DON'T FORGET!

Thank you all for tuning in and the kind words! Can't wait to show you what is next on the Jeep build, and continue to wrap up the Jetta!
Companies that have that service after the sale are the ones that grow a following. These guys have that from the start. Well thought out and comprehensive video support through out. Oh yeah, that’s good stuff. Good video Mark. Showing wire routing and tie ups. I like the routing help. Having few if none power crossings. It’s good to have power and line wire separated. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
@@CarAudioFabrication, sometimes that happens. This company seems to have a lot going for them. Their forward thinking and the support mechanism they have in their product is both refreshing and very helpful to anyone who uses their site. Other companies could benefit from their example. This is what I call doing it right from the get go! Enjoy it Mark. This radio is a winner. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
well, this proves it Your phone is listening to you Just bought a JT and was lamenting the quality of the radio while I was driving home. First video that shows up on my feed. And yeah, I'm buying this stereo
My girlfriend getting a Jeep soon , one thing I wanted her to get was the 8inch upgraded infotainment system, after watching this we can save about 600 dollars and get this which is much nicer and looks factory , great job to the engineering team at stinger for this one , unbelievable!!
Not sure if that's their intention, but I love how some of those plugs are recessed into the unit so you don't have to worry about bending or damaging the plugs during fitting.
This might be the first time I've heard someone praise built-in navigation versus mobile-based navigation. Living in Houston, there's always road construction or new neighborhoods being built so the built-in maps become outdated after about a year. Android Auto and Apple Carplay saved the day more often than not. :) Loving this video BTW!!
Mobile phone Nav will always be superior with the instant updates.... until you don't have cell phone service out in the sticks and have no idea where you are. Built in nav comes in great for that situation as noted in the video
@@treycranson I think it comes in handy when driving in the mountains, here in Colorado we dint get cell service once we reach a certain elevation, only way to get navigation is with an integrated gps system.
What no one talks about. Is the fact u have to spend another 179 on the sd card to use the navigation. And another 68 bucks on the xm module to use xm radio. And don’t show how to hook it up. It’s a great radio but these things should be made more clear to the customer.
We have a 19' Rubicon with the 8.4" screen and alpine factory sound system. I'd say we are content with it for now. Nice to see another option out there when it's time to upgrade. Can't wait to see what you do for speakers. I was a little disappointed when I found out they went with smaller speakers in this generation of Wrangler.
Was looking into getting one of these! So glad to see someone who knows their stuff covering it! Most of these Jeep RUclipsrs don't have the first clue about the specifics of the product, this thing looks awesome.. The other options on the market are either WAY to MUCH or crappy looking. The font of the "Insane Audio" one alone makes me throw up a little. This Stinger is very nicely done and a great price point.
@@CarAudioFabrication atm I'm just working on my 92 crown vic build. The custom builds have definitely given me a lot of ideas. Gonna try to work in some fiberglass enclosures. Been a fan for a long time. Keep up the great work!
I've been looking for a high quality review on this item for a while now and i'm very glad i'm already subscribed...Thank you very much for the video...
I just had this installed on in my 2021 Wrangler Rubicon yesterday, including the integration kit. So far, its running well and really looking forward to having this system. Its really feature rich compared to my 7" unit.
Our 2018 Rubicon has had never ending problems electrically and we believe heat caused a stereo head unit malfunction. Our screen delaminated and has caused can bus issues as well. Thank you for this tutorial. I’ll let you know how ours works when we get it and install.
Mike Miller I used a 2 channel patch cable straight from the head unit to the amp. Has the connections ready to go for subwoofer amp. Plug and play. I tapped into my side fuse panel for the remote turn off.
I left the car audio installation biz in the '90's because vehicles were getting more complicated to install. Auto manufacturers made aftermarket installations much more difficult and factory units were getting better. These newer "black boxes" are awesome. A little expensive, but made wiring and integration much much easier. The industry did not even make factory radio harnesses when I started installing in the '80's. Lol.
@@chuckw6099 Me too. I installed in the '80's & early '90's. No harnesses needed and you could make your own kits. I then worked for /////ALPINE for almost 10 years and and started another career when I saw the end of 12v profitability . I still install 'on the side' and recently installed a X409-WRA-JL for a friend. Nice unit. I sometimes miss the old days and definitely don't miss needing the right firmware to get aftermarket products to work.
I’m so excited about this Jeep build, the OEM head unit and speakers in Jeep’s are terrible. Really quality videos you take ur time on each video, give detailed and useful information, and really capture the functionality of the product. Keep it up!
I actually have a new heigh 10 for sale because I don't want to take out my RSX-Gs9. For some reason no one has purchased it in three months and I have it for only $900. Maybe everyone needs to see this video to understand how awesome it really is
Another thing that just impressed me how did that capture you're jeep like that that is so cool especially with the back up camera being outside wow I have never seen anything like this before.
I still have my 5" radio on my jeep gladiator 2020 . Your presentation just convinced me ...Awesome job I will have to contact stinger and get me one . Thank you 😊
What are your thoughts on the handsfree quality on the Stinger? We just picked up a 2020 Jeep Wrangler and looking to have the local car audio install the Stinger and new Alpine Speakers. Thinking about adding an amp and sub, but not sure I want to spend the extra $$$. Thanks
I will never understand how all of these aftermarket units can retain all of the canbus settings and connectivity but every single one of them requires an additional microphone and GPS antenna. You can connect to all of the vehicle settings, no excuse for not retaining the the factory mic and GPS antenna.
I can already tell you what the best 0-60 time on the JL Wrangler will read SLOW! 🤣I also believe the reason the direction of travel is not showing on the Driver Information Center is due to the Can Bus system in most cars. Hopefully one of the manufacturers of vehicle integration will crack the Can Bus system this year! 🤞
I installed this screen yesterday by a professional. But today i found my music volume remains half than before. Very disappointed. I did every setting in music setting. But it does not work. I have one doubt. The one who installed this screen he gave option of carplay in another usb port. Maybe this is the reason. Kindly help me.
With the option of an integration kit, they need to slim down what actually comes with the Elev8 or High10. Just the 2 main components. This would keep costs down. Optionally, just another part# for both with this option.
By far the best aftermarket replacement I have seen yet. I wonder if they will offer a wrangler 392 compatible option. As I believe it has a few other pages but I may be mistaken. Mine hasn’t arrived yet so I’ll have to look into it more.
Great Video as always! been wondering though, do you have any videos going in depth on ports? Such as calculating how much port area you might need or what the differences between different styles of ports are? Ive been looking for a video like that but I don't think you've made one yet. :(
Looks like a great system, I see a dash kit for a 14-18 Silverado but almost no info on it! I'm confused why this product isn't more available on the market. Wish you weren't sponsored on this to get your 100% opinion on how this android based system works.
I have the Heigh10 installed but CarPlay isn't working. It reads usb drive but when I connect my iPhone with wire it connects and disconnects immediately in both usb slots. Any idea what it could be?
Honestly that does look like a damn good stereo probably goes loud and bumps real good however I think a lot of the stuff that come with it should have already been built in the unit I mean that's a BB lot of stuff I don't think I'd invest in that kind even tho I do like touch screens I'm sure it was well over a grand.
Are you still enjoying this? I am pretty much sold on it, just need to save some moolah for it. I really don't have any issues with the 7" screen itself but the audio quality and power delivered from it is absolutely abysmal. I knew it going in, and should have gotten the premium audio package, but when you live with it day to day its a bit ridiculous for a near 55k vehicle to have that awful of a sound system. Appreciate the video!

Trust me, it’s still very difficult to put the head unit in without bending wires. My HDMI came out of the PAC 3 times while putting it in.

I was on the fence put this video pushed over. Ordering it right away. The main selling point was keeping all the vehicle settings.
Please do a speaker upgrade on the jeep wrangler jl. You would get so many views on that.
He did for the jk ruclips.net/video/J30JWkw4Irw/видео.html
+1 I really want to do a speaker upgrade but have no idea where to start.

Why wait for Christmas
The auto start stop memory feature is icing on the 🎂 for me. I'm sold.
Humm very interesting, I kinda like that remote head option better then the alpine ILX halo
The favorite upgrade to my Jeep so far!!
Highly recommend the Heigh10!!

How has it been?
Do you have an eight month update?
Any update?
Very bold of you to assume we can find our 10mm socket
Usually next to the wire extender and 6x9 holesaw
I’ve seen them talk about integration hell, but this seems like integration heaven...

Thoroughly described and explained the installation process.
I just put this in my 2014 Silverado, and it’s amazing!
How do you add the sub-wolfer to this? Is it done by signal or speaker wire.
Mike Miller I used a 2 channel patch cable straight from the head unit to the amp. Has the connections ready to go for subwoofer amp. Plug and play. I tapped into my side fuse panel for the remote turn off.

I'm an installer and I cannot wait until digital audio becomes the standard. I know so many installers that are "afraid" of digital.
This is a great upgrade for those who have the small screen. I like the 8 inch screen that came with the factory rubicon.

This thing is awesome! I wish it had this level of support for my car.
very nice review. wish there was one for a silverado to see whats retained and whats lost.
They have one for gmc/silverado and it retains everything. I just bought mine last week
@@1deep357 do you still have the exterior temperature readout?
Beautiful and well put together review of this system and installation process. It is VERY helpful. Thank you much!
Welcome to the Jeep life!
Continuation of the Jeep life, but thanks!
No wireless car play?
That is how those wranglers should have came from the factory!
Have the unit setting in a box for my JT. Wish I had seen the video before buying for the discount. Excellent coverage of installation and use.
Is the gps installation necessary if I use CarPlay ?
Need this for my Jeep 🥴
Thank you for doing this. My 2020 jlu sport needs upgrade. But 1500. Nope
Good video...I installed this unit the other day...awesome!

I just ordered one can’t wait to get it in. Net thing will be to upgrade the speakers and maybe add a little sub.

I will never understand how all of these aftermarket units can retain all of the canbus settings and connectivity but every single one of them requires an additional microphone and GPS antenna. You can connect to all of the vehicle settings, no excuse for not retaining the the factory mic and GPS antenna.
Right, this confuses me as well... Somewhere else I read that the integration harness is so that you don't need to remove those things.
I will gladly pay someone to do this 😁
I take it there is no wireless Apple and Android play
The way you sounded in the beginning I thought I was watching Doug DeMuro auto reviews
Can you stream video? Like hulu, netflix or RUclips. Is the android auto and car play wired or can it work wireless?
I can already tell you what the best 0-60 time on the JL Wrangler will read SLOW! 🤣I also believe the reason the direction of travel is not showing on the Driver Information Center is due to the Can Bus system in most cars. Hopefully one of the manufacturers of vehicle integration will crack the Can Bus system this year! 🤞
Wish they had this type kit for Jeep Grand Cherokee
I have this Stinger in my 3rd Gen Tacoma it doesn't have all these optional features for the Tacoma

Nice video, definitely the nicest looking screen Out there. Just letting you know the discount code did not work though.
Can you show the install for a 2018 ram I just got the unit and want to make sure it goes in right
how does the screen do with heat and condensation from the air vents being so close
Only 2500$ CAD. -.- really nice head unit, not sure i would pay that if i had the 8.4" screen, if i had the 5 or the 7inch id consider it.
Your logo background is very busy!! 😜
I like it. If you don't you can change it when you get yours.
One hell of an impressive unit. Too bad it's not waterproof. That's a deal breaker for me since my top is off from late spring to mid fall.
@@takinourtoysandlivin Thanks for the tip on Insane Audio! Though, I don't think $1,400.oo is in my price range.
What about the USB in the backseat? Does that still work? Can you still charge your phone? No one talks about that.
With the option of an integration kit, they need to slim down what actually comes with the Elev8 or High10. Just the 2 main components. This would keep costs down. Optionally, just another part# for both with this option.

Got a 2012 jeep wrangler I'm wanting to change my radio so bad
Is there the rear door sensor too on the screen picture
Does this retain the factory amplifier of the premium sound system?
Great Video as always!
been wondering though, do you have any videos going in depth on ports? Such as calculating how much port area you might need or what the differences between different styles of ports are? Ive been looking for a video like that but I don't think you've made one yet. :(
I have a 2014 silverado and am getting this unit installed next week. they make a flush mount kit for silverados.
Hey, thanks for the video. How's the radio holding up?
Why can’t you use your own GPS antenna from the jeep?
Looks like a great system, I see a dash kit for a 14-18 Silverado but almost no info on it! I'm confused why this product isn't more available on the market. Wish you weren't sponsored on this to get your 100% opinion on how this android based system works.
I fell in love with that Heigh10! I wonder if they have a more customisable solution for a classic car.
Yes, you can use the HEIGH10 stand alone. Also check out the ELEV8
Looking forward this this build 👌
I couldn’t get my panel where the start button is to go back flush. Anyone else have a little gap on the top side ?
$1600+...... goddamn!
Does this allow for installing other android apps (not android auto apps)? Or are you locked into this interface?
I have the Heigh10 installed but CarPlay isn't working. It reads usb drive but when I connect my iPhone with wire it connects and disconnects immediately in both usb slots. Any idea what it could be?
🎄 Looks like Christmas came early? 😲
Did you run into issues getting the guidelines to display in the rearview camera? If so how did you fix it?
Great Video. Your link for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler says coming soon. It seems to out of stock everywhere. I really wish I was able to order one.
Question. Trying to decide between the stinger heigh10 and the alpine restyle i407-wra-JL. Any thoughts on that?
Im just curious about how this sounds versus the Alpine
Any chance getting wireless android auto or apple carplay on soon?
Honestly that does look like a damn good stereo probably goes loud and bumps real good however I think a lot of the stuff that come with it should have already been built in the unit I mean that's a BB lot of stuff I don't think I'd invest in that kind even tho I do like touch screens I'm sure it was well over a grand.

Are you in AZ? Let's get that jeep lifted!
or, you could trade it in on a 2024 where the factory radio takes up half the dash.
