As you can see i the one Pic it does not line up the best with passenger grab handle. It is taking some time to get use to it. There is alot i like about it but some things i dont most minor but still bugs me. Like if you hit the power button to turn A/C off you cant hit it to turn it on, the bar at top of screen you hit to go into EQ settings looks like cell signal bars, a few other things that could be fixed with a software uodate. Only things that could from an update is the fit around the grab handle and i think the lights around the too knobs a little bright. Wife doesnt think so but i do. I would love to find someone with the Stinger Hieghten to compare. Got a felling that is they way i would have went if was able to demo 1st. But i do like the radio

Have you had any issues with your A/C with this unit? Does it retain all of the factory functions?? I have to run my A/C in auto all of the time for it to work properly. Thanks again for all of your responses!

Mine is a manual AC does not have auto climate controlls. Only thing i dont like about the AC controlls. Is you can hit the power button to turn it off but not to turn it back on. To turn it on i have to hit fan button or vent settings but thats not really an issue more of a prefrence

I have got the backup camera fixed. Called their tech support which helped me fix it quickly was Installer error.

So far I'm loving the unit
Anybody considering one I can try to give so insight

On start up it takes 28 sec to full boot. It uses an App call phonelink for Car-Play and Android Auto. Car-Play takes about 14 seconds to connect with Android Auto being little quicker. I'm using radio tethered to an Android phone with Apps downloaded directly to radio. I will say I do not recommended getting the Igo Map upgrade they offer for $100. I did and it's not worth it. Using Waze unless I have no cell reception, I use Google maps in offline mode. Takes a minute to get use to it and learn to navigate the menus.

I tried connecting to a BT OBD2 adapter but it only sypport one way BT connections. So I have oreder a WIFI and a USB OBD to see if I can get it to work that way. Hopefully things like Torque or Jscan will work.
All the Factory USB plugs work for USB drives or charging but not Car-Play or Android Auto. I does have a port for that the website suggest running to glove box. I ordered a usb plug to replace the 12 volt socket on dash the works and doesn't look out of place
I did order the DVR camera they offered. It is a usb camera that is controlled by radio it also adds the ADAS alerts (lane departure warnings, collision warnings, stop and go traffic ) this is easly turned off.

All the wires that came with it looked intimidating at 1st and no install manuel but all plug and play. Comes with an external mic, GPS antenna and a wifi antenna.

Now I got to find options for speakers
Hello, I'm having the same issue with the back up camera not working can you please tell me what was actually wrong. I have the same unit.

Any issues for the SXM? as I see there is no readily avail button for it, or is it encapsulated in the radio function on the touch screen?

There is not a connection for SXM. I had an android head unit on my JK and just used the SXM app on my phone - I believe it will be the same with this unit. That is one of the drawbacks but it also enables me to cancel my subscription and save a little $$.

In Canada the SXM subscription is cheaper than mobile data charges, so not getting this unit now, oh well, maybe in future 2022+ models Jeep will integrate the RAM touch screen (12") and be 100% factory fitment....not holding my breath though.....I figure if they can get it in the RAM, they should be able to get it in the Jeep linup

Nice, just remember when installing there is 2 inputs for backup camera. Only one will work.
Finally got it jnstalled!! I tried both cam inputs but neither of them worked - I guess it'll hafta wait until Tuesday cause it think they took off early today...I have not been overly impressed with their customer service at this point either but I love the unit!!

Hey @Jack Coleman, I'm not having much luck with Linkswell's customer service. I called them multiple times last Thurs-Friday and could never get a tech on the phone. Today, I told them I was getting frustrated and would just hold...I sat on hold for 20 mins and then was disconnected promptly at 4pm their time and now they won't answer!! Can u by chance remember which input you used for the backup camera?
