This is how Gm should of built these trucks looks even better than the 2023s

I been using this one on my 2015 sierra 2500HD for one year+ now.
Only issue I have is that sometimes the screen doesn't turn on but still play the sound, just press the reset button and it will turn on right away.
They also sell a small TV box on their website so you can watch your local channels on it.
Also ask them to send you the latest software Update to unlock new features, they will not send you the updates if you don't ask for them.

I have a 2015 Silverado 1500. Converted the front to a 2016 and that was a lot of work and I told myself my I wouldn’t touch the interior but dam that looks good man !! Looks like I got another project to do 😂 thanks bro for the video !

I finally finished my 2014 LTZ. I went with the Stinger Heigh10, PAC Radio Pro RP5-GM51, TOS Link Optical to the back into a Helix Untra DSP, D'Amore Engineering E400.4, E700.4, and E1000.1. JL 13.5" sub and all Audio From Drivers.

This is awsome....I also don't mind stock radio setup haha, I drove a 2010 silverado for the past 10 years and I just picked up a 2017 lt z71 and I have to say I love everything about it so far "knock on wood" lol 😆

Should make an update video on it in a couple weeks, would be interested if it’s got any terrible bugs

[channell]

Given what new trucks cost these days, this can be a nice way to freshen up an older vehicle and make it a little more modern.

[quintili]

That's one hell of an upgrade. Very nice.

[efraing]

It seems pricey but if it works flawlessly it’s worth it 100%. I spent about $400 on my first android headunit and it crashed and was buggy 7 days out of the week. It looks amazing!!

[fredp]

Love that screen. I wonder if they are going to make one for the 2019 and above silverados.

Also answered my question, more responsive than the Zr2....shm

An update on the unit would be great Matt. Looking to buy the Linkswell. However, if this unit is working well for you, it might just be the one to buy.

We swapped one in my buddys 4th gen Cummins ( looks like a 5th gen ) definitely took a bunch of time to get everything dialed in. Now it runs good, only “issue” is the initial start up time is prolly twice as long as yours was. Good 15seconds before you can use anything on the screen. Which kinda sucks but overall it’s still way worth it. If they added the option to update the software it’d be basically perfect. Imho

Nice video and nice truck! Just ordered mine today let's see how long it takes!

[WindsorLiaw]

Matt great video, I am really interested in this for my 15 Silverado 1500 since the middle of my touch screen isn't functioning and I want to have Android auto since my current system does not have it. I would like to see you do a replacement of the backup camera as well.

[dannyminiaci]

Would love to see an update video as I would like one in my truck

[urbanmechanic]

I really like the look of these but I was worried about losing my climate control. One thing I would suggest is the you make a gasket for the 3rd brake light because they leak in these truck and your head liner gets stained but o watch a video on YouTube and it was super easy and I never had to worry again

Hi Matt, have you looked at wireless apple carplay adapters so you can remove the need for cables? Just plug the adapter into the usb and good to go. I got one from Amazon for around $100 for my 2020 Volvo XC60 and it’s worked flawlessly for over a year now

[JVScustoms]

Did I hear you say you did 0 wiring? You didn’t have to wire anything at all except I guess the gps antenna and such? And all factory controls work? Like steering wheel controls and back up camera? Omg I gotta have one like now! It’s been a few months still love it?

[gjkrisa]

Gee I should of looked at this before I bought the stinger I only saw bad things about the Amazon android radios

[varqtube]

Just got the Linkswell Gen 5 for my L5P...it is absolutely awesome. But wow, this HU is really really nice!
