Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

20 days and no ship. I gave them the ultimatum I will cancel and challenge the credit card charge if it doesn't happen soon. I'm not sure this was a good idea.

Sorry they're so slow to ship, hope things get ironed out for you.

Any updates?

I cancelled the order last week. They refunded the money. So, I will be lookiing for something else. Poor customer service if you ask me.

If you find another source please let me know, I'm still considering one. There is a Developer who has improved the firmware for these radios, I recommend searching for his Facebook page and read there.

Any idea on developer name?

Any idea on developer name?

If you are facebook search for the group " Tesla Style PX6 Head Units. Firmware, software and support " I believe his name is Sergey Kurov.

Thought I would add my 2 bits in here.

I ordered Phoenix Automotive's "[NEW] 13" Android 13 Navigation Radio"

on May 3rd and received tracking info yesterday May 8th. They told me 5-15 business days to ship so that isn't to bad IMO.

Of course I still don't know when I will actually receive it since it is coming out of China but I do have a UPS tracking number so I guess we shall see how long it takes.

I have seen a ton of reviews on these units and they seem to be a love it or hate type of thing. Most people complain about shipping speed and a lack of customer service. One thing I noticed is a lot of people, that left reviews on YouTube anyway, seem to have ordered these at the beginning of 2020 right as the "Plandemic" was happening so I have to believe that certainly affected shipping times.

I ordered the 12GB RAM and 256GB ROM version so I don't believe there should be any problems with sluggishness or lag.

The reason I went with this company as opposed to a different seller is the fact that this unit keeps all of the factory buttons that were originally at the bottom, like adjustable pedals, traction control, parking sensor assist, heated washer fluid. Since I repurposed my heated washer fluid button to use as my Air Horn switch I wanted to keep it and many of the other radios on the market didn't have that button on the side like this one does.

I will keep you guys posted on how it goes.

Definitely keep us posted @kbuskill You're right on the love hate thing when it comes to these style units. The screen size is appealing and the operating system provides a lot of flexibility for apps etc. My understanding is there's a facebook group with someone who has an updated firmware/software update that makes them significantly more functional? I don't do facebook so I'm out on that.

Been wanting to upgrade the radio head unit in my GMT900 Escalade and just haven't landed on what I want yet. Trying to just start with an updated radio head unit before going too far down the rabbit hole of component speakers, 4 channel amps, sound deadening, and getting rid of the BOSE... It's too easy to be "well I'm upgrading the radio and while I'm at it might as well..." said no one ever who stayed within their budget. I like music, and rocking out with my kids, but I'm no audiophile, and would rather put funds towards go-fast drivetrain upgrades.

Keep is in the loop on your experience with the head unit, install, and functionality ease of use.

I wonder if this could be used to control the massage function on the newer Cadillac seats if ppl start putting Esky seats in Tahoes/Yukons?
