Here is my attempt to review the Phoenix Automotive 12.1 PX6 Vertical Tesla Style screen in my 2011 Ram 1500. If you are thinking about purchasing this unit for any vehicle please tune in. I've only did 1 update and that was for the Zlink app that controls Android Auto. The unit has been fantastic for me and I continue to enjoy it.

Grabbed one off Amazon not exactly the same but it has a tda 7850 built in amplifier and 16 bands of EQ. Came with 4GB and 128GB. Sound quality is great and powerful enough that I’m removing my mini amplifier from behind my dash. Time will tell with reliability, but I just went through two $700-900pioneer head units in 3 years. So had no problem pulling the trigger on $1100 unit

Thanks so much for the in depth update! I've been waffling on buying this unit for my Lexus GX470. I guess it depends on if you get a unit without issues or not.... I will be paying $250 to have it installed because there are some tricky parts, and it would really suck to have to pay that again to have it removed if there is a problem. But it looks so good!

Hi Mike...I'm trying to get my heated seat button to work. Do you recall, did you just have one wire to hook up behind the unit? Or, did you have to go into the software and activate anything? When I press my heated seat button, it turns off after three seconds. Same with the heated steering wheel. Somewhere, there is a communication issue in the canbus, I think.

Hy RidinWitMike, i´m watching your videos and these are great. I´m interested in a PX6 or other 12.1 Tesla Screen style radio for my 2011 Laramie 1500 RAM. Is the radio working fine with the Alpine sound system which is already in the Laramie RAM? Are there any issues, is the sound better or worse than original? Are there possibilities to connect a second cam? Actually i´ve installed an Kenwood DMX8019 with an PAC Adapter. Is it really worth the money? I would spent the money when when the sound is not so good? Sorry for my bad english. Best regards from Germany

these guys sure ain't in no hurry to ship these radios. i've gone round and round w/ them to describe my vehicle exactly, with their demand that i send Dash pics and then they asked for my VIN.. (i dont frikken think so, pals) it's been 2 weeks since my last email was answered regarding expected ship date. i read on the toyota forums that it takes about 2 weeks before they ship.. from CHINA, not from the "headquarters" in Cali. it also sounds like their customer service hasnt improved by much. i should have gotten the AuCar unit.

Ghost Clicks were apparently the unit picking up stray sound "commands"? 3. Has customer service gotten any better? 4. Did you ever find a way to get a button for seat air conditioning?

Yes you can actually turn the camera on and leave it on at all times if you want. Also works if you add a front camera. The image quality is ok, not the greatest but no complaints either. I can easily see and back up to a trailer.
