Well, I finally got Liu to give me a refund as soon as he receives my returned (broken) unit. I'm out of this game, too many issues reported with the Premium Mustang. It's a real shame, but I guess I'll stick with the crappy Sync 2 system for now. I'll leave the Wiki up for folks who need the info. Let me know if you want an account to actually contribute there, so you can keep the info going. Otherwise, I'm out. Thanks all!

Sorry to hear that RVK.

It's nearly 2 a.m. and after hours of wondering what's going on after I got to it so quickly, StangATX realized I was missing a harness. I'm beyond disgusted but grateful for the help on this forum.

Message is still there because I need to explain that now there's 2 Generation. If you go to the Tesla's APK Manager you'll see firmware update (1st Gen) and Firmware Update (2nd Gen) You'll have to go on the 2nd gen. There's already an update available. Don't really need to do it though. I still need to modify the Engrish like the 1st gen for the Radio and Phone. Then I'll modify the Launcher to show the new Theme.

So is there a major difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen? I'm sorry I havent been following the thread for a while because of work and stuff.

Sorry to hear this. I've actually been thinking about going to a SYNC 3 unit. I do like the Tesla, but I miss all the buttons.

Are you at all willing to trade the little AC on/off board with mine? Mine works and such, but the 1 LED doesn't. I can't imagine this would be tested or impair your return.

Tesla in Premium

So here is a site that sells that "Tesla" unit. I'm sure most have seen this. Anyway, they claim this works with the Premium.

http://www.i-5autohaus.com/product-page/navigation-screen-for-2015-2016-ford-mustang

I messaged them and this is their response. I'm curious what is different with this unit that makes it work with Premium.

Below is the quick conversation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have the cables to make this work with Premium GT. A friend says this will not work with GT Premium cars.
12 hours ago

Yes, we do have cables for all Premium models now
12 hours ago

100% guarantee that it works with Premium? I have heard they do not get audio or backup camera working
12 hours ago

Yes. We recommend go to a local audio shop for installation. However, we provide technical support if you wish to give it a try.
Please make sure you select GT and premium package on the product page when you ready purchase.

I'm gonna post a pic of all the wires and the way they're supposed to be connected to the back of the HU that was sent from their engineer himself. I have to get to laptop and am at work.

So I have mine in. And it's great just haven't messed with it yet. Reverse and blue tooth and everything works. Trying to change the start up screen now. Only complaint is the radio is very fuzzy. Which plug on the back of the Gen2 is the antenna? I know there is a blue connector and white connector. I am going to try gps now while connected to the wifi next to my house

Also, I changed in settings from C* to F* but it didn't change? I remember seeing the fix but searching threw 150+ pages is a nightmare. Anyone know where else I have to change it ?

I've been at work all day but here is a quick update.
The wire they forgot to give me is an RCA and wouldn't affect sxreen coming on, so that is not the problem.
The HU A/C and pilot switches work, just not the screen.
It has been confirmed that I have everything connected correctly.
I checked the fuse in the car and it was fine, so that has been ruled out.
I will check the fuse on the HU when I get home and if that isn't it then the manufacturer says the brain is no good and I'll have to return it.
Pretty frustrating considering I was very laid back and wanted them to take their time and makensure it was ok.
My worse nightmare was having to ship it back out and it looks like a reality now.
I have to thabk StangATX for all of his help, as he went above and beyond.
I will definitely be donating again!

For anyone who wants the pic of oroper wire install, just hit me uo on what'sapp @ 504-421-5277.

Install is very very easy and it would've been an hour job with front camera if unit was working properly.
So no worries.
Hope I'm the only unfortunate one.
