My first unit was defective and the screen would go black or have a bunch of lines. I spoke with tech support and sent them a video of what it was doing and they sent me a replacement unit 👍👍 been all good since then
Good to hear that you're happy with it. I ordered one in the beginning of February based on your previous video. It took over two months to ship. I was told on Friday that it shipped out, but I don't know if that's from the US or China. So I have no idea when I'll actually receive it. I was getting a little buyer's remorse, but hopefully the wait will be worth it.
These screens are getting better and better everyday in terms of use and performance. My only concern is their reliability after couple years. Have you ever considered that and replacing your Atoto with, say, any Pioneer n your 996? Huge job anyway, you have me hooked to that awesome Porsche resurrection!
Got a rsnav unit for the Audi for around 1k too . I wish the rear camera was upgradable like yours. It requires a entire new wire and relay system. Wired android auto works but wireless is finicky.
Dude! You’re the man I just had the issue 2024 Chevrolet Silverado custom So crazy how that even happens but that’s exactly what I did everything’s working
Great review, I've been sitting on the fence with picking one up for my Colorado. Seen very mixed reviews for these units, but your review gives me hope. Gonna wait till later in the year for my install, I just fixed the demonically possessed ghost touching on my stock screen.
I got the Pheonix Radio a couple of weeks ago. Only having two issues and I’ve been adjusting the settings and on and off the phone with Pheonix until I’m blue in the face. 1st issue: Echoing on recipients end of a phone call. Both built-in and external mic have the echo problem. At first the built-in mic gave me the problem of not being able to be heard on a phone call. Then I found a setting that allows the mic’s parameters to be adjusted. But the remaining issue is the echoing. I found another setting that is supposed to eliminate the echoing, but after testing it out it only eliminates the echo for 2 mins. After 2 mins the echo returns. 2nd issue: Static and Popping in the background audio. There is this issue on all media: Bluetooth, radio, pandora, car play, ect. All connections are good and no aux plug connections are making contact with any metal. I have adjusted the equalizer settings, install set settings, user settings, and even the system info settings which is hidden, trying to “tune” out the static/popping but no luck. I have adjusted the gain levels to either halfway or below and I’ll admit that it did improve but the popping static sound is still present at times. Any solutions on how to fix. I will be sending mine back for a refund if I can not at least get the echoing phone call issue resolved. Please respond with any help or guidance as I’m almost reaching my refund policy window.
I have the same issue with the terrible sound, with UA-cam music being so bad it's not listenable at all. I have a $700 dsp and even using that and the equilizer and gain in settings, I still cannot make it sound good.
I saw that you said the USB ports don't work. Is that just from a data transfer point of view? Or can I no longer use them to charge devices? Thanks in advance!
Dude, you got me sold. So, I purchased one today. I have a 2016 GMC Sierra Denali ultimate, and I HATE the factory radio. My question is, how long did it take you to receive your new head unit? It's hard to find a unit to work with the Bose system, so you sold me. Thanks Matt.
Awesome review...thank you. Now I just wish I could find a compatible unit such as this for my '21 Sierra...really tired of looking at the same old factory crap!
@@matt13ross aren't the '19-'23 the same body style or is that just in regards to other parts? I know for things like a center console, any of those years will work on a '21
Does it come with its own GPS module? My 2015 Silverado GPS is so inaccurate even after updates, looking for a quality replacement. Great video on this infotainment system, thanks
Any options for front cameras to this display or to the factory display so I can see my kids that might be playing in front of my truck? This truck sits up too high too see small children or cats and dogs or other obstacles that might be in your front pathway, I have the 2015 Silverado 2500HD LML Duramax LTZ Z71 same cab as yours just no sunroof. Love your content and that's why I subscribed!
Man I bought this exact same unit because I came across your video a while ago. Got it plugged in and installed. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, no issues with my phone connecting to the system only issue there is a buzzing, hissing noise coming from my speakers and the music or sound will actually play. Do you know a fix to this?
@@matt13ross my phone is connect by the OTG usb plug. Tried wireless car play, Bluetooth it connects just fine. Shows my song is playing but no sound just buzzing through the speakers. I have the aux jack plugged in as well.
@@matt13ross Yesir I figured it out. It was something I did wrong with the Wires. Forgot to plug in the black plug that connect to the Audio box. It all works now. Thanks bud.
The [ PX6 SIX-CORE ] [Special Edition] 12.1" Android Fast boot Navi Radio for Chevy Silverado GMC SIERRA 2014 - 2019 from Phoenix Automotive, does not support wireless android auto. Bought this unit and in high hopes I wouldn't have to use an adapter to connect my Samsung device, but unfortunately after speaking with the support rep from Phoenix Automotive he confirmed that the unit only supports wireless Apple carplay and not Android Auto. You need to use the USB cable provided to get it to work for Android Auto. Very disappointed because over all it's a great unit. Hope this helps!
I ordered the same 1. When I contacted them I asked if it has Android auto and he said yes. But if you have it and it doesn't,that's a big bummer for me because I have a Android galaxy s22
Hello.Matt, After you installed it for a few months, was there any cons to this unit? Cause the14in you installed seems to have bad reviews lately and I don't want to waste my time and 1k on a unit that is going to go bad but was curious if you liked the phoenix unit better?
@@matt13ross with aux mode ON, in the console app… aux dongle in center console…. No sound. Remove dongle and still no bueno, thinking maybe a setting?
Quick question for clarification.... Are you 100% sure this one has the imputs for 360 video (4-5 cameras) ? Everyone I've looked at only has options for 3 cameras max. Thanks for the video
Every review I’ve watched, Ford owners have horrible experiences with this, whereas Chevy owners have great experiences with this 🤷♂️ good thing I have a 2016 Colorado Z71.
Its a hit or miss, had one for my 3rd gen Escalade for several months bought on eBay, and it was junk, it got worse with use and I thought Ill be able to update software or factory reset. But nope, horrible experience and returned it. Made a vid about it. Some people swear by theirs...
One of the things I absolutely despise the most in modern vehicles are those ridiculously huge oversized screens that they love to use for every damn function now. Give me a 7" screen for audio controls only and buttons for climate control and heated seats.
So I have the 2015 silverado 35000hd, the WT base model, I updated to the io5/6 8 inch screen, few years ago, it's garbage. Donu see any reasons why the 14" tesla one wouldn't work in that truck? Other then the button on the lower L/R Of bezel, I guss I could buy dummy buttons, should work.

That's so strange because I received mine in about a week.

@@garyschenck6271 yeah I got it finally. I'm pretty happy with it too. Only complaint is it's not as bright as I wish it was.
@@BaldBozoI’ve been waiting a month. How long did you end up waiting

Thank you! 👍
Thanks for the review just purchased mine !
Got it yet??
Thank you for the information. With all the out dated reviews I was thinking of backing out of buying one. You renewed my interest.
Great review, I've been sitting on the fence with picking one up for my Colorado. Seen very mixed reviews for these units, but your review gives me hope. Gonna wait till later in the year for my install, I just fixed the demonically possessed ghost touching on my stock screen.
Tons of mixed reviews out there, but mine has been great!
Can you do a video on the Settings for the 14 inch radio love your videos
Thanks! Sorry I can't make a video just for that, it would get no views.
Fantastic Thorough Video! Probably the BEST one that I have watched about this upgrade! Thanks for making this! 😎👍
Thanks! Check out the newer 14" video.
@@matt13ross I definitely will. I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ Crew Cab
How many watts per channel does this head unit put out?
Not a clue on that, sorry.
Looks great. Would love to do this in my 21' Elevation, but concerned about my built in WiFi and SiriusXM.

I looked at your merchandise and you do have really nice zr2 stuff but it's a 4-door truck and my 2021 is a extended cab

How's it Sounds? Couple of my buddies install stereo systems for a living & say they don't sound good. They look great though
Sounds like factory, check out the newest video. 14"
Sounds like crap, totally regretting it
Was just about to buy this.. now I wanna see what the new unit is gonna be first..
Sunday!
Hoping it’s the Autotec 14.4” 2k touch screen..
Awesome review...thank you. Now I just wish I could find a compatible unit such as this for my '21 Sierra...really tired of looking at the same old factory crap!

Sucks to see your truck content doesn’t do as good as the Porsche…
Love the truck content, that’s all intube into
I know :(
Does it come with its own GPS module? My 2015 Silverado GPS is so inaccurate even after updates, looking for a quality replacement. Great video on this infotainment system, thanks
I like the look of the 12" better than the 14".
Matt can you turn the rear camera on while driving forward. I tow a trailer and every now and then I'd like to look back while I'm driving. Thanks
Yes

Answered in the newer video.
Did you need that little speaker or the GPS box it came with if your using CarPlay? Installing mine tomorrow.
How did you do for the Next and previous buttons on the steering wheel work in bluetooth mode?
Does the tv monitor on the head rest still work for the back seat

Hey their website says you need a module to play apple carplay and android auto can you explain that please.
Do you happen to remember where setting is for the backup lines? Or what it is called
I don't, sorry.
Looking to buy this one - cost is now $688 for 128G. After 18 months, you still happy?
Will this work for a 2014? Everything looks exactly the same.

Matt, good video! Any ideas what to check with CarPlay not producing sound? Thanks in advance, the HC is slick!
Aux cord in and aux mode on?

I didn't look at all the inputs myself (there's a lot) but I'm pretty sure it has it.
The links are not ebay now and also now coming up as a unit from carsoll? Is that the same as phonix automotive??
It seems as though many companies use the exact same unit with different names. But you should check out the newer one I installed.
I simply love mines
You should see the new 14" one I installed. Even better
Is the trim you have the gray or silvery?? Thanks
Does factory Navigation work? I saw what looks like the factory Nav button on home screen?
I'm not sure, the factory navigation is terrible lol
Let me know if you want me to take on phase 2 the long term review; being that you have your newest 👍
Does it have rca outputs for amps ? and what about the door chimes
Door still chimes. Not sure about outputs.
Hi is that the silver or grey color?
Every review I’ve watched, Ford owners have horrible experiences with this, whereas Chevy owners have great experiences with this 🤷♂️ good thing I have a 2016 Colorado Z71.
Weird! Both my 12" and the new 14" have been great.
Can it work with the steering wheel?
Nice...hey what size rims and tires are on the truck
24x14
So do the usb in the console not work at all?
Do all the menus in the gauge clusters mini display still work?
Yes but it won't show the song if you're using carplay.
The car looks like a cartoon car with those wheels, like my 4 years old daughter draws! 🤣🤣🤣....maybe it fits in those roadrunner toons 🤣🤣🤣😔
Car?
@@matt13ross yup, a truck is used for trucking stuff...that's a car
I still haul and tow with this truck, which I can't do with any of my cars.
Would you be interested in selling this unit once you install your newer unit?
Already sold!
Grate video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
@MattRoss the apps on mine like youtube dont have sound, how can I fix this!? Thanks In Advanced
Aux cord plugged in and in aux mode?
dang now I really want one
Get the newer one in my other video.

Giveaway with this one after you get your new head unit? 🤔🤔🤔
Not a bad idea!
One of the things I absolutely despise the most in modern vehicles are those ridiculously huge oversized screens that they love to use for every damn function now. Give me a 7" screen for audio controls only and buttons for climate control and heated seats.
I do agree, I prefer the climate control as physical buttons separate from the screen. Same with volume knob, etc.
nice!
Was the 666 necessary from the company?
Huh?
oh my eyes!!! Those wheels and tires look horrendous. 😂😊
They're not for everyone.
No human worse than the UA-cam negative comment clown 🤡
I love em
Good thing it’s not your truck
Dont be mad get glad but head lmao
East of money lol, it looks cheap and does the same thing as a factory radio..
That's interesting because my factory radio didn't have carplay or Android auto at all. Let alone wireless
Yeah way too much money
There are better deals just do a search
No way, not too much money.
This video could've been 4-6 minutes long. You dragged dashit outta this video! lol
Technically every video could be 5 minutes long.
