    Having a 2021 F250 Platinum Tremor this unit goes above and beyond any other big screen out there. I was pissed when the 2022 dropped and had a bigger screen and trading in a truck after putting so much money into them over a screen just financially wasn't worth it but after installing this thing its not even a thought anymore. I'm running a sim card in the slot so when going down the highway playing a movie off any platform you want is great! (I don't recommend it) lol.... and over whatever you're playing the Waze or maps will speak over the movie with no issues... thanks for posting it was because of your original video I purchased this unit but got it directly through Autotech and they've been incredible with customer service through emails..

    Note - Just use your finger and touch those individual controls on the equalizer and they will move up and down. If you want a more bassy sound, set the center controls lower and left and right of those higher. If you play around with them you will find the sound you want and the system will save that for you. Also, you should be able to utilize the heated steering wheel when you use the touch screen setting of the unit's climate control panel as mine works great. Another tip that is a great tip I learned from another person on here is to buy a prepaid Mint Mobile sim card and you will have internet access 24/7 same as your cell phone and will not have to look for wifi hot spots. That way you are not missing out on a lot of the features that the unit offers as well as , you won't have to deal with the Apple Car Play for using navigation etc and that means no waiting for that annoying start up screen that comes in every single time that you start the vehicle..

    Couple of questions: 1) I thought that I saw the connection when you were hooking it up but if I want to upgrade the rear camera to a better quality AHD camera. Was there a connection for it? That might be what the CVVD setting is for. 2) Did it come with an installation manual? If so how were the instructions? Who do you reach out for customer support/updates? 3) You didn't talk about the navigation through the Android tablet (vs. Carplay) Have you tried running Waze or Google Maps through the tablet? If so, how was the accuracy using thhe GPS antenna they provided? Sorry, I guess that was more than a couple of questions.

    Not sure if you can change out the camera. I tried researching and found nothing on that. I was able to find a copy of the autotec install manual and used that. I usually ran Google Maps and Apple. I like googles satellite view when navigating. I know I've heard others who travel alot and they like Waze. I know when I was down in Texas Google gave me a couple extra different routes that Apple didn't.
