Yes. I removed both screen protectors and the image quality inproved a lot. Now it looks more high end. More glossy sort of speak. It feels like glass indeed.did you remove both screen protectors? Is it glass underneath?

The radio has pre amp rca outputs. It has a 32 band EQ I believe.Anyone with a unit messed with hooking up after market amplifiers?
What options exist for tuning: basic 3/5/7/11 eq bands, crossover capabilities, none of the above?

Android auro wireless does work, but it only uses a small portion of the screen anyway. Apple carplay uses the entire screen and looks amazing. Sadly, I am not an ophone user.I guess that does not really matter, since the radio is android and can do all apps natively..just needs hotspot.
How long does it take to boot, from a cold startup of the truck. Is it as fast as uconnect?
My friend has the exact same truck as mine. We bought them the same day, same dealer. His is black and always had issues with the AC not being cold enough. Mine (silver) never had an issue. After he also installed the Android 10 13.6 inch radio, his first observation was the AC started blowing cold air. So, not a placebo. I actually confirmed that myself.Something odd I noticed today is that my AC is blowing colder now. I noticed it before but thought it was just placebo, but then my wife mentioned it also. Maybe the OEM AC temp control panel was defective to begin with, but now my AC is blowing super cold, which is great here in SoFLo. Just my observation.
Apple carplay works beautifully. I can confirm it works very well. I will post some pics tomorrow.I’m guessing no Apple car play on this one since it’s an android screen?
Yeah the EQ is actually pretty good. The sound is way better than stock. Louder, cleaner and no more bass cutting out from the factory radio attenuation. a lot of options for an amp/s setup.Anyone with a unit messed with hooking up after market amplifiers?

Do you want to sell your Phoenix to me??It does have apple car play. You have to use the dedicated USB port that comes with it. But not really sure why you would use it over the native android apps.
I've been using it for a day now, and the degraded camera image is a big downside. It's grainy, blurry, and smaller.. my wife said she'd rather have the old one back and give up the other features from how bad it looks compared to factory.
Did anyone end up trying this to see if the camera issue improves?Oh so it does have the AHD option.. found a AHD converter online waiting to hear what resolution the output is. Do those grey bars go away with just the backup cam activated.. the demo video quality/size looks better. But then again kinda hard to tell from a screen grab.. did it have a CVBS input option?

Here’s the converter I found.. it’s what they use in the Linkswell systems…

Still interested in pics and some updated reviews if you have time.Apple carplay works beautifully. I can confirm it works very well. I will post some pics tomorrow.
With the improvement, how do you compare this to your original factory 12”?I bought the AHD converter from Amazon, it does improve the quality a bit. And got rid of the grey bars.View attachment 144121
Quality wise it's almost the same I'd say, but it's still way smaller since it doesn't use the same ratio as the OEM. It has those obnoxious letters on the top taking about 1.5" of space.With the improvement, how do you compare this to your original factory 12”?
Bummer. I am planning on upgrading from the factory 8.5” and thought I could save some money with a quality aftermarket as opposed to dropping the coin on an OEM 12”. Looks like I may have to bite the bullet though. Thanks for the feedback.

Depends what you value most in it.. I switched back to stock and while I love the bigger, clearer camera view, I love even more the full screen waze navigation, the YouTube music videos when I'm parked, and just like having the music interferface directly on screen.. the Amazon AHD adapter made a significant enough difference for me to be happy with it.Bummer.
