CarLinkLife multimedia screen for 100 Series (7 Viewers)

[CapitalTiger]

Looking to upgrade my factory unit to something with Carplay. I've determined I don't want the Grom VLine because my OEM screen is very faded and have seen mixed reviews here on the Tyes options.

Anyone ever installed a CarLinkLife? Seems like a good balance between the two?

Why not replace your screen?

Never heard of it. I've been hoping to go nav to non-nav but haven't found an easy place to grab all the needed parts. I've reached out to a couple of Mud'ers here but no success yet. You can replace the screen but it's still sub par under the best of circumstances. I'll have to check CarLinkLife out myself.

I’d go with the teyes screen. It’s a little bigger than the factory screen and looks more oem. There’sa huge post about the unit and its installation You might want to have a read. It’sa long read

Is that possible with some semblance of 2020’s clarity? Or am i just finding a better OEM to swap?

You should be able to find a new screen, which will be as clear as it was when the truck was new.

My concern with the teyes option is the humming noise. Suppose that’s a risk here, as well.

Checked out the Carlinklife today. Looks decent but man, how many extra unused connectors are getting stuffed behind the new unit? A half dozen at least, which means it's made to be a "Universal" unit, That makes me nervous...You can find an install video on Youtube.

Looks decent, much better than those Tesla screens. One thing that’s prevented me from switching to the Teyes is HVAC controls. This has it, but a digitized version and a play on the newer RR vehicles. I’d need a heavy discount to buy this
