Has anyone heard or have experience with the Tesla style display head unit?
I'm sure in the minority but I actually really like MFT. It does what I want it to do. But I came across this yesterday on here:
https://phoenixandroidradios.com/col...-150-2013-2014
And I think it looks cool. When funds allow for it I would like to eventually do this upgrade because it's definitely different.
I haven't heard of this company and who knows how many bugs are in it, but I couldn't really find any reviews. Also not sure how it would affect my hill descent control considering there is no button for it, not that I use it anyways.
Anyone have any information on this product? It's a lot cheaper than a Sync3 upgrade.

Seems like several functions would be missing. it sounds like a straight up tablet install. But, interesting. Maybe for the lower end radios, not Sync2? Seems like it would include 2015 trucks.

I heard from Phoenix Android Radios within 24 hrs. and they sated that all functions in my 2015 Platinum will be retained with their unit...will most likely purchase just waiting to hear about matching my gloss black surround on their unit.

Uhm, no they wont! You will be sorry. Great idea but its not as fluid in function as it looks. They are still working out bugs. You WILL lose ALOT of your functions...You will retain NOTHING sync. You've been warned.
On a side note, beautiful truck. You bought a show truck that was used at SEMA?

Keep this thread up to date with your results please... this looks very interesting but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. (I got burned by a cheap chinese android head unit in another car before.)
But visually, this tablet looks stunning in the F-150.

Making some changes to the install and looking to change out the factory head unit with a Tesla style display as well...still doing my due diligence as the LinksWell component is also on the short list.
Appreciate your insight BGG as you seem to have quite a bit of experience with these trucks
