Difficulty finding the right head unit.
Hey all, I hate to do something like this, but I am at my wits end trying to dive into all the car-install info, and I only have a couple days to make a decision. I'm sick of staring at all the slow car stereo sales sites like BestBuy and Crutchfield and them all using bad examples and mis-matching info and all that... It's making my brain burn trying to pick the right stereo. Can someone take a look at what I want and help me decide what is best for me? I want an in-dash CD & MP3-CD Player that has an aux input on the back so I can hook my iPod up to it. I can afford $175 or so. XM would be nice, but I already have an XM head unit from my dad that I could also plug into the aux, right? And there is an adapter that I can buy for cheap that will plug into my 4G iPod's dock connector input on the bottom and plug into the aux on the back of the receiver and also plug into another thing that charges it, right? Jesus, this is confusing to me... A call to Crutchfield was little help, they just said to buy the expensive Alpine with the $100 add-on thing. Ugh. Help please.... -- dozens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dozens's Profile: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/me...p?userid=33357 View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/sh...d.php?t=212625 CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online! |

The nice thing about Crutchfield is that they have gobs of detailed info on
their products, although they're not the cheapest place to buy from. I quickly browsed the site and immediately saw 2 Pioneer units under $175 that might work for you (DEH-P3700MP and DEH-P4700MP). Each would require a $35 aux input adapter (model number CDRB10). If you want to be able to hook up both an ipod and XM then you could devise some Y-cables or just have them accesible from the driver's seat so you could hook one or the other up. Down the road you could also add an XM or Sirius tuner, which both of these head units support.
