Reviews for Stinger Off-Road RB10JK11B HEIGH10 Digital Multimedia Receiver for 11-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
This jumbotron is one of the best upgrades I've made to the Jeep. You spend most your time inside the vehicle, so I think it's worth spending a little more on something you interact with every day. You can run offroad map software like Gia or OnX. I would recommend also getting some additional cables to replace the 2nd usb input with the HDMI outlet and rewiring the 1st usb input to your center consul. That way you don't have a bunch of cables laying around. You can also plug in an after market Bluetooth receiver hidden in the arm rest if you choose to do that. Then you'll have a completely wireless experience when connecting your Apple or Android. It's easy to do, I made a youtube video explaining it "Install Jeep JK Stinger off road USB connection to center arm rest". Either way, great radio, great customer service, looks good.
Nice modern upgrade
It is a great improvement over the OEM system. Everything works, but I would caution that the instructions are not great. Read teh instructions twice and the video a couple times too and you’ll still end up not getting all the needed information. There is nothing on installing the aftermarket sxm satellite connection (and nothing from sxm about best place to put the antenna — it should end up in the B-pillar), I had to reroute the connection from the brains to the display because they don’t mention it fits better if you run the wire low than high (makes sense when you do it), and when shoving the wires (for a stock jeep, 90% of the wires they give you are not needed) there should be a reminder to keep the window control connection available. And they sent the wrong screws and I had to improvise and use washers to make sure they didn’t go in too far.
Custom styling for the jeep
The installation was straight forward, especially when referencing Stinger's installation video on YouTube. The device itself is nice but the image quality and processing speeds leave a bit to be desired. Especially given how close the screen is to the seats in a Jeep, the icons and other features appear somewhat pixelated. Application loading/response time (the lag time between switching apps or loading the backup camera feed after the vehicle is put into reverse) is noticeably slower than in modern factory infotainment center applications but it's acceptable with a bit of patience. Customer service was quick to answer and very helpful.
I was given the Stinger Heigh10 as a gift 2022. I had it for a few months when the reverse camera screen kept began going out. I was told to update the firmware...did that and it did not correct the problem. I was then told to factory reset the entire system, that too did not work. For a couple more weeks with fighting the screens going out, the entire screen went out but you could hear the radio stations playing. Stinger said it was the wiring harness going out to take it to a Stinger authorized dealer. Did that and they said it definitely went out and needed to be replaced. Got a whole new set up with head and harness. It has been exactly three months now since I have received and put in the NEW Stinger Heigh10 and guess what......the second one is doing the same thing as the first one. The only thing I like about it is the size of the screen and some of the features. Gave it an update as instructed and now added to the problems is the iGO Navigation does not work anymore. I have seen other systems that do the same thing or nearly the same thing for a lot less cheaper. The people who gifted this to me paid alot of money for this set up because I was told a lot of great things about it at Jeeping the Coast in Mississippi only to be let down. TOO LATE FOR THEM TO GET A REFUND!
Hooked up and works but useless since impossible to get flush mount to click into place in dash. Have tried for hours, ensured screws not blocking, and pushed hard. Would love this if I could make it be attached to my dash instead hanging by its cords.
