F-150 Tesla Radio Install
Ойын-сауық
Today we install a new radio in the 2013 F150. Let us know what you think by commenting below and don't forget to like, comment and subscribe for more!!!
**Update 3/25/20 - We never got the issues fixed with our unit. They offer a new updated unit that (seems) better. For the cost, I wouldn't recommend this exact unit. While at the time, we we had super customer service, we've since heard from a lot of people it's hard to get anyone on the phone. Maybe we overwhelmed them with the response from our video??? lol .
We've tried to reach out to Phoenix Android Radio to make an updated video but it hasn't worked out.

Looks great! Im glad your Google maps looks normal. I have a '17 F150 and I installed the PX3 w/ 2G of ram. Google maps looks weird. The search bar is almost halfway down the screen. I contacted Phoenix many times since I purchased it last year and they keep telling me that their engineers are working on it. Bull. I don't understand why it looks ok on other people's I've seen like it's and mine looks weird.

Did you miss the part where he said he remote starts the vehicle for it to warm up before he gets in it and turns the key? With OEM controls the cab warms up as the vehicle's engine warms up. With this system, the fan and control;s are OFF until he turns the key and the radio boots 35 seconds later.

recent research has shown that it's just better to run vehicle cold at easy RPM range for a few minutes going to school or work and thus heat core kicks in quicker. I've tried this and do notice a difference, but it seems like forever when your cold or you kids are whining about being cold, then all to soon everyone is hot! lol
@fernandadeavan104

When you start the truck the heat is off, and it stays off until you physically walk out to the truck and turn it on. Your truck could idle for 8 hrs with no heat cuz the new screen automatically shuts off the heat or AC every time you start the truck

"Braxton is locking doors like he owns the place" Lmao, thanks for the video, hadn't heard of the company but they make a similar product for my explorer. I've been wanting to put one of these in for a while, but I hadn't found any good ones under $1000, so I had started building one, with the hard part being reverse engineering the canbus to replicate ac controls, steering wheel etc.... But this one is a good price and already has all the work done! basically a no brainer lol. Thank you!
I think it looks good, looking forward for your next review video about the same

First time on the channel. Thanks for the vid Red Beard. I have a 2018 F-150 and have seen these for the F-150 and think it looks great. Of course I had the same concerns that you spoke about so I'm glad I found this video to see your review on it. I'm about to check out your channel to see if you posted another video of it after you had for a few months like you spoke about at the end and if not then I just subscribed and will check it out once you post it. Again, thanks for the video and I'm glad I found your channel. God Bless Brother.
Outstanding review!!!! Keep us updated on those issues!! I think they are serious downfalls.
That's pretty sweet! The issues with the heater controls and clock should be easy to fix, either with a setting somewhere or a software update. Hopefully they follow through with you on getting it sorted.
All car electronics installation instructions should start with taking the negative off the battery. Also, I don't have an f150, cool video :).
sir, that looks awesome! I'm renting 2019 v8 f150 and its a beauty. This screen setup on an older f150 is sick!
Great video . After watching this i ordered one for my 14 f-150

I know this video is a year old but, @ 28:12 when you hit the home button, I noticed the time was correct there and wrong above it in the notification bar (top). Not sure how I got to this video but, I am glad I did and I am going to check out more of your videos! 👍🏽

I'm really considering buying a F150 because of how easy you made this look
Way easier to install than the iPad I installed in my truck. The screen looks great, the HVAC issue kind of sucks but an update by the devs could fix that I would think, that is if they want to fix it. Unfortunately this company doesn't make one that will work in my truck but I'm fine with my iPad install, Great vid Brother.

@@tech99070 Yup, these will be so dated and insecure when they don't get any major security updates. That said, if you can get the same harness and software for an iPad, which I doubt, I'd definitely go for that. I only tend to use Waze and an audio app myself, so I'm making a head unit from a Raspberry Pi with a 7" screen running Crankshaft that supports Android Auto.
First time hitting your channel but “Son of a Kankle bandit” = my subscription.
Anxiously awaiting that follow-up video!
That looks sweet. Probably put one in my f150. Great video.
Hold that gauge cluster "Baby Daddy" LOL
"son of a cankle bandit" laughed too hard had to subscribe lol
Now I want F150 to make a deal with installation this amazing screen in truck. Thank you!
just to do what you did is just awesome!! regardless of its lag!
I think the moral of this story is; don't bother spending twenty minutes to pry off the driver's side radio dash panel without removing the gauge cluster to make it easier, when your just gonna pull the same gauge cluster off twenty minutes later to hook up the power harness to the back of it.
Hey red beard, u should download your area on google maps, works perfect on my truck. its a simple feature in maps.
THANK YOU for doing this video!!! I WANT 1 for my 2011 Raptor
I'm totally Astonished with your project! The final result and finish seems colossal, always in an installation will not work something or erratic functions, but you will solve that, I'm sure about it Red Beard.

For a 12 inch thats not bad lol you could easily pay 350 for a 7.1 with hardly half the features in a comparable vehicle. I have a 15 chevy(42k$) and the closest thing to this ive found is a 10 inch at 1300$. Lmao on the real it sounds like you require a reality check buddy... You cant acquire quality products for dirt cheap, unless you are stealing them. Do you expect it to be as much as the midgrade head units at walmart?

If you have a mono amp use a Y connector for your sub line and run your one radio connection to both amp channels. It actually sounds better than having 2 separate channels. My subs blew my mind, had them in my previous vehicle with a different head unit with separate channels and thought it sucked so I put my L7 kicker back in. This is the best advise I can give you for good sound from your sub or subs.
La explicación es excelente, bastante didáctica y muy bien explicado. Lamentablemente este tipo de radios no traen manuales de instalación y del propietario. Me gustaría que este tuturial también esté en español. Saludos muy especiales.

I'm pretty sure, you forgot to install the always hot wire. Most every android radio o have installed will have one hard boot, and after that, it just goes to sleep so that when you start the truck, or vehicle, it just takes a second too soft boot.

This thing is trash!! Got one after watching this video and as soon as it was installed none of the ac/ heat components worked. Dealt with customer service for weeks trying to go through settings but nothing. Finally they decide it was a bad ac card and in order for me to get another without waiting a couple more weeks I was told it was their policy that a deposit on another would have to be put down. On top of the ac/ heat issue the temperature guage only shows Celsius and no way to change it, the date/ time never stays how you set it and the unit is pretty slow and glitches quite a bit. I learned the hard way that it's trash and customer service is horrible. You've been warned
