Reminds me of the Havis system but missing a 0 in the price!

I'd do it if it supported Sirius.

My first concern with this would be Android 6 - Marshmallow as released like in 2015?

For my comfort level I would only consider the latest Android OS which is 8.

I like the idea of the Tesla screen - but knowing how finicky these things tend to be be, I'd be more comfortable with dedicated buttons for my AC/Heat like this unit http://www.carnaviplayer.com/aftermarke ... 2017-p-894

they all seem to come up when you do a Google search for "Ford, Taurus, head unit, radio"

based on the stereo shops i've been to around here they say there are no aftermarket faceplates/kits for 2013-2017 Ford Taurus mainly because these mfgs are tired of Ford changing the console design every few years.

I was told the same thing and couldn’t personally find a dash kit. Once i saw the Chinese screen on your other post, I was sold on it. I like the other one better than this one because it plays cds and dvds.

You could use the app on the device?

DAMN! Never thought of that! ...but my data...

[mymangochutney]

I thought American carriers had unlimited data for cheap?

[GonzoWerke]

Now that you mention it...I think the Wife did get us unlimited.

I just installed this Tesla radio. For the most part it’s great, however there is no SIM card option available so you have to use your phone as a WiFi hotspot. And there is no way to activate rear defrost. Besides that it is awesome and far cheaper than the only other way more expensive option.

Awesome! Any chance you could share a couple of pics?

That's weird about the rear defroster...

I bought the Car Navi unit, I haven't had the time to mess with it between work and school yet.

Do you need the civ console to get these to fit properly? The police radio seems shorter, might have to trim a bit of it down to get my aftermarket radio to fit with the police console. Otherwise, I'll be making a trip to the junkyard lol.

Assuming it works out, I'll post some pictures later this week.

[Jake_Blues]

cool!

can't wait to see pics.

did you get the rear camera and OBD II add ons?

[transportsaxon]

I only got the android auto add-on, I have a Bluetooth OBD sensor and the car came with an aftermarket rear view mirror camera. I'm having a console shipped to me so it will be a while yet. It also looks like it came with an adapter for those SYNC/AUX modules, so it will be fun if I can use those in a non-sync car lol.

Got it installed today and it works pretty good, I ran out of time to get the center console installed but I'll post it later when its all together. I freaked out when I noticed I was missing a wiring harness, but that was for some of the speakers that aren't in the PI Sedan or for Sync I guess. One feature that this has that wasn't advertised is it actually has a Sync app to retain sync features.

Thank you to all of the users for little nuggets of helpful information

[Jake_Blues]

excellent job!

are you planning on moving the speakers out of the rear deck to the rear doors?

[Tech88]

Do you have the civi console or PI console? Wondering how it fits with the PI console

[transportsaxon]

Need a civi console, the radio is much longer than the PI version, and is keyed differently for civi bezels.
