- In this installation video we show how to install our new Generation II T-Style radio into a new Ford F150.
** AS OF APRIL 2019 THE USB DVR CAMERA IS NO LONGER INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE, IT CAN BE PURCHSED ALONG WITH THE T-STYLE RADIO FOR AN ADDITIONAL COST**
This system will work on
2015-2019 F150
2017-2019 F250/350/450.
* Please excuse the constant camera refocus, Got a new fancy camera and still learning how to use it.*
Tip: When removing the center channel grille, be sure to get your pry tool all the way under the grille panel. The metal grille stops right at the edge, so if you try to pop it off using the metal grille itself, it will just bend and likely won't be 100% repairable.
CAN YOU MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO FOR THIS INSTALLATION,BECAUSE THE INSTALLATION CABLES CAN'T BEEN SHOW CLEARLY
It looks really slow when you select options on the screen . It does look amazing tho would love to have one just not sure I'm ready to pull apart my truck with only 9000 kms
Dear Admin, do you sell the connector that attaches to the harness at the rear of the 4" display unit, that supports the stock rearview camera, for the 2016 Ford Edge. I recently bought an aftermarket Android Head Unit, although plug n play, no wiring was supplied for the stock rearview camera
Bonjour, j'adore votre système, pour mon F150 platinum 2015, je vais vous appeler de la Guyane française pour poser quelques questions, et ensuite vous le commander, en tout cas, bravo pour ce chef d'oeuvre .
Great video. I plan on picking this kit up for my 2015 in the future once the holidays are finished killing my fun-money finances. Is there any way to customize the UI of the system such as interface color (I like my current red themed everything) and a way to change the start-up backgrounds? I just like the option of changings things as often as my mind does.
Glad you enjoyed the video! And even happier to hear you are considering purchasing a unit for your truck!
Currently the only things we can change is the boot up image. With having overlay screens its not as simple as just changing a background images or icon colors. I know this question is one that gets asked a lot so we may be able to offer something in the near future but nothing currently.

Looks Better than 2019 Chevy Silverado Screen
Do they make this for the 2015 ford Taurus with the 8 inch Sony head unit? Aldo do you keep the heated steering wheel option?
Same intro music as Sailrite sewing machines. LOL. I use one for upholstery.
Can you please make a video for gen 4 , more clear about wiring step by step please 🙏
I have a 2015 F-150 with the small screen will it still work
Can I install this in my 2019 Ford F-250 lariat?
Love mine. You can get 50 of the orange clips for $5 on Amazon in case you break one
I have a gen 3 for my 2015 Silverado, has worked great for me so far. However is it possible to upgrade storage space or is it possible to store and run applications off of an external hard drive?
Jesus Batista you cannt run apps off the external hard drive but you can use a superset hard drive for memory of movies, music and files.
Did you finally get your tuner issue fixed? I can't believe that I spent $1,100 on a unit that you guys shipped out to me knowing you had an issue with the tuner. Mine worked about a week before the tuner died. This shows how much Linkswell cares about it's customers.
Very sorry to hear you feel this way. We didn't send out units knowingly that they would fail. We really strive to take care of our customers as best as we can.
We had an influx of tuner failures that all came in a relatively short time (About 3-4 weeks). We had units that were a week old, others that were 9+ months old. There was no common line in production time.
We then went through our entire production line to try and find a flaw in production, but we weren't able to find any production issues either.
We went through our software over and over again to see if it was a software issue, to find no problem there as well.
We asked questions with our customers to see if we could find a common thread in how the system was being used, or if there was a common thread in outside forces, like vehicle trim, or different electronics in the vehicle. To find no common thread there either.
Our Engineers all stopped all work on other projects to figure out what was happening with these tuners. We reached out to our supplier for the tuners daily looking for answers and no one was able to explain what was happening.
A month later we still do not know what caused these tuners to fail, nor do we know why it was that about only 10% did. The only common thread was the tuners themselves. So all we could do at that point is change our source and purchase a different tuner. Which is what we did. Our lead engineer spent 3 weeks replacing the tuners in all our stock and our factory is now producing new systems with the new tuner.
Once again we are very sorry that you were effected by this issue. We hope to earn your respect back in how we rectify the situation.
Will this work with the B&O sound system ? I bought a GeN 1 and am stuck with it because it does not support the B&O system.
So sorry to hear that. The B&O system is a digital system that requires an extra interface and harness. It took us a little but we now have a B&O interface now that will work for the GEN 2. Unfortunately we cant support the same for GEN 1 due to the limits of the CAN BUS interface on the GEN 1.
17:00 I love how he looks at the camera as if it were facing him, heh
A trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Nikolas Alfredo yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
Installing a sound system in my truck with this radio. Question is where do i hook up my blue remote wire on the radio side?
Guillermo Jr find the orange wire on our main power plug that is 1 pin in from the corner. That should be a remote turn on.
Splice into that wire close to the side of the plug that plugs into our radio.
Do you got one to fit a 2011 Ford Expedition le
Do you have a video on how to install the mic
Question why after installing everything if I try to make a call the other person can’t hear me only on my phone but thats in the truck
Q: when I install the flat screen radio underneath that is my old AC knobs can that be replaced too as well make it all flow I'll make it All Digital... Did that make any sense...
Righteous One our vehicle specific systems replace the climate controls and you control them from the touch screen.
If my truck does not have factory GPS. Do I still need to run the gps cable. Does it affect anything else like the time?
Ray Gomez the GPS cable is needed for both the built in Nav and the Data based Navs. So it is needed.
I have this exact Gen 2 in my 2017 F150. Absolutely love the thing!!
#Linkswellinc
Did you lose sync functions?
Dennis Braun What functions are you concerned about losing specifically?
The sync functions in general using steering wheel button using navigation via sync etc and Sirius satellite as well...
@@fx4den540 Steering wheel functions still work with this product. My navigation is now 12.1 full screen in the provider I choose to load up. You have the ability to load apps directly onto the unit. I have Google maps loaded, multiple nav apps, weather channel, etc. As far as music, I did lose sirius..However I now have Pandora, Spotify, etc as well as tons of fm radio presets. It also has a 4 channel amp built in, so my stock speakers (to be upgraded next) now sound better as well.
@@robertb2995 sounds like a fair trade off... keep me updated...where did you have it done..or did you do urself.... it does seem fairly easy
Since this radio doesn't work with the ford sync and no satellite radio , so will this radio work with the factory restart which depending on the temps outside . will this turn on my heat or cool for seats or the heated steering wheel or the heat a/c in cabe of truck.
We have not tested the "Restart" feature, so we cant say for sure about an automatic vehicle restart.
We are able to do 90% of the factory remote start features. We can control both the heated and cooled seats as well as the heated steering wheel.
I have a Gen II and the audio has stopped working on it. Everything else seems fine except the audio output. It made a ticking sound then just stopped. I checked all the connections and everything seems OK. Amy suggestions please.
any chance you guys will be making a carbon fiber bezel to match the raptor carbon fiber trim option?
Dave Flores no sir. To small of a margin of vehicles with it to change the production for. Though with all the vinyl wraps available now I am sure you could find a shop that could wrap it for you.
A few tips I’ve figured out. You can’t have Bluetooth on if you’re using Apple CarPlay otherwise you get no sound from Apple car play. If you was a different boot image forget using a USB. Just email the image to yourself then open it with the email app you use on the head unit and you can download it from there. When installing check for function prior to tucking in all the wiring and bolting in the unit (glad I did this as I had a loose plug and it didn’t work at first). It’s kind of a pain to get it to connect to a hotspot but if you have it plugged into a USB it’s way easier (not sure why) and finally if you decide to sell the unit delete all your stuff on it. I bought one used and still had their Netflix HBO Amazon video and hulu plus an None password protected Amazon app. All of which still has valid billing info I think. I did delete everything
thank you!!!
I need help with my Mic I cant make a phone call and talk i can call but they cant hear me ???/
Do you make one for a 2014 f150 Lariat that hast he wood grain trim?
We are sorry but we do not. Our system will only work on the 2015 and up currently.
How hard is it to install a SiriusXM connection? My current truck has it is there something additional needed.
J. Rulison Photography we are still in the production process with XMSirius to give us the ability to control a tuner. Currently the only way to do sat radio is using the app.
Hello. Do you have a video like this for the Gen 4? Thanks!
Not yet, but the install is 99% the same. Only difference is the USB plugs and the fact that GEN 4 has HDMI in and out.
What is the time frame for the public to lnow when the system will work with the ford sync program?
We aren't doing any work on designing a system to retain the factory SYNC system.
Thanks
2017 can I retain the heated steering wheel in climate settings ?
Donnie Keith yep!
I have a 2016 Fusion Energi. It has all the PHEV programming built into the MyFord Touch system. Is this same programming/information and crontrols available in this system?
Jeremy A. We don’t have a system for the Fusion so we haven’t done any work to retain the PHEV settings.
@@LinksWellInc Sorry, I think I confused you with Rhino Radios, who's products and vehicle applications are nearly identical.
I have the gen2, can you get the home screen like on the Gen1 for the gen2?
Norman Ford not currently, no. There are many conversations happening about offering different UI options but nothing is currently available.
I have an 06 f150 king ranch crew cab truck and I am wanting to know if there's a set up I can get for my truck?
Louis Koerner only set up we have that would work in the 06 is our Universal Double Din 10.1”. Does all the same stuff except the climate control interface.
To install you would just need the installation kit and harness adaptors for your truck and it would install like an industry standard double Din radio.
This link will take you to our website page that shows the radio.

Nice video any chance we could use that OS on the version one systems?
Unfortunately no. We did hardware changes which wont cross over.
Does the ac come back on if the truck is turned off and later cranked or will I have to manually turn it back on?
Charles Gordon it will restart where it was left at when you turned off the truck just like the factory set up.
Just curious, but why would you even include the 3 wires on the camera harness if they're never going to be connected?
socaliguy81 they are no longer part of the harness. They were used on different application on earlier versions. We have since changed our manufacturing on them.
Is there not an option available for Chevy/GMC trucks yet?
Victor Gonzalez we are in the finale rounds of testing and are hoping to release the GMC/Chevy System the end of the month!
Keep an eye out here and our Social Media’s for the announcement.
Is there any replacement for the gen 12 f150s(09-14) these gen trucks have a dated system with no direct aftermarket replacement
UploaderNine we are working on one. There is actually a big slip in electronics at 2012 which is making this harder on us. But we are working on it.
Looks awesome, how well does it work?
Adnan Medic it works great!
Will it work for a 2014 f150?
I have been doing research on this product and like what I see. Unfortunately, I have read where these units are not Sirius Satellite Radio compatible. Has this changed or is there a plan to change this?
We have been working on developing a Sirius tuner, and are waiting on Sirius to approve us. We are stuck until they decide they want to sell us the remaining lock files we need to make the tuner work unfortunately, it is now out of our hands and we just have to wait.
In the meantime the Sirius app works in our CarPlay/Android Auto app or you can use a hotspot and install the Sirius app to the system and run it through the tablet itself.
LinksWell Inc. That’s encouraging! But if I was to order it now, have it installed, would I have to do a hardware update and a second installation once you are approved for SiriusXM radio?
I have also checked in my area, the San Francisco Bay Area and I have yet to find anyone who does these installations. I may end up having to come down to your facility in Walnut to get this installed. I have absolutely no talent for this type of work!😩😩😩
@@CJS309 If we can get our design approved there will be a separate tuner needed to that will have to be installed and plugged into the USB of the system.
As for our location we are actually located in Southern California in Ranch Cucamonga. But I know we have some dealers up in the bay area when you are ready we can get you hooked up with one.
LinksWell Inc. Sounds good! I’ll look forward to hearing when you get the satellite capability!
How to Activate or turn on the back camera ? does it require cabels or just some changes in the settings ? also it it possiable for you to make a vid on it please
The camera should work automatically through the CanBus.
I got a 2017 f250 without the 4” screen nor steering wheel controls. Will it work for mine?
Not currently, we are working on getting the solution for the different climate controls on that truck.
Hi sir, I live in Dubai, do you have a unit for F150 XLT 2014?
If yes, how can I buy it from you?
We do not have one for the 2014. Our system starts at the 2015.
You live in Dubai and have a 2014 only don't they have exotic cars in junk yards?
If you have a 2013 f150 with Sony duel climate control and air conditioned seats will this system work for it?
This one no. This is only for tge 15-20.
We have a different system for the 13-14 F-150
What if you have the built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot on your F150 Does this still work do you lose the hotspot feature
The hotspot will stay, but the accessing the info and passwords is no longer available. We have no way of getting that info onto our screen.
So l lose sync,l lose Sirius xm,l lose my CD player ,l get an old OS ,don't know if blis works,starting to question if it's worth it
That what I thought too. It's over 1k but it canceled a lot of things. Like CD player, they still have space under the screen to leave it in.
Do you have a plan to integrate the factory microphones into the system?
Luis P. Not currently. Integrating the factory mics offers up some issues, one of which is quality control on our side. It has been talked about but as it sits right now it’s not on the to do list.
@@LinksWellInc Thanks for the reply.
Does this unit function with massage seats on my 2015 F150 platinum?
Nevermind i just read the link that ADC posted on Augustine Lopez post and it does:) Now i am seriously considering buying this for my truck!!!!!
@@rongonz86 Hi Ronnie, I have a 2015 platinum and I'm considering buying this. Did you buy it? what are your thoughts on it?
@@johnellis5530 Hey John, i havent bought this one yet because i am waiting on more reviews on another style of 12.1 touch screen where it maintains the climate control knobs underneath the big screen. Here is a video showing the different style i am debating. ua-cam.com/video/6LfhzNR0kww/v-deo.html
Where Can I go to get this professionally installed? In Atlanta
Same question
Need to make a kit for 2009 F-150!!!!!
I have a question. I have Ford F-150 2015 Lo heat/cool controls. They are manual with no auto function. Will this upgrade give me auto function for the heat/ac?
No. There are a lot of extra parts needed to make Auto Work
Do you sell directly or only manufacture... live in NJ looking to purchase
We do not sell direct. If you check out our website there is a find a retailer tab that will list the dealers we have in your area. www.linkswellinc.com

Can I still remote start in my 2017 raptor?
Tyler Hoven yep!
When can we expect the gen 3?
GEN 3 for the Ford isn't in the works as of now.
What kind of sd card goes in the dvr camera?
Guillermo Jr just a standard mini SD 32GB or smaller.
Can’t use my factory GPS and usb may lose voltage that alone will make me pass I’ll wait till technically get better
Will the hen two work on a 13 lariat
Keith Cage unfortunately no. Our system works on 2015 and up.
Where can i get it ? I have ford f150 xlt 2015 , 4in screen … would it work?
It would work yes! You can purchase from any of our Authorized Dealers.
To find one check out our website.
Nice concept, but as much as this is a plug and play, I’m looking for something that uses the factory ant and mic. Until this is more a compatible system with the factory pieces, I’m not interested. I hope R&D is able to work these issues out with Gen 3, I was in email comma with a customer service rep and he completely blew me off in my feedback where I had asked for additional simple capability features that would really take this product to the next level
So sorry about the customer service ball drop.
When it comes to the R&D for each system its hard because when the rubber meets the road we are an aftermarket radio just like any other aftermarket radio. Where we strive to retain as much of the factory components and functions as possible sometimes the amount of cost and work it takes to retain a factory component don't add up. An example would be the factory mic and the factory antenna. We are setting out to produce many more units for many different car makes and models. In that Ford's Mics and antennas will be different them GM or Dodge and so on. So with components like a Microphone or Antenna it makes the most sense with R&D time and money to use a universal application that will work across every unit we design. The antenna we use can be mounted under the dash so there is no visible change to the vehicle appearance with that. With the microphone it just falls on the nature of aftermarket radio.
All that to say we very much appreciate input, we do want to design and build a unit that the majority want so please continue to offer ideas and if we can make it happen we will.
@@LinksWellInc I totally understand that sometimes there is no obvious work around. So then the next question is are the efforts to just get products out I to the hands of the customers or develop a well rounded product to where post efforts are developed towards post consumer expandability. I would off to say that consumers like myself look at the claim of factory appearance and then there is an odd and somewhat obtrusive mic somewhere in the headliner. Which in all appearances is an after thought solution. I would rather spend money on a complete product that truely is plug and play with options for expansion such as external microprocessors or integration if aftermarket light switching systems. With manufactures designing vehicles now that are much easier to modify, the days of having to splice in components are over and with the wiring and programming information readily avail (Ford's openxc), it really appears that if a little more time is spent on doing it right the first time, the quality product will Garner better profits in the long run. You can make everyone happy, but more appeal will come from a complete package solution versus extra components needing to used.
Not trying to be difficult, just would rather pay a few bucks more for a well researched product on the market with an extremely clean install. I'd pay more for other expantion options for such a system. Again, great concept that has huge potential, that at the minute is marginally ahead of the competition. Albeit four weeks have passed since our postings and at the moment, i hadn't heard back from customer service department.
@@ericjohnston3167 again we appreciate your input, we do truly want to build the best product we can.
There are 2 forces in play with product development as a whole. One is how advanced can we create the system, the other is how much will the end product cost and will it be something that a customer is willing to pay for. We are fighting for sales in a very hard market. With other companies building systems that are very similar to ours, with these companies doing less R&D work they can sell for much less. You also have the major brands in the industry and trying to make a product that can compete against the big brands is difficult as well. It is a delicate dance between it all
Cost vs Features.
Demand Vs Supply.
So that is one side of the fight. The other side is when you are interfacing with the factory CANBUS system, you are correct the opportunity for expansion is there, but so is the opportunity for issues. When the factory can re-flash and reprogram the vehicle the next time you take your car in for service it opens up the flood gate for issues to arise with our products. We have experienced this numerous times on our interfaces. We build a system and it interfaces with the vehicle perfectly, then a factory update rolls out from the manufacturer and it renders our systems glitchy, dead or worse it causes issue in the vehicle itself. We always figure the fix out, but it can at times leave a customer with a stuck system until we get it fixed. So when you depend so heavily on the factory equipment, you really are placing hope that what ever updates the factories do, it wont effect the way you interface with the factory equipment. So its not a lack of thought behind product development, but it truly comes from wanting to be sure we build a system that is as reliable to the end user as possible. Using products that we control helps prevent interface issues from arising, issues that we cant do anything to prevent, but issues that could ruin the customers experience with our products.
All that to say, we are always looking to make the next Generation better, and we do it taking into considerations all possible situations. Specifically with the Ford we have been looking into more factory equipment interfacing, including SYNC, Mics and more. But we are not confident as of yet that it will prove reliable for the long term.
On the personal not, with the lack of response from Customer Service, once again so sorry for the ball drop, that was due to a staffing situation over the last 2 months in our office and we are getting that worked out. In the meantime you can email our tech at
linkswelltech@linkswellinc.com
and he will be able to answer any questions you may have.
What if you have an aftermarket camera system with sides, front and rear cameras? I have the rostra 250-8455.
How does the Rostra system send the video signal out? Is it a single RCA?
LinksWell Inc. Multiple RCAs but it connects into the APIM of the Sync 3
@@obediahanderson788 Any chance you can send pictures to our tech? He would be able to figure out the possibility. Send them to linkswelltech@linkswellinc.com
Can you show how to hook up aftermarket cameras to the radio if you have front , side, and rear? Thanks.
I bought a gen 4, on eBay and come with can bus for the super duty, I have a f150 2018, I found here a canbus can fit on the plug, after installation ac, 360 camera, wheel controller are working perfectly, but when I play some audio only the little central speaker sound, no other speaker sound, can please help me to fix it
You probably have the B&O audio system that needs a special adapter.
Can I retain the massaging features for the front seats on a King Ranch?
410ytlmustang yep! We have an app to control the seat functions.
LinksWell Inc. will it still work if you push the button on the seat?
Is the install the same for the Gen IV? I'm thinking of getting one for my truck.
Mohab Al-Hinai 99% yes. GEN 4 has a little different USB plug.
@@LinksWellInc Thanks. Would be nice if you make a short video just highlighting the difference. Looking forward to installing it in my truck.
What happens if the tablet fails? How would I turn the AC on during a hot day?
Lee davis well the idea is that wouldn’t happen. We are however looking into adding some physical button for this and other reasons. Our GM system has physical buttons and we got such a big response on that we are working on adding them on other systems as well.
Hi, I have a quick question. Can I adjust the outside temperature? It shows 107 but actually we have 97. I understand that the temperature comes from the vehicle, but the screen shows the wrong temperature. It's 78 outside, but it shows 90. When I had the original screen, I didn't have this issue. The same issue is with HVAC temperature settings. It doesn't show the correct temperature. Kindly advise.
That is actually something we will have to have our software engineers look into. So we are looking like its a 10 degree off reading?
@@LinksWellInc no, the gap can be different. For instance, the current outside temperature is 91, but the display shows 107.
Russell Razhko could you send me an email at jon@linkswellinc.com? Then I can forward all the concerns to my software team and have them analyze what is happening.
Do you have a recommendation for the 04 f15
King Jamar-X we are working on a 13” rotating double Din radio that may work
Hi, I have a problem when I installed the screen after a week, the seat heater became operational even if the car is floating and within 6 hours the car battery is empty and I cannot start it again .... Is there a way to avoid this problem ... Thank you
abusami abusami that should happen. Where did you purchase the radio? Have you reached out to our tech support? 909 375 0633
I would love to have this in my 2008 Expedition. Will it fit?
djscott119 not yet, we have to rebuild the a new AC board to accommodate the rear ac
Is there a model that will work for a long 2011 f150 xlt.
Peg Leg you can install our universal 10.1” Double Din T-Style in that truck with the use of a 3rd party install kit and wire harness.
Hi, since this requires connecting to obd2 port does this mean the truck cannot be deleted and tuned later?
Average Golfer we do not connect to the OBD II itself with our Generation II systems. We are in the CanBus to gather data, but the OBD itself remains open for your tuner.
Do you have the SiriusXM antenna??
Klownguy22 SiriusXM requires more than just an antenna. Currently we do not have the ability to control a SiriusXM tuner, though we are in the process of getting approved by SiriusXM to add this option. The process is at least a 12 month process and so the option is not one that will be available in the near future.
Do you not have this system available for a 2013 F150 with navigation and auto AC?
Cajun Jim unfortunately not. Our system fits the 2015 up.
Weak... 2011 f150 here.
Drifting Abstract we have a universal Double Din that puts a 10.1” in using the standard double din installation parts. Like install kit and harness.
Has the startup time improved? By how much?
Improved from the GEN 1? Not really. The GEN 2 platform runs the same Android platform which is what dictates how quick it can boot up. It does it with a faster processor and much better CANBUS interfacing for the car. As well as a huge upgrade to the climate control interfacing as well. Takes away the need to disassemble the factory climate control for factory parts top swap over, and we redesigned the bezel to accommodate 3 switches across the top for the higher trim level trucks.
Our GEN 3 platform offers a "Sleep" mode which gives a quick boot up if its restarted within 16 hours of shut down. But we haven't decided if we will build the F150 (or other vehicle applications we currently have on the GEN 2 platform) on the GEN 3 platform. We may jump to a GEN 4 for all applications. With GEN 4 the sleep timer leaves, due to a higher Android platform, but the boot up time we hope to get down to around 10 seconds.
Boot up time is tough, even our cell phones take a bit to fully boot up from a complete shut down and our radios run on the same style platform. Just part of what happens when building on Android platforms, it functions different then a standard radio platform, good and bad, its a computer so needs to boot up, but because its Android you get the Google Play store and all that Android has to offer.
But we promise we are working hard on making our units the best they can possibly be.
LinksWell Inc. Thanks
Would this work with the older 04/08 ford f150 models
Adam pen this unit won’t. We are beginning the development process to go back a generation in the Ford. But it is months away. But for 2004-2008 I think that one could use one of our Universal 10.1” Double Din T-Styles
@@LinksWellInc ok awesome I gotta take a look into your web site for that .. but anyways thanks for the reply and cant wait to get this system into my truck ;)
I have a 15 F-150 with the small screen will work ?
Yes it will.
Makes me on m want one for my 16 but idk not sold on it yet
Do you have any questions we can answer?
what is a good link for the carplay thanks
Louis Greenberg you can download the CarPlay app off of our website. But it won’t work unless you have one of our USB dongles to go with it.
No model for the 2013 F150 xlt ?
same here except 13 lariat
I accidentally deleted the zlink file. I have an app, but I can't use it due to an error. Is there a way
This thing do video out? Could i connect it to my headrest screens?
The GEN 2 does not support a video out. We are working to see if we can add it to the GEN 3
LinksWell Inc. when do you think the GEN 3’s will be coming out??
S.HERVEY617 not sure. Probably end of Summer time maybe.
Do you make installation?
We do not but we can connect you to one of our dealers who can.
I need one for the 2013 SVT Raptor.
Nate Private still working out the electronics for the previous generation trucks.
When will your product work with sirius/xm
SiriusXM is proprietary and you have to control their tuner and go through their development process. We have been working through this development process for about 3 years now. I posted an update video last month that we are really close. Generation 5 has all the parts needed physically so once SiriusXM approves our interface our Gen 5 radios will get an update to activate the components to run their tuner. I can’t give any more specific timeline because we have no control of it. It’s 100% in SiriusXM’s hands.
Where can I buy this ??
You can use the find a retailer tab on our website to find the closest dealer.

bertraminc the UI was designed to look like a factory UI, we have added color though in our GEN 4 UI... still keeping with the same Factory look though.
LinksWell Inc. is this iOS or some other operating pad system?
bertraminc it’s an Android Tablet that we have fitted and build a radio and climate control board around. Using the Android platform to build our running system on.
hello friends I have one in my Ford f150 2015 I do not know how to connect my steering wheel control can you tell me that I should buy or why it does not work for me
They should work via CanBus. No need to connect them. They will work in the programming.
I have this in my 2018 f150 and it's a little frustrating because I listen to music through the bluetooth and it constantly cycles through aux and video mode interrupting the music playback. Any fix for that?
Joe sounds like it might need a MCU and APP update? Could be the steering wheel control protocol that is acting up. Have you contacted our Tech Support team and walked through any updates?
@@LinksWellIncyou have a tech support number??? Please share?!
@@karenkatz3728 we are a B to B (Business to Business) manufacturer. We don’t sell to the direct public because we can not service all end users, so your tech support should come from your dealer and if your dealer needs tech support they come to us.
Would this work on a 2010 F250 Lariat? or do you have plans to make a unit for it?
Randall Short this system won’t go that far back. We have a universal Double Din 10.1” that you could install with the use of a 3rd party install kit and harness.
What the differenece between your guys version and other companies version oit suh as Phoenix Android Radios???
Well we do not know all the specs of the other companies product. We also do not want to build our name up by stepping on the name of others. All we can tell you is the feed back that we have received from customers, but to boil it down simply, we are based in the US. So we ship from, test in and do our product development here. Giving us an advantage in how well we can service our customers and be sure our products work the best. Most the other companies do all their R&D over seas and ship from over seas. Which means you do not have live customer, or technical support and you have about a 6 week turn around on delivery.
We also offer features they do not, one of which will be our new factory Ford 360 Camera full function retention interface set to release this month. We also are able to retain things like factory remote start and other features. Our CANBUS system allows us to do more then most of the other companies out there.
We are confident that our products are top notch, that our customer support is one of the best and that our product development and software teams are among the best in the industry.
@@LinksWellInc one more question, do you guys have a version which will still get the factory ac knobs and buttons while still having the tablet? I would love to have the tablet in the car but i would also like to keep the factort ac controls and buttons at the same time.
@@IntentGohanWe do not. All of our units are strictly touch screen.
Does it or can it be installed : Google chrome browser and Google maps ? Thanks.
Billy Murray it has both Google Chrome and Google Maps. As well as the Google Play Store so you can download more apps.
@@LinksWellInc Thanks for the QR
How do you get the Raptor photo on the screen?
Are you referring to the boot up image?
If I replace my radio with this will it affect how my speakers sound?
Bashii it shouldn’t.
@@LinksWellInc Not a very confident answer. The built-in DSP function for Driver listening position changes the sound drastically. Does it even have center channel power?
Is there a kit for 2008 f-150
We don't have a kit for the 08.
We have a Universal 10.1" Double Din that would fit with the use of a few 3rd party install parts.
I have the2018 f150 platinum would my massaging seat features work for this upgrade,?
Yes indeed it will.
Do u make those for2010 f150s?
Jesus Salinas not yet. We are working on one, but it’s not done yet.
