Aftermarket 13.6" Display Radio

[Alakdan]

Yes, I am. Works okay, but where I live it isn't very great. When I'm out of my area, it works better. I wish it was 5G, but it is a tablet so, LTE 4G.

I tried to add a line to my existing ATT, it say that IMEI is not compatible.

I went to an AT&T store. I just told them it was for a tablet that I don't have with me. Then I took the SIM and installed. It worked fine.

It seems to work well using my phone as a hotspot. But then it defeats my goal of not having to use my phone at all. I have looked into a 5G hotspot device. I could use that with it and my comma. So, that's a good option.

On my Android phone I use "macrodroid" to automatically turn the hotspot on when connected to the 13" screen Bluetooth. It's basically hands off and automatic, and my comma also connects to it.

I'll check it out.

Anything like this for iPhone?

You could probably use the "shortcuts" on iphone to create something very similar. I forget what it's called, but it's very similar to macrodroid where you say if this (connect to Bluetooth 13") do this (turn on mobile hotspot).

Heads up guys. I found a bug on mine. The camera page stucked/hanged If I open the video/camera using the button. Turning the shifter won't do anything. Only solution is reset the HU or restart the truck.

Weird, I've used the button a lot with no issues.

Happened to me twice. I will take video tomorrow.

I'm using a "Hotspot and Tethering Shortcut" app in my Android Phone.
2 screen tap only (tap to open the app and tap to turn to turn on the hotspot).

Can anyone post the GPS signals. Thank you.

Is this what you are looking for? BTW, I am hooked into the factory GPS antenna.

Thanks.
MyOEM is 8.4 non-Nav. I can't see any antenna cable behind, so I used the GPS antenna that came from Phoenix.

Even with their cable it worked the same.

I have an Android HU on my 2012 using same GPS antenna that doesn't have any issue.
The Phoenix GPS antenna is on top the dashboard. The plug is tighten...no bent center pin, still no signal. Unless somewhere in settings that need to enable. Phoenix will try to troubleshoot it tomorrow through Google Meet.

Can someone tell me what connections from the 8.4 w/ nav module actually connect to the Phoenix cables?

Or better yet, a diagram of what colors are what on there? I've been Googlin' it, but coming up with nothing (I'm probably searching for the wrong verbiage).

Thanks.

So, for the Phoenix radio, I'm only using the red/camera and white/antenna then? That's all the cables they give you... or at least gave me?

If I remember correctly, the camera plugs in directly. There is an adapter for the radio. And another for the GPS. I bought another one for the LTE. They do provide their own antennas for GPS and LTE, but I didn't use those. I used the factory ones.

What SIM type fit the slot?
Mini or Micro Sim?
