Head Unit Shopping...

[suede]

So the backlight evidently burned out on my stock radio, so the numbers and such dont light up at night, but I was kinda looking to repace it anyway, Heres what i would like to acomplish....


Gotta have Ipod hookup, and preferably work on a scroll wheel system just as the ipod would normally but through the head unit,

would like it to have a cd player also but maybe not a dealbreaker

Needs to have a tuner or Aux imputs for my XM radio also...

nice screen that would actually resemble the ipod screen...

GO...

I ran with an Eclipse cd7100. You may not agree with the price, but there is no better single din radio made!
Sound quality, color lcd screen and top of the line security.

Yeah Alpine is a great way to go for the head unit.

Take a look at this one. More RMS watts than most alpine.20x4 vs. 14x4. i was going to go with alpine myself but found kenwood and JVC to offer a bit more.
