Got the new SC7872. Was told the model I ordered retained the oem head unit for sync but it doesn’t. I don’t care about that so much, but I haven’t been able to get the AC working and they haven’t responded for about two weeks after helping me get it installed. Gonna throw the oem unit back in...

It’s still there. https://phoenixautomotiveinc.com/products/px6-six-core-13-android-9-10-fast-boot-navi-radio-for-ford-f-150-f-250-f-350-f-450-f-550-2015-2020 But still not shipping. Every time I inquired about it they said it was 2 months out. I finally canceled my order after 20 months of...

They emailed me about a month ago saying the new unit I ordered would ship in a couple months or they could send me an android 9 unit now. I chose to wait.

Mostly because I understand there is likely nothing Phoenix can do about it. I assume the delay is probably due to the chip shortage and pandemic. I doubt these units are very high on chip manufacturers’ priority list.

I’m sure with the wuflu restrictions around the world and chip shortage whatever factory these are made in is super low priority for components.

I had the same problem. If I remember correctly I had to use a usb2 drive. It wouldn’t see my usb3 drive.

You can get an app from Phoenix that lets you wireless CarPlay to the tablet I think.

Sergey’s fw makes a big difference, but I still get the random issue where audio won’t switch from sync, and if I go into reverse before the Console app has loaded, the backup cam will freeze once it loads in the background. If I wait for Console to load first, it never freezes. I have the...

If/when they release a faster, higher resolution model I’ll be first in line. But I have no regrets over the PX6.

Venting to the motherboard seems like a good update. I’ve had issues in the past that I suspect were due to overheating.

I’m on Sergey’s firmware and have the old audio not switching to the tablet issue. Still need to try playing an mp3 from usb before I try pulling the battery cable to reset things. Other than that it’s been much better.

Sorry I don’t. It looked fine. Maybe a little black spacer bezel.

Traded my 12 in on a 19 and haven’t regretted it once. Love gen 1’s but the gen 2 is a different animal. I missed the V8 sound for a bit but the gen 2 is snappier and now I appreciate that turbo whistle. Only mods I had were a CAI and tune. Although my 12 had 99k on it so it was time.

I think with mine the biggest inconsistency is what it does after boot. Sometimes it goes back where I had it last. Sometimes it plays the same station but stays on the home screen instead of going to console. And then if I launch console it changes to AM or FM. Sometimes it just boots to AM or...

Yeah even with Russian firmware. It’s probably a limitation of the 8.1 model. I’m not saying the Android 9 model would fix the issue. It just has fast boot.

No. At least not on the Android 8.1 model. It’s weird and random. I fired it up after sitting all night and it went right to the home screen. Then I turned it on after a couple hours and it did a full boot. But that’s not a huge deal. I’ll still take the big advantages over the minor annoyances...

Even better though, a Raptor He sent me white Raptor images for the other ones but I did a hatchet color job on them. changed my boot image for fun, too

I usually do that. Switching to music or the browser would switch it. But for some reason it wasn't kicking it over. Then this afternoon it started working after switching to the browser ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sergey’s firmware is dope. Just need to figure out why audio refuses to switch to the tablet with it. not sure why it uploaded at potato resolution[/MEDIA]

Actually he just needs windows. He can install it in Boot Camp. And you can download windows from Microsoft and use it unactivated. Or buy a license on eBay for around $10. Edit: reread your post and I see you mentioned boot camp. Don’t know why my brain focused just on the VM part. Maybe...

Thank you. Dang, who makes a 1080p display?

I see on the Facebook group it has links to 1080 or 768/800 displays. What resolution are the PX6 displays?

I don’t know. Just poorly written software. I still take it over stock. If only the screen wouldnt go blank and the tablet go unresponsive after an hour or so of YouTube playing I’d be happy. Although I’m not convinced it isn’t a problem/conflict with the wireless CarPlay dongle I have. Better...

Al of that and then also sometimes it plays the last Sirius channel I had on but doesn’t launch console, and when I manually open console it changes to AM radio.

For the money, I’d go Phoenix PX6. It’s got its issues, but if you can’t use google apps, what’s the point? You want added functionality, not less functionality on a bigger screen.
