Garbage

Insanely difficult to get to connect to phone via Bluetooth. Volume often changes on its own. Randomly loses power (was professionally installed using wiring kit and I've checked power and ground wiring multiple times myself). Clock randomly resets and somehow ends up back to the correct time later. Now purchasing a different radio for my gf's Christmas gift after blowing it with this radio last year.

09 CRV - I want to like this unit, but..

This unit was my choice after 2 boss units had issues. I'm really trying to like this unit for many reasons: -interface,screen design and layout is nice -Volume knob actually changes volume while spinning (instead of just the opposite of other boss units) -EQ is temperamental as I'm still trying to dial in the right sound with 4 Fosgate 6.75 spkrs and sub. But it is nice to have a 10way EQ. Only 1 single RCA for sub which had me buying a Y RCA cable. Volume is distorted at halfway even with speakers matching the units RMS. IDK if this is the unit or the speakers.. I blame the unit as the oem speakers broke up near the halfway point as well. No subwoofer control. If you want bass, it goes thru the EQ and puts bass in your spkrs. Havent used the phone feature, but BT audio works great. I might have to just open up the wallet for a better name brand. This is for my daily CRV which I drive 10hrs a week and just wanted something cheap that sounds better than oem. Cheap, reliable, good. Pick 2 and the 3rd is what its not.

Solid Unit. Would recommend

This was a great deal to replace my stock head unit for my 05 Silverado. Installation was quick and relatively painless with the purchased wiring harness, antenna adapter, and mounting bracket. The unit works great. The only con is the volume nob is a little small and is difficult with my fat fingers. I would still recommend it.

Bought this to replace an impossible to use Furrion unit in my 5th wheel camper. Have not installed yet, but tested on bench and I am impressed. Much easier to use than the Furrion, sound is crisp and clear with radio, CD and DVD. Like the ability to pair tablet and phone to play songs stored in each. Will probably not use the phone options.

GREAT UNIT

Very powerful. Sounds great. There's a slight delay when Bluetoothing to my phone playing music. You miss the first half second or so of some songs. The only real problem is DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN OFF THE SCREEN. I used a microfiber cloth you use to clean eye glasses and it scratched the total crap out of the screen. Crutchfield is awesome though. Still in my 60 days , so theyre sending me another unit. Other than that, no problems. This thing really ROCKS. Makes the stock speakers in my 2012 Ram sound 100 times better than the factory radio that died. Very much recommend this unit.

Id rate this a 0. This radio flat out sucks. I've had nothing but trouble with this piece of junk. This thing has a mind of its own. It will change volume on its own, turn on and off on its own and now it will change from Bluetooth to radio and DVD player. Have factory reset numerous times and always goes back to the same issues. Factory support is a joke. They want $$ to send it back under warranty. This thing isn't worth another penny. Lastly the monitor looks cheap. Stay away from this product and buy something else.

A little difficult to navigate the menus, that's why 4 stars. once you figure it out its fine. Trust the power rating , it rocks. Like not having to run a seperate mic for the phone. Can't attest to video quality, I'll never use it for that purpose. Overall it may seem somewhat dated to some people but so am I so not an issue for me, way better than the Kenwood it replaced. Don't think it can be touched for the money.

Do not order this radio. The volume goes up and down when you hit a bump. This radio has a weak frequency and stations require resetting all the time. The clock won't stay set on the correct time when the motor is turned on/off, and the GPS does not load. It displays a bunch of folders. I have had this defective radio for 8 months. This is a warranty issue. Soundstream says I can't get a refund, but I can send it in for repair. According to Soundstream, I need to pay to have it shipped to them and enclose $25 to cover their shipping and handling when they mail it back to me. I declined. If it is under warranty, a return label should have been sent to me to mail it to them. I decided to keep the radio and lose almost $300. I guess Soundstream wins-or do they? Don't buy this radio. It's a piece of junk. Soundstream's customer service is absolutely terrible! I am not satisfied at all.

All I can say is this stereo is actually very decent! Touch screen controls aren't perfect but do work in a similar fashion to OEM stereo touch screens. Plays media very well and the amp outputs are top notch! Sound with this deck is much better than ur typical stock stereo without a doubt! Makes driving my GTI that much more fun!

Powerful unit, but could be better.

The thing that caught my attention with this stereo was the high power rating. I didn't want the hastle of wiring up an amp, so the high power was appealing. The power is nice and it sounds good, but there are a few things I'm not impressed with. There is a long delay when the unit is turned on, when you switch from radio to cd, and switching tracks on a cd. My ancient Pioneer unit is instant. This is probably my biggest issue with this unit. Probably not a big deal for some people, but it's pretty annoying to me. The volume knob is tiny and it adjusts in steps. At lower volume the steps are fairly large. Finer adjustment would be better. As mentioned in other reviews I think the menus could be arranged in a better way. I suppose this will be less of an issue as time goes by, but initially it's kind of awkward. I waited a while after getting this unit before installing it, so I was past the 60 day trial period. Had I installed it sooner I would probably have considered trading. I live near a Crutchfield store, but because of Covid I shopped online. Had I shopped in person I think I would have made a different choice. As far as Crutchfield goes, they're hard to beat. The sales advisor was great and the technical help person was extremely helpful. Shipping was-crazy fast too. I've dealt with them for years and will for years to come.

Love it

Excellent for the price. The features this head unit offers is unmatched at this price point. Only down side is the screen sensitivity as noted by other reviews. Personally, I do not mind this as my truck is lifted and rides rough. With the decreased sensitivity, your selections have to be very deliberate.

Dont quite get what is described

Sound streams own description is severely over inflated on the audio tuning side, the subwoofer crossover does basically nothing and only comes in single port, and the UI is clunky. Bluetooth is slightly slow and glitchy from phones calls to playing music. USB does not want to stay on it switches itself to six instead, and touch features are very slow and not very sensitive. Other than that , the Unit seems to be Ok on power for running factory speakers in a vehicle. Decent Basic double din features aside from previous complaints

Seems to be a decent head unit. The touch screen needs to be a little more sensitivity and crutchfield was not lying about having to modify my dash to get this radio to fit in the Chrysler 200.

Quirky menu system

This stereo is decent for the price but the menu system is idiotic. It has the main eq change function with the custom EQ option, but you can not access the 10 band equalizer there. You have to go into the "system" audio menu to adjust it. This is the case for many settings that should be in the easiest accessible main menu rather than deep in the system menu. Haven't tried mirror link. Doubt i'll use it. Much more power than the old Sony aftermarket stereo it replaced. Sound quality seems very good to me, and I haven't even changed the speakers yet. Touchscreen is fine. Overall its a decent unit for the price especially with the 10 band EQ even though getting to it is annoying.

Great for price

Easy install with the dash kit for a 2009 honda fit. The instructions from crutchfield left out some small details that I had to figure out to make the dash kit mount right. The radio itself sounds good and will screen mirror for me. That means I can put my google maps navagtion on screen for a higher end feel from a low price point. I wish the touch screen was a bit more sensitive. Most of the icons on screen are big enough to be pushed without having to be to precise. Overall at the price it's hard to find anything better.

I replaced my factory speakers with some Kickers and couldn't tell much difference so wanted a more powerful head unit. This one advertised the highest RMS and was a good price so decided to try. It brought them to life. They sound 10x better.

Great bang for the buck

I installed this unit in my wife's van to replace a glitchy GM factory head unit. Install was simple, mostly because I paid extra for the wiring harness work. That option is worth it. It made installation a breeze. The radio sounds good with plenty of power to drive the replacement Kicker speakers in the doors. The touchscreen sensitivity is somewhat lacking and the controls are not intuitive, but Soundstream does include a actual printed owner's manual - not a downloadable PDF. That is pretty awesome. The bottom line is that this is a great head unit made even better at this price. I would definitely buy again.

Excellent price for what you get

Price per performance is superb. This unit dims with my headlights, has automatic switchover for the backup camera, and the buttons can be set to any color. It sounds great and actually has too much power for my needs with lots of equalizer settings to choose from, including a custom setting. The hands free telephone feature (via blue-tooth) is fantastic. The display can be turned off with one touch while still in use to eliminate distracting active graphics while driving. The only detriment was with the mechanical mounting kit (the wiring adapter is spot on). I had to scavenge original mounting parts from my car's factory radio in order to mount this one properly in a 2007 Honda CRV. The face of the stock kit is almost 1/4 inch too high vertically. I used only the bezel from the mounting kit.

Not perfect but works

Upon arrival the box was definitely a box that made me feel a little better about the purchase. So far its a great unit for the price. The biggest issue has been the touchscreen sensitivity. Otherwise connecting devices is easy and customizable so just not anyone can connect to it. The quality of video is also kind of low but for DVD receiver at this price cannot complain plus the ability to use Android on this unit is nice. No Apple support that I know of. Honest review 3.8.
