Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Thought I might share my experiences with you on the Soundstream in-dash single din audio/visual unit.
From the outset let me say this review contains a somewhat negative remark but in NO WAY is it to be interpreted as reflecting on the seller or the quality of the system. THIS IS PURELY IN MY APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT !!!!!!
My car audio installer's are professional at their job BUT unfortunately were unable to install this unit into my 1988 Mercedes CE300.
The main reason is that whilst the system unit is listed as a single din sized unit, the front exterior panel is not (the video display part of the unit). Basically it extends above the top of the system unit to the extent that when you wish to put a disc in, the tray catches on the fascia panel above the system unit.
As the dash panel above is woodgrain and holds the heating controls it cannot be really trimmed for more clearance without damaging the panel and spoiling the finish of the dash. Additionally the because the system unit is cradle mounted it cannot really be pulled forward to clear the fascia above as it would leave large gaps either side as the "sides of the dash" extend away from the system unit.
Yes it could be done but would look terrible and would then infringe upon the ashtray panel immediately below the system unit.
SO basically I can't comment on the performance etc - extremely disappointed that I won't have it in my car but please read this as a pre-purchase warning ! Make sure you have the clearance necessary in the area you want to install this "single din" system as it is marginally larger at the front that a standard din sized CD player by virtue of the VDU component.
