    FINALLY got a TRUE, removable towing solution..(see pics)

    Just an update, 45k on my truck now, 20k+ miles at least with Izzy’s install done and I’m still really happy, towed my 8500lb boat many many miles without issue, also never remove the shocks I just air down when I’m done towing. I also use for heavy bed loads not just towing, I have a Yakima...

    FINALLY got a TRUE, removable towing solution..(see pics)

    No cooling problems here including towing an 8000lb boat from Vegas to Powell in the summer. I did add a big brake kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Yeah, let me know when they start coming in the kit and when the music buttons on the steering wheel work then I’ll place my order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Guy, just to be clear, the longer cable still does NOT yet come with the new PX6 units they are shipping out now? I’ll wait to order when they are actually shipping with the new cable. Also have you heard if there is any upgrade path for people with existing units wanting to just pop in the new...

    Don’t understand why this is needed, thought “everything just works”. Ok joking aside this is good news, I’ll probably order the upgraded tablet hardware. My only last gripe would be not being able to see the screen with polarized sunglasses, any info on this? Sent from my iPhone using...

    If the pX6 fixes my above issues I would be happy to purchase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Try this: “Hey Siri, get me directions to...” and see if it “just works”. I agree for the money it’s not that bad, Waze works pretty good overall but is laggy at times and freezes on long 2.5+ hour road trips requiring turning the car off/on. If I could use google maps or imaps and Siri...

    Please report back on GPS etc. I’ll buy the new one if shit actually works this time, if not, I’m still probably going to put mine back to stock, too many GPS issues and laggy Waze through the Phoenix unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I reported the same issue earlier in this thread, on longer road trips Waze will mess up requiring you to pull over, stop/turn off the car and then it resets. Really annoying, probably going to pull my unit and reinstall the stock setup. Poor working GPS from Waze is a killer because GPS...

    Wanted to give a big thumbs up to Izzy, he got me all set up and I’ve been towing my new boat which feels great behind the truck now. Love how I can load up the bed of the truck, throw a ton of crap in the boat and I can tow pretty much level. The upgrade is great and Izzy’s service was...

    Waze through your phone or tablet? Waze through the tablet seems to work for the most part although today I was pulling my hair out because it was so laggy and kept conking up with connection errors. The issue is problems with any nav (factory, google maps, Apple maps, etc) on the iPhone...

    Biggest issues I have: -You lose GPS function through sync, so no google maps or Apple maps while iPhone is connected, bug in code makes GPS non functional, you have to use Waze through the tablet which works well but I notice after 2-3 hours of use (eg. On a long road trip) waze stops working...

    Another annoying bug that is almost making me take the unit out, so GPS doesn’t work through CarPlay/Sync which we all know, that has to be fixed stat. What I haven’t seen reported is that on longer trips over about 2.5 hours Waze (through the tablet) becomes unresponsive and says something...

    One more really annoying thing I haven’t seen mentioned, the tablet screen is totally black when you use polarized sunglasses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I haven’t updated anything since I got it fearing it might break something else, seems to work for the most part as is but my main bugs that need to be fixed: -GPS is flipped 180 degrees in CarPlay and useless (Waze GPS on tablet is fine) -screen is waaaaay too bright at night especially when...

    Any tips on the firmware update? Guy’s link has 3 files an img, bin, and rar file. The Phoenix upgrade video only shows extracting the img, what do we do with the other two data files? Can’t seem to find any good instructions on updating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Just got mine installed, ordered on 2/12 and it arrived a couple says ago. I was part of the clusterF set of orders, hopefully they got their S figured out for future orders. Install was really easy, took 1.5h from start to finish, used the YouTube video Guy posted as a reference. I did not...

    Is this the Ford Smartlink discussed earlier in the thread? I don’t really want to use my phone hotspot, my current plan doesn’t have it, would rather have the hotspot in the truck. Can you give me more details on this, price and plans available, is this something I can order and install or do...

    2018 Sound System Upgrade

    I haven’t noticed any difference. I am not sure how it could be different by just amplifying the signal after the stock amp with different component speakers and a bit of frequency tuning. I am no expert though, these are my observations only. Also forgot to mention again, the upgraded rear...

    2018 Sound System Upgrade

    I have noticed zero ill effects from going from the factory amp outputs to the DSP. Chimes, voice commands, even the simulated exhaust sound all were no different at least to my ears going to my new setup. I read reports of super loud fake exhaust going through the subs but I noticed none of...

    Yes it shows the input frequencies which you can then tweak or sum for the outputs. I am doing a fully active setup (no external crossover) so I sent similar signals to the corresponding amp inputs for tweeters, mids, and subs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    2018 Sound System Upgrade

    You are right, the grill on one of the speakers does cave just a bit. I don't know if it is hitting when the woofer is at full excursion, the other speaker is fine with no caving of the grill. I don't mind the two 10s but I have thought about a stealth box or other solution. I mainly went...

    Everything fit no problem, the one JL speaker grill gets pushed on by the seat a bit, that’s the only tight fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
