Soundstream isn't off brand. They've been around for years. Their amps and subs are some of the best.. I still have a 1500 watt amp that I've had for over a decade.
Yes the apps are not as sharp looking as other radios( alpine pioneer) I like it first off-brand radio i've ever owned, and it did meet all the rated specs on the advertised specs
Great review bro! This just moved to the top of my wishlist. One question, do you know if there is a way to change the color theme or design of the UI? Not a big fan of all the colors. Thanks again for a great review. 👍🏾
I realize that this car has an automatic, but how far does the bottom screen come out towards the shifter? I have a 2005 Mustang 5 speed and wonder if it would be in the way in 1st, 3rd and 5th gears? Thanks
The phone updates make mirroring work and then not work after every phone upgrade I’d recommend using a radio like the Kenwood DDX9707 or 9907XR with WiFi the screen casting is wireless and works better with phone updates
Hi m8 i have one of these stereos i cant find any speaker fade adjustments and was wondering if you found any or it dosent have it witch is crazy every stereo has speaker fade front rear left right etc
EpicMike i was going to scrap the video bc of it. I even made a point at the end to say screw it ill redo it. Lol trust me my 1st review sucks i see that. But as many views as its got ill keep it and do another one.
Johannes Jarnæs if its closed when you turn car off it wull remain closed until you activate it. If its open when car goes off it will automatically open when ignition is activated. But yes it can be set to stay closed.
Jorge Magana Hey boss would this fit a bmw 335i without idrive the stereo is like half an inch deep under the climate vents i am curious to know how far out the unit is and how far from the double din adapter the top screen goes ,i dont want to buy the product and Then not be able to open the top screen
You can buy the German kit that allows you to cut the air Box and remold A new cover and at that point any double din will flush in. Of course I didn't ask what year? At most likely the answer is yes however that car calls for like 8 hours for the labor alone.
Quick4A6 Decent yes depends mostly on series. This companies upper end is nice. The entry level series is same as power acoustik with better more accurate rms numbers. The micro amps are powerful and clean but Soundstream does best on SPL lines while the sister Precision Power brand does better with power class series in door speakers and phantom amp line. Just stay away from Aracnid line.
Because it won't support Android phones above 7.0 This is what makes this head unit worthless for me. No Android and only works up to 7.0 for mirroring so you can't even have waze or any other app without your phone and if you update your phone it's over.
Baltimore md it has an av input. You can add a source. So a universal car based one sure however they don't work well while moving. I'd go with apple tv or something like a roku
Yes it does as I’ve stated it’s a few years old now and I sold the car a while ago. I’m not sure how the updates will have effected new radio options since my video
Yes I sold the car. My installer bought it now has it in his Tahoe. I’d recommend using a WiFi unit like a DDX9907XR with screen casting as Pioneer Kenwood JVC Etc all have updates faster than these off brands but the unit is solid as a nav and dvd player
Make sure Epsilon is going to continue supporting updates. The downside is when a phones security is updated the mirroring stops working. Wireless carplay with screen mirroring built in May be a better solution these days. Or run a radio with HDMI and you can wire a Roku or Apple TV into it as well.
Hey if you still have it how has it been? I am looking for a radio because I want something different then my double din JVC and thinking of this or either a single din Flip out and wanna know how this one has held up.
I sold the car its still working that i know of. Its i its 3rd vehicle now but i no longer have this radio. The linkswell product is more like what i want now bc it has carplay and android as well as internet capabilities. I use the Kenwood 9906XR in my veloster nd it does Screen Mirror as well. This unit needs an update too often to keep up. It was a great concept but epsilons tech support is slow to fix update issues.
@@AudioGuru09 ok i been looking for a new radio because i just want something different I cant do any thing on my radio besides see what song and stations playing and want something with Nav
Mike Henderson yes. If its already open when car is turned off it will open that way. If you want it to be closed so boot up is smooth id recommend opening it after start up
Ive had this one over a year works fine on my S6 the hummer works well too but android 8.0 is not allowing mirroring from my S8 yet. Radio is good. Software is issue
Brian R good. Very good. Only problem I've had is Samsung update recently stopped the ability to mirror on USB C again. Updates are available from Soundstreams website and I haven't updated mine yet.
Yes you have two options when you're buying a cargo camera most the time you have an option for a switch that will allow you to switch between car go in reverse however there is also part numbers like AMV sw4 from Automotive integration Solutions that will allow you to use up to 4 cameras. This would allow your turn signals as well for blind spot detection
Soundstream isn't off brand. They've been around for years. Their amps and subs are some of the best.. I still have a 1500 watt amp that I've had for over a decade.
They actually use to be a great brand 20 years ago. Around 10-15 years ago they turned to shit
Thaaank you this is the most understandable video about this radio so far and thats 4 years later
Wow the screen casting on phones without MHL support has really got me sold on this unit. I really want one!
Thank you so much for this review. I was so afraid of buying this radio but because of your review I headed there tomorrow to pick one up.
Offerald fitzgerald jr Did you buy it? If so what do you think?
Yes the apps are not as sharp looking as other radios( alpine pioneer) I like it first off-brand radio i've ever owned, and it did meet all the rated specs on the advertised specs
Does it stick out alot?
Awesome vid.. Gave more info than the last review i saw
Great review bro! This just moved to the top of my wishlist. One question, do you know if there is a way to change the color theme or design of the UI? Not a big fan of all the colors. Thanks again for a great review. 👍🏾
My rock solid guess is that the car you installed this SS Head Unit is a 91 - 94 Acura Legend. Awesome car I have a 93 LS Coupe
Patrick Blanco it is a 92. You are correct sir
James Simpson c
Cool I am going with this unit for my ride. Thanks for demo and review.
Yea I was trying to figure out wht kinda car it was... all he said was 92’ but I knew it was Acura by the door... cool ride
I've been watching videos but no one actually put the backup or front view camera in the videos. Was that tested? Does it work with that feature?
I gotta get that asap
I realize that this car has an automatic, but how far does the bottom screen come out towards the shifter? I have a 2005 Mustang 5 speed and wonder if it would be in the way in 1st, 3rd and 5th gears? Thanks
Do you still have this setup ? How`s it holding up so far if you do ?? I`d like to put one in my Jeep TJ.
What Android app do I need to install on my phone for the interconnection service
Very nice im thinking of getting it
The phone updates make mirroring work and then not work after every phone upgrade I’d recommend using a radio like the Kenwood DDX9707 or 9907XR with WiFi the screen casting is wireless and works better with phone updates
@@AudioGuru09 shoot...well im kinda just sold on everything else it does lol curse my love of moving parts
How much room is needed for the screens to come out do the screens have custom adjustable
Have you had any issues with this thus far? Thinkin about getting it for my 2011 altima
Hi m8 i have one of these stereos i cant find any speaker fade adjustments and was wondering if you found any or it dosent have it witch is crazy every stereo has speaker fade front rear left right etc
Does the bezels protrude out of the dash, or can it be flush fit
hey how did gou get it to close like that?mine stays on that tilt
Nice review. How about the sound quality and output power?
Nice video of the dirt on the floor. Were you reviewing the carpet?
Think I'll put this in my 2012 Yukon denali xl
How do you pair your phone to the bluetooth on the stereo I can't do it on mine any suggestions
So you can access the CZcams app and play videos on the unit?
Can u leave both the screens out without any malfunctions
honda legend????
very nice car!!!!
nice head deck!
Will this work of you have subs in your car
Yes. Android 8.0 not mirroring. My s6 still works
How is this radio holding up? Think about getting it
It's super irritating you don't point the camera at what you're showing
EpicMike i was going to scrap the video bc of it. I even made a point at the end to say screw it ill redo it. Lol trust me my 1st review sucks i see that. But as many views as its got ill keep it and do another one.
EpicMike I thank you for the review anyhow
James Simpson hey bro was it hard to install?
He did fine quit your whining
Do the screens automatically come out when you start the car? Or is it a single screen up until you power up the seccond screen manually?
Johannes Jarnæs if its closed when you turn car off it wull remain closed until you activate it. If its open when car goes off it will automatically open when ignition is activated. But yes it can be set to stay closed.
James Simpson thank you so much for the quick response. Appreciate it. Thank you
How is it holding up? I’m torn between this radio and the 10.1 “ android radio
Nikki Norlin working good still.
Is your stereo still working? Would it be compatible with modern phones?
Jorge Magana
Hey boss would this fit a bmw 335i without idrive the stereo is like half an inch deep under the climate vents i am curious to know how far out the unit is and how far from the double din adapter the top screen goes ,i dont want to buy the product and
Then not be able to open the top screen

Anybody know if compatabile with a Note 8?
can you tilt the top screen forward and backwards? also to program it to stay in the position where you left it?
Not really it opens a specific way so both screens can be out.
ty. how is it holding up? and how is the sound quality?
i have an avic 8200nex and im seriously considering giving it up for this
ZB Beats 954 i wouldnt. Both are good. Nex has better screen and audio controls. But morror control is cool
Dont get rid of a top tier radio for this trash.
This radio is work very good no have any problem to open the 2 screen on time fella. Dude do you recommend this radio. Let’s me know please.
Lmao 😂 facts
I saw a YP app. 👍🏻
is soundstream a decent brand these days like they were back in the 90's?
Quick4A6 Decent yes depends mostly on series. This companies upper end is nice. The entry level series is same as power acoustik with better more accurate rms numbers. The micro amps are powerful and clean but Soundstream does best on SPL lines while the sister Precision Power brand does better with power class series in door speakers and phantom amp line.

Do you think it will fit a 2001 mustang
Thanks for the review, how is it holding up?
X1j5 still working well on the S6 I haven't worked through last Samsung update that stopped mirroring on S8
Because it won't support Android phones above 7.0
This is what makes this head unit worthless for me. No Android and only works up to 7.0 for mirroring so you can't even have waze or any other app without your phone and if you update your phone it's over.
@@YonnyMestampo they have a unpdate on the support page for that now
@@AudioGuru09 oh no! Did it ever get an update?
How are the screens doing?
Do you know how change the logo?
Is it still holding up?
Is this head unit still working properly as of today 11/27/2020?? Please let us all know.
Yes
The mirroring doesn't work for me. Idk how to get that to work
Does all apps work?! I'm thinking about getting this
With the newer WiFi units out this is no longet on the top of my list but the price has dramatically dropped since i bought this
Please make a video with the back at camera I would like to see how it look and where you buy the product and how much you pay for?
juan conlindres im a dealer. All double din radios have back up camera inputs now. The picture quality is as good as the camera you purchase
Id love it if you could tell me how far the bottom screen sticks out from the bezel
About 3 or 4 inches. You can't even see the bottom screen when driving.
how is head unit holding up
Is compatible for jaguar s type?
How do you connect a Samsung note 8 to this thing?
nice gonna grab this to go with my soundstream amps. check the vids out
Lamb Watson got my soundstream amps cause of you and your video with your pups outside the trunk hippos in the fourth order thank you
Can you hook up a digital TV tunner to this for live tv
Baltimore md it has an av input. You can add a source. So a universal car based one sure however they don't work well while moving. I'd go with apple tv or something like a roku
How has this stereo held up over the last 7 or so months?
RamThisDTO still working perfectly fine.
James Simpson awesome. Can you stream Hulu and Netflix to the screen without anything but the USB cable?
Does it play CZcams videos while you're driving?
Yes it does as I’ve stated it’s a few years old now and I sold the car a while ago. I’m not sure how the updates will have effected new radio options since my video
How it is going to this day?
How is it holding up
Acura Legend
I’d like to get one just where to find one.
Is it still working?
Probably not
Yes I sold the car. My installer bought it now has it in his Tahoe. I’d recommend using a WiFi unit like a DDX9907XR with screen casting as Pioneer Kenwood JVC Etc all have updates faster than these off brands but the unit is solid as a nav and dvd player
Will this work with iphone x? And will it pick up my 15s kickers? 1500 watts
NO, Android only.
How has it been for over a year?
Daniel Rivera still working. Planning a video soon on updating software
I need a knob for volume. My fingers dont have traction on flat screen surfaces.
Then a Kenwood will be a better fit for you. The push buttons on a Pioneer are not as east to use as a knob. New 9706 Excelon should ship soon.
@@AudioGuru09 I bought Xtrons TE103AP but returned. I like Xtrons TR771L but its little slower and screen is smaller. I am still shopping.
$250 on Amazon 🤔 with more features then my pioneer.... im sold 😂

@@AudioGuru09 🤔 interesting. Thanks for the heads up!!
Its 2021.. how is it holding up.. do u think it will fit in my 04 suburban?
Thinking about putting it in my ram but these videos are 2 years old and there no other unit with dual screens
5/5
What is the Sony thing under it? A cd changer?
Yes will be a flush mount aux and sub plate. That was already in the car
Never knew Dr. Phil was into car audio.
Been called many things. Doctor Phil was never one of them. Guess there really is a first for everything. Lol 😆
@@AudioGuru09 it was not in a mean way. Your voice sounds very much like Phil’s to me.
Nice radio but ill stick to the pioneer double din.
Question what happened to Sound Stream???
DA BEARDSMEN ownership
James Simpson where can i get one @?
Joe Gotti flea market
JustRandoms ! You can buy any name brand including Alpine at a flea market. You f$#%ing troll

How much does it cost an can it fit in the dash of a 91 F-150
wayne hardy since you have a single din mount i would say a pretty penny
Can it open both screens on car start up?
Mike Henderson yes. If its already open when car is turned off it will open that way. If you want it to be closed so boot up is smooth id recommend opening it after start up
Feb 2021...IS it still working as matt asked lol??
Yes I sold the car to my installer he sold the car and now the unit is in his Tahoe it’s still going.
How is this holding up? I just installed mine yesterday
Ive had this one over a year works fine on my S6 the hummer works well too but android 8.0 is not allowing mirroring from my S8 yet. Radio is good. Software is issue
James Simpson are they going to update it? I just had mine installed. It's a bummer I can't use mirrorlink...
Know if compatabile with a note 8 bud ?
Sorry if I didn’t read all the comments. Hit what about iPhone ??
I know this might sound stupid but is it faceoff?
Daniel Pinedo Does it have a detachable face? No.
Do this radio have XM capability... If not, can it be added?
Only through the app. Data not satelite
@@AudioGuru09 Got it... Thanks!
wow
i think to buy the have navigation building unit
I was just bout to say that lol
Does anyone know if it has apple car play?
No it does not.
howd this hold up
Brian R good. Very good. Only problem I've had is Samsung update recently stopped the ability to mirror on USB C again. Updates are available from Soundstreams website and I haven't updated mine yet.
Brian R Bluetooth and Nav the flip out mechanisms all work flawlessly still
James Simpson I heard the sound quality is very subpar on this unit , and that the equalzier is not very good either , is this true ?
I just bought a oscope to show more but no that is not true. The DDX9704S I just installed has a better eq but these are different animals.
@@AudioGuru09 I’m back. Still working?
I just bought one and mine just has the basic equalizer, no crossovers or anything.
Doesn't surprise me Epsilon cutting back on options. I haven't bought a new one since the H2.
Would this work in a 2006 Jeep Liberty
Dee Matt you need a new dash replacement panel a Metra 95-6524B then yes.
James Simpson
Thank you Brother!
How long did it last
Was still working when I sold the car. Last I knew of customer sold the car and had this in his suburban. It still works.
BCkup Cam...?
Jah Cousteauu it has it i have just been lazy and havent added one.
Can you add 2 back up cams?
Yes you have two options when you're buying a cargo camera most the time you have an option for a switch that will allow you to switch between car go in reverse however there is also part numbers like AMV sw4 from Automotive integration Solutions that will allow you to use up to 4 cameras. This would allow your turn signals as well for blind spot detection
That is not something that is built into any radio but does require separate brain using two cameras is pretty simple you just need a switch
Any other brands making these?
300 club no. Exclusive to SoundStream
Does this radio have apple car play for iPhone?
The VRCP65 does carplay. This radio was designed for Android
the phone need to be ON for gps navigation
Que Maravilha isso eh um sonho.
What about TV tuner?
mohammed azad no because us got rid of analog tv and digital does not work while in motion.
Couldn't see anything u we're doin did u watch this B4 u posted
sleeper10s its why i said i would redo video
WILL THIS RADIO CONNECT TO S8 PLUS?
If it connected to his S6, then it will def connect to an S8.
Does not work with S8 will not work with Android 7 yet
James Simpson is soundstream going to update it so the s8 will work?
Samuel Romans they claim they are working on a fix but had no ETA so i am not holding my breath
franklin dunn jr just playex and uploaded a new video new versions with 4.4 or newer work on the S8 now. Watch tge new video on Hummer build.
That cars a 92? Or 2002? Dashboard looks WAYYYY updated for a 92 model.
92
There where not to many changes in many dashes between 92 and 02 frl compared to o2 and 22 lol
Show the system.. showcase, showcase... pls
Compatible Any Cars
Fits normal d.din kits. The screen flip will hinder it in some vehicles.
You didn't play or talk about how the music sounds.
One of the only good sounding Soundstream radios ever. However it’s old and antiquated now. I’m not even sure this model is even current any longer.
Time out mine don’t bussdown like this how you get internet connection
