I just installed a Phoenix Automotive Android radio 12.1" vertical "Tesla screen" in my 2012 F250 and thought some of the guys here who own an older truck might like to know there's a mostly plug and play option out there for a big screen, with AC controls built in, maintains steering wheel controls, and has wireless android auto and car play

The install was "ok". It would have been easier had they included some install instructions. I had some difficulty with the A/C and fan controls related to a wire that I didn't connect. I'm not a fan of the color selections and had to go with matte woodgrain. My plan is to get some factory interior paint and paint the bezel the factory color once I'm sure everything is working properly. I already had a side tap for the reverse camera since my truck only had a camera in the rearview mirror. I'm considering abandoning the mirror camera and installing an aftermarket camera in the factory location and running a new wire. As I understand it, if you already had the backing camera in the head unit, there's nothing you'll need to do to have it appear on the screen. I'm gonna pop a big Ford oval on the main screen just to give it a bit of a factory look.

Once I get all the settings figured out I'll post some pics and a better review of the system.
