Below is the link where I purchased mine from. They are a legit seller. They will message you for a picture of your center console to make sure you get the correct unit for your model and they will also send you an instruction manual via email if you ask and they check each unit before shipping it. Shipping is usually 6-7 days which is incredibly fast coming overseas.

Having a 2021 F250 Platinum Tremor this unit goes above and beyond any other big screen out there. I was pissed when the 2022 dropped and had a bigger screen and trading in a truck after putting so much money into them over a screen just financially wasn't worth it but after installing this thing its not even a thought anymore. I'm running a sim card in the slot so when going down the highway playing a movie off any platform you want is great! (I don't recommend it) lol.... and over whatever you're playing the Waze or maps will speak over the movie with no issues... thanks for posting it was because of your original video I purchased this unit but got it directly through Autotech and they've been incredible with customer service through emails..
Ya that's why I always tell everyone if you want the easy support go through autotec. Dealing with the people overseas through Aliexpress its usually delayed since the time difference and sometimes the language barrier can be difficult. Overall this screen is the one to have!
who can I get to make me a similar wallpaper but using Tremor? thank for your reply brother @@f1fiftyjimmy
Thanks Jim for the videos on this unit. I've been looking for about a month and like you said everyone claims to be the best. Thanks to your video I just ordered this one. Really appreciate your channel. Thanks!!!!
@@stuartwatts9493 ya no problem! Once you get use to it and dialed in it’s awesome to have!
Note - Just use your finger and touch those individual controls on the equalizer and they will move up and down. If you want a more bassy sound, set the center controls lower and left and right of those higher. If you play around with them you will find the sound you want and the system will save that for you.
Also, you should be able to utilize the heated steering wheel when you use the touch screen setting of the unit's climate control panel as mine works great.
Another tip that is a great tip I learned from another person on here is to buy a prepaid Mint Mobile sim card and you will have internet access 24/7 same as your cell phone and will not have to look for wifi hot spots. That way you are not missing out on a lot of the features that the unit offers as well as , you won't have to deal with the Apple Car Play for using navigation etc and that means no waiting for that annoying start up screen that comes in every single time that you start the vehicle..
A lot of great tips you shared. Thanks man!
I have this unit on my raptor and overall love it.....a few things i dont like is that it does not have a direct power button and a volume with mute button/knob....also I could not get att tablet sim card to work with it...i just use my Hotspot better....love your wallpapers thanks for this videos
Couple of questions:
1) I thought that I saw the connection when you were hooking it up but if I want to upgrade the rear camera to a better quality AHD camera. Was there a connection for it? That might be what the CVVD setting is for.
2) Did it come with an installation manual? If so how were the instructions? Who do you reach out for customer support/updates?
3) You didn't talk about the navigation through the Android tablet (vs. Carplay) Have you tried running Waze or Google Maps through the tablet? If so, how was the accuracy using thhe GPS antenna they provided?
Sorry, I guess that was more than a couple of questions.
Not sure if you can change out the camera. I tried researching and found nothing on that.
I was able to find a copy of the autotec install manual and used that.
I usually ran Google Maps and Apple. I like googles satellite view when navigating. I know I've heard others who travel alot and they like Waze. I know when I was down in Texas Google gave me a couple extra different routes that Apple didn't.
Excellent video! Just installed mine from the seller you recommended. Any update on the Nova launcher AC/Heat controls going away like previous videos? I know you said with new update they don't go away was curious if you figured anything out. Thanks!
I haven't tried it again I have just been running the stock setup. I'll see if I can dig deeper and find anything out!
Thru car play you are now using your phone as a pre amp. So you have to adjust sound on phone as well
Good tip!
Great video. Watched the ones you have on this head unit. I'm trying to navigate Aliexpress to find one for my 2020 F450. I think it's the same but I want to be sure. If you have an idea where it is could use the help. Ordering it next week after I move. Need to hit you up to do a screen for F450 Limited
Ya its the same as the f150 one. The first one I have linked in the description is the correct one. The seller will request a photo of your dash just to make sure.
@@f1fiftyjimmy Thanks for the reply. Ordering next week for sure. what screen dimensions do you use for the background? I use PS
Your video’s are great man!!!! Thank you!
Thanks bro I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I’m planning on ordering it soon, but have you experienced any issues with it draining your battery? I’ve read some people have
I have not. I think when it happens it’s a glitch. I wouldnt worry about this issue as I’ve never had problems
Thanks for getting back to me, appreciate it!
I just my 14.4 inch screen in my Ford 2019 F150 your video was spot on. Thanks however I’m unable to use the back up camera and the volume is not working from the steering wheel or the screen.
Did you switch it over in settings to vga? For back up camera. Also you could try and do a reset with the small button on front. If not might need to reseat connections
Did you ever figure the issue out with the volume? I'm dealing with the same issue at the moment.
Can you try the trailer back up assist function? Still working after upgrade?
Thanks for the video. Did you lose any sound quality with this unit?
Thank you!
nicely done... i got one from aliexpress too ...took your advice..can you make one boot logo for f250 (ford performance) ..thank you .
Hell ya man! Shoot me an email jimmystrait@gmail.com. I’ll get you squared away!
Thanks Jim for all the info. I may have missed it somewhere but is the B&O system affected in any way?
No prob, no it is not affected.
Jim,
I assume this retains and uses stock OEM sync microphone?
When using the sync side of things it uses OEM mic. If you are using the android side you will use the mic on the lower left of screen or if you installed the aftermarket one that comes in the kit. I didn't install it. Whenever I'm on a call I usually use sync to utilize factory mic.
Looking for one for my 2021 Expedition........this one is nice.
This is the best one!
@@f1fiftyjimmy Checked the link and the one they have for the expedition is Adroid 11 instead of Adroid 13 and it is slightly more expensive.
@@marks.4776 to be honest I think Android 11 is better. Android 13 you can’t split screen console or CarPlay app.
@@f1fiftyjimmy Cool thanks
What would be the best alternative for a 2012 F-150 XLT?? Would love a similar size screen. Thank you!
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mOuIdfy Check out that screen, should be what you are looking for!
This is the most informative video ive found on this unit, thanks for sharing. My question is when you open your sync3 app it populates after a few second , mine stays exactly the same all the time. Is there a setting that needs ro be changed in order to show toe settings?
Thanks again for the awesome video !
PS it is installed in a 2018 F-150 XLT
How long did you have this? i know you've upgraded trucks. Did you have any problems with it?
@@richardadkins6187 I still have it in my raptor! It’s a solid display and maybe every 3 weeks I have to reboot it but it’s an Android device so kinda normal. I love this display!
Great video!! Quick question. Does your steering wheel sync voice button work when your in apple car play. I have an android and it used to pull up my assistant when i was in android auto. But now it pulls up the factory sync voice.
I'm not sure I'll do some checking on that!
Can you do navigation and youtube on a split screen?
You can as long as you are using the apps. Android 13 you can't split screen the sync app or carplay app. I've run google maps and youtube split screen with my hotspot on.
Hey man I followed your link and got the same unit. While in Console or SYNC everything is perfect. When I switch to any app there’s no sound. Any ideas?
Hey I would reboot the screen and the. Also reseat the connections. Let me know!
@@f1fiftyjimmy I had a cable in the wrong spot! Thanks for the reply. I bought your wallpaper pack today - well done. My Nova Launcher isn't hiding my virtual climate. I'm down to that issue.
Thanks for the video! Does the glare bug you?
No problem! No the glare has never gave me any issues.
@@f1fiftyjimmy sweet. I get mine next week. Thanks again for the video.
@@SocalRaptor you'll love it!
Your console screen looks great, I feel like mine is compressed vertically and not very sharp. And the bottom section of buttons is too tall. Is there any way to adjust this? AutoTec customer service didn’t have any answers. Thanks! Great video.
How’s you get the A/C controls to be hidden?
Truck sat at the dealer for about 2 weeks, battery got drained. Ever since then the unit wont shut off with the truck as it used to before. I have the same unit. Have tried factory reseting several times. I have to swipe down to shut the screen off every time but the unit itself isnt shutting off like before. Any suggestions?
It would suck to tear the dash back apart but I would pull the main harness connections for about 10 seconds or so and plug all back in and see if that resolves since you’ve already done hard resets. Let me know
@@f1fiftyjimmy I forgot to mention i have also tried that and still no luck.
Would you happen to make a video of using apple maps and leave it on full screen? every video i watch i never see anyone using it, and can you also do youtube videos, would like to see the quality and see if there’s any lag in the audio
Hey James
Hope youre doing good man..
I ordered a 14.4 screen and tried to hook it up twice but for some reason don't think it's reading my sync module..
Everything works except my music, the radio is the only thing that plays and when I go into console it's blank and climate doesn't work either..
Any idea what the problem is?
Much appreciated!
I would try and reseat the connection to the sync module. I've heard some reseat 2-3 times and then it gets them working. Let me know! goodluck
Thanks man..I just did a factory reset and that all works now but my park assist isn't working..have any idea why not? Do I need to change any settings?
There’s an option to auto orientation to watch Netflix
Do you know which cable specifically deal with the backup cam? I got my installed entirely and everything is perfect except the backup cam isn’t working
I should mention, I already changed it to the “VGA” option, still showing black.
@@carsonbunnell4823 I believe the factory camera in integrated with the sync 3 module, so I would reseat the sync module connections and see what that does. When you switched the camera to VGA did you make sure to hit save?
I saw your youtube video and got one for my 2015 F150. Where do you look for updates, or is a website for this radio that addresses new fixes for the radio?
hello , great video. Quick question , are the steering button retained without any additional hardware( plug and play) and are they customizable?
They are retained nothing extra needed. No I don’t believe you can customize them though.
@@f1fiftyjimmyFinally pulled the trigger on this. I have a few extra questions. 1)is the massage feature still available? 2) Ford has kinda shitty cameras, did you noticed any improvement on the image quality of the cameras with this screen? Not sure if its the cameras or the factory screen 3) There is an OBDii tool add on that autotech sells for this truck and their screen, would that be compatible with this unit? Thanks in advance for your response.
@@canillocanillo3371 you'll love it man. the massage feature I am not sure since my truck doesn't have that. The one positive to the screen is your camera view is expanded on the larger screen and might look a little better because the screen quality of the new unit is 100 times better than stock. On the OBDii tool that I am not sure what you would be able to do with that. I will look into it.
some autotech pro screen user have informed their track skip streering wheel buttons do not work. I saw that in this video they worked great,is it only in factory sync 3 mode or do they also work on android mode? also.... I was under the impression these are the exact same screen as the autotech pro , but they are reporting theirs is QHD with a 2560x 1440 resolutiuon vs this one that has a reported at 1920x1200. there is a new player in town selling this unit Workshop 12 , and they also report a 2560x1440 resolution. I still have time to cancel my order since it has not shipped yet, thats the only issue with these product , all seem the same but manufacturers spec them diffferently.
@@canillocanillo3371 My skip steering wheel buttons worked, sometimes I would press it about four or five times quick it would switch to sync, but otherwise they worked. Also the screen resolution is not true. They are all 2k screens, the 1920x1080 is what the factory sync thats upscaled. If you thoroughly look through all the aliexpress ad you will see it says resolution 1920x1080 and then under screen size its a 14.4' 2k QLED. These 3rd parties are literally just buying bulk overseas and dropshipping.
I (i mean my kid) did a factory reset now many things arent working is there a video on how to fix the things that reset
Shoot me an email at jimmystrait@gmail.com if ya need more help
Do you have to reset it often? I had a older version and had to reset it a couple times a week
Ya I probably say once a week or every two weeks.
Will this work with a 2017 ford raptor? I want this exact same setup
Yes sir! Link in the description!
What is the brand name of the unit you bought? The link you provided no longer works.
I just tried it and it was working for me. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBkWkCn there’s technically no brand name. If you see one of the displays with a brand name that’s just someone who is drop shipping them and they just made their own brand name and selling them for more.
Hey buddy i have a 2015 f150 xlt super crew i bought it without checking bluetooth figure all worked but they said maybe the head peice is not right every thing works but bluetooth and when i start my truck it allways has to go though some resyncing shit so ford said 900 bucks crazy ....so you would say spend that on the radio like yours right im in canada though probably more but yours looks very nice
Ya if I had to choose between dropping $900 on oem vs this display, I would choose this aftermarket one.
Hi, thanks for the great video. Would you happen to know if this item supports FORD F150 SYNC 1 - basic one with two buttons on top and manual aircon?
I will ask the seller on Aliexpress as well, just wondering if it comes with cap for the middle button and cover for the manual aircon.
Thanks in advance.
Yes it works with Sync 1, I bought 1 month ago
Just 2 questions does the third brake light camera work with it and do the steering wheel controls work to pull up Siri
Yes everything factory works. Steering wheel controls work as well.
Hi. Wonderful video. Thanks. I am having an issue that maybe you can help me with. I recently reset my unit to factory settings. Since then my backup camera has stopped working. I get a read sign saying that there is no signal when I shift to reverse. Any idea how to fix this? Thanjsy
At 1:54 minutes into the video I show how to change the camera setting to vga. That should fix your problem.
Thank you Jim!!!! That did it!!! Issue solved. I had seen and tried that in the video but it hadn’t worked. What I did different this time is, after changing the setting to VGA, instead of hitting the save button right above it I went and hit the save and reboot button at the bottom of the screen. I truly appreciate your guidance. This screen and I don’t get along. I may bother you again with something else…. THANK YOU!!!
@@santiagocappanera2570 Any other questions let me know!
Hi Jim, does the forward facing camera still work?
Yep sure does!
Awesome. Thank you for responding.
Jim.. my cameras won’t work. My sync 3 option is just black when I enter the console option. Radio/Sirius Xm plays. Please help!!!
@@druandrade87 try and reseat the connections!
Do you loose the massage seat future os any other futures with this?
I tired switching it to VGA and it just shows up black with the directional lines. Maybe a cable hooked up incorrectly?
any idea which cord would control that?
@@nickbeito6061 Ya try to reseat your connections. I believe its the tied in with the sync system so try and reseat the sync connections.
Great video.
does it show in bed camera display? and what about rca outputs?
No it doesn’t do in bed camera. It comes with a harness for rca’s that just plugs into the back of unit.
I just installed the 14.5 with Android 13. Everything works fine except I don’t get any sound on Netflix with the Android app. When I click on the sync 3 app my sound works fine and radio plays fine? I didn’t install the little speaker - does that matter?
@@troyferreira1255 no that shouldn’t matter. Does wireless CarPlay music work?
Hey Jim, you don't happen to have MY Q app for garage doors set up do you? I was excited to have it set up on the screen but it's giving me errors when I try to login.
Hey I unfortunately do not have that setup, sorry dude!
Can you legitimately watch RUclips like on the phone ? What the touch screen sensitive compared to the original one?
@@Motonathan yes you can. I throw RUclips on when waiting or road trips. Touchscreen is like a phone where it uses heat sensitivity so touchscreen works just fine.
@@f1fiftyjimmyPreciate your replying bro. Keep pushing video you make life easier
Quick question, does the RUclips tv play while driving and if so is it also in landscape mode?
It works while driving and it plays fine in portrait. Even if you do full screen it still doesn’t go to landscape.
Thanks for the very helpful video. So I’m having one issue and it’s with the backup camera not working. All the other buttons and controls work. I followed your steps but when I go into settings and then system there is no “factory settings” on my screen to enter the 7890 password. Any thoughts??
DID YOU GET YOUR BACKUP CARMERA TO WORK MINE IS DOING SAME THING
@@mikebomar362 I did get it working but it might have been a coincidence. I initially downloaded a bunch of wallpapers and apps when I first got the unit installed. I was excited about customizing it and making it look the way I wanted. After thinking there could have been a conflict with something I downloaded, I erased/deleted every download and reset the unit and started over. This time not downloading any wallpapers or unnecessary apps. The camera works fine now but like I said, I’m not sure if it was a coincidence 🤷🏻♂️
Does it work for f250?
Yes
What brand is this? Is it the same/better or worst than the autotec?
This is what Autotec is selling. They are just a drop shipper. They just mark up the price and sell it under their brand name. There's a link in the description of the one I bought from Aliexpress.
@@f1fiftyjimmy so this is the exact same unit as autotec? How has your experience with the unit been?
It’s just some Chinese display. No actual brand. Autotec isn’t making these. Someone decided to make a website and call it Autotec and then label these displays from china as Autotec. They are the exact same screen.
So aliexpress is a legit site to order from?
Yep. Lots of people have purchased this screen from Aliexpress.
do the factory usb ports still work in truck or do you have to use ones in the glove box?
Factory usb ports still work with the sync 3 app.The glove box usb ports will be for the android side of the system.
@@f1fiftyjimmy thanks bud, one more question on it. When you are making a phone call using hands free, does it use the factory mic or android mic? Have you run into any issues of people being able to hear you?
@@brandonlively112 when connected to wireless CarPlay it uses the little mic in the lower left of the screen (assuming you didn’t install the cheesy aftermarket they send, I didn’t install it) but I’ve heard some people on a call will connect back to sync to utilize the factory mic but I was always told I sounded good on the mic on the screen.
Bro,, can you make me that wallpaper for a f250?
If you shoot me an email jimmystrait@gmail.com I have some. Thanks
Does the factory wired CarPlay still work with this unit?
Yep it all still works since you take the factory module and bolt it to the new display. FordPass app still works
Works perfectly fine just like it did before however the wired car play still only works thru the 8” display section of sync and as a result of the slightly stretched image it will show a distortion in the pixel quality of the icons in the sync-carplay.
Just clicked link and it says in the upper right "cannot ship to your address" in Texas
Ya I don’t really know why it would come up with that. Maybe try and change your address to something else and close if it works then change back to your address and see what you get.
@@f1fiftyjimmy it says it on the landing page, not when i try to buy......been wanting one of these for a long time and never heard of AliExpress before. I am not home right now, but willl try to go through the purchases later this evening , thanks for responding
@@MrDonny475 ya keep me posted!
