What about the 12.1 inch screen by GUA? Apparently that's what they put in the Shelby Raptors?

Not for me. The price tag, no android auto or apps to download, no xm radio, no sync.

Is this the one everyone has been waiting on for so long? I ordered mine about a week ago before joining on here. Thought the 1-2 Month wait wouldn't be to bad, but now reading this might just cancel.

Hopefully someone comes out with something better because the 17-20 is going to look very dated in a couple years.

Love my 2020 but the infotainment was dated when I bought it brand new...

I find it hard to believe that theres no 12” + screen available. Especially in this market.

Are you talking about lack of supply or saying that there should be more options to chose from?

auto manufacturers are probably 5 years behind when it comes to the audio and integration. from what i understand a lot of it comes from the r&d and testing of a vehicle before it can go into production. that being said, auto manufacturers are also making it harder and harder to integrate aftermarket head units by having everything controlled by data. it takes alpine/sony/pioneer, idata, pac, etc etc a very long time to build a system and have it work flawlessly with the data of a vehicle. as well as being very expensive. they have to weigh the cost of production to the number of customers they can potentially have. now days most newer vehicles require a data module anywhere from $100 (but usually $250) antenna adapter, ($20) dash kit (varies by make $20-$600) and install ($200-$400) plus the cost of the radio. lets take the 2016 f150. maestro makes the data retention module. $250 they also make the dash kit ($350) with this truck you have to remove the heater controls and double stack them into the new dash kit. takes time and you have to be careful with the circuit boards. this is a 3.5-4 hr install. our shop here in ca is $150 an hour. you are $1000 before you even look at a radio. lets say the radio is $1000 so $2k to replace the radio in the truck. how many people do you know will spend $2000 to replace just the radio? these are all factors the audio manufacturers have to take into consideration when deciding when or if they want to make data interfaces, dash kits or radios for vehicles. up until recently the 13-14 raptors had no option to replace the radio. nothing existed. not enough production of the vehicle/ optioned package to be profitable to spend the time and money to make anything for them. it sucks but thats how technology is going these days

I find it hard to believe that theres no 12” + screen available. Especially in this market.
