"Tesla Style" 10.4 Android Radio Information

[Swissarmyknife]

The packaging, wiring harnesses, and head unit looks identical to the 7.1 fastboot I just returned. Other than the sticker on the back of the head unit.

Let me know if your USB connection is the right orientation and doesn't look like this.

That connector is correct, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the AC plug. I am either missing something mentally or literally.

If you have a 4 speed fan this video from linkswell is a good how to. They have some additional harness then ours.

I have the 7 speed manual, meaning there is no internal temp readout or set temp. I will check the video to see what I am missing.

So what are these connectors for on the unit?

AC plug?

Sorry, I meant the fan control.

Where do I plug in the OEM fan control to the unit? I was under the impression there is a harness that is used, but I checked, double checked and triple checked my assortment of cables and there is nothing there.

The linkswell video points to plugging in the 4 or 7 speed plug straight into the white socket that I highlighted above. I guess I didn't make the connection because the connector I have is smaller in width it seemed than the white socket from above.

Well, dinner time, a beer and then back to work

And because I am sure all are curious, here is the system info screen.

That's correct, no adapter. Straight from the truck to the white connection you highlighted.

The unit you received makes me wonder if the boards are compatible/interchangeable. Ourward appearances make me want to say yes.

So this is the plug I have left (fan control) and I have tried to make it fit in the center of the white socket, but they don't seem to match up.



Here the back of the fan control module...


and here the front...

Looks like it's the same as the small white connection for the high end climate control next to the 4 speed one but with an extra notch at the bottom. [emoji848]

My three button head unit came with an adapter for that. You need this adapter as now I can see the connection is wider.

I had this issue when I upgraded my MCU version - it killed my radio signal. I had to roll back to fix it, when you say that you upgraded the software, what exactly did you do and which files you used from where?. Just trying to understand better.

Same issue for me when did mcu update , rollback fixed

Could guide me to where I could find a mcu to roll back to please? I am a bit new to this unit but I have a extensive electronic background. I think the unit is a Phoenix android 4.4.4 unit with just the hazard button.

Thank you!

If RDS is selected on the radio region screen try turning it off. In addition, try fiddling with the radio antenna adapter while the radio is on. The adapter is not a perfect fit and contains soft plastics that can warp and keep the metal surfaces from touching with a lot of surface area.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both of those suggestions with no result. Any other thoughts?

That must be it. That adapter was not part of the package. I already started a new ticket it PA. That is a bummer that I need to take it back out until they can ship me the missing adapter.

The audio is also off and I am sure it's because I have the upgraded Alpine speakers. I used the cockpit slider that allows you to move the sound profile around and when I moved the audio to the front the audio went completely mute. Only if I went back to the center or to the rear the audio came back. That is a bummer, but otherwise the audio sounds good.

Also had my wife give me a call to see how the audio sounded on her end and she said she could not tell the difference from the OEM hands-free. Now of course this is without driving noise, so we will need to repeat this test again when I have everything setup.

I have no reference to the speed of the PX3, but can say that the PX6 is quick. I loaded Waze and used two finger rotation of a large section of the SF bay area and it rotated the map without any stuttering or delay. Overall all key presses and swiping is responsive and all of the apps I had open interact quickly.

The home screen app is a bit to get to used to. It took me a while until I figured out how to get to the playstore and I have yet to find any of the hidden menus for setup. All in due time.

Overall I am happy with this purchase and I know I can make this exactly the way I want it.

My bad, I didn't know you started with an 8.4 radio.

Like GTG said, you're missing the 8.4 adapter.

I thought the whole reason why they have you send them a picture of the dash is so they can make sure they send the right set of harnesses. Oh well, it's not the end of the world, just wished my first experience was one without missing parts.

If you guys have any specific tests or concerns that you want me to throw at the unit, please let me know. Since I have no reference to the PX3's I can't really tell if this unit is heads above the older ones. All I can say is that from an usability standpoint I see no issues. How this thing will fare in the long run we will find out and how it performs once there are more apps in the background or there is heat throttling, that has to be still determined.
