My biggest complaint, by far, is the angle of the display... You can barely see it from the driver seat which seems a bit odd if you're trying to use it as an actual navigable GPS system...
I'm looking into phone mounts for my iPhone since it looks like I'll be using Apple/Google maps for GPS going forward since I can at least see it... LOL
Thanks,

A number of owners on the forum have swapped out the SoundStream for Kenwood receivers. Kenwood has a wide selection of double DIN chassis receivers and many support the cameras. You only need one camera input as Jayco has a multiplexer already installed that feeds all 3 cameras ( L-R mirror and backup) into one camera input. Many Kenwoods have DVD playback capability, Apple Carplay and GPS (not RV specific). Look for discontinued models as they can be found new at e-Bay much cheaper than the current models and really don't sacrifice much compared to new. I went with a discontinued Kenwood DDX595 as it had actual knobs and buttons which I like better than all touch screen and I paid around $230. Quality, sound, and camera picture and response is much better than with the Soundstream. It doesn't have GPS but have that covered with my Garmin RV770.
