I installed this in my 2013 Ram 3500 two months ago and it is a great radio I am so happy that I got rid of that garbage 8-inch screen. The people I purchased it from ADC Mobile has videos on here also and the owner gave me his cell phone number just in case I had problems installing it which took all of one hour. One thing that I did change is that I use Nova Launcher on mine because it is better launcher than the factory launcher. I highly recommend this and Walt at ADC Mobile. As for how it works, I tow a fifth wheel and still have all my settings that I need. If you see that little dimple on the right side of the radio there that is from using a drill driver DO NOT USE ONE OF THOSE or you will over tighten the screw and cause the dimple, use a regular screwdriver and do NOT over tighten the screws at all.
Our systems come with everything needed to install and retain the factory steering wheel controls. The only button we don't support is the voice control button because we do not have any voice controls built into our radio.
I have a 2017 1500 laramie has air ride heated/cooled seats auto wipers and high beams and other stuff my stock 8.4 unconnect radio controls will I lose all those controls
What wires have to be intercepted to add a cargo camera when backing up? I know to add a switch and intercept the tailgate camera but when backing up I need the cargo camera to come on when hooking up my 5th wheel. Not sure what wires to intercept and attach to my two-way switch that I have to install.
@@LinksWellInc When you say the RCA there are several in yellow red and white. As well the other side for the tail gate camera and cargo camera wires. Which ones?
@@MarioElzen they all should be marked. So you would take the cargo camera and the tail gate camera RCAS plug them into the external switcher, that take the output from the external switcher and plug it into the reverse camera input on our radio.
It would but you would need to add a camera switcher. The Dodge trucks cameras all have individual signals at the radio. We only have a single reverse camera input. So you would need to add a switcher in-between the radio and all the cameras you want to see while in reverse. We have a front and side input as well but those will not work while in reverse.

The speakers would just be backwards. But our new harnesses now are the same one with a plug in the middle you use to change between amplified and non amplified.
I have the 2017 ram 1500 with Alpine sound system. After I connected the t style radio I only have sound output from 2 speakers only either the front or the back. How can I fix that? What did I miss?
Ayman Almadani the Alpine system actually only has one set of inputs. So it takes the signal from the 2 speakers and then makes all the speakers play. The Alpine faded was done digitally through the factory radio which we can’t reproduce. So if you plug the HI plug in. You should have all 4 speakers playing, you just wouldn’t be able to use the fader. I hope that makes sense.
So long as the dash is the same it will work. Dodge has a few radio options for this dash style. So as long as your dash style is the same it will work.

My 2014 Ram doesn't have a back up camera. Will I be able to install any back up camera, say like the license plate camera, and it work with this. Also can the back up camera and front face camera both record footage in the event of an accident?
Christopher Baker the system has a universal camera input. So it can work with the Factory or an aftermarket. As for recording unfortunately no. We do offer a USB DVR that will record and you can control it on the screen. But our system doesn’t have a way of recording on its own. It would require an external DVR of some sort.
I've moded my oem 8.4 so that i also can watch movies on it (lockpic or something, literally just a different cabl harness). I wonder if this also will work with this t-style.
I installed one in my truck it’s not a bad system but has a lot of static from my Apple Pay end it takes a long time to start up if I’m in a rush and I need to reverse camera I have to wait
Felix Gonzalez the PhoneLink app has updates that should fix the issue with the CarPlay. The camera also should work before the radio boots up as well. You should need to wait?
I’ve been looking to purchase as I’ve just installed a regular double din fir the time being in my Ram but i also have a entire aftermarket system in my truck with 4 channels pre amp out puts and a 2 channel sub out put ...my question is does your unit offer a 4 channel as well as a 2 channel sub output thanks in advance and look forward to getting if it has what i need
I have a 2008 Ram 2500. I know the screen bezel itself will not fit in my dash bezel. Pending your answer to my question I plan to get a used bezel and modify it to fit the linkswell bezel. Would it still not work due to the wiring configurations (both the radio and AC)?
Paul West you are correct. The CANBUS system in the 2008 is very different from the 2014-up. So it would be a much bigger job then just the physical mounting of the unit. We do have a universal Double Din T-Style that gives you the same size screen and Android features but in a universal install. So it won’t do anything for your Climate Controls. But it installs as simply as any other industry standard Double Din Radio. We have a short video on our channel showing a few of the features. We will have an install and functions video soon as well.
You can use the find a retailer tab on our website to find a local dealer or you can purchase online through one of our online dealers like www.adcmobile.com
How well does this radio work with the 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie with auto climate controls and other truck settings like air ride suspension and lighting?
2013 is a split year. Not all 2013's will work with our system we would need to see your dash to confirm. Regarding the settings, is the air ride only programable through the radio screen? What lighting are you referring too?
Our radios require the removal of the factory radio. So we don't retain the SiriusXM. We will have SiriusXM support once our interface is approved by SiriusXM. Until then you would have to either use the app on the radio or the app on your phone through the PhoneLink or Bluetooth.
@@funwithdirt7076 yes. SiriusXM is proprietary and you have to first be approved to enter development. Then have to have your interface approved. We were approved to start over 2 years ago. And they have 4 of our radios as working test units currently and we are working through each step. So we will have interface approval at some point but we don’t know when.
@@LinksWellInc awesome. Thanks! Final question. Does the installation completely disable all vehicle voice commands or just commands that pertain specifically to radio functions? Phone calls in particular.
@@funwithdirt7076 it removes the voice commands all together. The voice commands are part of UConnect system. Our radio doesn’t have a voice control program. Some phones will let you use the voice button to activate Siri or Hey Google when in CarPlay or Android Auto.
We don't sell direct retail. We have a find a dealer tab on our website that will list dealer nearest to you by zipcode, or if you want to purchase online, we have a couple online dealers like www.adcmobile.com
The sun and any bright reflections makes it impossible to see the display on the first generation style. Does this unit have the same mirroring effect as well?
I just noticed that you said it also comes with the front camera because the stereo shop that I went to wanted to charge me for the front camera And navigation
Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if you can install a factory 12” screen into an older model truck? If so we couldn’t say. We are the manufacturer of the radio in this video. We aren’t a shop installing other product. Or If your asking if we make a 12” for the new Ram yes we do. You can find our video on that system on your channel.
i BOUGHT THIS ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR MY 2016 RAM, EVERYTHING CAME OK, BUT THE BIG CONNECTOR CAME LABELED FOR A FORD F-150. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN GET THE RIGHT ONE? I DONT MIND PAYING FOR IT, SINCE ITS BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR AND I DONT HAVE MY TICKET OR ANYTHING. I'M IN MEXICO.
I bought this radio but now is makes my alpine sounds system sound like trash ... All my speakers sound blown and my subwoofers sound like they are cracking instead of hitting the bass .. Any help??
Whipskicksn40s Tv we can’t. Because all factory mics are not created equal we would have to build our systems with a bunch of different Bluetooth parts, varied by model and would drive costs up. It also makes quality control hard when you rely on parts that aren’t yours to test or build. Many of our customers though have installed the mic in the factory location making it appear factory.
I bought a 2018 ram but it doesn’t come with a touchscreen radio at all, will I be able to see my tailgate camera on my new screen or will I still have to use my mirror
FLEXXX sorry man. Hard to develop systems for vehicles no longer in production, that’s why we came out with a Universal Double Din. To try and bridge that gap.
@@LinksWellInc I hear ya.... just seems like it would be easy to design one for those years since nothing is changing... the hvac controls are digital and the dash is all the same.
@@_flexxx_ it is harder to get our hands on one actually, and even harder to test every trim level. When its a new vehicle we have contacts at dealers that we can get into every trim level and test all versions in one shot, just because they are digital doesn't mean they all have the same features, which changes the coding and so on. Then you have to take into consideration the finical side. It takes the sale of about 500 systems to cover the cost of development. When a vehicle isn't in production, you only have what is out there as prospective customers. Its a hard game of numbers at that point.
We are the manufacturer and don't sell direct retail. We do have a find a dealer tab on our website that will list local dealers by Zipcode, or you can purchase online through one of our online dealers like Adc Mobile.
nishes shrestha there isn’t an actual mic on the face anymore. We removed it due to an issue with an echo in calls. We just haven’t done the work to retool the molds.
Lou Indorato the only system we have that would work in the 2009 would be our Universal 10.1” Double Din T-Style Radio. You would need to get all the 3rd party parts needed to install a double Din radio, the install kit, antenna adaptors and harness adaptors. The Universal system does everything the vehicle specific systems do except control the climate controls.
Wes Pellerin the kit will come with everything you need. You can purchase through a local dealer, we have a find a retailer tab on our website that you can use to find a local retailer using your zip code, or you can purchase online through one of our online dealers like www.adcmobile.com
Willie Porche you can use the XM APP through your phone or download it directly to the tablet itself. We are in product development to make a separate tuner that will work without data. We should have something in the next month.
Renzo Benjumea where do you have the yellow microphone plug plugged into? Where did you mouth the mic? And make sure the wire didn’t get pinched or cut where you ran it.
Anthowine Bradford the 2010 has a completely different dash and CANBUS set up. So this system won’t work on that truck. But you can install one of our Universal 10.1” Double Din T-Style Radios.
Could you give me more information about that system you said that'll work on my 2010 Ford RAM and how much it is cuz I definitely want to get one I would love to get one just like the one y'all have for the newer models but I guess that's wishful thinking
@@LinksWellInc how you doing this is Antoine again I would love to know more about that system that I can put in my Dodge Ram 2010 since I can't use the system for the 12 and up I would love to find out more about that touch panel if it is a touch panel could you send me the links to find out more about it or how much it cost cuz I really want to set this truck out and look good thank you
Anthowine Bradford for sure man. This link takes you to our website and there are a couple UA-cam videos showing the install and some of the features. www.linkswellinc.com/products/t-style-radio/ts-dduniv10-1a/ We also have some pics on our Instagram and Facebook. You can find us at Linkswell_Inc
@@LinksWellInc awesome! That was my main concern with this unit since I currently have subs on the stock head unit. Everything else plug n play? And retains all of the features? Besides the unconnect stuff.
@@LinksWellInc any experience with subs and the sound quality? Does it have a pretty good EQ and low/high filters just like other aftermarket head units? I love the looks of it, but im a big sound quality person, and if it doesn't have those features I don't know if I can roll with it.
@@nugsfan91 So the Output is 5 Volt but the preamp is very basic. It has just the simple 3 band EQ and no filters. So if you are wanting to do a high end there are easy ways to do that with companies like Audio Control and others, they have some really nice DSP's even amps with the DSP's included in them. They take the signal we create and give you a WAY more advanced control than any radio could.
SmarterNotHarder we actually opted to not release a GEN 3 for the Ram and instead just last week released a GEN 4 with way more power and features then GEN 3 had.
@@spazoq Doing product development on out of production vehicles is much harder, and requires much more thought and work. Because they will not be building any more your customer base is what is already out there, that hasn't already been modified or is no longer on the road, or that someone would be willing to spend over a $1,000 on for a radio. It also makes having access to all the different trim levels much harder. With new vehicles we have access to them at dealerships, older vehicles not so much. Its a constant game of searching. So when we are trying to be sure we can account for each different option in a vehicle not having a ready access of cars makes that much harder. With that said though, we have begun the process of developing a system for the previous model of the GM. Though due to the things mentioned earlier the development will be slower then with a newer model.
Antonio Merkerson we have a find a retailer tab on our website that you can use to find a local retailer or you can order through an online dealer like www.adcmobile.com
MrAwesome00011 we don’t have a planed timeline on developing a GEN 3 for the Ram currently. We have 5 new vehicle models that we are developing and so it would have to come sometime after that.

@@elcharlyvlogz6569 watch my video on how to fix the bad sound. The issue is the factory amp held onto your preset EQ settings. So it’s like double EQing and a mess. This truck in this video was actually Alpine as well.
Great presentation and very informative video. Would this be compatible with my tailgate cam which has a camera interface (PAC) BCI-CH4I. My truck is a RAM 1500 2016. Please advise. Thank you.
earlwin aguillon it works with the tailgate camera. Though I am not sure what the PAC piece does so I couldn’t say for sure how it would play into the system.
@@davelindo3856 understood. So the camera will fill the width of the screen and be as tall as the image can be to keep the correct ratio. If you watch our video on our MultCam interface. It will show you the camera image ratio on the screen.
It should indeed work on your 2014. There is a find a retailer tab on our website that you can use to find a retailer near you. www.linkswellinc.com/find-a-dealer/
Sort of yes. This video shows our IQ 201-H which should work in the 2010 Ram as well. You can check our Instagram for more pictures of it installed in a Ram. ua-cam.com/video/KczQFP0XDj4/v-deo.html
What would it cost for this in my ram. I have a 2015 sport. Loaded. I've seen 1 on ebay. It's only 80p cdn mo ey but it seem very cheap to what you guys have! What would your system cost me?
So, the music will continue to play even when the backup camera activates? I saw a review video where the music stopped when the vehicle was in reverse. Is that a selectable option that can be activated or deactivated?
xxlt73 we are working with the engineers at SiriusXM currently to develop our interface for SiriusXM. As a company you have to be excepted into the development process and the process is at least a 18-24 months depending on how fast you can develop your interface. SiriusXM won’t allow you to release your interface until they have spent 12 months testing it after all development. All that to say we have been accepted and have begun the process but real time is at least 12 months from release. In the meantime if the app is on your phone you can use the app on the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, or you can download the app to the radio and use a hotspot and run the app from the radio itself.
Still working with SiriusXM to get our approval to add it. Until they give us the thumbs up you would have to do it using the app on the radio or the app on your phone.
Blake Larson we just released our GM System with the 7.1, and the Jeep JL System with 8.0. When we tested the 6.0 when we were building the GEN 1 and 2’s, Android 6 was failing so we stayed back on Android 4.4.4 to assure the least amount of issues. So far In our testing 7.1 and 8.0 have been solid but before we switch every system over we want to be sure. So as long as the GM and Jeep systems don’t report any issues caused by the operating system over the next 6 or so months we will begin the software rewrite for the Ford and Ram systems to run most likely the 7.1.

The EQ is super basic. Just Bass Mid Treble. Generation 5 will have a 16 band EQ one of the feature upgrades we are working on.
I've moded my oem 8.4 so that i also can watch movies on it (lockpic or something, literally just a different cabl harness). I wonder if this also will work with this t-style.
Superbike-Coach Corp well our system already allows you to watch movies through USB or using a variety of streaming apps.
What really just a harness is all you need to do that?
Superbike-Coach Corp how did you mod your oem 8.4 touch. With rhe modify can you add personal pictures
Does this come with apply carplay
hi
i had 2018 ram 1500 hemi big horn so this screen can fix for my truck please let me know thanks
Yes, it will fit in your truck.
I installed one in my truck it’s not a bad system but has a lot of static from my Apple Pay end it takes a long time to start up if I’m in a rush and I need to reverse camera I have to wait
Felix Gonzalez the PhoneLink app has updates that should fix the issue with the CarPlay.
The camera also should work before the radio boots up as well. You should need to wait?
OK thanks I’ll take it to my stereo shop so they can look into it
I’ve been looking to purchase as I’ve just installed a regular double din fir the time being in my Ram but i also have a entire aftermarket system in my truck with 4 channels pre amp out puts and a 2 channel sub out put ...my question is does your unit offer a 4 channel as well as a 2 channel sub output thanks in advance and look forward to getting if it has what i need
We do indeed have front, rear, and sub RCA outputs.
Can that fit in a 2011 Dodge Ram
I have a 2008 Ram 2500. I know the screen bezel itself will not fit in my dash bezel. Pending your answer to my question I plan to get a used bezel and modify it to fit the linkswell bezel. Would it still not work due to the wiring configurations (both the radio and AC)?
Paul West you are correct. The CANBUS system in the 2008 is very different from the 2014-up. So it would be a much bigger job then just the physical mounting of the unit.
We do have a universal Double Din T-Style that gives you the same size screen and Android features but in a universal install. So it won’t do anything for your Climate Controls. But it installs as simply as any other industry standard Double Din Radio.
We have a short video on our channel showing a few of the features. We will have an install and functions video soon as well.
Where we can find this?
You can use the find a retailer tab on our website to find a local dealer or you can purchase online through one of our online dealers like www.adcmobile.com
How well does this radio work with the 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie with auto climate controls and other truck settings like air ride suspension and lighting?
2013 is a split year. Not all 2013's will work with our system we would need to see your dash to confirm. Regarding the settings, is the air ride only programable through the radio screen? What lighting are you referring too?
LinksWell Inc.
Only through the screen. Lights on when wipers are on, light off delay, etc
I have a 2017 RAM 1500 Laramie with the 8.4AN. I use the Sirius XM radio. Is this supported?
Our radios require the removal of the factory radio. So we don't retain the SiriusXM.
We will have SiriusXM support once our interface is approved by SiriusXM. Until then you would have to either use the app on the radio or the app on your phone through the PhoneLink or Bluetooth.
@@LinksWellInc is that to mean you've applied for Sirius XM support for your radio?
@@funwithdirt7076 yes. SiriusXM is proprietary and you have to first be approved to enter development. Then have to have your interface approved. We were approved to start over 2 years ago. And they have 4 of our radios as working test units currently and we are working through each step. So we will have interface approval at some point but we don’t know when.
@@LinksWellInc awesome. Thanks! Final question. Does the installation completely disable all vehicle voice commands or just commands that pertain specifically to radio functions? Phone calls in particular.
@@funwithdirt7076 it removes the voice commands all together. The voice commands are part of UConnect system. Our radio doesn’t have a voice control program.
Some phones will let you use the voice button to activate Siri or Hey Google when in CarPlay or Android Auto.
where do you buy? i looked on the websit and its just the product. i cant add it to a cart or anything
We don't sell direct retail. We have a find a dealer tab on our website that will list dealer nearest to you by zipcode, or if you want to purchase online, we have a couple online dealers like www.adcmobile.com
Hey guys I have a 2019 ram2500 tradesman with a 5” screen I like to update it can you guys help me plz!
Will you guys be making these for new new Nissan Titans at all?
Steven byrne we are talking about it but we haven’t started yet.
If I plug in an iPhone will Apple CarPlay show up, or is there a way to get an addition of Apple CarPlay?
MrAwesome00011 comes with it built in.
The sun and any bright reflections makes it impossible to see the display on the first generation style. Does this unit have the same mirroring effect as well?
The GEN II has a bright and High Resolution screen, but it being as big as it is the sun does still effect it.
can you add amplifiers for subwoofers and door speakers?
Raul Rosales yep. Has front, rear and subwoofer RCA outputs.
LinksWell Inc. how much does it cost i have a 2017 Ram with the 8” screen uconnect
Raul Rosales the GEN 2 starts off at $995 and our latest version the GEN 4 starts off at $1,145.
I just noticed that you said it also comes with the front camera because the stereo shop that I went to wanted to charge me for the front camera And navigation
Felix Gonzalez ya, we had to pull the camera out of the packaging due to the tariffs raising.
Can you install one for the 12” infotainment system in the 2019 Ram?
Yet keep it looking like the OEM unit.
Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if you can install a factory 12” screen into an older model truck? If so we couldn’t say. We are the manufacturer of the radio in this video. We aren’t a shop installing other product.
Or
If your asking if we make a 12” for the new Ram yes we do. You can find our video on that system on your channel.
Do the climate controls reset when you turn the vehicle off or do they stay at the settings they were at when you get out
akabjones88 they remain where they were when you turned off the truck.
Will it work on my 2019 ram classic?
akabjones88 we haven’t confirmed for sure. But if the classics is the same as the 2018 then it should.
Send me a free one, I'll test it for ya lol
akabjones88 wish we could.
Are these still available?
We aren't producing GEN 2 any longer. But we have our GEN 4 T-Style now. Same system but faster and more powerful.
Does it carry serious sat a light radio
David Smith we are working with XMSirius to get our system approved. In the meantime it will work with the use of the XMSirius App.
Can these be installed in a 2010 ram?
i BOUGHT THIS ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR MY 2016 RAM, EVERYTHING CAME OK, BUT THE BIG CONNECTOR CAME LABELED FOR A FORD F-150. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN GET THE RIGHT ONE? I DONT MIND PAYING FOR IT, SINCE ITS BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR AND I DONT HAVE MY TICKET OR ANYTHING. I'M IN MEXICO.
We don’t sell direct. But if you reach out to one of our dealers like www.adcmobile.com they should be able to get you fixed up.
@@LinksWellInc Thanks! I appreciate it!
is the 45x4 a true 45 watts?
It’s the same as all other aftermarket radios built in amplifiers.
I bought this radio but now is makes my alpine sounds system sound like trash ... All my speakers sound blown and my subwoofers sound like they are cracking instead of hitting the bass .. Any help??
Have you programmed the HVAC/CANBUS settings?
You can’t retain your factory microphone? My truck is a 2018 2500 tradesman
Whipskicksn40s Tv we can’t. Because all factory mics are not created equal we would have to build our systems with a bunch of different Bluetooth parts, varied by model and would drive costs up. It also makes quality control hard when you rely on parts that aren’t yours to test or build. Many of our customers though have installed the mic in the factory location making it appear factory.
Does this system work for a 2013 Ram? The systems are the same from ‘13 thru ‘18 but it only lists it for the 14 thru 18.
Brian Kelley we list it for 14 because the 13 was a split year. Half came with the old dash. If your 13 looks like this one then it will work.
LinksWell Inc. thank you very much for the info!! I had no idea that ‘13 was a split year. Mine does look just like the one in the video
I bought a 2018 ram but it doesn’t come with a touchscreen radio at all, will I be able to see my tailgate camera on my new screen or will I still have to use my mirror
Because the signal is at the mirror and not the screen, it would require you to find the signal at the mirror and direct it down to the radio.
What do you offer like this for the 2010 Ram?
J.D Malone we only have the Universal Double Din currently.
Will one of these ever be made for our 2011 ram trucks that have the digital climate controls?
FLEXXX probably not the 2011. But we do have a double Din 10.1” that would fit in that truck with the use of an install kit and harness.
@@LinksWellInc boooo hahaha
FLEXXX sorry man. Hard to develop systems for vehicles no longer in production, that’s why we came out with a Universal Double Din. To try and bridge that gap.
@@LinksWellInc I hear ya.... just seems like it would be easy to design one for those years since nothing is changing... the hvac controls are digital and the dash is all the same.
@@_flexxx_ it is harder to get our hands on one actually, and even harder to test every trim level. When its a new vehicle we have contacts at dealers that we can get into every trim level and test all versions in one shot, just because they are digital doesn't mean they all have the same features, which changes the coding and so on. Then you have to take into consideration the finical side. It takes the sale of about 500 systems to cover the cost of development. When a vehicle isn't in production, you only have what is out there as prospective customers. Its a hard game of numbers at that point.
Does this modification fit on 2010 Dodge Ram 1500?
It won’t. Just the 2013-2108. We have an IQ Radio that would work on the 2010. You can check it out on our Instagram.
Where is this bought? I tried the LinksWell website
We are the manufacturer and don't sell direct retail. We do have a find a dealer tab on our website that will list local dealers by Zipcode, or you can purchase online through one of our online dealers like Adc Mobile.
Hello Linkswell,
i noticed there is a mic on screen as well, but in video you said run mic and camera from side. Confused??? Please verify that
nishes shrestha there isn’t an actual mic on the face anymore. We removed it due to an issue with an echo in calls.
We just haven’t done the work to retool the molds.
What do you have for an 09 Dodge Ram upgrade? Right now I have the Alpine 10 speaker system .
Lou Indorato the only system we have that would work in the 2009 would be our Universal 10.1” Double Din T-Style Radio. You would need to get all the 3rd party parts needed to install a double Din radio, the install kit, antenna adaptors and harness adaptors. The Universal system does everything the vehicle specific systems do except control the climate controls.
@@LinksWellInc does it have navigation ?
Lou Indorato you can use Google Maps or Waze or your phone, or for another $150 we can install IGO.
@@LinksWellInc can I see the radio ?
Lou Indorato yep. We have a couple videos on our UA-cam showing the install and a few of the features.
List of parts or links to purchase for 2018 ram 2500 tradesman thanks
Wes Pellerin the kit will come with everything you need. You can purchase through a local dealer, we have a find a retailer tab on our website that you can use to find a local retailer using your zip code, or you can purchase online through one of our online dealers like www.adcmobile.com
So no more XM radio after this?
Willie Porche you can use the XM APP through your phone or download it directly to the tablet itself. We are in product development to make a separate tuner that will work without data. We should have something in the next month.
@@LinksWellInc but no xm on the radio itself. Even if it is later available, there is no connection for the antenna
Correct. Like 99% of other aftermarket radios XM would require a separate tuner and would plug into the rear of our unit.
I install everything as the video says. the microphone doesn't work for me. What can I do to fix this problem? my pickup is a 2016 dodge ram 1500
Renzo Benjumea where do you have the yellow microphone plug plugged into? Where did you mouth the mic? And make sure the wire didn’t get pinched or cut where you ran it.
I have a question does that work on any of the Dodge trucks cuz I'm about to get my uncle's 2010
Anthowine Bradford the 2010 has a completely different dash and CANBUS set up. So this system won’t work on that truck. But you can install one of our Universal 10.1” Double Din T-Style Radios.
Could you give me more information about that system you said that'll work on my 2010 Ford RAM and how much it is cuz I definitely want to get one I would love to get one just like the one y'all have for the newer models but I guess that's wishful thinking
@@LinksWellInc how you doing this is Antoine again I would love to know more about that system that I can put in my Dodge Ram 2010 since I can't use the system for the 12 and up I would love to find out more about that touch panel if it is a touch panel could you send me the links to find out more about it or how much it cost cuz I really want to set this truck out and look good thank you
Anthowine Bradford for sure man. This link takes you to our website and there are a couple UA-cam videos showing the install and some of the features.

We also have some pics on our Instagram and Facebook. You can find us at Linkswell_Inc
Is there one for iPhones, up here in Canada?
Our radios work with iPhones
Can you install aftermarket amps on this unit?
Yep. Has front, rear and Sub RCA ouputs
@@LinksWellInc awesome! That was my main concern with this unit since I currently have subs on the stock head unit. Everything else plug n play? And retains all of the features? Besides the unconnect stuff.
@@nugsfan91 You are correct!
@@LinksWellInc any experience with subs and the sound quality? Does it have a pretty good EQ and low/high filters just like other aftermarket head units? I love the looks of it, but im a big sound quality person, and if it doesn't have those features I don't know if I can roll with it.
@@nugsfan91 So the Output is 5 Volt but the preamp is very basic. It has just the simple 3 band EQ and no filters. So if you are wanting to do a high end there are easy ways to do that with companies like Audio Control and others, they have some really nice DSP's even amps with the DSP's included in them. They take the signal we create and give you a WAY more advanced control than any radio could.
Will there be a release of the gen 3 for the ram 2500?
SmarterNotHarder we actually opted to not release a GEN 3 for the Ram and instead just last week released a GEN 4 with way more power and features then GEN 3 had.
Do you have a video or a link to the gen 4? I understand that it was just last week.
@@smarternotharder5538 Still working on videos for the GEN 4.
Thankyou very much for getting back to me so quickly! Ill keep my eye out for the videos! Thankyou!
Will this work with a 2016 ?
FonixFire yep!
@@LinksWellInc thank you
Is there one of these out for the 07-14 Chevy Tahoe?
We are currently working on one for the 2014-2018 Silverado. Nothing for the 07-14 Tahoe as of now.
@@LinksWellInc There are millions of 07-14 Tahoe/Suburban/Avalanche/Sierra/Silverado out there. Millions more than 2014-18 silverado/etc's.
@@spazoq Doing product development on out of production vehicles is much harder, and requires much more thought and work. Because they will not be building any more your customer base is what is already out there, that hasn't already been modified or is no longer on the road, or that someone would be willing to spend over a $1,000 on for a radio. It also makes having access to all the different trim levels much harder. With new vehicles we have access to them at dealerships, older vehicles not so much. Its a constant game of searching. So when we are trying to be sure we can account for each different option in a vehicle not having a ready access of cars makes that much harder.
With that said though, we have begun the process of developing a system for the previous model of the GM. Though due to the things mentioned earlier the development will be slower then with a newer model.
Will you be making one for a 2009 Cadillac Escalade?
Its not on our development list currently, and really not sure it will make it to the list unfortunately.
My 2018 ram 2500 already has mics for the bluetooth and voice commands. Would I still need to use the included mic?
Yes, you have to use our microphones we are not able to interface to the factory mics.

@@elcharlyvlogz6569 watch my video on how to fix the bad sound. The issue is the factory amp held onto your preset EQ settings. So it’s like double EQing and a mess. This truck in this video was actually Alpine as well.

can i put this on my 2013 ram 1500 quad style?
Allen Cervantes if you have the 2013 that has the same dash as the 2014-2018. They built 2 versions of 2013 trucks.
Great presentation and very informative video. Would this be compatible with my tailgate cam which has a camera interface (PAC) BCI-CH4I. My truck is a RAM 1500 2016. Please advise. Thank you.
earlwin aguillon it works with the tailgate camera. Though I am not sure what the PAC piece does so I couldn’t say for sure how it would play into the system.
Since 2013 was a split year, what info do you need to confirm if the Generation II will fit on a 2013?
So long as the dash is the same shape as what is in the video it should work!
Anything similar for 2005 ram 1500
Not the 05. We will be releasing a Double Din soon though you might be able to get in there.
do these work on a 2019 1500 classic?
If it’s the classic dash yes! If it’s the new dash then it would be our new 12.1” one.
Why not show the backup cam?
Not sure what you are asking?
@@LinksWellInc backup is important to me! Wanted to see the size.
@@davelindo3856 understood. So the camera will fill the width of the screen and be as tall as the image can be to keep the correct ratio. If you watch our video on our MultCam interface. It will show you the camera image ratio on the screen.

Will the audio playing through the unit cut out when the backup camera comes on (placing vehicle in reverse)?
bbalkcom you can set it to mute if you want.
So, the music will continue to play even when the backup camera activates? I saw a review video where the music stopped when the vehicle was in reverse. Is that a selectable option that can be activated or deactivated?
bbalkcom correct. You can turn that on or off.
What if I use sat radio what do you do
xxlt73 we are working with the engineers at SiriusXM currently to develop our interface for SiriusXM. As a company you have to be excepted into the development process and the process is at least a 18-24 months depending on how fast you can develop your interface. SiriusXM won’t allow you to release your interface until they have spent 12 months testing it after all development.
All that to say we have been accepted and have begun the process but real time is at least 12 months from release. In the meantime if the app is on your phone you can use the app on the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, or you can download the app to the radio and use a hotspot and run the app from the radio itself.
Satalite radio??
Still working with SiriusXM to get our approval to add it. Until they give us the thumbs up you would have to do it using the app on the radio or the app on your phone.
Any idea when the OS will be updated from 4.4.4?
Blake Larson we just released our GM System with the 7.1, and the Jeep JL System with 8.0.
When we tested the 6.0 when we were building the GEN 1 and 2’s, Android 6 was failing so we stayed back on Android 4.4.4 to assure the least amount of issues.
So far In our testing 7.1 and 8.0 have been solid but before we switch every system over we want to be sure. So as long as the GM and Jeep systems don’t report any issues caused by the operating system over the next 6 or so months we will begin the software rewrite for the Ford and Ram systems to run most likely the 7.1.
