About the Soundstream VR-732B
Installation Note: Soundstream's VR-732B requires adequate clearance for its oversized display when mounted in your vehicle's dashboard (see Details). Please call us at 1-888-955-6000 if you require assistance in determining if it will work in your vehicle.
Big screen for a small opening
You'd like the touchscreen controls a larger DVD receiver offers, but you can't get that larger chassis in your vehicle's dash. Soundstream's VR-732B DVD receiver solves that problem. You'll get a detachable 7" touchscreen display on the body of a smaller single-DIN (2" tall) radio, so it can fit a wide variety of vehicles. Along with its cool display, the VR-732B offers solid power, DVD and CD playback, a USB port, an SD card slot, and Bluetooth for wireless audio and hands-free calling.
Bluetooth® is built in
You'll enjoy crystal-clear hands-free phone calls and great-sounding audio streaming using the VR-732B's built-in Bluetooth technology. Your phone book info transfers in moments, so you can quickly make calls and identify incoming callers. And you'll be able to control your streaming music from the receiver, without having to use your phone to change tracks.
Soundstream built in a sensitive built-in Bluetooth microphone for your calls, located closer to the driver on the upper left corner of the receiver's faceplate.
Lots of media
Soundstream equipped this receiver with a USB port and SD™ card slot for plugging in storage devices with up to 32 GB of capacity, so you should never be at a loss for your MP3 music or MP4, AVI, and DivX video. And of course it plays CDs and DVDs, along with just about any kind of recordable disc. If you've got a gaming console or other A/V sources, plug them into the front A/V input. When you're ready for some video entertainment, set the brake and enjoy video from DVDs, USB devices, or SD cards.
Expand and control your system
Once you've picked your music, you can tweak it with the five EQ presets. You'll appreciate the five preamp outputs if you're adding amps to your system.
Color-coded icons on the touchscreen let you quickly set up the receiver, and then provide you access to your music and video — no more clumsy flicking through layered menus to find your source.
Want to keep your steering wheel audio controls?
In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with a new car stereo. Check “Details” for more information, and the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. If you're not sure if you need an adapter, call, chat, or email an Advisor for help determining what you'll need for your vehicle.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

This unit's touchscreen controls with interactive video graphics make menu navigation easy. The monitor electronically slides out for loading or ejecting a disc, and allows you to adjust the viewing angle (1-4) of the screen.
Note: The motorized LCD monitor measures 7.3125" (w) x 4.5" (h). It extends 2.375" below the bottom of the head unit's chassis and does not retract inside of the unit. This type of design may interfere with your vehicle's instrument panel. As always, please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car and talk to one of our Sales Advisors to verify fit with your vehicle.

Parking Brake Detection: For safety reasons, you cannot view a video source on the built-in monitor as long as the vehicle is in motion. In order to display video, the pink wire of the included harness must be hardwired into the vehicle's parking brake light circuit, and the vehicle's parking brake must be engaged.

I used this unit to replace a stolen stereo (try riding around with no tunes for a while). It looks good, installed easily, and worked well. The sound is solid, and the touchscreen works well. The SD works, and the phone /BT features were solid.
