    "Screen motor" sounds like another term for "expensive fix"

    Do yourself a favor and spend about $150 in sound deadener and do your doors and rear wall.

    $700+ in audio upgrades only to keep the resonance of a rattling shitbox cab makes no sense either. :)

    Thanks for posting this. Been half assed looking to replace my factory unit, but like you, thought it was stupid in the shitty location. I love the tilted screen.

    Can you use Google maps with that HU? I would love to hear and see directions, mostly hear, thru the HU and not my phone. If you got a PIC of maps I would love to see that.

    Thanks

    Installed my extended rear brake line today. The threads from the steel line didn't like the threads in the new hose very much and they began cross threading. After multiple careful attempts at threading, I just decided to thread the old line back in and link the new hose to the old one. The bleeding seems to have gone well also, however I'm still a little nervous about it.

    Hey everyone, I'm redoing the interior of my truck, similar to madjik's. I was wondering how you get the interior light cover off so I can paint it. Thanks for the help!

    I'm thinking my truck is getting past the point where sound deadening makes sense.


    If you're going to leave it like that, I would at least zip tie it out of the way of the driveshaft and getting caught elsewhere, but I wouldn't leave it like that.

    Could be.. but hopefully not. I expect decent quality out of a flagship device. Feels solid, we'll see if it lasts.

    Oh heck no, that was just a post-install photo. I moved it to a safe location and zip tied.

    Yes you can, this unit integrates everything together so you can listen to whatever music source you want as well as navigate through google maps at the same time amongst a bunch of other stuff. It seamlessly integrates and changes volume levels when directions are heard.. It depends on whether you're using apple or android, android uses google maps and apple uses the apple maps. The screenshots below are from a connected apple phone but the google interface is similar when you connect android.

    It might have something to do with the 800 lbs of tools you carry.

    :notsure:
