It is nice to see the Stinger team supporting older model Jeeps!
Just did the installation last night on my JKU. This video is a must, itâs like having someone looking over your shoulder so you donât screw it up. Great Job Stinger.
This is by far one of the best install tutorials i have ever watched.
I installed mine a year ago, and still come back, as i am still upgrading the system. This videos are the best!
Love all the features that the Heigh10 provides. The kit includes everything needed. Which makes the install nice and simple.
Can not wait to get the heigh10 installed in my rig. It is going to bring my interior up to date. plus, all the functionality is amazing.
Very nice. đ The installer makes this installation look so easy. I can't wait to get my unit installed.
Great video! Used this video to assist with my install! Great job Stinger Offroad! Killer product!
That's great!!! This is why we make them. So happy to hear it helped!!!
Great install video, definitely helped with my install.
Great video, definitely helps with upgrading my system
Awesome video, very helpful, will use this for my install.
Super easy and great instructions via video
I can't wait to upgrade my stock radio to this!! Hopefully very soon!
Best Stereo that I have purchased in such a longtime, I have now since then become a brand ambassador for Stinger....
Glad to hear, and happy to have you on board
Just installed the 6.8â double din on my buddys JK. Itâs a nice affordable option but I personally like the heigh10 much more
crispp video great angles!! idk why 10:18 is so hilariouss
Looking forward to upgrading my stereo. âïž
This made my install very easy! I was able to follow it step by step and save me a lot of time during my install. Thanks guys!
Excellent excellent video
Simply Awesome!
awesome video
That is nice radio
Well made instructional!
That helps out alot
Great video just got mine took me a while to put in but all good.
Only question..
my backup camera works however not sure show to have the backup guide lines viewable on the screen
The HEIGH10 itself does not have parking lines that can be turned on/off in the unit, so the camera you have connected much have them or the ability to turn them on/off in it.
Can you dim the display for night time!
Will this kit work on a 2014 Rubicon JKU with the Factory-Upgraded Premium Navi System? Iâm troubleshooting an M13 parasitic draw problem and kinda hoping itâs my Navi/amp system. No. Seriously. LOL Please advise âŠ
Looks easy enough
Nice!
Perfect video. Thank you! I have a 2018 JK two door base Sport with no subwoofer as well. Will the installation and wiring be the exact same as this JK? Also, where your 12v connector is I have just the generic âhookâ piece that can pop right out. Will this system come with the USB connector and will it fit just as well in this hole as is does for your original 12v connector hole? Thanks!
Yes, your install will be the same. The hook is a larger hole so it will not fit the USB replacement piece.
@@StingerOffRoad Thank you. Iâd hate to lose my 12v outlet. Maybe I can figure out a way to fill in the extra space.
Wonder if I can upgrade to this unit from an Alpine WRA first generation.
I just had the Heigh10 installed this weekend and have a 2016 JK with the factory OEM Alpine system. Is there anyway to confirm if the installer connected it to the amplifier correctly? Also, any EQ setting you would suggest?
The harness is plug and play, so if you have audio in all sources and when on Bluetooth calls, it is correctly connected. The factory amplifier only has 2 channels of input, so while all speakers will play, you will not have fader control with this or any aftermarket radio.
Iâm looking to buy the HEIGH10 10" Radio Kit with HD Night Vision Backup Camera for a 2014 Jeep model. Do I need the integration upgrade kit as well? Just want to make sure!
The CH1AJKIT upgrade adds the vehicle info, gauges, and off road tabs to an existing HEIGH10 that has been installed in a 2011-18 Wrangler JK. It is not required, but will give you some additional, cool features. The RB10JK11K radio replacement package that is available has the upgrade included with it already.
Does this head unit offer a TV tuner option? My current unit does but I would like the bigger screen size.
There is not a specific TV tuner for it, but is has both standard composite RCA type A/V inputs and an HDMI input
How long would you say the USB replacement wiring is? I have heated seats wired to the cigarette lighter and canât use this location to mount the USB so Iâll need to relocate it.
The SSUSB2 that is included with the kit is 4ft in length. We wouldn't recommend going much longer than that with the USB length, just to avoid possible issues with data transfer rate when using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto thru the port.
Would love to find out. But been out of stock forever

I hate to be negative, but this guy makes it look easy, Iâm struggling with a lot of parts that donât fit the way they should I canât install the heigh10 display because the 4 silver screws donât align properly
How did you get it cause Iâm struggling mad hard
@@carsonpayne266 I actually used nuts as spacers, and installed it that way. I did speak to one of the guys and they told me I have to put a lot of pressure on the screen, I told them I felt like I was gonna crack my screen and he still suggested I used extreme force to have it clip on. I also suggest you move your seats back and sit on your arm rest, thatâs how I ended up feeling more comfortable adding that extra pressure on both sides and makes it much easier to see both sides
@@hersonvalle I appreciate your quick response! I took your advice and used extreme pressure. It worked. Scared I was going to destroy the screen. I also used spacers and that helped. They really should have added a little more metal on those brackets.
@@carsonpayne266 my pleasure, I agree with the plates not being thick enough. Hope you enjoy yours as much as Iâve enjoyed mine. By the way if you wanted to get the back up camera you only need the camera so if Iâm not mistaken. Itâs like 65 dollars it comes with the bracket and a quick install . Donât get the super expensive kit. Itâs on the website
@@hersonvalle do you know of a link for it?
Can you add aux out put for amplifier or subwoofer?
The unit has 3 sets of RCA outputs, front, rear and subwoofer for adding additional amplifiers.
Does the 7mm bolt on the top of dash hold the brain? Previous radio installer removed the bracket on mine do I need it??
No, it doesn't hold the brain. âș
About to install this and stingers spare tire backup cam into my 2016 jk this wkd. As itâs laid out here, will the camera automatically come on screen when I put the Jeep in reverse or do I need to tap the reverse wire into the camera trigger wire?
As long as your JK has an automatic transmission the interface picks up that signal on the CAN network and the trigger is sent to the HEIGH10. If it is manual transmission, You will need to tap the white/gray wire that goes down the passenger side to the reverse lights, and tie that to the HEIGH10's purple/white reverse trigger in the main 16 pin power connector.
Awesome. Thanks!
What is the brand of back up camera used and any other option you adapted?
The cameras used in our videos are Echomaster brand. We sell some of them on Stinger Off Road, and others can be found on www.echomaster.com
Do the stinger have wifi where you can update it without a thumb drive
You do need to do the updates with a USB drive, the unit does not have wifi.
This unit looks fantastic. I hate mystery rattles. There seems to be an abundance of extra cables pushed in behind; anyone have any issues with rattling, tapping, etc.? Thanks
If there are harnesses you don't need you can leave them out of the dash. Also using zip ties to keep all the wiring together is an option. We haven't received complaints of rattles with the kit or the wiring.
Thatâs a ton of extra wiring on that harness
How can I connect my iPhone with the carplay since I can't find the way, could you please help me!
Hello Juan,
You need to be plugged in via the USB to use CarPlay.
Cant wait to put this in the wifes jeep
Quick stupid question, do I gotta plug in the amplified cable if itâs aftermarket? Or leave it as non amplified?
You don't need to worry about that plug because all of your speakers are running off the aftermarket amplifier. That plug is for installing to the factory amplified system.
@@StingerOffRoad I kinda thought so, thank you! I will be installing mine soon so I donât want to have to tare the whole dash down twice over a cable connection; thank you for the reply! đ
does it show the blindspot camera view when the signal lights are engaged?
A blindspot/sideview camera kit can be added and tied into the additional camera inputs, yes.
can the factory bluetooth microphone be used?
Unfortunately the factory microphones will only work with the factory radio. We do include an external microphone that can be used, or the internal microphone mounted in the HEIGH10 screen itself works for many of our customers as well.
this complete unit comes with the frame and plastic cases? this correct ?
Yes, the kit comes with the 10" infotainment system the frame and wiring to complete the install.
Does the HDMI and the Sirus XM adapter come with the unit?
You will need to purchase the HDMI cable and SiriusXM SXV300V1 tuner separately.
@@StingerOffRoad what if my car currently has Sirius xm
@@keithowens3473 did you figure this out? I have factory XM and at a standstill installing it
Where can I get the wire harness at? What's its called I'm gonna go to a simple olk skool radio not touch screen
The radio replacement interface used with the HEIGH10 kit is a RP4-CH11 by PAC Audio. It can be found at local PAC Audio dealers, using the link below.

I would love to add Sirius/XM. Is that possible?
Yes the HEIGH10 units are Sirius XM ready! For more information visit this link: bit.ly/3TxCcpA and for any further questions feel free to reach out to our technical support team at 1-800-477-2267 EXT: 2285
Would you be able to retrofit a jeep wrangler 2010 to make this fit
Unfortunately, the dash trim that comes with this radio replacement package is specific to the 2011-18 Wrangler JK models. We have a floating style radio replacement kit that will work in all 2007-18 Wrangler JKs linked below.

@@StingerOffRoad Thank you so much! I just left a shop and they wanted to charge $3300 for the unit and install. I may purchase directly from you guys and follow your DIY videos
Have the released this kit for the 2010 jk wrangler yet??
Yes, it's available here stingeroffroad.com/collections/shop-by-jeep-model/products/rb10jk11b
@@StingerOffRoad It doesn't say for the 2010, will this still fit the 2010.. is everything included for the install like brackets etc? That link states 2011 to 2018... "JEEP WRANGLER JK (2011-2018) RADIO REPLACEMENT KIT - INCLUDES 10-INCH TOUCHSCREEN RADIO & PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALLATION."
Be great if my uconnect module was there đ
Can someone in the stinger company please tell me when my apple and Android auto looks very washed out. I adjusted the screen as much as possible itâs still very washed out. Perhaps either itâs a lemon or itâs in need of a replacement thanks for reading and responding
Hello,
CarPlay and Android Auto apps dictate the way they are scaled based on the screen resolution. This isn't a display issue or you would have this look on all sources.
Iâve watched and rewatched the video, disconnected and reconnected everything and mine still wonât power up. Canât get through to technical support and no one has called me back. Any suggestions?
I apologize you couldn't reach us, there have been some phone issues. Please send an email to support@stingeroffroad or give us a call now if you still need assistance.
I am having the same issue. I really hope it is something simple but I spent 6 hours uninstalling and reinstalling everything and nothing I do lets it power up. Did you find a solution?
Any help Iâm having display problems I have to keep turn my Jeep on and off then the radio will play with the screen blacked out and when I turn my Jeep off an power back on no radio black screen I Watch multiple videos installing and uninstalling no changes
does the unit allow to hot spot off a phone?
Our unit does not have WiFi built in. If you want to mirror your phone to the screen you can go through the available HDMI port.
So a quick question to anyone that has this radio
I just purchased a 2017 jeep and it has this radio but the camera flashes off and on saying signal loss. Anyone have this issue and can the radio be taken out without breaking it? Thanks.
Hello, please contact support@aampglobal.com or call 727-732-3114 for technical questions. Thank you!
Still you can use steering control?
Yes, the factory steering wheel mounted audio controls will still work
Compre este estereo u la verdad ea muy facil de istalar pero apenas tengo menos de un mes con el y ya me esta fallando es mucho dinero para que esto este pasando
Is there a way to cut down the Stinger load screen delay when you initially turn the vehicle on?
I have the same problem here! Where you able to fix it?
@@ncaproductions1070 Negative... they do do firmware updates... hopefully it's on their roadmap
Ya les mande un correo espero que me contesten pronto
If you struggle to activate Android auto, make sure the vehicle is on auxiliary, in park, with the e-brake engaged.
Does it integrate the vehicle information on JK like the way it does for JL? Can you monitor tire pressure, coolant tempeture on the radio if it's installed on a JK? Also, can you completely turn off the screen when driving? Thanks!
Hello Kenneth,
The integrated information is exclusive to the JL kit. You can turn the display completely off.
@@StingerOffRoad I see! Any plans on adding that to the JK? My current head unit shows tire pressure, as well as piggybacking other informations from the OBD port. I would love to get this unit but definitely donât want to loose those features
@@RVingTheCountry Oh wow, 400 dollars for a trim piece... Yeah it's pretty absurd that they're not even working on it for the JK considering how many people owns JK. I hope your installation goes well! Let me know what you think of it after installation! I don't think I'm going to buy it unless they add the vehicle information feature for the JKs. My current head unit does all that and It'd be like paying to lose those features.
@@Gnaw85 what unit do you have that has the features?
@@SAfirefighter I currently have the 7â Alpine i207-WRA which has that feature. Mine is quite old and Iâve had it for years. I believe all Alpineâs Jeep Wrangler specific radios have that feature. The only downside is their larger 9â radios requires you to do permanent modifications to your dash.
How do I know if my jeep is amplified or not?
Do you see the Alpine logo anywhere or have a subwoofer in the back?
@@StingerOffRoad no
This cĂĄmara work in manual jeep?
Reverse cameras will work in a manual transmission Wrangler as well. You will need to grab the reverse trigger in the passenger kickpanel or at the reverse light itself to trigger the radio, as we are not able to pick that up on the CAN network like we can an automatic transmission vehicle.
My steering wheel control donât work anyone come across this issue and figured out a solution
Is this device still avalible?

Is this waterproof?
The HEIGH10 is not water resistant or water proof.
Wasn't this easy for me nothing lined up as this video shows... top bolt on the upper dash didn't line up, monitor bracket didn't lock on dash trim and had a lot of trouble getting the mounting screws to seat
yea, me too - it's the foam lining. I was able to push it off to the side and it finally lined up. Good lord - I almost destroyed the display unit trying to get it to sit correctly.
@@TeamZissou88 I added some shims behind the mount screws to push the whole thing forward about 1/4 inch. That was all I needed to do to get things to seat properly. They should include a shim kit with the upgrade installation.
@@TeamZissou88 any suggestions on getting it to set in? Iâve been trying for hours now
@@christophermikec4221 so I really had to push the foam in from the side - which was what was blocking the unit from perfectly lining up to the bracket holes to the display unit screws that are flush to the display unit channeling.
I was really starting to worry about the dash it should snap to. Additionally, I flexed / pushed the snapping clips from the display unit bracket to make them less rigid so they could cling to the dash without so much force.
Stinger is gonna have a lot of people in the same boat. Im fairly certain I did minor damage to the display unit LCD screen because of the amount force required to make the display unit even close to lining up with the screws
@@TeamZissou88 thank you for the help man!
The radio is not working
