I know this isn't what you guys had in mind by video, but this is the best i've done so far. I'll upload a full video eventually.

Love the way they work. I just ran into a power problem with mine. It does not power on with either of the two power wires (yellow and red). I think I have a defective head. I asked today for a return. When I get it, I'm going to switch to a different Android head. I'm going to keep with this idea, and install the new head as soon as it gets here.

Good job, Zebracakes. Now at least if something goes wrong, you can watch a video on how to repair it on the highway. It's a win win deal. LOL.

It won't power on with either of the two yellow or red wires. BOTH need to have +12v to power it on. One is constant 12V (yellow) that provides memory and the main draw of current and the red is the ign trigger telling the radio to turn on.

^^^Agree 100% with that statement. AK, did you buy an aftermarket harness to plug into the stock harness from the truck. All wiring you need for power and speakers will be on it. It's then one for one at that point.

No I didn't buy a built harness. I've been doing this for years, but this head has an internal power problem. I tested each wire with a meter, and had power thru each one when tested, so it isn't the harness. It's not the fuses either, checked. There is a complaint about these coming out of the box without working. There was 2 on eBay last week, selling because they didn't power on. Brand new heads, identical even in name. That is when I got serious about checking each wire. It must just be a poor (new design sucks) that they redid. I would of liked the one in my picture I ordered, rather than what was shipped as a new updated replacement.

The second yellow wire went to the #19 pin on the J1 plug (24 pin system, not the F150 config). This was the positive for the steering wheel redundant controls. The other wire went to the return side, or the #18 wire. Since nothing came with the radio that matched the head, it was a bit of a headache. I found a Punpu (sic) radio, that is identical and it had the help I needed. I had everything right on the other parts (how can you screw up speakers, lol), so it was just he swc's that were there and nothing referenceing them. Oh well, I figured it out.

Yes you can. Most of these units you'll find will have built in wifi, so you can tether your phone for internet. Or if you'd rather buy a usb modem from a carrier that's supported too.

That would be awesome. Download spotify and use WiFi at home to download your songs for offline play and wouldn't have to worry about data while driving.
