Review: Massive upgrade - It's a very good unit. The instal process was very straightforward, the only issues you'll have is organizing your wires behind the unit. They provide extra harnesses in case you decide to add multiple side/forward cameras as well as adding an amp & subwoofer. Their customer service is extremely reliable, they responded within a few hours over a holiday weekend. If you have the factory installed sub, there is a quick YouTube video to show what EQ settings you'll need.
Review: Great Upgrade! - Fantastic radio upgrade for my 2020 Jeep Gladiator! I followed along with the video on Stingers YouTube channel and went back and forth to the instructions. The video is great but some small details are different with the radio I got. It’s a little pricier than some of the other CarPlay/Android Auto on desertcart, but it is high quality and came with every harness needed to install and retain all stock functionality. The radio has great sound quality with the OEM speakers and offers a much better EQ. The fit was really tight in the dash behind the head unit, but it is sculpted to fit perfectly on the dash. It looks great.

### ⭐ Backup guidelines no longer work
*by J***N on 2 September 2025*

After installing the horizon, 12, my reverse guidelines, no longer work. I was told to replace the backup camera with a non-static camera, which did not work. You would expect what I spent on this. Everything should work. Was told to return for a new unit this would require me to pay the installer to remove and to pay to install the new unit.
