Have a 16 with this trim level basic work truck no reverse camera, small 4 inch screen looking to get this 12" screen and add reverse camera by the tailgate radio looks promising
I wished I would have seen this before I bought my Kenwood. The only problem I have with the Kenwood, besides the size, is the dimming feature. I don't like bright dashboards when I am driving at night. The Kenwood only has dim or regular. I wished it had the capability of dimming with the interior lights and dashboard. Does this dim any lower for night driving? I think you should be able to dim it as low as you want it.
It has a dimmer yes. The dimmer doesn’t respond with the vehicle dimmer though. Meaning the dash dimmer doesn’t progressive adjust the radios brightness. It’s in either day mode or night mode, you doe set what the brightness is for each option though. You can also black out the screen while leaving all apps running.
I just put a deposit on this from one of your distributors. Is there a media hub box that adds the HDMI into my centre console? I already have USB ports there and wondering how those will tie in with the Linkswell. Thanks
@@iRemainNameless so we don’t make anything specific to add HDMI in your hub but there are other company’s that do. If you want to use an HDMI input be sure you order the HDMI adapter to add the input for you.
I have a 2015 1500 Tradesmen. Basic of the basic. The radio looks similar to the one in this video minus the Bluetooth. No touch screen. The backup camera is in the rear facing mirror. Would it stay there or transfer to the screen itself?
It doesn’t unless you physically break something. But know our tech support is only for our authorized dealers technicians. So if you run into issues installing your selling dealer will be your tech support.
I had a t style LinksWell 12" installed on my 2019 Ram. The radio reception is absolutely awful. is this the way it is supposed to be? Very disappointing!
I recently bought the TS-DGPU10-4RR-6H and installed it but now the sound from the sensors does not come out when it is close to an object, what can I do?
Spoke with my local dealer and discussed adding on the HDMI module so that I could plug in a fire stick, I was told I didn’t need to get the module because the device itself can run all the applications that the fire stick has. Netflix, HBO max, Hulu etc. is this true? I feel that getting the module would make it easier with the fire stick since I could use a remote vs using the touchscreen all the time.
It can indeed run all those apps on it. I don’t know why a remote would be easier than touch controls. But if you prefer remote then doing HDMI in with fire stick would work. You would need to get a hotspot in your truck for the Firestick to use. Our new GEN 6 let you install a sim for Internet. But 100% preference. It will work both ways
@@LinksWellInc the reason for the remote is for kids in the back watching there shows being able to control it without pestering me to change it… roadtrips. Good to know that it works either way thank you!
I got it installed and love it! One issue I’m having though is, when I set the time it won’t save after turning the truck off. Is there a fix for this?
I got the 10.4 gen 5....2017 Ram 1500 Rebel. Couple issues. Red blinking light in-between assist and 911 buttons on rear view mirror now flashes never did that before.

@@Jh3454-df5vm the red light will light up because the factory radio is removed to the 911 assist can no longer locate you. There is no fix for this. It is what happens no mater what aftermarket radio you would install because the system no longer is getting info from the UConnect radio. The power off when the door opens is normal. This is how 99.9% of factory radios work it’s called “Retained Accessory Power” or “RAP”. It means your accessories like a radio will stay powered on after shut down until you open a door. If your factory radio didn’t it must have been an option you turned off or someone else before you turned off. If you go to the “Vehicle” icon. Hit the gear icon in there and look through the factory settings. Check for power off or RAP. That may be a feature you can change inside the truck settings that will make it work with key instead of RAP.
@LinksWellInc ah ok thank you. And ad for the factory fade not working on the ram alpine....if one was to connect the stock 8in and fade to one side would those settings be held when going back to the linkswell?

Wish I knew that you can't see the screen with polarized lenses. I just got the 12 installed and I'm always wearing sunglasses that are polarized due to my sensitivity to the sun. Now when I wear my sunglasses the screen is black, I can't see anything unless I take off my sunglasses😔
So there are screen protectors that create a reverse effect. Not all polarized glasses are the same either. Unfortunately with polarized glasses it’s a gamble and if we make it work with one it stops with the other.
@@LinksWellInc I ordered a couple screen protectors from Amazon hopefully that will help. Also is there a way to get rid of the dual reverse guidelines for the RAM classic when I put it in reverse I have which looks like the factory guidelines and then the guideline from the links well
