking) or do you need to turn on the front camera manually?

[@LaytonEstates]

Just installed and have issues with the ac buttons that dont work, and talking through the speakers they can barely here me. Also the reserve cam doesnt work at at all on any settings.

[@Reno255xe]

If you don't have dual zone climate in the original F150 do you now have it with this unit?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

You do not since it does not have the venting to do it. You do get auto though.

[@gregm5111]

@@Scoobyfreak86 I noticed on their website that you can choose between manual and auto AC. You're saying they sent you the auto AC version, and now your truck has auto AC?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Just the temp changes automatically. Not the venting.

[@johnwolf7214]

I saw your other video with the subwoofer and amp that you installed, but at the 18:37 mark on this video, you said you didn't have an amp. Did you take that powered amp out from behind the back seat? Also... (sorry, I haven't looked around yet... I just found your channel), do you have any updates on this system after 3 months of use? One final question... you said you had SYNC 3. Did you upgrade to that yourself? My 2015 has SYNC 2, and I don't have carplay (or android auto). Would this iDoing unit allow for that if my truck doesn't have that capability now? Thanks!

[@Scoobyfreak86]

The sub amp is part of the sub. I did not remove that. Yes I upgraded from sync 2 to sync 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6WnmIpsrrF8f7csi=qK6ucolbn_XySiyC. You do not need CarPlay to have CarPlay work with the idoing unit.

[@Fuel4theCar]

What trim do you have? I have a 2019 XLT. I believe I'm on sync3 and have carplay but it's wired. Was yours like that too before? Only wired, now it's wireless? I've also done other mods via FORESCAN and upgraded my basic mirror to power fold by BOOST, will any of that be affected?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

Xlt is no it was not wireless prior.

[@cpnmikes]

I like the look of this but I do not want to lose the manual knobs for climate control (fan speed and temp).. i had a suburban with digital controls for that it was a PIA. I am wondering if there are any units that retain the manual climate control knobs?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

The manual climate control is still there with the button below. No knob, but you have the option of the hard button or on the screen.

[@rogerdunaway3956]

Thank you for the video. 1. How I s the sound quality? 2. Will sirius/xm work with this unit? I have a 2015 f150 lariat with auto a/c. Will all factory functions work (ambient lighting etc...)? Thank you!

I just tried installing the screen on my truck and i’m having a problem where the hvac controls work, but the screen doesn’t turn on at all. Is there something that plugs into the other side of the little red box?

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I explained this in the video. You have to unplug the cd player harness and plug those into the unit.

[@edwardwinston3760]

This was a very nice overview. If you are interested in a follow-up, it would be great if you can show how it interacts with the OEM Sync 3 controls e.g. massaging seats, lumbar control, etc. I saw in a previous reply you said this all works but it would be great to see how Idoing implements it. Also, I'd love to know what phone holder you are using. I didn't see a link in your description

[@Scoobyfreak86]

I don’t have those options so unable to show those in action. Multiple people that have gotten this have confirmed those functions work no problem. amzn.to/3WrFZ7F with their MagSafe magnet charging mount.

[@youraveragejoeadventures]

Looks amazing! I tried a different brand 12 inch screen before and hated it and returned it. How does Google Maps or Waze look in CarPlay? Does it use up the full screen?

They seem to sell a model for Auto AC and manual AC but you mention having manual AC but that Auto AC works now that you have the new unit?

Yes, just my specific battery on its way out. Yes, knobs are removable and you can paint to black or whatever color you choose. Yes, CarPlay is wireless. No need to swap the apim over. The auto works for the temperature, but not the fan vent location. Just adjusts the temperature automatically.
