I’m sure this has been covered but I’m not having any luck figuring out how to watch YouTube on my auto tech unit. Is there any easy way to enable that stuff? I love the unit besides it not always auto connecting to my phone, getting stuck trying to go to CarPlay

What do you mean watch youtube? You can just download the app, or you can open the browser? The phone connection, and having to manually reconnect ofetn, is my biggest complaint about this unit, so I just bought a sim card for it and it now has it's own plan. $20 a month to never have to worry about the connection again. I've completely disconnected my phone and no longer use carplay on it. It has native apps for waze, audible, spotify, etc so no need for me.

This is what I would recomend also. The monthly fee is well worth the ease of use.

It seems im doing something wring trying to get the unit to connect to my I phones wifi or hot spot. The network connection issue is the message i get.

I've got this unit in a Gen 1, but curious if you guys have figured out any solutions to a few issues I haven't resolved yet -

I'm assuming the access to the stock Sync screen is done through the "Console" app? I've randomly found it at times, but also noticed that the "buttons" are inverted on it. On my old PX6 unit there was a setting to invert the stock radio display, but can't find the setting on this unit.

The other issue I've got is that to Wi-Fi doesn't automatically turn on like my PX-6 unit did, and I've gotta manually turn it on each time. It already sucks that Tasker won't automatically turn the Hotspot on on my phone when the Bluetooth connects anymore, so I'm hoping to at least figure out how to get the Wi-Fi to turn on on the unit automatically when it powers up.

Lastly, I noticed sometimes the radio seems to launch sometimes in the Sync screen even though I have it set to launch on YouTube. Anyone found a fix to that?
