Alright so I originally posted this in the G3 section and they told me... "we don't like your kind" lol.


Folks,

I'd like to get one of them fancy screens installed in the RAPTOR. Below in my criteria.

I will drive 2 hours from 20755
Screen should be a direct plug and play
The screen system should be great quality
WiFi and Bluetooth enabled
Netflix, youtube, etc etc enabled
I WILL PAY FOR INSTALL.
I need this installed before 25 AUGUST.

Thanks :)
DoJo.

It takes a couple weeks to get one shipped over from china. From the YouTube videos I've watched you should be able to do the install yourself with basic hand tools. Also all big screen products are half baked and will have their quirks. If you want a flawless system I suggest sticking with stock.

This was my experience with the phoenix model. It got glitchy after a few months, went back to stock.

Oh wow so bad that you went stock?? Just so I'm not an idiot here.. the stock Gen 2 system does NOT allow me to watch Netflix/Youtube on the stock screen correct?

Phoenix is the only unit that will retain SYNC as well. Something to consider if you try to buy a Linkswell or a Navos which I believe are two unit s that are stateside. & correct no youtube or netflix on the stock screen.

Damn it @goblues38 This is not what I want to hear. No one in America wants to make money? All this Chinese highknees, lowkeys, boy please.

If that is the case, are there devices to emulate the screen of the Iphone 13? Screenshare/Airdrop?

just buy the magic box and use your stock screen
it will allow you to use your phone or wifi to stream Netflix, YouTube, ESPN.
$300 I believe
That's the best idea, now how can we get a higher resolution replacement screen! Google maps on satellite view looks grainy for example.
