"Tesla Style" 10.4 Android Radio Information

[SitKneelBend]

Here is my system info. After playing around a bit my auto headlights arent working they stay off. Also my heated/cooling seats and steering wheel do not work. If I use the manual button the radio sees them on then they go off after a few seconds. Could someone send me the link to the lastest updates? I looked on phoenix but am not sure if they are the latest.

I can get you the files you need. At first glance though, I think everything looks good. What year/model and trim level is your truck?

Can you tell me what your car type is set to and what protocol is set on the car type screen? It will look like this...

Hi, I’m missing some of my wiring harness an can’t seem to find any replacements. I need the RCA harness for an external amp. If someone could take a picture of the location it plugs into on the back of the deck an a close up of the harness it self so I can see how’s its wired? Or maybe a pinout diagram? Or a contact to order more harness? Thank you

Here is the harness (cream colored connector). I can't take a picture of the back, but it only fits in one...

Thank you that helps a lot!! is there any chance you could show the back of the female pin connector better, I’ll probably need to make my own from scratch, seeing how I don’t have it at all.

I have a 2017 ram 1500 sport but I have the alpine sound with auto air heated/cooled seats. The Car Type is Ram High and the protocol is that same as you have selected. One strange this is the app version yours has phoinex in the name I have Carcool. I did flash Phoniex update but mine still remains as carcool. I did not do a hard update with the reset button.

Don't follow their instructions on which file is for you. I've found them to be inconsistent. Especially if you didn't buy through them. I'll get you the files needed today.

OK cool thanks. The unit I have is from them.

Are the newest firmware's becoming more vehicle specific, or are they still generic enough to use on Android units in other cars? I ended up getting directed here because of the fantastic work everyone is doing (especially SitBendKneel), but I have a 2011 CTS, not a Ram. I'm looking to flash mine to the latest firmware and can provide a screenshot of my specs a bit later.

Ok, before we flash anything...can you confirm some settings for me. In your system settings menu (PW 7890) for "can baudrate" and "airbox baudrate". Can you confirm both of those values are set to "38400"?

And yes, use the hard reset button...

I wouldn't want to try it. I have seen Phoenix Android respond on their Facebook page to inquiries like this for other vehicles. Whoever answers their FB stuff seems to be knowledgeable and quicker to respond.

I'd be hesitant to say it will work but I've seen them going farther and farther back in years for compatibility. It's worth asking a reseller...

Yes I can confirm both

Thanks for the info. I bought mine from AliExpress, and even after explicitly asking about changing Celsius to Fahrenheit and being told it would be possible, it's not. That's probably my biggest complaint. I know there a many other car options to select from in the settings, and in fact have accidentally selected one before just by scrolling through the list. Nothing happened other than the wrong pic being displayed on reboot, so I was able to easily change it back. Here's my specs anyway, I'd still be interested in a link to the latest firmware.

So it has a faked Android Version on it. It's not Android 7.1.1 but 4.4.4. If you paid for a fastboot I'd get some or all of your money back.

This is not to say it's not a good radio, just to say that if they sold it to you by misleading you, PayPal will back a dispute (if that's how you paid).

Your firmware is relatively new (December 2018). As soon as you flash another 4.4.4 firmware it will report accurately. DO NOT attempt to flash any 7.1.1 firmwares, they are not compatible. Any 4.4.4 firmware Phoenix puts out that's listed as compatible with your vehicle "should" work.

Before flashing anything, be sure to make a copy of your customer.xml file if you don't have access to the original firmware.

Has anyone used this with the Alpine 9 speaker system? Does it all work? And how about DVD/CD player? Thanks all!

Yeah I knew buying it that it wasn't really 7.1.1 (and not fast boot). But for $617 shipped I was willing to take my chances on it being a decent radio. I'll see what's over on the Phoenix site, and in the mean time I've also emailed the seller to see if they can get an updated firmware. The GUI is pretty much identical, here's mine booted up to the FCC navi screen, but same controls at the top and bottom as the others. Thanks again for the info!

Yeah, it's essentially the same radio as what's being discussed here. There are rooted firmwares available for it. If you want a huge multi car type discussion to look through and repository of firmwares, checkout 4PDA's thread for these radios (use Google translate)...

Yup, actually went there first, but I'm not comfortable relying on Google to always translate correctly. I didn't want to risk downloading the wrong firmware and end up bricking the head unit.

Anyone have issues with the factory camera being very dark? Its very hard to see!
