From what I understand, they had a huge batch of bad screens and glitchy O/S's early last year when they first came out. By Fall 2019, they were pretty well ironed out. I bought mine from the new lot in November/December 2019, if I recall.

That said, they have a ton of returned units sitting on the shelf that they seem to be pawning off on people for less. I would avoid those like a Meth-head with Covid-19. Phoenix should really make it right, and toss all those old units. They know they're faulty, and should not be selling them at all....except maybe on Ebay as a spare parts unit.

I'm officially a year in...Though I had to exchange two of them early on(pixelated lines, and AC/heat not working) since then everything has been running as it should. I really only ever have spotify and waze running. Every now and then I use YouTube but it's still running smooth. Still has that wow factor anytime someone sees it. The screen has been worth it qhen compared to that miserable tiny base model sync screen.

my HVAC/steering settings (normal, sport, cruise) don’t work. Was that your issue? The unit needed to be replaced for that?

That was it exactly. HVAC didn't do anything and they permanently displayed Celsius temp. We did a firmware update first to see if that fixed it but ultimately it needed to be replaced.

I’m working with the “engineers” now, hopefully they can fix it without a replacement unit.

Does anyone have any updates on the 10.4" ANDROID 8 VERTICAL SCREEN NAVIGATION RADIO FOR FORD MUSTANG Is it worth the purchase? I have a 2017 base gt so it seems like it would be a cool thing to throw in but I hate cheap chinese crap. Any inout would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly I have a SUBwoofer would this complicate the install?

No issues here. The radio won't change your sub set up. The radio is essentially an input for the sync/oem radio. For 1/4 th price of the sync 3, or half what an premium radio+ install kit, idata etc. it's a perfectly fine unit. I keep building a cart on crutchfeild for a wireless aa unit and by the time all the extra costs get added to the HU, replacing the px6 is not worth.

Has anyone figured out how to delay the reverse camera from turning off when shifting back into 1st?

Shift Solutions Co 210 gram weighted shifter. I've since swapped it for a 600 gram weighted one that feels more like the GT350 one. Loving it and the GT350R Steering wheel

Oh man it makes shifting so much smoother with the added weight. You really feel the gear engagement. Much better driving experience. You can find shift solution co knobs on ebay for about $50

Hello...I just bought a 2018 GT & has the"tesla screen" in it (the dealer I bought it from said they sold the car new & had it installed)...
My question is... the mode switch doesnt change from - sport - to track or anything (actually it doesnt even come up on the dash)...when I do hit the button it starts going thru things on the screen - NOT the dash ? I'm lost lol
Any help? Thx

Im no expert on all things mustang. That screen wasn't from the factory. That is the older unit, the newer px6 version is much more powerful and fast to boot. The base models don't have drive modes, so on a base models the toggles don't do anything. What options does the car have? Active exhaust/magnaride/pp1?

It is a base GT , but I thought since it had the chrome switches - it would change the mode to sport / drag whatever... instead when I hit that switch it just changes stuff on the screen ?
