I just swapped back to pioneer.. boy did I miss it.. worst thing I ever did was buy this hunk of junk.

I have one installed. Works great. You just have to be a little bit tec savvy to resolve a lot of his issues he's having.

You can actually tie into those to switch to outputs. There’s videos on a couple of his issues, as well as the female ends to male ends. His is a problem because he doesn’t have the right unit for his actual vehicle, therefore the wrong wiring harnesses as well. I’m surprised it works as well as it does. The rest of the issues are basic tech knowledge, learning curves 🤷🏻‍♀️

I took speaker wire and Wrap around the RCAs from the Radio . Then Grounded the wire to the Radio Case.

Its doesnt fix the audio issues, already looked into it. Better of with a pioneer unit

Another typical person trying to use technology they dont understand. Its just stupid. If your not a techy go buy a pioneer or something. These units require tinkering

Exactly what I was thinking its basically an android you could literally do anything on it

Which wire/ connector did you use

How did you do that if you remember

how can i get the update file ? i bought if on the internet so i do not have a real shop

Hit or miss and you will not get any support..

his problem was he bought it from phoenix. they make a cheap product. alot of people think everyone sells the same exact radio which is not the case. there are brands there just like there is kenwood, alpine, "sparkomatic" etc. phoenix radio's are the "sparkomatics" of the tesla radios. we sell which would be the equivalent to kenwood radios, that come with a 3 year U.S. warranty www.raptortechaudiosystems.com

This radio is horrible I had 3 so far. Smh

@@acsoundsyou are literally selling the exact same as phoenix Automotive genius, your obviously a fraud.

Will check that. sure i did that already with zero change to turn signal and backup alarm. Also new issue if you forget to release emergency brake before go in drive and alarm beep goes off and will not go away until radio is reset min 3 times .. unreal..

How do you do that?

Yes

J P my 2013 you can turn the rear on and off from the front. That’s all.

J P does your remote start still turn on heated seats and heat or AC depending on outside temp? Also will rear entertainment system still function?

@Craig Jones This is also what i’m trying to find out!! I heard someone say on another review that the heated seats and ac and heat still work with remote start. I imagine it is linked to that hvac controller board you end up reutilizing.

Doesn't have one and it's been removed junk units. Point was to show the junk they are.

Like it so much I got rid of it for a quality name brand head unit.

@@JPlightguypa Which one did you get? Thanks!

Works awesome for me. But yes turn signal is annoying. Volume like he said can be adjusted in another location settings. And won't reset. It was loud as all hell like he said. But now it's spot on.

Were not smart enough lol but I have 1 for my Nissan gonna put 1 in my Yukon they're good decks

@@killingitkustoms6832 make a vid. I'm looking at these for my 08 ltz Tahoe.

@@charlesbonetti7153 def will whenever it get here they take bout a month to recieve it's worth it tho and they have subwoofer input and amp wire 🔥🔥

@@killingitkustoms6832 I got to say I've been watching a Facebook group of people who have bought these and it is pretty much convinced me that they are not something worth spending that type of money on.

@@charlesbonetti7153 How so bro, I have been looking for honest customer feedback. I dont have fb tho

Wonder if you can add the electric ac.

J P I reached out to them but no response. Been bout a week now. Radio works fine. I have my factory Ac still wired up to the manual knobs til I figure something else out. Really Appreciate you putting up these videos though

@@headchopper27 good luck they tell me every day they are calling me.. so they prob won't horrible support

Mine is a Ltz which it has dual ac and heat as well so this unit will not work or did you not add a feature to your unit?

?? Mine works..

Donu have electronic climate or knobs?

@@JPlightguypa can you get it to work with the knobs?

screen timeout maybe? lol

Just pulled it out to sell. Put a pioneer nex unit back

Just until I find something else. Constant issues now navigation doesn't work loses gps and Freeze's

Haven't had one problem with mines,not so far.

j readdy keep us posted I wanna purchase this. And use it with my iPhone with KZfaq music.

@@281skunk sure thing bro,I'll let you now real soon,as it's coming out the shop with a new audio system...11,000 watts..so im eager to see how it sounds with the upgrades.

@@225maine let us know how it works with your system wanna try it out with my 07 avalanche

did you ever get your answer? looks like nobody is responding to you

spoofy spoof no

On their site says it will not control rear tv or audio... These are first gen and will be junk as you have been seeing in multiple videos...

I purchased one about a month ago. Had quite the struggle figuring it out. But figured the wiring. And yes I did get the rear entertainment monitor working just fine. It'll show main screen ie: radio dial including split screen. Like if hvac controls come up its on the rear monitor too. But if I play a video, only the video plays on the screen. Pretty nice radio.

I'm not sure the maestro can be installed anymore with this unit without cutting wires. I'd like to just disconnect the gm lan see if I can use without

Most. Of the feedback is radio quality.. I think

J P I just pulled the specs on the Bose and that is definitely what’s going on. The unit is sending 45 watts to the factory Bose amp and it’s maxing it out. Think of it like a garden hose with a kink at the end and the amp is the kink and the resulting sound (dB level) is the higher pressure water leaving the end once you open the hose even slightly. On the same concept. The Bluetooth signal from your phone to the head unit is the faucet on the wall. And turning up your phone volume is just like turning up the linked hose water pressure. Except you are already sending too much signal to the amp so you would compensate the loudness by turning down the volume on your phone maybe. So the kink is still in the hose and only so much water is being let out but without the pressure behind it it just comes out in spurts. I think your easiest fix is to go to Walmart and buy 3 of those cheap red and white RCA cables (left and right). Maybe 3’ or less it doesn’t matter. And cut the end off that does not plug into the RCA out jacks from the head unit so you have the plug ends for the radio and the exposed ends that you can strip the shielding on to expose the braided wire. Then you will splice the cut ends into the input (signal) side of the amp. I say 3 sets because you have the front signal, rear signal, and woofer / center signal. Then you will take the blue wire (possibly with the white stripe) from the head unit and splice that to the signaling input on the Bose amp. That wire only controls on and off but does not supply any power. Last and only after you confirm that it is functioning correctly, cut the light grey or grey wire set and the white wire set coming from the unit and tape the ends with electrical tape. You can buy a pack of like 10 red splice connectors at Walmart for around $5. This fix should take about 20 minutes. Simply connect the RCA outputs to the factory amp inputs and cut the speaker (line) out wires you have running your fronts currently.

As for the rest of the problems... maybe try looking for an android “sdk” download that someone has already set up. There may already be some patches out there for that unit.

There are some pics and I redlined the wiring diagram for which wires you will need to splice with the RCA jumpers. I also marked the wire you will need to either cut or remove the pin from the connector that is causing your unit to shut off with the rear controls. Let me know if this helps boss. If you decide you just want to dump it and go back to your other unit I might buy that one from you possibly just to play with. Hit me up at devinjdean@gmail.com. I don’t check this very often. share.icloud.com/photos/0SxMNAyh6EsJ-YoBLxOJO2lZg

They have zero support period. Go to rhino or elseware

This was posted over a year ago to show the crap product sold. Even if i still had it would have been figure out.

Yeah didn't work

How

Figured it out was a bit involved needed a usb drive

@@JPlightguypa yeah, you need to use a USB drive or you can direct download the image in to the unit from internet and then just rename the file.

How do you change the car?

@@angelc7140 rename file to what?

@@nicetomeetme5150 for the one file you are replacing with. Example: if the original is car.png and your new image is image.png just change the the name to car.png to replace the original image with one you want to use. Theres another way to replace it and you can find the steps on Phoenix radio website in the help sections, I think they even have a KZfaq video doing it.

Couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

This ended up free affirm refunded it it because it's junk but should $480

Yes I got rid of it and got a refund

No

Not bad. But you can notice a bit of static in background.. and on Bluetooth phone while. On a call very faintly you can here radio in background.. alot of issues.. not bad unit overall I can manage..

@@JPlightguypa thank you for the info om still contemplating on purchasing radio

Easiest/cheapest way to get rid of the static is get an amp bypass. Bose amps are ehh anyways. Either perform it yourself or take it in and have it bypassed. Typically you can purchase amp bypass kits online. That will fix your sound issues.

In extreme cold yes it works slowly. Once Temps outside got above 10ish degrees it started working fine.

What kind of problems?

@@rellyrell2159 *Screen isn't bright enough. Even at the brightest setting, it's hard to see on sunny days. *My A/C stopped working. All controls worked the first day. Then nothing. *Bluetooth cuts out. My phone still shows BT is on, but the tablet goes mute. *If there's no wifi, you can't see the map. *...and the absolute worst complaint I had was that I tried calling Phoenix several times at different times and they won't answer the phone. That's what sealed it because I was calling with an open mind to resolve my problems.

@@HHwrecker thanks now I know not to get it

@@rellyrell2159 Yeah, man. It's a great idea, but it has too many bugs.

@@HHwreckerthat’s awful funny I can call 10 times a day and they always answer, plus ur full of it!!!

Ac works

Everything is made in china buddy, look it up pioneer, kenwood, jvc, I could keep going, so what Chinese unit do you have, I bet its china made!!

@shannonb1411 kicker is made in the us of a. I run kicker and wet sounds. I promise you it's better quality then this Chinese bangood shit lol

lol kicker that’s funny, kicker is decent at best a lousy representative for made in the USA, you could of at least brought up sundown audio, but yes there is a very few made here, and honestly there no better then the Chinese made equipment, just like the phone you put to your ear every day is Chinese made, but I but you will google one phone that is made in the USA because there is only one, so can keep saving your money like you mommy and daddy told you to do so you can pay for a name brand that is no better and a re stamped china item. There is some knowledge that will save you some money 😊

@shannonb1411 I didn't say sundown because no one puts a 8k watt 200 pound sub in a boat lol. I don't run sundown that's why I didn't say rhat. My speakers are wetsounds my amps and head unit are kicker. I'm about clarity not a wall of bass so you can do hair tricks. My phone is made in south Korea not China idk where you got your phone from. In my experience the quality of knock off shit from China is poor.

Hey I’m interested

Dumb

😐

Not really that looks great....large screen is the way to go
