I'm so glad I came across your channel. I was prepared to pay $1,700 for a lesser screen with professional installation. I can do this myself, retain sync 3 for $1,100! You're the man. Earned my sub and like.
Glad I could help!
Thats until the sync3 module fries on you and has to be replaced . Its actually fairly common among other parts of the sync3 system going bad. If I said it was reliable I'd be lying to you. Unless your omly looking to keep the truck for a few years then trade it in for a new one. On top of that the firmware is buggy as well. Andriod carplay is actually significantly better.
@@JoshSmith-wo7zw Seek Right and Power button down 3 seconds... Pretty much once a month in my 2018 F150 lol.
Nice video! Did you install the external mic? Or does it use the OEM mic?
Fantastic video! What is the link to the stereo company?
I just bought an apple Carplay , top of the dash 10"unit,
Apple & Android for my Nissan Van. Got it online @ Walmart.
This has got to be the best tutorial video I’ve seen. Superb explanation and video quality!! Thank you for taking the time to produce this video!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Just Ordered
mine this morning ,, how long did it take to receive it ?
@@DeaninItYourself If your vehicle has sync but not CarPlay does this give you the CarPlay view or will it only operate with the system the truck comes with from factory?
I really appreciate that you took so much time to create such a high quality installation video. Truly helpful and sold me on this display!
Excellent, excellent tutorial. I purchased this unit and have been looking for a good installation video. There are a few out there, but yours is the best and most detailed covering all of the questions that I had. Now I can dive into installing it with confidence.
Glad it helped
This video shold be the reference for all tutorials. Great Detail and it actually gives me confidence to do this without trouble
thank you
Of all the tesla style units I have seen, this is the first one that I think I would actually buy. My biggest reason I have held off is until now, I would loose my Sirius. I'm going to add this unit to my Christmas list.
Just installed on a F600 using this video as my only instructions. Works great with Android Auto. As someone mentioned earlier, if you have manual HVAC, make sure the you keep the little gears aligned or you'll either lose your Max AC or Mac Defrost setting. I had to do it twice to fix that.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks to you I purchased and install mine. You did an excellent job with your videos and explaining the steps. My wife thinks you are Jamaican, I told her maybe but you are definitely from the Caribbean.
I am Jamaican.
I wish I found this video before I went and bought the linkswell unit for my 19 f250. This looks like a much better system with a cleaner install/wiring. Thank you for this glorious video.
I’ve been looking at the new links well XL.. Is that the one you have, and what don’t you care for about it?
Thankyou for making this video! Bought mine a week ago and your video was very helpful getting this thing installed! Appreciate you!
Whats the link?
i don't even have a ford truck but i found this video to be extremely enjoyable to watch!
Thank you so much
Great video. Incredibly informative and appreciate the patience to go step by step. You’ve earned a new subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
I just ordered mine 7/25..I can't wait for it to get here...
Did you get it? How do you like it?
Thank you for taking the time to set up your cameras to get all the shots. Exceptional video sir. Appreciate your work.
My pleasure!
You did a great job installing it just the help I needed to install mine that just came in today ! Again Thank you so much for the help 😊
Anytime
The fact that it retains the factory Sync is the coolest thing I have ever seen. This is an awesome unit.
yes that was the selling point for me
If my system is Sync1, can it upgrade my Sync?
This has to be one of the coolest plug n play upgrade units I've ever seen. Does it work with the FX2 package descent controls???
Except that sync3 is unreliable as all hell.
@@JoshSmith-wo7zwmy 2015 F150 Lariat is a sync 2 is will I have issues if I purchase and install this radio?
I upgraded to this setup from the stock 2 inch sync system it it’s by far the best upgrade you can do to your truck
I don't even own an F150 but i watched your video 😊. Your good at doing step by step instructions. The new screen looks awesome 👌
Thanks 👍
I pick up my truck tomorrow. 2018 White Gold with Camel interior. I’m definitely putting this thing in it. Awesome video.
Great Tutorial I’m convinced I’m getting one for my 2020 Raptor thanks 🙏
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! This was a super help for me in installing my unit. The SYNC works perfectly. The sound is better than the original radio. I would have been lost, but you have helped me so much.
you are welcome
Nice tutorial straight down to the point!
The soft touch screen on my 2012 cracked, seeing this and the explanation, thank you so much, automatically subscribed, keep the amazing work going bro!
Thank you for the kind words and the sub
I just found out one of us is color blind. Nice and easy installation video. :)
that would be me lol
Your video was the deciding factor! Mine comes in today! Thank you, as I know this video will come in handy with the install this weekend.
Glad it helped!
How do you like it?
i love how you're able to retain the actual physical buttons for the climate control
me too
Im going say this !
I bought the unit and used your DYS and let me tell you every step used made my experience rather ez and I was successful able to install my head unit now I’ll customize it to my liking thx so much 😊
What size screen did you upgrade from? I’m trying to figure out if it could work from the 4 inch screen
yes it can
I have a 2019 F350 with 4' screen, I picked a used unit for a F150.
Knowing that I would have to do some kind of adaptation.
But apearantly AutoTech Pro will not sell any parts just entity kits, do you have any advice?
This is a very intuitive instructional video. I installed mine in my 2019 Ford Raptor yesterday and it was nice and easy to install thanks to this video. The deck works great and is, like others have said, very smooth operating fully integrated into the stock system. Very happy with my purchase thanks to this video. I am now looking for ways to customize the home portion of the tablet.
Glad it helped. check out the F150 forums they have a forum dedicated to the autotecpro unit
Does it retain factory mic ? And how about the delay going into reverse?
Great video, though I'm using a AuCar unit for a 2018 Ford Explorer, there is lot of similarities between the two units regarding the main connections, this video filled the gap that was missing in the other install videos, that was connecting the cables to the unit.
Really great video brother. I have been on the fence about the other screens because of the loss of functionality. I might have to get one!
Autotec should pay you for this amazing video!!!!
Thank you, I will try to work something out with them
Great write up, I was on the fence about which one to get for my 2019 Raptor, but not anymore. Thanks man.
No problem 👍
Nice job explaining the new unit and features. Thank you
No problem!
i trust in you and i just ordered one for my 2020 ford expedition limited stealth edition 😎
good luck. i hope you enjoy it
i dont like touch screens in vehicles. i do not plan on getting this for my f150. But i stayed and watched the whole thing. this is hands down the best tutorial/build along video I've ever seen installing an aftermarket part. Honestly great video.
Thanks for the kind words
Just curious Joshua, why don't you like the touch screens in your vehicle?
Just watched this video. Very helpful, I am looking at upgrading my new truck interior. But I wasn't sure which radio to get. Then I came across yours. Your video came in handy. I was gonna pay someone to do this for me. You just saved me time n money. Thanks again
Anytime.
I don't own a Ford, but i learned a lot. Good video, very well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great step by step. Excellent! Thank you!
Great video! Very easy to follow along 😊
Glad it was helpful!
You are a GREAT TEACHER 😊
thank you for the kind words
Great video. Would love a follow up review before making my decision. Definitely following
I will do a follow up soon, stay tuned
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Something else to take my eyes off the road
This Helped me install my Tesla style screen on my 2017 FORD RAPTOR! Thanks for your useful video!
Glad it helped!
this is a most helpful installation video on youtube! thank you so much for making this video. My installation went easy because I watched your video. Would you mind share the instruction manual please?
Unfortunately there is no instruction manual
I dont even have a truck but I enjoyed your video. Great work!
Thank you for the kind words
great installation and explanation! nice job!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, super nice video. I dunno if I’d I vent $800 into my 2015 with 200k miles, but it’s pretty nice and ridiculously good tutorial. Still watched the whole thing 😊
Thanks for watching.
FIRE LOVE THE VIDEO
Great tutorial
GREAT VIDEO!!! thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
That was amazing 🎉 good video
Glad you enjoyed it
Best tutorial on planet earth
Thank you so much
Great video man!!
Appreciate it!
great video still happy with this. I hear sone of these are slow to start up and shut down.
I haven’t had any problems.
That is awesome. Wish I could get something like this for my Escape
you can
@@DeaninItYourself You get the dash kit for a 2013 titanium?
Awesome video brother 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed
Love mine just wish they would add RCA outputs. Going to add a 360 camera system to it next.
Nice job looks great👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent Job!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video, it was a lot of help. Also, the sync module holes are not wrong, you you just had it upside down, other than that this video is on point.
Has anyone had issues with their ambient lighting not working anymore?
The module has to be mounted in this direction or your navigation will be off.
I am SO stoked to have come across your video...I've been pondering doing this to my 2018 F150 Raptor for years. Like you I just couldn't do it and loose my Sync system...Your tutorial is AMAZING....you are clear, concise and encouraging....Well done and thank you! Question: what's the purpose of the USB's and Sim card harnesses?
The usbs are for connecting external USB drives to expand storage of music and videos and also to perform the firmware updates. The SIM card is to allow you to use all the apps without connecting your phone via carplay
Sweet. Thank you. My unit arrives tomorrow and I've already got my sim card from my cell phone provider to hook up. I'm incredibly stoked. Thanks again!
@@DeaninItYourself
I'm in the middle of installation of the screen I got from aliexpress in my 18 Ford raptor. I got the answer for the USB cable.. I thought this cable would connect to the usb port in the tray next to the shift knob..again great video man this def helpt me jump and buy the screen 👍👍👍
One more question...since my truck has the gps system already like I believe yours does...is it necessary to install their gps system. Does it do something more than what our factory system does?
In same boat as you all. I have a 2018 Raptor and wasn’t sure what to buy until finding this video and the follow up one where the 6month review comes. Thanks for the patience and will order mine using your code. Thanks.
Glued on tablet style infotainment. Got it....
I love this joint I have same truck wow I need it
I love mine
Thank you for the video! What sim card did you use?
I bought basiclly the same radio for a chevy silverado. They just come with other wires made for my harness and the plastic shape to match my truck. I got it on Aliexpress for 600 for a 128gb 8gb ram model. 14.4" screen. the f150 model is even cheaper than the chevy version on aliexpress. Shipping was a little slow but at least i got my radio and it works great.
Hands down, the BEST how-to video for these epic screens. Thank you!! Side note/question...which SIM card did you go with? Any specific install steps for that? Thanks!
I just got one from Tello.com, but at&t and Tmobile will work. I just put the sim card in and did a reeboot and it worked
@@DeaninItYourself I have the ATT service through Ford but have never known about a sim card, it makes sense, but is there a sim card I should transfer form somewhere out of the stock unit? I just renewed my plan and hope I did not lose $200 for the year. Thanks
Great install video and commentary, well done and thank you!
This is a tough one. Online reviews are terrible for AutoTecPro. It’s a lot of $ and hassle for the risk. Looking forward to your 6mo update.
Great video, but same concern. Online reviews are consistently terrible regarding the longevity of these units from AutoTecPro and also regarding the quality of service you get following your purchase. Seems like their website has now been disabled.
Would love to see you do another review of this unit after a few months of use.
I have not had any issues with their support. Using the F-150 forum helped a lot too
@@DeaninItYourself Have you had any issues with the radio since installation?
Time for a 3 month update - functionality, features, thoughts, etc! @@DeaninItYourself
Great Video, thanks.
You're welcome!
I'm looking at the 12.1" option for my 2019 F250 as well. Does the 360 degree camera view look like factory? Sometimes videos and pictures make it look a little funky. Also, does your truck have a 3rd brake light cargo camera, and if so, does this system retain that? Appreciate the video and any extra input my man!
Awesome
Excelent video , I receive my new screen yesterday and you video gonna help me a lot whit the install,
Question, what type of cell phone holder that you have ,
Thanks
Its just a magnetic one i found on amazon amzn.to/3DCHCqo
Looks better than the px7
Dam that was good !!!!
thak you. glad you enjoyed it
Just bought my
Thank you so much for your video! I think I'm going to pull the trigger as well and get it! Just have a quick question I current have a aftermarket amp and sub and use Amppro interface. I should be just to add that to this correct? It just plugs into Apic unit that u-took off of the OEM unit and swapped it over to the new unit.
Thank you again!
yes i have an aftermarket amp as well, all my amp connections are behind therear seat. so it should not affect the install of the radio
Great Video. We just installed ours. Did you install the microphone and Speaker as well or just use the factory?
I just used the factory
hahaha! lets see the update. i returned mine. snow=Slo mo... heat = Lagfest
you may have gotten a dud, because I have no lag
Thanks for the video! How does it sound?
sounds great
Thats a nice screen, but let me ask you, would I be able to find a tesla type stereo for a 2004 buick rainier 5.3l cxl?
So I just ordered mine and I just received it today. I used your code. Thanks for the discount. What is that extra wire from when you connect to cam bus It has a white tip, three wires, red, black and white. What is that used for and does the speaker still work with the GPS without having to connect the extra speaker that came with it 19:12
If my sirius still works, I'm all in.
From the days of the black swift you been doing radios! 😅 Actually this video is great timing. Looking to buy a radio for my van
Yeah cuz. you know i am always tinkering
Totally awesome. Everything explained. Theonly question.. Android updates abd planned for obsolesence, meaning they stop updating the os for hardware making the hardware obsolete. Typically 3 years. Rooting is not a recommended option, but if you're selling after that point no big deal. Love the ugrade, but concerned about life cycle of unit. Any feedback is appreciated.
Best tutorial i've ever seen.
that is always an issue but i think for the most part this should be good for years to come, since i am primarily using it with wireless carplay and media playback
The main problem with most larger Ford vehicles large screen tends to block something important. If you go larger than 10" you either block your air vents or air/dash board controls.
You.can actually unlock climate controls through the radio if you use forscan and go into the BCM and enable it. All you have to do is turn it on.
Great video...well done!
Question: The USBs that you store in the glove box...are those a replacement or upgrade for the factory installed USBs under the climate control on stock F-Series trucks?? I already have USBs and like my stock location better. Any additional perspective or color on this is appreciated.
the glove box ones are additional. your factory ones will still work as usual, but you need the other ones just to store additional media and to update the firmware on the raidio
Is there a way to show the outside temperature at all times?
Very nice video
Thanks
Cheers🎩 Ginger Beer/Sorrel💯🤣
Thanks for the great video. Two questions: 1) Can I convert my 2013? And 2) what kind of watch are you wearing? That thing looks sick!
Yes you can! And it’s an Apple Watch Ultra. With a case band.
I’m definitely getting this, thank you bro
No problem 👍
Great video. From start to finish, how long did it take you to install?
About an hour and a half.
I was going to get this head unit for my truck, but it wouldn’t fit my truck because it was a 2014, so from 15 on up it would fit so I got the Kenwood DMX809S, with the kit was $1353 installed.
Just found your channel. Awesome vid. Btw, where are you from? Sounds like you're from Guyana, like me
I am actually from Jamaica
Do you have the courage to make a video about how to replace the batteries in the ADT alarm panel?
Hello great video, quick question can you still see the hazard button and traction control buttons with normal sitting? Thanks
depends on how tall you are. the 12 inch version you can see fine, the 14.4 inch version they are a bit hidden for the average person
Thanks for the video !! I install everything with the video .. but he don’t have rca output at all to connect amplifier?
This unit for the ford does not have RCA outputs for amplifier, you have to do aftermarket amp install by tapping into the connections behing the back seat. It basically connects to your existing sync system
@DeaninItYourself I noticed when you removed the sync display module from the dash there was one plugin for the factory usb. But then when you mounted the sync module to the back of the tesla screen there was two plugins one for the factory usb and another and it was a completely different module from the one you removed. I'm sure its nothing but. Could you please explain? Thanks.
I just bought one for my 2018 F150 with sync 3, 8 inch screen and auto climate control and it arrived yesterday Dec 18th 2023, Christmas present from wife. :) I will probably install it on Christmas day and im educating myself on the install watching your video. Fantastic install video by the way. Much better than the one autotecpro has, as you explain all the connections.
the removal video was from an removal i did on a different vehicle, because the footage from my vehicle got erased mistakenly, thats why it only had 1 usb port, the important thing is just to connect the usb from the port you removed it from on your model.
Great video. Im torn between this screen, the Linkswell and the Alpine ILX. From your research would you still choose the AutoTec?
In my opinion yes.
