Tesla style head unit

Youtube work via carplay ?

 

No, but that’s a limitation of CarPlay.

YouTube does work if you are on WiFi or hotspot.

 

I have an issue where Samsung music files I have stored on my phone don't always play on the head-unit. Same goes with flies on USB drives. Sometimes when I select Bluetooth music to connect to my phone it sends my to Android auto and the music works again for the duration of the ride but as soon as I turn off the car and come back it won't work anymore. I have no issues with connecting to android auto, however. It connects all the time even when I don't want it to. It just won't constantly play my music flies which sucks big time.

If arcenik or anyone else has some tips for me it would be much appreciated!

 

Dude, where do you live ???

 

Why do they keep doing the bezel black instead of gray to match the rest??
I mean, I wish the OEM was all black but.............

 

Sorry, I don't have the videos up yet but I should by the end of the weekend. There were a couple of kinks that needed to be worked out, that are now fixed with a software update.

But the new radios are up for sale on AUCAR's website if anyone is interested at
https://aucarauto.com/product/aucar...-car-multimedia-stereo-player-car-video-copy/

Also a $50 discount code "XRunner50"

if you buy the 12" version it has also been updated to Android 13 as well.

Just so everyone knows I don't get anything from AUCAR except a free radio to test. I do this because I like to see companies making products for our trucks.

 

Some videos if any one is interested.

Ill add them to the main page as well.

 

Ok I have an issue with my radio. When I put my truck from reverse to drive the ac comes on on low and fan level 2. Then sometimes while driving with the ac off. The ac will just randomly turn itself on. Now I tried a factory reset and it started doing before I did the last firmware update and still does it with the current. Has anyone else seen this issue before? And if so how do I fix the problem?

 

I've had a Phoenix unit in my 07 DCSB for about 2 years. Very happy with it other than this gap. It has never seated itself very well, my best guess is the rats nest or harnesses, but I can't see where the issue is. Anybody run into this? It's definitely the correct model, as they had originally sent me the one for 2012-15 and I had to have it swapped out.

 

Hi there, I just received the newest 14” max pro Tesla screen. After installing everything, my AC nor hazard lights are turning on. Any suggestions?

 

Double check and make sure all the plugs going into the unit are snug and completely pressed in.

The unit was a bit finicky for me upon initial install due to harness plugs not being 100% snug.

 

Decided to unplug and replug everything. Also installed back up camera connections for a future time. Heck I might even tackle it tomorrow.

A/C turned on immediately. I was worried there for a moment, especially in this Texas heat.

 

As noted before, with this new screen my hot and cold air were opposite. I held down the re-circulation (third button from the right) for about 10/15 seconds and it changed to the correct setting.

 

I think the black does match the vents and the other side which is matte black. If the unit was matte blk instead of gloss I think it look more OEM than it does now.

 

my only suggestion for you is make sure the white clips are at the bottom and the yellow ones at the top. I have the aucar one and when I put the yellow clips at the bottom it did not seat properly so the different clips were necessary for me to get a proper fit.

 

So after a couple of weeks of having the new max pro version. I keep having issues with the AC. Sometimes it turns on sometimes it does not and even sometimes it comes on in the middle of a drive. I am not happy with this so far specially due to the price. Anyone have any suggestions, next step is having to disconnect harness and reconnect.

 

Are you on the latest firmware? If not, that's where I would start.

The AC harness is easy to identify. Check for loose pins, connections, etc

 

Would I need to download firmware and put it on a usb or can I do it over WiFi on the unit? Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I had wifi easily accessible near my truck but I went the USB route. A firmware upgrade done locally will almost always be more stable....
