Found a 12.1 android head unit that incorporates HVAC factory system controls

Now that they have updated it I plan on ordering one too.
First I want to confirm the rear seat entertainment still works. My kids want the screens to work!

I messaged with them on Facebook and they claim it will work with the rear screens. However, they couldn't seem to understand the question when I asked if the rear RCA inputs would still work so I'm not very confident in their answer. I have the two rear screens with the 2 zone headphones. I would love this head unit but I would like to know for sure if its compatible with the rear screens and the stock headphones. I really don't care if both rear screens play the same movie that's fine with me. The biggest issue I want to know if works with this or not is the ability to incorporate their external dvd player or hdtv tuner and let the kids (or grownups) in the back watch something and listen on the headphones while I have navi going on the front screen and music playing over the speakers.

I will be calling them this week to confirm what the radio can do, I'll report back what I'm told.

Sounds great. I'm afraid you'll need a translator though. So no one has fully installed one of these yet?

I'm the original poster, and have done a lot of research. They have been out for awhile and there are numerous youtube videos on the previous version. To my knowledge no one on this page has installed one yet.

I've talked with them on the phone before, I had a couple long talks with their tech people and pushed them to incorporate the factory rear seat entertainment. I explained that people buying these trucks with the rear seat entertainment won't implement a system that doesn't keep it working.

I hope my call goes well and to be ordering one next week.
If I buy one I plan on recording my install and provide as much info as possible.

Yes that sounds great! That's what I was trying to convey to them on Facebook messenger is that a lot of people want the rear entertainment and wireless headphones to work. Cause we dont want to hear sponge bob or cars or sharks lol!

I did the same thing on messenger and I was going to purchase before the holidays, but they didn't have the PX6 version with the updated RAM, they said it was coming soon.

The biggest concern that I would like to get verification on is the rear entertainment as noted, they said it would work on the 2014 and up trucks, but it wouldn't work on 2007 to 2013 then they sent me a link to an adapter with a separate dvd player to use with it as the head unit didn't' have a rear video output from it. Be great to see a new version working.

Also something to check is if the Heat and AC work with remote start, they told me this isn't something they tested.

From my research Phoenix and Rhino are only resellers and the units ship direct from overseas and I am betting all the development happens there.

Good luck and very curious on what you see with it

It is my understanding as well that you actually have to turn on HVAC everytime you crank engine and that really blows.

Literally, it would seem... ;-)

This is my issue though, they should be able to figure this out as the original HVAC head unit, from what I remember, display or controls don't turn on or work with out the key on.

Something to test I guess with the new one
