Linkswell Gen 5 Review - Is It Worth It for My Chevy?

Absolutely! The Linkswell Gen 5 integrates seamlessly with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s a game changer for connectivity.

Just curious how it compares with the Gen 4? I’m on the fence about upgrading.

The Gen 5 is much faster and has a better display. The contrast is worth the investment, in my opinion.

I’ve been thinking about getting one for my truck. Is it easy to install yourself or do you need a professional?

Installation is fairly straightforward, but some may prefer to get it professionally installed to avoid any issues.

True, but if you’re handy, the instructions are pretty detailed. I did mine without a hitch!

Does it come with a warranty? If something goes wrong, I’d like to know I’m covered.

Yes, it does come with a warranty, typically one year. Just make sure to register it after purchase.

That’s reassuring! Thanks! I’d feel a lot better considering the purchase now.

Don’t forget to factor in the price of installation if you’re going that route! It’s an investment but definitely fun for road trips.

I’ve had the Linkswell Gen 5 in my Chevy for about six months now, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer! The interface is super user-friendly, but I did face some connectivity issues initially.

I had a similar issue with mine. It would drop the Bluetooth connection randomly. A simple software update resolved that for me. It’s worth checking for updates regularly!

That’s good to know! What kind of connectivity problems did you experience? I’ve been thinking about getting one too, but I’m worried about setup.

Thanks for the tip, Sean! Do you know if there are regular updates for the Gen 5? I want to avoid these issues before they even start.

Yes! They usually roll out updates every few months. You can check the Linkswell website for the latest versions. It’s pretty straightforward.

I just bought mine, but I’m worried about future updates. I heard some users had trouble claiming warranties when certain modifications were made. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Definitely a good point to consider! I’ve read mixed reviews about warranty claims when third-party mods are involved. It might be best to keep the mods simple if you want to avoid issues later.

That’s super helpful, thanks! I just want my rig to have the best tech without losing my warranty. Should I hold off on any mods until after some time?

Yes! I’d recommend giving it at least a few months to see how it performs first. You can always add mods later as you see fit.

So glad to hear most of you are enjoying the Gen 5! Is it true that the screen is way larger than the stock one? I heard it’s roughly 12 inches!
