edit: just realized the T Style means "Tesla Style"

So I've been researching and waiting to pull a trigger on a new headunit since the day i bought my jeep. Insane Audio, Heigh10, CC3... i couldn't make up my mind. Then this morning I saw a post somewhere in the forums about this gem and I couldn't resist. Shipped out today and I'm psyched:

Both Insane Audio and Heigh10 seem like incredible units that are more than worth their money. I'm a techie though, and the thought of the giant vertical screen was too hard to resist. I'll post a first impressions and a full review after it arrives next week.

I'm wondering about many other onscreen features that may or may not be available on this T style unit.

Like:

Off road pages
Engine guages
Tire pressure status
Etc.

I'm also a techie and have run android headunits in other vehicles with great success. However, there are usually missing features from factory headunits that cannot be emulated well with aftermarket units.

Looking forward to a real hands-on review!

Crazy huge!!

I'm Running a Seicane 10" in my JK and its Android. It's been good for the past 2 years but the learning curve coming off using iOS and PC is a pita. Can't wait to see how this works out.

Looks good. Any idea what type of camera inputs it has? I just did the tazer upgrade to add the front camera on the JL and it sucks. It is not the camera, it is the type of input. It is usable the way it is, but would be nice if it had a better picture.

Phoenix Automotive has one as well... the button config looks a little nicer than the Linkswell and they have a version with 6gig of ram and Android 10... Anyone getting one of these?

Problem is, when you ask them questions, their customer service seems pretty bad. I tried to ask them about the rear view input (HD or not?) and whether is passes through the uconnect settings and what not. Couldn't get a good answer. The price is right though!
