    So the touch commander is installed and working fine. Simple intstall i used the stock xm plug from the truck by using the maestro kit. I dont have a final spot to where i will mount it but i till probably leave it down here.... i dont like things on my dash.

    But just confirming for all those interested the maestro kit WORKS with this..the adapter plugs right into the oem one..that way you dont have to run another antenna through the truck.

    Once installed log on to siriusxm and you can switch your subscription from the oem radio to this one.

    Note: The cord wasnt long enough for me to put the radio where i wanted so i got an extension cable off Amazon:

    Eightwood SMB Male to SMB Female Extension Cable for XM Sirius Coax Satellite Radio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071H6QB3Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lFQoAbJEWYDWP

    Side question anyone having a issue with the top part of the radio staying secure in place? Mines keeps popping out from time to time even with the clips.

    Go to post #1060, you have to reach in through the center speaker and lift the HU wire harness over the dash frame work to relive some pressure.

    Will do. Thanks!

    While I'm asking questions. Are there any themes that it came with that do the weather that aren't in chinese? I know I can download nova launcher, but I think that makes it look more like a tablet than a radio (if that makes any sense). Thanks to everyone here my install was less of a pain because of you all!

    I'm looking into A2DP, haven't gotten it to work just yet, but it's suppose to read the text message over audio when it receives them. It doesn't have an on screen interface though.

    I understand I can with Nova Launcher. I'm trying to keep it looking more like a radio than a tablet though, and was wondering if there was an update to the stock themes before I attempt to cycle through them all

    Thanks, you just saved me a ton of time. Looks like I'm going to have to use the Nova Launcher if I want weather displayed though.

    There are a few car launchers in the play store that you can try. Just search for car launcher.

    What's everyone using for wifi? I have Tmobile and have unlimited data. Hotspot from my phone works good for running navi and spotify but if I try to start a movie it buffers quite a bit. Just curious what the options are.

    I wouldnt recommend that i bought the jetpack elite with verizon an 70 bucks a month for only 8gigs lte data. If you have unlimited through tmobile stay with that. Just my opinion

    Curious if anyone had this problem where the backup camera has a signal, but too dark to see anything? I have checked all the settings and I hate to pull the HU. I would assume if I had a connection issue I would get receive "No Signl."
