I ordered 609CS Inifinity speakers to replace my door speakers (at least one blown and I do not crank the radio that loud) and I want to replace the head unit too. I am tried of the CD player skipping over every bump and no MP3 support. I listen to a lot of oldies on CDs. My original amp still works and I will reuse it.

I have been looking online for at least 2 weeks and went to a few places to view them - like BBuy. I can't believe how hard it is to find a unit that somewhat matches the car and has the right features...bluetooth, USB in front, HD radio supoort and radio data support, IPOD support (may buy one someday!) and preamps - 4volts needed from what I read here to use with the stock amp...and a green led display. When I actually go to look at some I can't believe how cheap the front ends look and feel. So far a couple of Sony's have been my only choices but again I never find one with all the features I want that looks nice...even at $280. The Aplines always seem to be lacking some of the functions most others have and there are not a lot of marine units to choose from. Black is in and silver is out I guess.

If you installed one lately give me some more models to look at if you are happy with the unit. If you know one I should avoid let me know. A lot of older units that I thought looked nice on the forum threads are not longer sold by the dealers when I try to get pricing.
