Good day, thanks for all the info. I have read all 42 pages and have seen my 2 questions ask but there were no responses. 1. I installed a couple days ago but can find how to access usb drive. I have a USB drive that is formated fat32 but it does not seem to be showing up when place in an USB extence or directly into the harness. Not sure if USb is not working on unit or I am not looking in the right place in the menus. 2. There was a post about changing trailer brake setting. I have to go from trailer with disk brakes to those with electic drum, on the OEM connect it was done in a menu on the radio. I can not find an option on any menus. Thanks for any help you can give.
I can't answer trailer brakes but for the USB, ensure the small brown harness is firmly seated on the back of the radio. It is easy not plug it in all the way as it's under other connection harnesses.

Has anyone tried the Torque app with this unit? I see the OBD2 module is as an available option when purchasing through Espony.

I read all 43 pages last night and it seems like there is some good information. I have 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT with the four speed fan control for the a/c. I ordered and recieved an:
TB1aMWMc49YBuNjy0FfYXFIsVXa_M2_compact_cropped.jpg
10.4" Android 7.1 Fast Boot Vertical Screen Navi Radio for Dodge Ram 2013 - 2018
With a aftermarket backup camera and the ELM 327 interface for my truck engine info through wifi.

I have not installed it yet. Does this model need the upgraded circuit board? Also there is ton of information you guys give but do I need to do with my truck as far as install and settings for the best result? Can anyone guide me? The install seems pretty straight forward.

You have the latest board so you're good to go. It's plug and play mostly. Can't really tell you what's wrong until you have a problem so go for it and report back any issues...

I notice people were talking about the auto lights staying on. My headlights will only turn off if they are in the auto position. If in the off position they will turn on and off randomly while the truck is off. I haven’t installed my radio yet. I was wondering if this common for 2014 Dodge trucks?

Nope, you should look into a new switch for your headlights.

The issue with auto headlights only occured with this radio installed.

Is it an RCA plug on your aftermarket camera?

You can't use the taillights, they are pwm (pulsed) not true 12v, you have to pull power from the trailer plug.

M² Mods.

Once you switch the power source and plug it up to the radio, let us know what happens.

Sorry I figured it out I wired it to the wrong harness so it would only work when my lights where on ha ha It's good to go now.

No worries. Glad you got it squared away...

I just installed my radio on a 2014 dodge ram 2500 and my flashers or hazard lights will not stop flashing? Any ideas?

There is a hazard button on the new bezel right?
