Need suggestion for buying new car audio system
I'm looking for suggestions of a system to meet the following criteria:
1) I'll be installing it in a 2004 Honda Pilot (which currently has the
standard CD changer stereo in it). If the same system could also be
installed in my wife's Nissan Versa, that would be great (but not required).
2) I need it to do the following:
- GPS with spoken driving directions
- have controls for an iPod attached (so that I can see the control menus on
the in-dash system without having to look at the iPod itself)
- have controls for a Sirius satellite receiver. I have one, although if the
unit includes its own (compatible with the new Sirius/XM merger), that's
fine.
- communicate via BlueTooth with my phone (currently a Verizon XV6700) so
that I can make calls and talk through the car stereo
3) I do not need DVD
I see a $1600 unit at Crutchfield that meets these criteria; it's got a
touchscreen though, which I don't need and which makes it more expensive.
Anyone have a better suggestion?
Mike
