What's going on Jeff? Can you by chance do a walk through of your truck build. The truck looks great! Thanks for the update on the Linkswell.

Thanks for the video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I have a few small issues that I would like to fix and tried on my own but can’t figure it out now that the software has changed. 1) my truck reads my mileage in Km and my temp in Celsius 2) my back up cam is fuzzy I can’t figure out where to go to put it from 6 bit to 8 bit that usually fixes the problem. 3) and when I hit phone link the CarPlay isn’t working. I have the Gen 4 for the Ram any info would be much appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for the update! Can you tell me if you are able to access the vehicle settings menu which is in the stock system? I want to upgrade my 2014 Silverado, but I am on the fence to upgrade to the better GM stock system, or go with the Gen 4 Linkswell.

Not sure if your truck did this stock but on my 2015 Denali, it has a feature where when you answer a phone call it pauses any music or videos playing but also turns down your climate fan.

Yes it mutes the music but I've never noticed if the climate fans slow down, I never really hear mine running unless I first start the truck. Yes you need to install a mic for the hands free, antenna is only needed if you buy the optional IGo Nav. If you don't buy the IGO you will need to use your phone data or phone or truck wifi to run a Nav app. Your factory shark fin is no longer connected as well as your factory mic, you also lose XM for now unless you use the app. Most of the features require wifi. If you watch my first video most of this is covered.

Looking for this on my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Al Terrain. With the Bose the GEN 3 lost all Fade control. Does the Fade work on the GEN 4 and the Bose adapter? Did you need the Bose adapter? The only thing they dont do is the brushed metal bezel that comes with my All Terrain package They only offer the painted plastic bezels. Why is there an extra USB cable? The GEN 3 had an adapter to plug into the factory 3 USB ports for phone mirroring etc. I'm confused.

@hdrolling

3 жыл бұрын

If you have Bose you need the separate module, never tried the fade so I'm not sure about that. On the gen 4 the USB cable is the only one that you can connect your phone and thumb drives to, you will no longer be able to use the other usb's in your truck for the radio. They will be charge only. Gen 4 has no adapter to make the rest work with the radio.

You have two options, you can pay the extra $100 for the IGo Nav or that is already on our system but you have to pay to unlock it. It uses a separate Nav antennae and doesn't require wifi to work. But it's not updatable and the maps are from 2017. The other option is to use the google map app or WAZE app that requires wifi , so you either need to use your veicles wifi or connect your phone wifi to have those work. A third option would be to connect your phone with the usb cord and use the same apps off your phone onto the radio with carplay. I pay $20 a month for the GM onstar unlimited wifi and love it, pretty muck need it if you want to be able to watch youtube or netflix.

fade is disabled when using an aftermarket radio on the Bose system. You would have to run all new speaker wires from the unit and bypass the Bose adapter. The Bose amplifier only gets its input through two channels, not 4, and fade is actually a digital communication between the factory radio and the Bose amplifier, if you fade your radio all the way to the front, that will give the amplifier all of the input it needs, and all of the speakers in the truck will work. You just won't have fader control.

This is an old video, GEN 5 has been out almost a year now for 17-19 L5P. I have a 2020 now so no new content on the Linkswell.

not unless you install the XM app and use it that way. The XM antennae doesn't connect to the back.

That's extra but they have them. Stay away from ebay or amazon or you lose some support, says so right on the Linkswell main page.

I've never tired, I don't really sit and play with it that much. I have used the internet and used google that way but not the google app. If it's an app you can use on a tablet it should work since this is just a glorified tablet itself.
