That looks amazing! Can you tell us a little about it? Does it work with everything, ie steering wheel controls, etc. Did you do the install? Was it difficult?
Everything works so far except I can't get the backup camera to work...2 other people on the forum have had the same issue and customer service helped them to correct it - I couldn't get in touch with them today for some reason. The steering wheel controls all work like normal, the only thing that you lose is Sirius XM. It has Android auto/Carplay so I just use the XM app. There is a thread in electronics with more pics and info. I really like it and the pics don't really do the size of it justice - it is huge!

Thank you for the info! I use Car Play and stream through Pandora and use Apple Maps. I’ll search for the thread. Would love to see what Car Play looks like on that screen. Hope you get the backup camera issue resolved!

No problem! I'm certain its something I did wrong on the install making the camera not work. All of the YouTube videos I watched of installs and other info said that you lose the factory usb android auto/Carplay function but it even retained that! That pic of Google maps is from my android auto.

Can you tell me about your light bar?
That’s not a quadratec one. I liked the idea but the light output and pattern didn’t seem worth it.
I wanted to avoid wind noise so I mounted it inside and made an aluminum shield to cut down on light reflecting into the cab. It took a lot of fine tuning that honestly may not have been worth the effort. It does illuminate quite well, tho.

I’m sure it took some time. That is really sweet though

I stretched its tank. “Low” miles is a new one! Showed up when it counted down less than 10. And the fillup immediately after that came on was 19.3gal.
So a small reserve, and did track nicely when I started the tank and counting it. Good to know as it’s a pretty responsive display right down to the last bit there. While I don’t like running a tank dry on the regular, it’s nice to trust it enough to stretch it to a few more exits on a long drive. My last truck would just go to low at 50-60 miles and that was annoying to track that last bit.
