TESLA style screen for Taurus

[Christian]

I cam across this today for 2013-2019 Taurii:
https://www.phoenixautomotiveinc.co...en-navigation-radio-for-ford-taurus-2013-2016

If it works as good as this youtube video of an installation in an F150, I may be interested.

It also allows for mirror linking.

Really interested in this

 

[Eric Morris]

I've seen it put in the new F150s. It's a bit buggy sometimes from what those guys are saying. Depends on your expectations as to how happy you are with it. If you expect some quirks going in, it's fine. If you expect it to work like Ford installed it- you will probably not be happy.

I hate to give up the only **** I have on the center stack.

I am a server engineer. I know IT never works as intended lol

I also dabble in android development so it should be up my alley

Anyone ever end up picking one of these up? I read that it may not work with the heated seats and auto start? That was also mentioned back in Dec 18 on an F-150 install, so maybe with some firmware updates it's good to go now? I could really get behind this if so. It's around half the cost of retrofitting a newer infotainment in to my 13.

It would be nice of their website stated what the known issues are so you could make an informed decision. If the heated seats and auto start are lost then that would be a deal killer for me.

I found another similar model at rhino radios. They have all the different dash kits and pictures, nothing about known issues. I'm going to email them and see what I get back, not banking on much.

At those prices I wouldn't hold my breath it is going to work well or for a long time.

 

[JasonoftheRugar]

Yes I saw these too. I checked and they emailed me back. The heated seats are retained but cooled seats are not. Also sirius radio has to be launched through an app. That means you need a wifi hotspot to use it. Also I think the angle of our radio counsel would cause glare from the sun. The truck models are more vertical. The rhino radio looks exactly like the Pheonix. There website has a lot of questions answered. Read through them. Focus and fusion are similar.

Some of you know that I purchased one of these over two months ago and known problems that I had that nothing plugged in. Got ahold of them a week ago found out they sent me the wrong unit for the car so they're sending me a replacement. I will keep you updated when it comes in

Please post an update once you get the correct unit, because I'm wanting to get the telsa screen for my car.

Update::
After about three months of this crap they finally tell me it doesn't fit my car only 2013 to 2016 but they still have it listed for 2010 to 2016.
Sorry guys I tried maybe something with a newer one .
So back to plan A customizing

Maybe it has something to do with sync 3 vs sync 2?

I don't know but apparently on the website it show a picture of the head unit and it's definitely for a 2013 and up not for mine

I wonder if it would work with my 2018? Since it's for 2013-2016...

I think it is probably a connector issue and dash issue. I have a 13 and I have Sync 2.

 

[Wsho]

Because my Dash looks like this

And not like this as I stated on the website

 

[Johnbigdog]

So when the sho first came out, it had SYNC gen 1 with next gen navigation. In these systems the navigation system is integral to the Audio Control Module.

In later systems (gen 2 and 3) the ACM is one module and the APIM controls the touchscreen. I cant recall if the FCIM and HVAC are separate on gen 2 systems, but they are on gen 3 systems for sure recalling my 2016 unit.

They now have a version with a 6 core processor so it boots faster and has little lag.
