So I’ve really been contemplating getting this unit for about a year cause my radio went out in 2021 but I just have been so skeptical because of the software ppl complain a lot about…what’s your opinion now 6 months or more after having it
I know this is an old video, I’ve had my screen for over. Year and never had any issues. Always got compliments. Love the car play function when getting in the car and it auto connects. Phoenix automotive snapped
It’s a great system! I made the mistake of not purchasing Apple car play, but it’s no big deal. I can always get it on a later date. Glad you like yours!
Try resetting the system or checking your connections to the back of the unit. Sometimes, these units need a different software that can be accessed in the advanced setting
@@jdubstangy make sure the harness in the back is fully connected and make sure its not muted, if restarting it doesn’t work try programming each button to match accordingly with your steering wheel buttons and control the volume from the steering wheel
@@douglasspooler2680 All used with white spray paint and extra carbon I had left over from a different item. I have an old old video on painting the center console in my playlist under “DIY” if you’re interested. That video is basted around plasti dip but the same rules apply just about
You will need to go through the advance settings to change it from the s550 to the s197. The color of the car wont change unfortunately. It’s whatever it’s preset to. Mine is a blue s197.
I’ve heard of this issue persisting with others in the community before. Not sure what direction to look to tackle this problem but I would ask Chat GBT, watch RUclips videos, research forums and ask industry professionals or friends. If I had to take a wild guess, check to ensure the system is plugged in correctly and the system is reset and updated. Hope this helps my friend! 💯🤟
@@LoganScott. it’s small issues i guess that I have.. hate that it goes to a camera that I don’t have in reverse, my heated seats don’t work, rear defrost doesn’t work. Annoying how you can’t just hold down button when changing temp.. you have to tap it and living in Michigan in spring and fall can be annoying with that cuz you’ll need heat in the am and ac in afternoon
@@TheThreeOneThree313 the backup camera issue I had as well but it’s pretty easy to add a camera to this system. As for the defrosters, I haven’t had issues with that and can understand why you would want them. Personally, I would call the company and see if they can assist you
just got my 16 year old daughter a 2014 Mustang convertable with the tesla screen (she is so in love with it). Sadly the back up camera was looking bad (horrible pic quality) when we got it a couple of days ago. Today it is showing nothing at all other than the lines (no visual feed at all anymore). Maybe that happened when we put the new plate on from the DMV. Either way it was having issues before that. Does anyone have any suggestions for a way to fix this problem? Thanks.
Hey Justine, thank you for watching! I’m sorry to hear this is happening. Here are some things I would suggest trying to see if it fixes your issue! 1. Check the camera lens: Make sure the camera lens is clean and not obstructed by dirt or debris. 2. Inspect wiring: Check the wiring and connections to ensure they are secure and not damaged. Loose or damaged wires can cause camera issues. 3. Restart the system: Try turning off the car and then restarting it. Sometimes, a simple system reboot can resolve minor issues. 4. Ensure that the wires are properly plugged into the proper locations. I found when installing my camera, there are a few ports where it will read the camera but no picture will be shown. 5. System may need to be updated. I personally haven’t done it before but it’s possible it might. You can always reach out to phoenixautomotive for further information. 6. You mentioned the camera quality is bad when it works. This very well could be the camera itself. I have a clear picture on my screen and have had no issues with visibility. Highly recommend investing in a quality camera. Hopefully this helps! Feel free to message me for any further questions and I’ll try my best to help
there's like 15 addons you can order with the unit, no idea what I'd need. I know I don't use apple products and my mustang is just a base 2010 model, doesn't even have the speakers in the door, nice informative viseo though
Great video.. I had the exact stock radio. Just ordered my new screen. My old stock radio had sirius xm built into it and was listening to it al the time. Am I going to lose my satellite radio or can I listen to it through an app
I don’t believe this has Sirius XM. I rarely used it when I had it so I wouldn’t be a good person to ask. As for satellite radio, it still works as normal! You may be able to download an app on this system to get what you want as well
I’ve had multiple people ask me this same question and I honestly don’t remember my man. I believe it was either the green or purple wire from the top of my head but that could be completely false. The best method (in my opinion) is to tap the camera wire to any positive on the back side of the screen while the car is in reverse. By doing so will allow you to see if the camera activates. I may need to make a video on this in the summer
Hey, I know this is an issue of video but I was wondering if you’ve had any issues with this setup draining your battery. I have a parasitic drain and I’m mostly sure it’s my setup. But also, I have a regular battery that I’m planning on upgrading. Any help would be right on time.
@@LoganScott. it was the battery. I was using the 96R that ford recommends but I put an Optima battery in a couple weeks ago and I haven’t had any issues. It seems like I needed a higher Cold Crank Amperage
Thank you very much. Very usefull video!. I have a question looking at the product seller web page: what does the options of keepOEM radio and SYNC / Remove OEM radio means?
You said it was a little laggy at times, what ram did you get? Because they start at 2GB and go all the way to 8Gb. I seen another user that had the 6gb version and it was smooth as butter
I believe mine is a 2GB. Probably the reason why it’s little laggy. Normally, it runs smooth with slight hiccups here and there. Nothing that would drive you crazy
Cool, thanks for the response. Been looking into this system today. Bought one from American muscle a while back and it was complete junk! So, maybe a better experience with this. Thanks again
I’ve been wanting to do the same. Forgot the process but I believe it requires wifi to be connected to the unit and saved as a wall paper or a USB on the back of it (if there is one)
I’m not entirely sure where to start with that but if I was me, I would go into the manual settings and make sure everything is correctly set. Not necessarily the “normal” setting but the “deep” setting where you need to type in the passcode (you can find online) by holding down the setting screen. Hard to explain but once you do that, you’ll have access to all the controls. Another thing you can do is hard reset the system.
Hey I'm looking into getting this for my car and getting a backup camera just like you. Was is difficult to install the camera wiring or was it a simple plug and play?
Super simple. Everything is labeled and ready to be plugged in. The plugs have different sizes so it’s pretty easy to guess what’s what. The camera was a little more Tedious (due to wire tucking under the carpet and bumper removal). Other than that, very straight forward.
@@LoganScott. i did hard reset it and it didn’t work. and i doubt it’s the wires because it worked completely fine before and all of the sudden it got stuck. idk what to do
Hey how are the A/C controls and reaching them compared to the OEM radio? I see they have a new unit on Pre-Order that has physical A/C buttons and a volume / tuning hardware knob on both sides.. The A/C controls to me look like they're a bit low and like the shift knob would get in the way if you gotta press them.. Do you use Apple Carplay at all? Does it glitch out or does it work 100%? I had a Pioneer head unit in my old Mustang and Carplay would constantly glitch at the worst times.. music would cut off and all I would hear is Apple Maps Navigation it was so annoying.
The A/C work the same as the OEM until with some minor upgrades as in changing the temperature (units) compared to guessing on the last one as well as other features depending on your car model. They do sit a little low but I’ve gotten use to it. I don’t use it often so it’s not too much of a problem. The Apple car play I plan on getting here at some point soon. The unit works decently without it but lacks features if you don’t have wifi to pair it with. With Apple car play, everything you’ll ever want or need is in Apple car play. I haven’t experienced any delays with maybe* a few once and a blue moon. Haven’t had issues with music unless it had something to do with my phone which has nothing to do with the unit. There are features throughout the system you can change to your liking. You need a passcode to get into it I believe I provided in this video.
@@LoganScott. Yeah I definitely am getting this system for my Mustang instead of the other one.. I was gonna get the OE Navos style navigation but those the touch screen isn't as responsive as it could be but this thing looks sick.
Thank you Timothy! I’ve had a lot of people ask me about that and I haven’t made a video on it because I’ve already done it. I’ll give it some thought though!
Only issues I have with the unit is sometimes when I have my music paused through Bluetooth, it’ll turn back on again minutes later. Not a big deal but it happens here and there. Other than that, I can’t complain. Honestly it was hard to give you an answer lol. Full honest truth, this was totally worth the $400 and one of my favorite ads ons. Really made the interior feel like 2021 and not 2014
I also have one in my '12 mustang. There also an issue with the ac, sometimes I can't control the ac, so I'd have to wait to turn off the car then turn it back on.
If it’s Apple CarPlay, I don’t have it because I opted out of it. You can buy it separately but I have no use for it tbh. There is a mirror link that may work in a similar way?
WHERE TO BUY 💰:
Link is in this video’s bio*
So I’ve really been contemplating getting this unit for about a year cause my radio went out in 2021 but I just have been so skeptical because of the software ppl complain a lot about…what’s your opinion now 6 months or more after having it
I personally have no issues with it, with the exception of not having wifi for it which isn’t a software’s issue. I love it overall!
I've been. Thinking the sane thing. They just released a new version. And different style. Looks pretty cool.
@@brianpreston3052 do u mind posting the link for the newer version? Thanks

How do I get sound bruh I got everything ac control but I can’t get sound

That’s too much imagine driving and having to play with that thing too adjust a/c
It’s honestly not that much. The A/C buttons always sit at the bottom of the screen
Hey man i just got a 2014 mustang, weird question but does it work and is it comparable with iphone?
Yes, you can purchase it with apple CarPlay. I don’t have it and works just fine but lacks features because I don’t have Apple CarPlay
How is it holding up years later? Thinking of buying one for mine but im hearing mix reviews?🤔
Perfect! No issues
Great video! Where did you get your center console from? I want to change mine out, yours looks sweet!
Thanks man! It came from Phoenix Automotive (online).
@@LoganScott. I meant the white overlay around the cup holders and gear shifter. Where did you get that from?

Quick question what wire did you connect the backup cam to to give it power ?
I’ve had multiple people ask me this same question and I honestly don’t remember my man. I believe it was either the green or purple wire from the top of my head but that could be completely false.
The best method (in my opinion) is to tap the camera wire to any positive on the back side of the screen while the car is in reverse. By doing so will allow you to see if the camera activates. I may need to make a video on this in the summer

Hey!
I don’t have any issues with my system and if I do it’s rare. You could be running into a battery issue or may need to check your alternator.
@@LoganScott. it was the battery. I was using the 96R that ford recommends but I put an Optima battery in a couple weeks ago and I haven’t had any issues. It seems like I needed a higher Cold Crank Amperage
That’s great to hear! Glad it was a battery and not something too extensive
Can u use gps and play music without hotspot or wifi?
For Apple car play, no.
Definitely appreciate your video you explained alot more on how to operate the touchscreen than most ❤ appreciate it an was the next step ur going for

Is this model compatible with a 2005 mustang?

Does anyone know how to change the mustang on the home screen
I’ve been wanting to do the same. Forgot the process but I believe it requires wifi to be connected to the unit and saved as a wall paper or a USB on the back of it (if there is one)
You poor right
I got the same screen and same door woofers but they aren't connected how did you connect yours??
I would check your connection again. Mine automatically paired when the unit was plugged in
There are settings to balance out the sound. I would check there too, as well as, the mute button
