It’s about more than that though. Having proper speed and odometer readings are only part of it. Calibrating the speedometer allows the transmission to shift as designed and the ABS to function correctly.

Nice screen setup there. You should start a new thread about it. There are times I really dislike my head unit.

Based on one of your previous posting, why you felt the need to "lie" about having a 12" inch iPad in your dash when you clearly don’t, really doesn’t make any sense especially when another poster asked for you to post some pics.

With that being said, thanks for the pics which is a perfect confirmation of you not telling the truth.

Have a great day.

Why are you calling him a liar? How has he tried to deceive anyone?

He probably used iPad as a generic term for a tablet. Not worth getting worked up over.

This is the what he used. They call it a 12” system.

Yup.
If you sneeze or have a runny nose in my home....I'll offer you a Kleenex.
To be honest, I don't know if it's really a Kleenex.....but you'll know exactly what I'm trying to offer you.
It's the same with Bandaids, Chapstick, JetSki's, Dumpsters, Jacuzzi, Q-Tips, Popsicle, Crock-pots, Sharpie, and Windbreakers....my sons friends call their tablets iPads, whether they are or are not iPads.

Where I grew up, people used the term Frigidaire instead of refrigerator because they were the first (or one of the first) refrigerator makers.

Everyone knows what a 12 inch iPad is and to see one in mounted in a current generation F150 is quite rare whereas the iPad mini or the 9.7 inch iPad mounted in the F150 is not rare anymore.

With that being said, if the poster said that he had a Linkswell or Phoenix systems T-Stye radio installed, many would know exactly what he was talking about and there would not have been any confusion.

Have a great day.

I'm inclined to go along with JKBrad here. I've seen numerous examples of people referring to tablets of almost any kind (be they Android tablets, ChromeOS tablets, no-name tablets, or Surface tablets) as iPads. Doesn't make it right, but maybe it's the best they can do.

Now I want to hear more about this Linkswell do-dad, and what its good points and not-so-good points are.

I don't know anything about it but for me one of the biggest not-so-good points is the loss of the CD player. Now all you have is Bluetooth and MP3 as a source.

I'm not crazy about losing the CD player either, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. Seems to be the direction things are going.
2019 F150's don't have CD players and I've been pondering on ordering a 2020.

I have most of my music on my phone now. I just don't like the compressed MP3 format that much. But it's a lot better than fumbling with CDs while driving. I do prefer the CD sound though.

So what's the solution then? Especially in something like 2019 Lariat with B&O sound system? I'm curious because my current daily driver has a decent sounding 6 disk in dash system and I do love that uncompressed sound.
