The Stinger HEIGH10 is an integrated infotainment touch screen solution designed for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta (940 Facelift) models from 2014 to 2021. This system is specifically compatible with non-amplified Continental Mopar factory head units. Its primary function is to upgrade the vehicle's radio with a 10-inch infotainment system, while retaining all original equipment manufacturer (OEM) features, vehicle settings, and more, in a plug-and-play package.
The HEIGH10 system enhances the in-car entertainment experience by offering a larger screen and a suite of modern infotainment features. Key functionalities include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio, and Bluetooth streaming. The system is designed to seamlessly integrate with the vehicle's existing controls, allowing drivers to manage key vehicle settings and infotainment features directly through the HEIGH10 display using their steering wheel controls.
The core of the system involves a HEIGH10 unit, which serves as the central processing and display component. This unit is complemented by a vehicle retention interface, which is crucial for maintaining the original vehicle's functionalities and allowing communication between the new head unit and the car's systems. The interface ensures that features like steering wheel controls, parking sensors, and other vehicle-specific settings remain operational and can be accessed through the new display.
The installation kit includes a piano black double DIN fascia plate, which provides a factory-like finish for the new screen within the dashboard. Vehicle-specific antenna adapters and USB retention leads are also provided to ensure that existing vehicle connections for radio and USB are maintained and compatible with the new HEIGH10 unit. A Stinger stereo patch lead facilitates the connection between the HEIGH10 unit and the vehicle's interface.
