Product FAQs

What’s the difference between small RAM and higher RAM?

Small RAM, like in the iPhone 16SE, is suitable for basic tasks and light usage but may struggle with demanding apps or multitasking, while higher RAM, as seen in the iPhone 16, is ideal for smoother performance, multitasking, and handling resource-intensive applications, making it a better choice for long-term use.

I live in the countryside, can you help me with my head unit installation?

Yes, of course! If you’re having difficulty visiting our store, we can provide installation videos to guide you through the process. Alternatively, feel free to call us for assistance, we’re here to help!

Will my steering wheel controls and reverse camera remain working with this head unit?

By default, the steering wheel controls will continue to work for most cars. If they do not, please watch this video  for resetting. For the reverse camera, you will need to adjust the signal to the appropriate format to ensure the stock camera functions properly.

If you putting a new reverse camera, please make sure you follow our Reverse Camera Wiring Diagram to install it properly.

How long does it take to deliver to my place?

Since we're based in Australia, delivery typically takes 2 to 7 business days from our Sydney workshop to your location. Once shipped, we’ll send you tracking details so you can follow your order’s journey.

Do I need to do the same setting every time to connect the head unit every time I start the car?

No, once you complete the first-time setup, the head unit will automatically connect and jump into the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto page every time you start your car. 

How can I install new apps in this head unit?

It comes with the Google Play Store pre-installed. Simply log in to your Google account, search for the apps you want, and download them directly from the Play Store, it’s that simple! Alternatively, you can install apps via an APK file.

Good value Head Unit

Good quality unit. I have no previous experience and was easy to install. Video on what to plug where was helpful and accurate. Note. the were only 2 things from the back of the unit to plug in to the car. The CANBUS and the radio antenna.
Have been using for 2 weeks. Has connected to apple car play fine every time. There's about a 5-10 second wait for it to connect which is fine. Reverse camera needed a setting change which worked straight away. Just messaged on Whatsapp and issue was solved.
Tip from a beginner. Once connected the apple carplay the bluetooth turns OFF. This is normal. I was turning bluetooth back on which you shouldnt do. Non tech mistake form me.
Happy with purchase. Would recommend.

Android base with only secondary apple connectivity

Requires use of app to get IOS connectivity everytime.
Only one aerial connection where vehicle has 2 which does reduce radio signal pick up.
Installation much more complicated than website video suggests.

Hi Shane, Thanks for your feedback! To make Apple CarPlay connect automatically each time, you can enable Background Connection in the app settings — that way you won’t need to launch the app manually.

Regarding the aerial, most VW models only use one active aerial for radio signal, so the single connection is typically all that’s required.

We appreciate your note about installation — we’ll continue improving our videos to better reflect the process for different models. Let us know if you need any extra help!

Head unit quality

Product is ok. But micro phone is intermittent when talking on the phone. Sensor screen keeps popping up randomly. Car connection to the phone via Bluetooth 8 times out of 10 it connects every time the ignition is turned on.

Hi Lee, thanks for your feedback! You can turn off the sensor screen pop-up in the settings menu to stop it from appearing randomly. Also, to ensure your phone connects automatically every time, please make sure the background connection is enabled in the TLink5 app. If you need help finding these settings, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to guide you through it!
