STINGER HEIGH10 Wrangler JK Stereo Replacement 10" HD Touchscreen Radio with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Handsfree Bluetooth, Dual USB Includes All-in-one Dash Kit & Interface, 2007-2018 (STH10JK)

INSTRUCTIONS: are simplified for just about anyone with little knowledge of basic wiring/electronics.AUDIO:Sound Quality is excellent! Plenty of options with EQ & time alignment.SCREEN: it’s BIG not too much but just right, Image quality is crisp and bright, touchscreen response is dead on.BLUETOOTH/CARPLAY: both work perfectly. No problems connecting or with functionality.CAMERAS:The side camera feature is really nice, the image takes over the whole screen when the camera pops on after the blinker is turned on. It would be nice if it only used half of the screen so you could still see Maps ect... It would be awesome if they did camera stitching with all 4 cameras while you backup.INTERFACE:I’m one of those people that likes lots of features and customizable settings. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. You can change the color of the lights on the buttons and choose from a handful of backgrounds and that’s about it. You can’t add any additional apps.The Radio software needed to be updated, doing it isn’t hard you just need a USB memory stick and just follow the instructions on their website. It’s definitely worth it cause you get more features and they cleaned up the interface.

This radio is awesome original connect radio doesn’t compare. Being that my wife’s Jeep is manual plugged it up per instructions but radio only functioned when key was in acc mode. When the key was in the on/run position it would cut off: after hours of troubleshooting verifying wires were connected correctly. Disconnected reverse wire from the harness and it works flawlessly. It has an abundant amount of features and capabilities.

Installed this unit in my 2013 Jeep JK a few weeks ago and we are quite disappointed in its functionality.Installation was pretty straightforward with several videos available and descent instructions. The only hiccup was during wire pairing, the instructions called for a light green wire and green wire but both were the same green color so I had to do some digging to determine what "green" wire needed to be connected. Having a background in mechanics and electronics it only took a few minutes but could be problematic for those that do not have that skill set. The SiriusXM ready is also very misleading. Although it has the plugin you have to purchase additional equipment for it to work as you cannot plug it into the existing SiriusXM antenna that is already in the Jeep.Once installed I fired it up and was quickly disappointed. The screen size is great but lacks aesthetics resembling a Windows 93 format that has not been updated since. The Apple CarPlay is very temperamental and does not work correctly (at least on my unit) and If I desire to listen to a podcast I have to start it in Bluetooth mode and then connect it to the system via the lighting cable to play. The system will show the icons and allow you to select the podcast via Carplay but it will not play.I use Waze navigation and it works quite well but routinely gets hung up and I have to close it out on my phone for it to work properly.All in all, we are very disappointed in this product and regret purchasing it and considering reinstalling the factory unit. Another issue is that the videos tell you to remove the old metal bracket in the back but the problem is that it has an arm that accepts a 7mm screw from under the rubber cover in the center of the console and if you remove the bracket you lose that mounting point and the dash can move if you grab it. Now, with that being said, I don't know too many folks that will yank on the dash routinely but my OCD keeps irking me that it will still move. One workaround that I have considered is cutting the bracket so only the top pylon is left and remounting it so the screw mounting point is available but don't know if it will interfere with the new unit. That will be a prospect worth considering if we don't revert back to the old unit.If you purchase this unit I hope your experience is better than mine. It could just be that my expectations were quite high due to the cost but unlikely.

Overall, I'm very happy with the Stinger system. Performance is much better than stock (as you would hope for 1000 bucks), but there are some things that weren't documented - or are hidden in the fine print - that may sway your decision to go with this solution. My objective for this radio was to add CarPlay, retain steerin functionality, improve sound, and add some external cameras to my Jeep.I installed this system on a 2016 JKU with a Alpine Upgraded factory system. The system I went with was this STH10JK version of the kit, which includes the PAC tuner interface RP4-CH11, mounting brackets, USB socket replacement kit, antenna extension, and wiring harness.This is NOT the SR-JK11H kit. Which streamlines installation for JK 2011-18 models and includes the custom bezel for the screen and readymade plug-n-play harnesses(and is likely the first view video installation guide's you'll come across on the interwebs.)This means you're going to have to do build the wiring harness yourself. Not that big of an issue for anyone whose prepared to install their own stereo. But this was the first thing that would have been nice to know.The kit is VERY EXCELLENTLY documented. Just read ALL the instructions.Second thing that's important to know is that if you are installing, like me, into an upgraded factory system WITH amplifier, you are not going to be able to utilize the full spectrum of audio balance and equalizer provided by the UN1810 head unit. (this took a call to Tech Support to figure out.) Due to the way the OEM radio talks to the OEM Amplifier (CANBus), some of the crossover functionality isn't supported. And due to the same limitation, fading between front and back speakers isn't supported. So as long as you leave the fader centered - you'll get nice sound, but not fully customizable. [Fading sound balance backward in the vehicle reduces the output to all speakers.] You can install a aftermarket amplifier to return this functionality but this will take rewiring (and extra investment.) ** Want to underscore this will not be limitation for the non-factory amplifier installed jeep owner. **Third, installing this system will completely disable the center console data port. You may be able to re-route the USB with an extension (there are two USB ports on the head unit) but doing so will render one of the two 'new' USB connections on the dash un-usable. Next weekend's project will be finding some way to restore the center console USB it as a USB charging port only.... but it would have been good to know before hand.Fourth, only one of the two ports is Android Auto/ CarPlay compatible. Again, not a huge deal, but would have been nice to know.Some of the less documented features: HDMI input (if you want to run a Raspberry Pi/XBox/DVD player or whatever.) RCA inputs (choose your own input adventure for external players laserdisk/DAT/whatever). A metric TON (well, four at least) of VIDEO inputs for external cameras.System update is a pretty painless process. 4GB USB with zipped update image downloaded from Stinger's website.While the User Interface is fairly well featured, there are some things that I wish were more customizable (like hiding tabs/icons that you don't use (looking at you, Navigation and Favorites) but I hope they continue to update the product.The UN1810's operating system is built on Android OS so I'm hopeful.CarPlay colors on the screen seem to be, as has been mentioned, a bit washed out. Unfortunately I don't think there's a setting available that fixes that.Final word: This version of the kit is fairly straight-forward install for folks with some experience in installing consumer aftermarket electronics. Performance is solid. Display is very nice looking. It met my objectives of 1) adding CarPlay to my Jeep, 2) retaining steering controls 3) adding external cameras and 4) improving the sound system (mostly) so I'm happy.I'm not sure its worth the MSRP, but there are limited options in this arena that accomplish the task (Insane Audio, and the Alpine WRA series) and this is the best value among a very limited competitive field.
