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.
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
Do you have to update or download anything for the gps and how is so? I searched for your video you mentioned couldn’t find it! Please let me know I’m going to try to installing it myself
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.
What unit/setup would I need for a 2015 Laramie Longhorn? Would I lose the features below 1. Voice command + button on steering wheel. 2. Satellite 3. GPS 4. Vehicle diagnostics 5. Factory mic 6. Ability to adjust vehicle parameters such as rain sensing wipers, automatic high beams, comfort controls for cold weather, etc.
Anthony Arredondo you will lose voice control because we don’t have a system voice control. Only within the app. Sat radio we are still working with a SiriusXM to develop our interface. GPS we can run data based systems or we can install a built in one. Not sure which vehicle diagnostics you are referring to? We do not retain the factory mic, using our own mic gives us better quality control. We retain about 90% of the vehicle programming options.
@@LinksWellInc Thank you for the reply. The Diagnostics I am referring to apply to the uconnect system. It does a monthly parameter check on all systems, senors etc and generates a report. I was hoping your system had some like this. In regard to the programming functionality, do you know which of the following I would lose? 1. Safety & Driving assistance a. Park sensor volume b. Tilt side mirrors in reverse - on/pff c. Rain sensing auto wipers - on/off d. Hill Start assist 2. Lights a. Headlight off & interior illumination delay. b. Headlights with wipers - on/off c. Auto dim high beams d. Flash lights with lock - on/off 3. Auto-on Comfort 4. Engine off options a. Engine off Power delay b. Headlight off delay 5. Trailer Brake settings - can save 4 Different trailers. a. Heavy Electric; light electric or hydraulic; Heavy electric over hydraulic. I do tow quite a bit and would specifically need this adjustability. Thanks for the reply.
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.
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 need technical help with your px6 I was hoping you could help. I have a 2017 ram 1500 Laramie with auto A/C with alpine stereo and subwoofer. I replaced all my speakers, and bypassed the factoy amplifier using a specific T-harness, and maestro unit by iDatlink (the link is below) this allows me to connect directly to an aftermarket amplifier and Maestro unit ( kenwood XR600-6DSP) allowing me to keep my factory headunit so I can retain all vehicle systems. This system I installed worked flawlessly and sounded fantastic. After alot of thought I decided to install a tesla style headunit, once connected everything worked except all the audio, the Headunit has rca outputs for external amplifiers but the kenwood amp has no rca inputs. The kenwood amp, t-harness and Maestro unit were all designed to work together to bypass the amp. The amp connects through the T-harness so I can't use the Px6's rca outputs. Would it be possable to used the same headunit but use the wire harness deaigned for the trunk with no amplifer since I bypassed the amp in my original deaign, as of now the store will not allow me to return this, so I am trying to salvage this. Sorry long post I appreciate any help. maestro.idatalink.com ua-cam.com/video/-7GgmEbGiRo/v-deo.html
jim g can you send some pictures to me via email? Pictures of the harnesses your talking about. Pictures of the back of the radio. Send them to jon@linkswellinc.com
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'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’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
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 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.
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
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?
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
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.
William Hillock we have our first working test system that we are testing currently. So if the test go good we should have it available early next year.
Working on building our Sirius tuner. Should start testing in a week or so. Time correction, are you talking about individual speaker time alignment? We have a sub out but the control and crossovers are very basic.
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.
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.
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.
David J we don’t do installs or sell direct to the public. But we have a find a retailer tab on our website that you can use to find a local dealer that can get you the radio and install it for you.
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.
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.
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?
Unfortunately it will not. Our unit will only go back to the 2013 truck. We do have a universal T-Style that with the use of some 3rd party parts (Install kit and wire harness) would install into your truck. You can see the install video for that system in this video. ua-cam.com/video/7u0DBZe1DFI/v-deo.html Hope this helps.
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.
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?
@@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.
Hey there, I am the guy who made the video of the 1st gen. I would like to try this 2nd gen. Can you please message me? I have my email in the about page here on YT. Thanks
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dominick Bucciarelli GEN 3 and GEN 4 should release sometime around the end of the year. As for Sirius, we have been working with them on developing our interface but their process of development is about 18 months long so our GEN 4 systems will come ready but the app won’t work until Sirius approves it.
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/
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
Well it would depend on which 2019 it is. If it has the new 2019 interior we don't have a system to work for that application yet. If its a 2019 classic with the 2018 interior our system MSRP starts off at $1,095.
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.
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
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
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.
There are a few reason as to why. One is not all microphones are created equal. When you are working with a Bluetooth chip and system that is not specifically Dodge or Ford or Toyota, or etc. the microphones don't always work well with a foreign Bluetooth system. Another is when removing different pieces of the factory systems it renders other parts unworkable. You also have the fact that in product development of aftermarket equipment it is a lot of times better for quality control and for warranty purposes to use as many parts of our own in development and production. If Dodge was to have a run of bad microphones, or anything was to go wrong on the factory side it would be very hard for us or our dealers to diagnose if it is a factory microphone issue or an issue with our unit when we do not have the ability to replace it or test it. So as seemingly beneficial using the factory microphone may seem in the big picture of things it offers more struggle then victories in the work to produce a reliable product. We did consider it though.
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.

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.
Michael Jones our actually doesn’t come with a camera. We have a forward facing USB DVR camera but we don’t offer a reverse camera. With that said our system comes with the connections to retain your factory camera.
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.
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??
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?
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

We do indeed have front, rear, and sub RCA outputs.
Can that fit in a 2011 Dodge Ram
Can you install one for the 12” infotainment system in the 2019 Ram?

Yes, you have to use our microphones we are not able to interface to the factory mics.
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 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 would you recommend with it now being 2022 to use on my 2018 ram 2500 SLT? and the cost?
Linkswell Gen V is out now with android v9.
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!
Will I retain my cargo camera with this? Also, I want to be able to add in a trailer camera will this unit support multiple cameras like this?
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.
Any ETA on systems for the 2019 5th gen ram 2500?
William Hillock we have our first working test system that we are testing currently. So if the test go good we should have it available early next year.
Where's sirius? Is there time correction? Is there an eq with sub out or frequency shelving?
Working on building our Sirius tuner. Should start testing in a week or so.
Time correction, are you talking about individual speaker time alignment?
We have a sub out but the control and crossovers are very basic.
@@LinksWellInc I can see this is 10 years old technology at this point.
Is this unit Sirius xm capable
are you able to use the factory microphone built in to the mirror?
Jim Huggins we aren not. Have to use the microphone that comes with our system.
Can these be installed in a 2010 ram?
what would happen if you use the wrong power harness, would it cause a big problem or would it just not work and be able to swap it out
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.
Does this come with apply carplay
i just installed it and
my heated seats and steerin wheel dont work any ideas why they are not working?
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.
Just interrupt the RCA. No need to interrupt the power feed.
@@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.
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.
Do you guys install at your shop, or do you do think a stereo shop can install this unit?
David J we don’t do installs or sell direct to the public. But we have a find a retailer tab on our website that you can use to find a local dealer that can get you the radio and install it for you.
@@LinksWellInc great! Thank you!!
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.
@@LinksWellInc Awesome thank you for the quick reply!
Christopher Baker you are very welcome. We are here if you have any other questions.
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.
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
Do u have too install the dvr? Will the radio work with out it ??
The DVR is a extra part. Not needed at all
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.
I have a 2018 will I still keep my steering wheel and heated seats ?
Yep.
What functionality will I lose on my 2016 ram rebel if I install this unit?
Joe lopez has not features we can’t currently retain are the trailer brake settings, air ride settings and voice controls.
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
Does it work with the factory air ride. I have an air ride menu in my factory 8.4
No. In fact it ruined my air suspension. Had to swap back. Not designed if you have factory air suspension .
will it work on a 2012 larimie longhorn
Unfortunately it will not. Our unit will only go back to the 2013 truck. We do have a universal T-Style that with the use of some 3rd party parts (Install kit and wire harness) would install into your truck. You can see the install video for that system in this video.
ua-cam.com/video/7u0DBZe1DFI/v-deo.html
Hope this helps.
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.
Does this work if you have a 2014 1500 tradesman that does not have a center display? Mine only has the radio display? @
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.
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?
Chad Hynes our system cost $1,095.
@@LinksWellInc where can I purchase your system?
@@cristhianmontes9416 If you want to purchase online, check out www.adcmobile.com
Do you offer this type of screen for the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 & is there a video ?
We do not have one for the 05. Only thing we would have for an 05 would be a universal double din.
Does it have sub out?
What do you offer like this for the 2010 Ram?
J.D Malone we only have the Universal Double Din currently.
so it will be ok to use in a 2018 ram 1500 tradesman right ?
Yep.
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.
Hey there, I am the guy who made the video of the 1st gen. I would like to try this 2nd gen. Can you please message me? I have my email in the about page here on YT. Thanks
Hi, where are you located?
@@bamboobob4489 We are located in Riverside, Ca
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.
How is the eq done if i chose to go aftermarket amps and sub
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.
So I’m safe to assume this will work with a 2016-2017 ram 1500 express
Felton Johnson Express? As in the van?
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.
I like that radio who makes it for you
We manufacturer the units ourselves.
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.
Is there one for iPhones, up here in Canada?
Our radios work with iPhones
Does the factory mic work with this radio?
No. Have to use the mic we supply with the radio.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
when are you going to drop the GEN 3 for the Ram? will my sirius work with this unit?
Dominick Bucciarelli GEN 3 and GEN 4 should release sometime around the end of the year.
As for Sirius, we have been working with them on developing our interface but their process of development is about 18 months long so our GEN 4 systems will come ready but the app won’t work until Sirius approves it.
I have a 2014 ram 1500. Will it work? And where can I purchase?
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/
Does the front Dash cam still come with the radio or is it sold separately ?
Skinner J Photos they are sold Separately now. The new tariffs hit us so we had to shift things to keep the price as low as we could.
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
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.
How much to do this to a 2019 ram 1500 lonestar? Labor and all.
Well it would depend on which 2019 it is. If it has the new 2019 interior we don't have a system to work for that application yet. If its a 2019 classic with the 2018 interior our system MSRP starts off at $1,095.
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.
Any update on stalkier radio compatibility?? Does this have apple car play
anything simmular for a 2010 dodge ram ?
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.

Yep! We have a video here showing it off.
can you add amplifiers for subwoofers and door speakers?

It’s the same as all other aftermarket radios built in amplifiers.
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.

Thankyou very much for getting back to me so quickly! Ill keep my eye out for the videos! Thankyou!
How come this doesn’t use the OEM microphone with the factory radio with hands free driving? Would make more sense and save a couple of steps.
There are a few reason as to why. One is not all microphones are created equal. When you are working with a Bluetooth chip and system that is not specifically Dodge or Ford or Toyota, or etc. the microphones don't always work well with a foreign Bluetooth system. Another is when removing different pieces of the factory systems it renders other parts unworkable. You also have the fact that in product development of aftermarket equipment it is a lot of times better for quality control and for warranty purposes to use as many parts of our own in development and production. If Dodge was to have a run of bad microphones, or anything was to go wrong on the factory side it would be very hard for us or our dealers to diagnose if it is a factory microphone issue or an issue with our unit when we do not have the ability to replace it or test it. So as seemingly beneficial using the factory microphone may seem in the big picture of things it offers more struggle then victories in the work to produce a reliable product. We did consider it though.
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.
I have one of these systems and I cannot get their AC controls to work can you help
Is it a GEN 2? Or a GEN 4?
Will there be a Gen 3 soon or no?
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.

We have an IQ Radio application for the 2012. You can see some videos on our channel or our Instagram
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.
I have a 2011 ram is it one for it
Only unit we can offer for the 2011 would be our universal Double Din Unit.
ua-cam.com/video/cNhbxy8bBy4/v-deo.html
Does this have apple care play?
We have our PhoneLink which works like CarPlay and Android Auto
I have a 2018 1500 Big Horn. Do I need to use the camera that comes with it or can I use the Factory cam?
Michael Jones our actually doesn’t come with a camera. We have a forward facing USB DVR camera but we don’t offer a reverse camera.
With that said our system comes with the connections to retain your factory camera.
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.
Can this be install in 2019 ram 2500
Ricardo Galvan not the new body style. But the 2019 Classic it will.
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?
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.
Is this compatible with a 2016 Dodge Ram 3500?
Yes it will
Perfect and does it have apple CarPlay?
Fernando Lancon it has an App that works like Apple CarPlay. The only feature it doesn’t support is “Pinch To Zoom” for the navigation.
