I have the crazy base system with the tiny little screen. Where is the best place to buy one of the Tesla style radios? Thanks for any info!

APK Manager updated! (Custom ROM added) - (New Launcher Added. Only 3 colors available for now...) - (New Radio dark theme added). I also added a README.txt in the Custom ROM's folder.

Enjoy!
I know this is an old thread but I’m so deep into reading it I would love that user interface you made how do I get it lol

Has anyone attempted to use Android Auto on this unit? I am interested in how well it functions. I'm specifically referring to this unit:
https://phoenixautomotiveinc.com/pr...g-and-shelby-2015-2019?variant=32213224489006
It runs okay with the built in app (ZLink), and slightly better with HeadUnitReloaded (from the Play Store) though it take a bit of setting up. It's not as responsive as a standard Android Auto setup though (like with Sync 3). I'd say there's maybe 0.25s lag after tapping something. The best setup for AA is using HeadUnitReloaded and another app to hide the top/bottom bars, that way you can have it use the entire screen.

That's the exact unit I'm selling used from my car. You don't need Android auto. It is a full Android unit and runs all apps just like your phone. Android auto would be redundant and isn't needed with these units. But yes if you want to run it for some reason it runs it just fine. It does anything your phone does. It's a full Android unit.
Android Auto has a much more usable interface whilst driving, and you also don't need to mess around with hotspots to get internet. It's also nice to be able to jump in any car and get the same UI up instantly.

To each thier own I just dont see why spend 700 plus bucks on an android head unit to then just keep using your phone to do the same things you did before spending 700 on an android head unit. then why buy the head unit? I got mine so I could get rid of using my phone and have a full android experience built into the car. It was much easier to find things and se icon and such on a 10 inch screen compared to trying to touch a icon on a 3 inch screen while bouncing around n a car. No really trying to dog on anyone. but I just saw this alot with these units. people spend all this money and time on these and then just kept using their phones. I guess i dont see the point. but anyway I think the units are great and I have mine used only about 4 months and is in brand new shape if anyone want to save a couple hundred bucks. sold car is why I have it for sale.
But you're not using your phone? You plug your phone into the head unit, then use the 10" touch screen to control it. It sounds like maybe you've never actually used AA/CarPlay... It's not just your phone screen mirrored, it has special versions of apps that are optimised for use whilst driving (i.e. better layouts, bigger icons, etc.).

How much are you actually doing whilst driving? Hopefully not very much! For the few things I need to do (change song in spotify, change navigation in google maps, etc) the interfaces for AA or CarPlay are much easier to use and require less attention taken away from the road. Plus your phone gets charged at the same time, and I can set up destination/music whilst walking to my car rather than waiting for everything to load once I turn it on.

These would be much more attractive in the UI/UX wasn't so bad. I would 100% purchase one of these if I could get a "stock" Ford Sync theme on it without the need for mis-matched buttons, outdated UX styles, and overall aftermarket look of it. It would be sick if you could get something that looked like Sync 4 out of a Mach-E or F-150 on here. Wishful thinking of course.

To each thier own. Wasn't arguing . But it doesn't sound like you even use the head unit so why get it if you just do everything through phone?
So i can install Amazon music and use voice to play songs? And the head unit looks this cool.
And my Navigation screen is much bigger?
Im sold,
Hey Briebee you still have this unit for sale?

I have tried searching this forum for the answer, I apologize if this has been addressed. I have the latest version of the PX6 inbound. My vehicle is a 2015 Mustang GT Premium, does anyone know if I will be able to control my heated/cooled seats?

Also, does the driving mode switch function as stock?

If you had the 8 inch screen originally you have to move your climate controls over and you get to keep your heated seats. Driving modes work as well. I just turned on the driving modes on my base model thru ForSCAN and works as it should.

Sorry, I am slow, when you say move the climate controls over. Is that just simply plugging the OEM wiring harness for climate into the new screen? Or do I have to remove the physical controls and remount them somehow?

you actually have move the motherboard from your stock unit to the PX6. They have a video on their site showing how to do it.
