I was actually wondering how many RCA's there are. Front, rear, and sub are a requirement for me. Unless the PAC Audio converter will still work. I suppose I need to contact the manufacturer on this one. I'm ready to pull the trigger and buy this if it will work the way I need it to

Your PAC Audio RCA converters will still work just fine. I understand you'd rather have built in RCAs built in. I don't have my hands on the unit yet, no word on shipping but if nobody speaks up till then, I'll make sure to report back. From what I've seen in videos, there is definitely a sub output.

Great video, but they didn't talk about the RCA's and I couldn't tell how many there were

I don't understand how this can be a good idea. People already don't pay attention while driving. Having a 20" hdtv for a radio seems counter productive to safety

I frequently use my uconnect app to send new gps locations to my truck. Will that still work? Can you use the factory GPS, I travel a decent amount and the factory GPS has been spot on with traffic and rerouting more so than google maps, and Apple maps. Especially considering I frequent my vacation house in rural Pennsylvania where there are long stretches without cellular service.

Waiting on a shipment update. The only notes I've seen about output is 50w per channel and sub out. So I'd say your best bet if you are looking to upgrade your sound system by adding this do it just as you would with the factory headunit.

I saw on a video question, that it only has front and rear RCA output and to use the crossover on the amp for a sub. I emailed them (the radio company) and asked at the sourse what the RCA outputs are and haven't received an answer yet. I saw another video by LInkswell and asked them there about RCA output, but no answer there yet either. It really isn't that complicated a question. I would have already bought the radio if that question had been answered

I don't see how it would be limiting or how your phone being lost screws you?

If the unit completely uses your phone as it's operating system and you don't have your phone with you, how would it work?

I was going to get the infotainment retrofit kit also until I saw the Tesla style available. I think at this point I'm going to wait to see what else comes out in the next year. The Tesla radio is nice because it isn't restricted (can enter addresses or text when moving) but it doesn't have XM and there aren't enough reviews for me to trust the quality and integration. Excited to see what comes to market this year!
