Mini Ai box for 51 (my maverick)

[Irvinec32]

Upgraded my carplay to this Ai box. It is almost like having an android tablet on your dash. Kinda cool if you like gadgets. Maybe overkill if you like to keep things simple.

Not familiar with that app, but I don't see why not.

These devices will eat a lot of hotspot data if you're streaming video. That's how they connect to your phone.

Most cell plans have a limited amount of hotspot data. Are you on iPhone or Android?

$200.00+ [after coupon] ... --> pass.

Good candidate to "sideload" the "Torque PRO" APP to it and connect it (using BlueTooth) to an "OBDII adapter" for troubleshooting CEL's (without a cell phone or external tablet) and for displaying real time vehicle performance data (while driving the vehicle) BUT ... not for the listed price.

Irvinec32 love the Maverick videos! Keep up the great work!

I can’t speak to this specific model but I have an AI Box too and it is totally worth it. Can leave my wife and kids watching TV, while I’m filling up or in a store. No more “Are you done yet?”.

No messing around with cables and it operates completely stand-alone, running any app. you want. I put a cellular sim in it and it is way better than any Ford Sync system, with the ability to seamlessly switch between Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Android 12.

Does it require Siri to be enabled on the iPhone?
Thx...

Does the box automatically connect to your phone when you get in the truck, given that it powers down every time the truck is cut off? I'm thinking this may be a music solution for those of us with a lot more tunes than the factory sync can deal with on a usb too. I just don't want to have to have to manually connect my phone whenever I get into the truck. I also don't want to stream my music via BT, due to the SQ loss.

Yes, phone auto connects.

Some of these don’t work without the Lariat sync. Looks like you have an xlt? So no issues with the xlt/xl sync?

Is there a delay during phone conversations on BT like some have reported with other "AI" boxes? Thanks for all the info!

I have not had issues yet.

I will have to save up some cash for this thing maybe... It would likely solve my massive music library issue, without affecting other stuff, and also gaining a few features
