Did you wait 20+ more days after getting tracking info?

Once you get the tracking it wasn’t to long , there supposed to send it to there shop update firmware with English version then ship out but from my experience they skipped that part and I just got it straight from China .

OK.... lots of good info. Thanks for responding!
Looks good sir. I hope you have better luck with that one.Well halfway through my install last night my dog ran off. Spent the next several hours searching the woods. [Edit: She came back on here own 4 hours later]. Ended up finishing my install this morning before work. Here is my T-style alternative. I haven't changed any settings other than connecting to wifi. lol
Installed using the metra adapter. Super easy unless you install the face of the adapter upside down and of course it wasn't labeled. lol

Because the radio is recessed from the console I had to install the included metal extension brackets under the clips.

Finished install with default launcher and live wallpaper. Perfect screen size any bigger and I would be blocking the vents to much. Oh polarized sunglasses are a problem with this screen too. The screen is fixed but there are screws to tilt it up and down. However you would have to remove the radio to adjust the tilt.

Doesn't sit flush because of how the console curves but can't tell from where you or a passenger sits.

Installed the INCLUDED external mic!! Haven't had a chance to test it though.

The radio sounds fantastic! Way better than the factory or T-style units. The screen is very responsive even more so than the PX6. The quality of the screen is really nice as well. I had to dig through videos to find the passwords for the settings so now I am ready to start customizing.

I know Joying radios are popular options. Have you tried an Android Auto or CarPlay dongle with it yet?Well halfway through my install last night my dog ran off.

Any reason you want one processor over another?The Joying unit I installed has android auto and carplay built in using the Zlink app. Carplay is supposed to be wirelessly but still working on getting it to work.
Oh and I just figured out they sent me the wrong one so now I have to figure out if I lost anything with this one compared to the one I ordered. I guess the fun doesn't stop at T-style radios. I ordered the one with the intel chip and got the PX5 version instead.

Adapt and overcome motivator (but keep that new truck remark in your arsenal)!According to Joying's own video the intel sc9853i is slightly faster than the PX5. Plus I am missing features as well. It is supposed to have the built-in 4G module, support for subwoofer out, and wireless apple carplay. The PX5 version does not. Oh and I saw a blog post on Joying website about upgrading the board on the PX5 version with more ram and Android 8.1 which makes me believe I may have got a refurbished unit. They don't even offer the PX5 unit with 4GB RAM 64GB ROM. They only have intel units listed. We will see what replacement I get from Amazon. Luckily I don't have to send this unit back until after I receive the new one so I can reuse the connections and should be a quick swap.
Side note: My wife told me to give up on the radio already and that it would be easier to buy a new truck! I said NO! (Never give up. Never surrender!)
Yeah, they have been out for 4-5 years and the price still hasn't changed.Another option.... a little pricey though. But, at least it's made by Alpine. Here's a link to it on Amazon:

I have the Phoenix radio PX6 radio, but I have a few problems.
The radio outputs 24hr format time to the dash even though the radio is set to 12hr and displays 12hr format on the radio.
The temperature displays from 113-130 degrees. 113 it puts out cold a/c so the temp controls work, they temp display is just wrong.
I have the included android and Apple CarPlay however Apple CarPlay will not work. I can connect my phone and use it as a hotspot through the USB but CarPlay will not connect.
