Hmmm.... I've connected to my hotspot on my phone. But, I haven't had it too long. The most I've done is set up my gmail account and download a few apps. I didn't notice anything strange though.

Whoa. Just noticed that there is a Phoenix customer service emoji in the forum client

See?

:banghead:

LMAO....that's DEFINITELY the Phoenix customer service emoji. I can tell you for sure. Actually, that was me again today.. Still waiting for Phoenix to refund the money for my 2nd PX6 that was returned.

So...I went to the settings menu and my unit came with the setting for "bit depth" at 6. There's only 2 choices on this unit....6 & 8. I switched it to 8 as Linkswell suggested and turned the truck off. Restarted....and it's at least 10X brighter. Kinda shocked. Still have to see what it looks like during the day. But, at night it's WAY brighter.

I used the browser and it seemed normal.... I'm curious where you were going with that too?
Good to hear, I'll have to put that in my brain housing group. It's possible/probable you have a newer screen then in your 4.4.4 radio. The older screens give you a rainbow/negative like look when 6 bit is selected.

For the browser, I have seen it reboot the radio as if it ran out of power, but only when WiFi was actively being used (it was repeatable using the browser).

I can get it to do this consistently when powered up on the desktop with both 4.4.4 and 7.1.1 boards. The 7.1.1 seems more sensitive to power fluctuations though, it also occurs on USB plugin.

All this to say if it was doing this in your truck, it may point out a possible wiring issue at the harness or truck side since you have had other power related issues on the PX6.

I just wish someone other than Phoenix was offering it.

No way would I ever go through them again for any product.

Same here....wasted two months on two different units that were probably fixable if they would ever get their $hit together.

There's a review of the Ford one on YouTube.
The guy doesn't like Phoenix either lol

The one on YouTube though must be older cause it has the built in ac not knobs .

I just read that entire page about the 12.1 in radio and know where did they state who the manufacturer was.... Anybody have a clue or at least have an account with Phoenix to ask them. I would like to search the manufacturer.
