The screen has been soild for 3 weeks. I got my steering wheel controls fixed with a software update sent from sunny. My back up camera still doesn't work though.

OK I got mine installed and I'm messing with it, one bad thing so far - I am getting NO sound out of the unit via carplay... WTF. Any ideas? Actually it is sound out of the unit it seems - satellite and am fm radio work fine. YouTube TV gets no sound either, nor does anything via carplay, siri etc.

Also, somehow I created a PIN and now everytime the unit boots up, I have to enter a PIN which is super annoying and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Wish I could answer your question but I am a lurker for this screen still. Maybe try posting same question on f150 forum:

Just placed my order with AutoTec. I called them first and they said they didn't have it in stock at their store in Toronto and it would ship from their "warehouse in Hong Kong" The order would fullfill on Tuesday of next week and they said 5 business days after that via UPS. That seems pretty quick to arrive from China. Hope I get a working one! Plan to use Apple Car play with iPhone hotspot.

I think I may have figured it out... will report back when I know for sure, but the short story is there was an additional cable to my old phoenix unit that I did not remove... I hope by removing that (it was plugged to the CD player...) the system will work as it should. Fingers crossed...

Yep, this was the issue. If you go from a phoenix to this unit, make sure you remove the cable that goes to the cd player...

Whats the resolution on the backup camera? I'm having serious 4K envy of the Wife's 2022 GLE. Or am I confusing units and this is not the one you HAVE to swap out?
