I thought about the X100M, but I could not bring myself to spend 100 bucks more for a color screen. I hear the ipod works well with it, I dont use an ipod anymore though so for me it was just a difference in the display. I use my a jump drive with it and it works very well. I need to buy the bluetooth though so i can stream from my blackberry to it. Since that is what i use for portable music now. Ipods are great, and I would buy an Iphone, but att just doesnt have any service in Nebraska. ( i work for Alltel)

I painted the trim ring that goes around the radio. The Marine units are white. It is a decent stereo. The sound is alot better than factory. The only problem I have with it is that our cars have powered speakers, and running the sound from the amplified stereo to the amplified speakers I dont have a great volume range. For instance lets say the stereo's volume goes to 30, I have it set at 10 and it would be the same as 30. So really I only have 10 volume levels. Anything else would be to loud for the speakers. I am going to get the new parret bluetooth module for it. It looks like it will be a quick install,
The other thing that I am going to change is how the wires are ran to the glovebox. I am going to drill a hole and put a couple grommets in them. When they are just ran through the super small opening my glovebox looks crooked when closed. The paint was just about dead on though.
