The XL now allows iPhone users to activate and use Car Play (Apple) and Android Auto WIRELESSLY to enjoy a seamless experience using the power of your smartphone for additional features of each system.
By connecting the Linkswell T-Style XL to a mobile or smartphone Wi-Fi hotspot (or adding a 4G SIM card to the included receptacle), users can access the Internet through a browser that displays full web pages with multiple tabs and search capability. They can also use their subscription-based streaming services — Pandora® Internet Radio, SiriusXM® Satellite radio, Spotify® and more — by downloading the Android-compatible apps onto the unit’s 128GB of internal storage.
For safety, the Linkswell T-Style XL has three dedicated camera inputs for optional front, rear and passenger-side camera views. The reverse camera switches when the vehicle shifts into reverse gear, the right side camera when the right turn signal is applied, and the front camera is manually operated.

SIM Card Notes:
If you are planning to add a SIM card to your unit to give it its own cell plan, here are some tips to help you get through the process of sourcing your SIM card as easily as possible:
Just about every cell provider will want you to provide an “IMEI” number to purchase a SIM card for use in any device. This radio’s IMEI number is one digit too short to be a valid number, so even if you supply it, the number will come back as invalid, so there is no use in even logging it or giving it to your provider – IT WILL NOT WORK.
Tell them you need a “BYOD” (Bring Your Own Device) SIM Card. Tell them you do not have an IMEI number for it. Tell them it is a standard tablet. Do not mention that it is a radio – this will only confuse them and prolong the process!
They may argue that they need an IMEI to get a card activated – this is not true. If they refuse to provide a card, go to another factory store and ask to see the manager. Eventually, you will be able to find a person to provide a “BYOD” SIM card.
Once you have the SIM card, pop it into the radio’s SIM Card slot and do a hard reset (paper clip in the RST hole), and it should report as soon as the the radio reboots. You can check this by going to Settings>System>Android Settings>Connections>SIM Card and verifying a phone number on SIM1.
ATT SUBSCRIBERS:
ATT SIM cards need to treat the radio differently than other devices and will require a different configuration to be entered in the Android “Connections” section.
