Lightbulb New Owner - need stereo help!!!

Hey All-
just got an '05 SRT last weekend with only 1800 miles!!! Lovin' this car so far!

Anyhow, seems like everything is stock...so my stereo has no input for the old iPod, and my old PT Cruiser's plug & play sirius is pretty crappy looking and obtrusive! Looking through the forums so far, seems like I'm inevitably going to have to get a new head, as no one's really mentioned just getting a Sirius receiver that's compatible for a hardwire to stock...and either way that still leaves out my iPod!

So any brand/model suggestions on a CHEAPer end way of:

~ getting my iPod jacked in
~ adding Sirius (without a seperate window/dash unit)
~ being fully compatible with the stock amp/speakers, etc.
~ matching the silver interior
~ still having CD player too!!!

I welcome the suggestions all! THANKS!!!

The Pioneer DEH units support a separate Sirius receiver which will fit behind the headunit. I have the optional HD radio receiver there.

Crutchfield has a great deal on this head unit which I use my ipod with as well. Now although it onlyhas aux inputs for the IPOD I am fine with that for the price:

I will PM you with a referral code to save $20 on your order and you get free cables and shipping on this unit!

I also got a set of infiiniti speakers as well.

It is a very good unit and you save over $400 over the original $600 price tag!

I am very happy with this unit.

Nate
