Thanks a ton! Well I tried your settings and still notta. Im calling Monday, they need to send me a new unit Im over messing with this thing.

Cam issue sounds like you are not getting a trigger. Wonder if you can try running a wire from backup light to radio to trigger reverse. You can test this by finding radio trigger wire and just touch a + to see if it works before wiring a trigger wire.

Personal preference I know, but that radio looks like someone put their laptop in the dash. Just looks too big.

If anyone here has the unit pulled out, can you please take a picture of the wiring harness (that came withe the Tesla Style Radio) that plugs into our Climate Control harness? Phoenix didn't send me one and I'm having a hell of a time getting them to understand what it is that they need to now send. Thanks!

Is this the climate control harness? I found this pic on the espony-cargo site.

Forgive me if this has been asked already but man alive I'd LOVE to get this for my 2012 RAM big horn (Shifter on floor) but everything I'm finding is 2013 and later... I found this but it's not the same: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-2012-...ash=item41d328eed5:g:AAAAAOSw-5dZ-Kt3&vxp=mtr

JVC variant looks a tad cleaner with less physical buttons: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-2012-...ash=item3f8936db93:g:q~QAAOSwnMRZ36Ov&vxp=mtr

Thoughts?

They may have android auto but you wouldn't have the functionality of the Tesla style unit.

This is closer to what is here.

Or

But with these they probably won't fully integrate with our trucks and there are plenty of mixed reviews. Best bet is to start checking out Youtube and watching some reviews.

I have a few smaller issues with my unit and i'm wondering if you guys have this too.
- Every time it starts the clock is in 1970-01-01 00:00 until it has internet access and then it updates the clock correctly after a few minutes.
- I can't do the SWC Study. I've seen on youtube you should click "Clear" first and then the button you want to assign and that button should turn green. Mine doesn't turn green and assigning doesn't work.
The steering wheel buttons however do work with the factory settings the unit came with.

DO you guys know if they make a generic version of this radio? Something custom that could be added to a center console on an old car that doesn't even have a fancy wiring harness, just a positive and negative wire

You could use this that way in theory. You could either just use the DVR pigtail to power it or just create a custom harness.

Phoenix android is apparently working in a new version for the ram, they are claiming quicker startup as well as true android 7.1.1 operating system. They are saying possibly by the end of the month, I plan to try and get my hands on one once they are out.

True Android 7.1.1? Upgradeable?

The end of the month? How reliable is this ?

They are saying true 7.1.1 they never falsified any of the info on their other units. Upgradeable I have no idea, I'd have to assume no. The "settings" menu of the android side does look different which does make me believe it is true 7.1.1

As far as how reliable is the info, they posted it on their instagram account, I then reached out and was going back and forth with whoever runs their insta account about the unit. They posted a video of the bootup and it is absolutely faster. The rest of the screen layout looked the same, it does appear they added a defrost button to the physical button next to the hazard lights as well as a physical "off" button. Also claim they reworked the bezel a bit. The reboot seems to be "instant on" the video they posted doesn't have a boot screen, it goes from black to screen on.

I've had my radio for about 3 weeks and have been going back and forth trying to get the correct harness but I'm thinking it may be easier to do myself if possible. At first I had sound in my rear speakers but not the front. I narrowed it down that the front output for the radio was wired to the rears incorrectly thru the harness. I found a pin diagram for my harness and was able to move those 4 wires and now have sound in the front. The new problem is that there are no wires in the harness they provided that are output for the rear speakers. Has anyone been able to find a pin diagram for the actual radio where I could find the outputs for the rears and then wire them to the harness myself?

I have the exact same problem. I complained about this and they sent me a new harnes with all 8 wires but the rear speakers still don't work. My next step when i have some time was to wire a single external speaker to the outputs to see if there's actually sound coming from all 4 channels. I did find the the pinouts for both the unit and the RAM, ill post em tomorrow when I'm at my computer.

Very! It's available to order on their site now! The Android 7.1.1 Fastboot configuration only comes in a 2GB Ram 32GB Storage configuration.

If you want to find out even more, there's a Russian forum with lots of info:

These are the same unit's as ours, they are just assembled a little different.

 

[guardiannite]

When someone gets the new version, please let us know if they fixed all the gremlins, and stock mic still crap

I ordered the other day when they were first available and paid extra for the "expedited" shipping which they say should be here within two weeks (5 days build time and 1 week shipping). Hopefully that's accurate and I can report soon.

Since I have the Express model I at least have steering wheel controls and an OEM backup camera sitting in a box I need to install while I wait for it to arrive.
