Best Replacement Radio?

Since the interior section is so light, let's start aconversation about the best replacement head unit you guys have found. I'm leaning towards a GPS unit like the AVIC or DNX, but I'd like tohear suggestions on a good unit based upon your experiences. For one, the new AVICs have lots of software problems and slow boot times. Minimum things I'd like the unit to have:

MP3 (USB)
LCD touch screen
HD radio
CD
Double Din

TIA for any replies!

I have nothing but good things to say about my clarion I had in my vert. Its cheap and has everything you need. The picture was great! It had a great touch screen that just needed the smallest tap. The sirius sat radio used the touch screen. The ipod hookup was amazing. It had the ipod format pop up on the touch screen and even charged your ipod. You could buy anythign and everything for it.

I think it fit the look of the car and even had a nice flow witht he interior. Never had one problem! in the phoenix heat or the -15* flagstaff winter.

Is that Baseketball?


On topic some of the pioneers are dirt cheap now considering the features you get. I've heard good things about Kenwood too. Also if it comes with GPS be sure to get one that supports updates or that has a thirdparty app that has been around for a while.

Flagstang, I must compliment your interior! Which clarion is that? I would have never considered them... Also, which bezel kit did you use, the Crutchfield? Any other interface parts needed?

The F90BT is the one I want. But I'm a tech geek and like expandability.

I got the kit from crutchfield for about 40 bucks. It is the clarion MAX675VD. That infact is baseketball. The MAX675VD uses the cnet cables and you can add anything and everything to it. They are selling on ebay for about $350 new.
