Good observations. I got some feedback from them about the knobs, in particular as to why both knobs have a power button icon on them. They said that the knobs will be "user assigned", meaning that you can program them to things like volume, tune, seek, fan speed, temp. The power button icon...

Did you guys see that Phoenix is releasing a pre-order 13" (1600x1200) Android 9/10 with their version of the physical HVAC controls for the F150? Expected release date is March or April of this year. A few things I noticed: * The unit comes with their hard button controls/dials for HVAC. *...

Yeah, there is a PX6 Fastboot for our F150's, but the only benefit I would say is that the tablet is already on when you turn on the ignition. I previously had the PX6 standard, and was having issues with a slow booting tablet (which seemed to be dependent on the temperature of the unit). The...

Very interested in hearing your feedback, specifically for these issues: Disconnecting from BT phone call reverts back to SYNC radio: The issue is when you're streaming music through the tablet, and then receive a BT phone call in SYNC. Once you disconnect from the phone call, the software...

I wasn't that comfortable taking it apart and getting it aligned correctly, so I had a local shop take care of it. They really did a good job with the flat top and bottom. The bottom flat length is longer than the top flat length, and also the transition from the curved part of the wheel to...

Yeah, it's the Phoenix Android screen. Basically an Android tablet with a custom trim that fits into the console. The 3 buttons get relocated to the top, and you lose the physical volume and tune dials, and they become digital or you can use your steering wheel controls.

After sitting in my garage for about a month, I finally got around to getting the Carbon Cartel wheel installed. I chose the flat top and flat bottom wheel, but decided against getting the carbon trim insert. Didn't like the look when you have 2 mismatched carbon fiber pieces next to each...

That USB control knob sounds interesting. Do you have a picture to show how you integrated it into the console? Regarding the long boot times, my tablet is starting to have the same issue. When I first get into the truck, it starts up to a messed up Sync3 screen that isn't responsive to any...

Not sure, but here is what my info page says

I tried messing around with the stock images, and wasn't able to change any of those white raptor images either - was only able to change the boot image. If you decide to install Nova Launcher, you'll forget about all that since you never see it again.

Not really sure how to get the version numbers out of this update. I've done a few simplecanbus updates and unfortunately I've never seen them use filenames with version numbers either. There are 2 types of updates that they put out - canbus and PX6. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I...

You can try this canbus update if you'd like. I got it on 11/30/19 and was told that it fixed the steering wheel control skipping for certain apps. The apps I use (pandora, BT music) never really had a problem, so I didn't notice a difference but this might work for you...

Wow! That's all I needed to see. It looks fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to put that up. I sent an email to the guy, so hopefully he responds and can help me out.

So with this modification, do you get more map real estate on waze or google maps, or does it replace it with a black bar (like a letterbox effect)? Also, does the Sync3 passthrough image become larger, justify itself to the top of the tablet screen, or is there a black bar to keep the sync3...

I've also had that happen occasionally. I usually just leave it alone, and the tablet seems to come back online after a minute or so. I'm not so sure it's triggered by how long the truck sits around because I've had it happen even when it was just half a day.
