I’ve never bought something so fast and with such little forethought. Thanks!
Dude that's exactly how it happened to me 😂😂😂

That specific box is also the old style with android 7. Either way they are over priced and slow as hell.
Like my method better but it’s not plug and play.
I took such a garbage pic but that’s a fire tv wired into the radio

I've had no issues with it, it was simple plug and play. 5g isn't an issue as it's not widely available for cell service in my area anyways. It was just simple to use. I'm sure they are better options out there, but they may require more work to use them.

Yes, the distraction of watching TV while driving a 700HP 6000 LBS truck is a good idea. :unsure:

There are several of these branded under different labels. Some have more reviews than others, and some run Android 9. I would look for those.

There are a few issues with all of them. The ones that I’ve researched must use your phones internet hotspot, meaning they won’t connect to the in-vehicle WiFi. Most of the videos show that they can be pretty slow with loading apps and video quality isn’t great.

For now, I’m going to stick with an old iPhone that I jailbroke and sideload video apps over CarPlay. Of course this is only to be used while parked…

How does the fire tv connect to the radio? Usb?

I haven't tested but I would imagine it would. It just takes over the carplay section.
