That sucks...I noticed that the newer radio bezels for our trucks have extra buttons. Maybe there have been some manufacturing changes causing your issues?I'm thinking they took a little vacation. Been communicating with them pretty solid since the release of the 7.1 upgrade boards via facebook and now can't get a response for the last week. I currently have my factory 8.4 unit in because of some issues I was addressing with my unit. Swapped out and replaced the mainboard to fix a non-working touch screen and now the unit will not stay on during ignition.
Yup basically they built in a "sleep timer" in the settings you can select up to 48 hours, so if your truck sits for 50 it'll take about 30-45 seconds (didn't time it but seemed slightly longer than the 4.4 version) to bootup. Start it within that 48 hours and it is instant. Newer version of android so if you've come across any apps that weren't compatible there you go.
Upgrade is pretty simple and you also have the option to send your unit back to phoenix (if it is their unit) to have them do the upgrade and "work out any kinks" (as they put it) for you.
It should work. Mine was originally purchased from Espony Cargo...it works.Thanks for the info. But I didn’t get it from Phoenix.....I got it from eBay June 2018. So since it’s not their unit, will their 7.1 upgrade board work in my unit? Can I always but my original 4.4 in if their 7.1 doesn’t work? Or will I destroy the unit lol....I’ll have a computer shop install the board.
What is pass if I did this update? I can't get into those settings now. LolPasswords should be 8861 and 7890 unless you performed additional skin update
What update? More themes on 7.1?What is pass if I did this update? I can't get into those settings now. Lol
I installed the Phoenix update (bunch of themes) on my Rhino Radios HU, it seems to be working so far but I couldn't get into advanced settings. I still have problem my radio does not show the actual station it's on (always says 87.5). I found password is 666888.What update? More themes on 7.1?

What country are you in? It may be the RDS setting if you have it turned on for your radio. I turned it on just to see and had quite a few problems...I installed the Phoenix update (bunch of there') on my Rhino Radios HU, it seems to be working so far but I couldn't get into advanced settings.

I'm in the US of A (Pennsylvania). I messed with it when first installed trying everything and it worked then, I must have done something. I may factory reset if I can't figure it out. I'm glad the Phoenix update worked for me, I am rocking a similar theme (BlackUI and Red Theme) and so far am pleased. I did find you can show Temp on top through advanced settings but it shows F Temp with C° simbol. It only shows in certain UI themes.What country are you in?

So check under the radio region settings and make sure North America is selected and RDS is not. That may solve your station problem...I'm in the US of A (Pennsylvania).

When I inquired about the updated board I asked about getting a new bezel but was told they couldn't get their hands on just the bezel because they come from a different factory.That sucks...I noticed that the newer radio bezels for our trucks have extra buttons.

Very interesting...I really wish we could go straight to the source on these instead of all these resellers who know very little about the radios and especially their software.When I inquired about the updated board I asked about getting a new bezel but was told they couldn't get their hands on just the bezel because they come from a different factory.
Are you familiar with accessing the hidden settings menu?Newbs here I hope im posting in the correct box for a question I have. Can anyone help or direct me on how to enable video via usb card on my (10.4 screen) dodge ram? message shows a dodge challenger with the message "cannot display video for your safety!!!" even in park it wont play videos. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.
Using a valid firmware for your radio, rename the firmware file px3_reset.img and put it in a USB drive formatted FAT32.I did a factory reset today (was having issues with my screen suddenly going black and it kept jumping between trim settings i think cause ac functions would be different every reset , had to reset multiple times, and my radio tuner only reads 87.5 no matter the station) but it did not fix my radio issue. Does anyone know how I might reset the MCU? I am going to try to unplug it and see if that helps when it warms up here (2 degrees today). But thought I'd see if anyone had experience. How do you reset the saved stations cause mine are saved even after factory reset via settings and extra settings menus.
