I'm in the market for a new stereo. Main concern is having Bluetooth. But I'm interested to see everyones setup and double din vs single din. Pretty sure I want an LCD screen since it looks better IMO. Resembles more of what I think stock would like. So anyone with after market head units, post your set up. I guess I just want a clean, stock like look but not the ford OEM navigation.

 

Double din with Bluetooth.

 

Pioneer AV Receiver w/iPod Control, DVD Playback & Bluetooth, model AVH-P3200BT:

 

Clarion w/bluetooth streaming audio and USB port. Not a screen, but it has adjustable color to match your interior lighting. Sounds good and under $200:

 

Thanks guys! They all look really nice. The Clarion looks surprisingly very stock, and the idea that the colors can change to meet interior lighting is awesome. I have led underglow inside and blue map leds, so my car is all blue on the inside and that be nice to have the head unit matching.

My other concern that I forgot to mention was the aux input. Most likely I'll use my phone for bluetooth streaming, but can I still retain the stock aux port functionality with an aftermarket head unit?

 

I don't know on the Clarion if you can use the stock aux port, but it has one on the front of it, right next to the USB port.

 

Crutchfield kit. Its a perfect fit and no more dead battery from the Shaker.

 

Looks good! What is the name an version of it? I've been looking at crutchfield to order mine since they give you everything you need to install.

 

double din vs single din. What is the difference?? I have been wanting a new tuner for a while now also but something always comes along that I need to spend my cash on.

 

Mine is the DDX319 (no bluetooth), the DDX419 adds bluetooth.

 

Every picture here so far is a double din head unit. This is a single din:

IMO, double din just looks so much better and stock like.

 

Will check it out. Do you like it? Where its pink, I'm assuming you can change the color? I've been solely looking a pioneer and I know its popular. Haven't heard much about kenwood.

 

Yes you can modify the coloring, that was the default color when I first fired it up.

 

Installed this Kenwood DNX6990HD a few months ago and have zero complaints. Great unit with everything from Garmin GPS, HD radio and Bluetooth.

 

 

that Clarion has a nice big screen....What do you guys use for music playback? Do you guys use the aux, bluetooth, radio?

I see Pioneer just released a brand new unit. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...rs/AVH-X2500BT

But there is no aux on the front, its on the back. Do I just run the aux cable to wherever I want? Or can I hook it up to my stock aux input that's in the console? thanks guys for all the pictures

 

I use a 16GB USB drive in the front slot.



You can extend/route the rear Aux to wherever you want inside the car. My 2006 didn't have a Factory Aux, so I'm not sure if the factory aux will plug right in or not without mods.

 

I used sirius radio and music dvds with like 30k songs with some tv shows and movies burnt onto it.

 

Heres a pic of my previous single din
