Soundstream V2

Anyone have any experience with Soundstream? I’ve been going back and forth about buying the new V2 when it ships vs. having the dealer install the WHIM module, leave the Boom Box, and be done with it.

Pros to the V2: Fully Bluetooth ready, 15 band eq, modern, 8” screen, plug and play, wireless car play ready.

Cons to the V2: It’s $1800 vs. $350 for the whim.

Thoughts???

I had the original HDHU 14 in my 2016 SGS, it was a damn good head unit! the V2 is really promising, but that price tag is hard to swallow

Why do you need the WHIM? Get the $12 jumper plug.

I have one. But the car play / headset integration is flaky at best.

Ive been running the original HDHU14+ now for at least a couple of years. Its been good for me. I would like to have the new v2 but not sure i can justify that expense since I have a v1 that works fine.

Considering the + and Si are still avaialable (and that big price gap between all three)...... does anyone have a listing of the improvements of the V2 over the others? Don't want to buy stuff I may not really need (done too much of that already. )

I know, I know....

Hey, I will have the GTS that I could get a few bucks for, right?

$1,800 does inhale swiftly (suck).
Sitting on the fence here too.

I will change it to something when I do handlebars.
