Default Was factory Head Unit ever upgraded?

I am wanting to replace my factory infinity head unit - actually the amp and speakers also. But I cannot find a sliver head unit with HD radio, Blue tooth, USB and Aux inputs. My 2005 limited Roadster inifinity has no auxillary inputs at all. it will not play MP3 CD audio formats etc. Did they ever upgrade the infinity on the later year models?

No.
Most have gone aftermarket ....
Look for a Marine unit, a lot of them come in silver that matches pretty close .....

Ok, who's car was I sitting in at the Dragon when I said, "Hey, this aftermarket head actually looks like it BELONGS in here"????

I cannot remember what model or make it was, but it looked almost like it came with the car.


I know:
It was the SRT Roadster from Florida... I can't pull a name outta my head!

Closest I found was a Becker 788X I found on eBay.de.

They share the same look and form factor, it just come in gloss black.
But swapping the face plate with my oem was somewhat simple.

Has HD Radio - plays MP3 formatted CD's
Has a phone input (just add
bluetooth device bluetooth device
)

Has a CD Changer input that, with the help of a controller, will interface with your iPhone or other music device. (Aux)

Has the same speaker output connections has the factory stereo, but also comes with
Preamps for front, rear and subwoofer.

The somewhat clunky user interface took some getting used to - but it rocks...
