Stinger Heigh10 radio The Good and The Bad.

[@adaleparker1956]

I just bought one and love it. I think they are pretty amazing plug and play unit.

[@DC-kl1gk]

I love mine! The fingerprints got annoying fast but I found a product called Screen ProTech and now my Stinger screen is even better!

[@full_metal2452]

Good video. 👍 Helped me decide I didn’t want one after all.

[@jamesorsby7553]

It's terribly overpriced... you can get the same features for less.

[@dasllamas]

It was probably more than I should have spent on a radio but it did everything my wife wanted

[@BAMaxwell]

@@jamesorsby7553 what are the cheaper alternatives? i've been hesitant to pull the trigger with the $200-400 amazon products or other "sketchy" sites online that offer something similar for much cheaper

[@southpawzoverland]

@@jamesorsby7553 What other radio does vehicle integration? It $1200 in price with other high end radios like the Alpine Halo 11, which wont display your vehicle information or off road pages. No other radio will display up to 8 cameras, for off road use. But I mean if $1200 is too expensive for you, then just say that. Because, Yes there are other nice radios for cheaper, but they do not have the same features.

[@alex1ms]

What other cheaper options should I consider for my 2017 Silverado?

[@Jeff-p4f]

I am looking at adding the fully integrated Heigh 10 to my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock Edition. My question is does it display transmission temperature on the gauge settings? I'm looking at purchasing an offroad camper to pull with the Jeep. I want to be able to monitor the transmission temperature on the highway and off road. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@dasllamas]

Yes it does as well as many other gauges

[@GrapedCrusader]

Have you noticed any map lag (if you’re using Apple CarPlay)? I’ve noticed lots of factory and aftermarket head units have issues with map lag.

[@kikiob3628]

How’s the sound quality? I’ve read some people had issues with the cameras? Considering this ,model so I would like to know.

[@dasllamas]

@kikiob3628 sounds similar to stock. I am not an audiophile so I cant be specific sorry. After having this radio for some time now I feel that it is too expensive for what it is. Menus are slow and some features stopped working. Kinda felt unfinished like it was still in beta testing.

[@Stinger.Solutions]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@Dogman42]

Hey buddy there a device you can buy for around $100 that will let wireless Apple CarPlay work with it in case your interested I think it’s carlink 4.0 or 5.0 both make android or Apple CarPlay wireless hope this helps yeah in not using wireless CarPlay was going to keep me from getting it but now that I can add something to make it wireless compatible I think I’m gonna pull the trigger

[@dasllamas]

Ive seen a few things on amazon that adds this capability. I have not been too disappointed with having to plug in the phone but I do feel for the price of this radio is should have come with wireless support.

[@thedirtgod602]

Do you have to have to registered to the vehicle's VIN number ?

[@dasllamas]

@@thedirtgod602 i did not have to

[@southpawzoverland]

We have 8 cameras connected to ours. Front/Rear/Left and Right Blindside, and 4 Underbody cams with DVR.

[@dasllamas]

That is a heck of a setup

[@southpawzoverland]

@@dasllamas Also just purchased their AudioControl PNW-65CS2 speakers, and a ACX300.4 amp.

[@elpilotodeldesierto3113]

​@southpawzoverland4293 Did yoi get the tailgate mounted sub I'm thinking of getting it

[@southpawzoverland]

@@elpilotodeldesierto3113 Yes we did, I havent installed it yet. Waiting on the amp and wiring kit. We did also install their AudioControl PNW-65CS2 speakers with amp. I have a few friends that have the tailgate sub, an it is really clean and nice. I also have a promo code if you are interested.

[@melg7415]

How is the screen resolution on it ? Mine is really low even looks blurry

[@dasllamas]

The back up camera video is blurry but I have a low res camera. The rest of the apps and stuff are sharp. Not sure what the pixel count is

[@iRelacsashon]

You have an HDMI jack. Like you said yourself, "you can plug a game console here." Xbox/PS = CD player

[@willboyd8021]

Does hdmi work in drive?

[@JaniceGhostHunter13]

I'm really looking at getting this for my Jeep and I know this sounds like a moot point, but how does the iPod setting work? Will it connect an older one via the USB cable? Its important to me because I still have my old 80gb iPod and always use it on road trips. Its sentimental for me, but still important.

[@dasllamas]

I have not tried the radio with any apple devices so unfortunately I cannot answer your question. Works with andriod though.

[@venomrogue1]

I bought this for my 2014 Ram 1500, fully integrated kit. I got it on sale for $999. That was still a little bit above my budget, but an $1800 unit for 40% off..seems to be worth it so far.. I don't have the lag of the menus though. maybe something has updated since your video. I do wish I had the offroad and steering angle screens though.

[@dasllamas]

Ya that offroad stuff came on their more expensive model. Ill check for an update and try it out. I recently lost my ability to monitor engine load guel etc again.

[@stanleyclark4628]

I have one but I don't like the fact that it does not have album display for xm, and its not wireless carplay. Going to sell and go with Alpine ilx F511

[@dasllamas]

I do wish I knew this before we got ours. So far we are still enjoying it but for the price it feels unfunished. Like they got 80% complete and said good enough lets sell it

[@filibertojimenez4089]

Is a great radio installation not cool noyt easy

[@cliftonnash3431]

Is everything you need to install included? Harness, dash kit, etc.

[@dasllamas]

You need to buy the radio and the install kit. It will come with everything if you get these two parts.

[@jim6202]

Does this rattle at all when you are on unpaved/washboard roads?

[@dasllamas]

Have not had any rattle issues. It is a solid mount and finish

[@miguelortiz391]

Hey bud do you have tazer mine in your jeep? And if you do how dose it work together

[@dasllamas]

Tazer mini does not work for the JK

[@815s_Decal_Dude]

Great video, great information, thanks for taking the time to put this together

[@dasllamas]

No problem. Thanks for the comment

[@drptp5017]

How does it sound. Does it sound cheap

[@dasllamas]

It has a lot of sliders to fine tune the sound for the audiophiles out there. The limits for me are the jeeps oem speakers

[@michaelfox3948]

Any update? Has it gotten laggy?

[@dasllamas]

Same as day one. Has aleays been a bit laggy. In the end it is expensive for what it is. Nice features but onlyif you can afford

[@mochafit42]

U need to come to my home and install....lol

[@dasllamas]

Ha. It is a rats nest of wires that is for sure. Everything is still working so i must have done it right

[@Atka1971]

LOL I am looking all over the web for details on a radio upgrade and the Heigh10 was on the list. Well looks like I know a guy! I'll hit you up about your experience with the offroad feature unless you want to give details here.

[@dasllamas]

Over priced is my main complaint. The user interface is slow and clunky at times. Occasional bugs that require a power off and power on to reset.

[@faslas789]

I think it’s interesting it’s all plug and play that’s what your paying for for that one fit

[@dasllamas]

It is a very nice finish but the UI can use some work. It is slow

[@faslas789]

@@dasllamas so do you think other Amazon/Ebay radio units are better?

[@dasllamas]

@faslas789 i have not used the amazon units. This one is nice but for the price id expect a faster system and actually being abale to see album lables. Little things like that

[@Mad21X]

I am seeing this radio on sale rn on Amazon for $599, 25% spring sale….. I am wondering what the catch is. It says it’s from the stinger store full filled by Amazon….. says it’s brand new……. Staring at this like what’s the catch

[@dasllamas]

There are 3 or 4 different models. Not all models have the same options such as the off road pages. Secondly does the one that is on sale on amazon come with the mounting bezel kit, or is it just the radio? Id check the ine that is on sale and compare it to the model that is on their site.

[@Mad21X]

Ok so I compared the store model to the Amazon model and it’s the one without off road maps, does not have the mounting bezel kit. It has all other features….. was listed at $799 and now $599 with the sale…. I just need it first the toslink for my SQ audio system. I don’t need to monitor engine parameters etc. what you think, for the price, is it worth it ?

[@dasllamas]

@Mad21X the mounting kit is needed to install, so it is a cost you will have to spend now or later.

[@Mad21X]

@@dasllamasok so I realized that I didn’t say this, I am from the Caribbean and the vehicle this is going in is a 2012 Toyota Hilux. I sourced the mounting kit for my vehicle and it’s only costing $35.

[@patricksullivan9713]

Good info, thanks

[@RichGurska]

I got 25 seconds into this video and decided that I had to stop to give you a little advice. When speaking to the audience, you need to look at the lens of the camera on your phone, and you need to stop looking at your face on the screen of your phone. When you look at your face on the screen of your phone, it makes me feel like you’re looking over my shoulder and you’re not connecting with me.

[@dasllamas]

Thank you for your advice

[@rgj406]

It's good to know it's not water proof

[@southpawzoverland]

Havent had any issue with ours with top off in wetter conditions

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

as for OffRoad use as in Navigation Apps, Front and Rear Camera and Gauges, How does it compare to the JT factory Carplay 8.4, assuming that is what you have in the JT Gladiator? I like mine in the JLUR 8.4 screen that I can load Gaia apps and more, just having a bigger screen and a Front Camera being High Def would be a plus for me. I don't care about the music part, natures music sounds better to me than most broadcast crap does.

[@dasllamas]

I have the 8.4 in the JT with trail cam. I will NOT be replacing that with the stinger radio. Happy with the stock 8.4

[@LittlefootAdventures]

I do really like the offroad pages. The headings and the evaluation is a neat feature.

[@dasllamas]

Those were some of the bigsellingfeaturesbut the costis still hard to swallow

[@EmannO-m7g]

What is wired

[@thomptc]

Which Model of Heigh 10 is this?

[@dasllamas]

It is the RB10JK11B with the CH1AJKIT integration that gives the offroad pages, gauges, and vehicle info.

[@wolfthemandalorian3328]

Can you change the tire size to correct your mph?

[@dasllamas]

This is just a raduio head unit. It does not have the ability to chance the pcm. You need something like a Tazer to do that

[@bbfoto7248]

@wolfthemandalorian3328 I'm pretty sure that his unit determines your MPH/KPH using GPS, so your tire size is irrelevant.

[@jazham1971]

So, you cannot Bluetooth pandora or Spotify to the unit from a phone? Must have a cable connection to do so?

[@dasllamas]

You can bluetooth

[@timkorn2102]

why don't you have the gauges working? i kinda assumed you don't need to do anything and they would "just work"?

[@dasllamas]

They worked when I installed them have to troubleshoot with stinger. Possibly my poor install and a wire is loose

[@BartonGeoff]

@@dasllamas Did you get this resolved? I'm pretty well ready to pull the trigger, just not sure if I need the extra $200 package for the off road package and gauges. If they aren't super stable, that would be an easy answer.

I had to update to get offroad pages to work

They are constantly making updates and changes, you do not have to do them, but I would recommend it. Its not hard, just buy a cheap little thumbdrive, put the updates on it, then plug it into the height 10 usb.
