Anyone Try Aftermarket Displays/Head Units??

On any of these after market radios with the larger screens, does google maps fill the entire screen or just a portion of the screen? The main reason for me wanting a larger screen is so google maps fills the entire 13" screen. The stock screen is smaller.

Yes you can toggle how much of the screen fills with the bottom left button of android auto. it looks like a split square and it will maximize your current app or split screen with your previous app and current app.

I just ordered one of these before I saw your post and it's on the way now. I had read that the install video for the Lariat Lux was missing. Looking at the included cables, I recognized that #11 was to plug into the Sync 3 APIM and was wondering if you connected into that? In order to get to it, the ACM would need to come out so that you can access the APIM because it is mounted above it. I know that would be missing from install video for the XL/XLT, but I had seen it done in a Sync 4 upgrade video and I felt confident I could find it and tap into it without the directions.

My Lariat didn’t come with any Sync. So not sure I’d that unit is even compatible with one that has Sync?

Hi,
I just installed the Dasaita unit in my 2023 Lariat hybrid this past week and I love it so far compared to the stock radio.

The install was not bad at all with the help of their YouTube video. The kit comes with lots of extra cables. I only used what I needed for it work with the minimum. I did not need the SIM card, GPS antenna or the extra usb cables. I’m satisfied with the stock look it gives it.

FYI:
The only problem I noticed was that with calls people say I sound far away. So I need to figure out why that is.
The reverse camera seems a little slower to engage than the stock radio.

I did contact the manufacturer support about this and they sent me a link to update the firmware and MCU. I haven’t done this yet to see if it fixes any of these couple issues.

My Maverick came with the no SYNC radio. So installing this unit was nothing too concerning for me.

Doesn't this unit come with its own phone microphone that works separately? The stock microphone for my 2023 XLT Hybrid is on the drivers side pillar. The videos I have seen to install this kit has you running a wire up through the passengers pillar and to the center roof area.
