  1. That recall is something different. It pertains to the steering being difficult at low speeds. This ground issue is another all together.
  2. Wouldn't it have been easier to buy an antenna for the proper year with the right connector. Mine went bad & that's what I did, no issues at all it just worked. It only takes about 20-30 minutes to swap it out.
  3. I'm not sure you tried this stuff yet, but if I were you I would check out the Phoenix YouTube channel. They have videos that can help with everyone of these steps I would take. 1. Verify you do in fact have 7.1 installed, just cause it says it doesn't mean it is. Some of these Chinese manufacturers have been know to spoof the specs on the units. 2. Do the PX3 update, I've seen in many places that after the update parameter 7 should be selected. 3.Verify you have the right vehicle selected. There are many setups in our trucks and some have auto ac some don't, some have steering wheel controls some don't etc. This will make sure your ac settings are what they should be. Also I think when these units were setup fir the 14-18 trucks they did it with the vehicles that have the radio controls on the steering wheel and the the color display in the gauge cluster in mind. Having these options is really helpful for making sure the right output is selected sometimes. If step 3 isn't done right the android tablet may not have some of the controls displayed or programmed properly. Like I said if you already did this stuff sorry wasting you time. I just got google voice working today, so far so good. Fingers crossed it doesn't get slow. No I haven't checked out XDA Developers yet, I will. What did you search for to find the threads about these units. One thing I wish could be done is hide the icon bar at the top. With the Agama launcher I don't need it and on some apps it blocks the top part of the screen like Pandora where I can't access the top bar for searching and settings. Another thing that would be nice is like you mentioned having the NAV apps interrupt the actual radio like my phone does over Bluetooth. I was able to fix my wifi issue I think, thanks to you. Mine was not set to 48 hours it was the lowest one (can't remember what that is now though). I changed it and it seems to be functioning right now. If yours is soooo slow maybe try a factory reset and start over without installing the launchers you don't use.
  4. Thanks for letting me know what launcher that was.What version is the google maps are you running? Mine came updated to a version that has the HUGE green bar. If yours doesn't have the green bar I'll install it and not let it auto update. The issues I had with Waze was no audio commands ( I fixed this somehow) and now the audio player won't connect to TuneIn Radio, iHeartRadio, and Pandora, but I thin k it's an issue Waze needs to correct in an update. I think (but I'm not sure) it came marked as a Phoenix product. It is a fast boot version with 7.1 on it. I did do the update for it that phoenix had posted in their drop box account. They have a video on their YouTube channel that explains it and posts a link to the file. I've heard that some launchers cause them to slow waaayyy down, so maybe that's the issue? Mine came with the original screen portion way to the right but the touch wasn't offset with it. I had to adjust the parameters on mine and 7 works perfectly. I believe my truck came with I06. It had the 8" screen that has Bluetooth and factory NAV since it's a loaded SLT. The only other issue I have is, in order for it to connect to WiFi I need to go to the WiFi settings page then it connects to my phones hotspot, but it won't automatically connect until I do that. These radios are clearly not a simply plug it in and go kinda thing, they require some setup and work.
  5. How did you get this on the screen? I just installed one of these in my truck and I like that launcher. Also do you use waze? If so have you been having trouble with it at all on ur unit?
