New head unit  
06-11-2006, 09:46 AM
Post: #1
 
I am going to replace my head unit pretty soon. I am looking for somethign that is Sirius compatible and bluetooth as well. I dont run any speakers off of the radio so a dead radio is ok. I'd like a built in EQ and a remote. I have been out of the car audio world for a while now, anybody got any suggestions?

I am looking to spend 4 to 500 bucks.

http://www.crutchfield.com can help you out with models... but their prices aren't too friendly. I bought an Alpine CDA-9855 for around 450 that suits me very nicely. It has the glide-touch for the iPod searching as well as for searching through satelite stations. It was an 05 model though. Here's Pioneer's bluetooth model... http://www.crutchfield.com/S-L5bMQpkSgQt...130DEHP980 .

Figure out what you want and buy on EBAY. You can get a NICE HU for 300 or so that would cost you 5-6 retail

Ooooooo I'm liking that pioneer model, I can get it for around 385 on ebay. Then like 60 bucks for the sirius kit and 80 for the ipod dock.

Good god the Pioneer DEH-P9800BT is badass, bluetooth built in. When your phone rings the caller ID comes out on the radio. Looks like we have a winner unless someone can find me a better option.



Nothing like doubleing the value of your truck with stereo equipment ROTFL

If you can grab the Premier 980BT, not the 9800, difference is the premier is made with better quality parts and a better display
