Lookin for a HU
I am pretty new to these nicer HUs but have been lurking around his forum tryin to learn what I can about our truck and these head units. Never have owned one personally but have installed and played with quite a few in the newer mercedes models. They are sweet and just make the interior look much nicer IMO.
Anyways, I am looking for one. i want that nice, big ole screen but it doesn't have to be a touch creen (although they are nice) . I want one that will work with a reverse camera, navi and maybe even bluetooth capable. I wont be upgradin the actual system (its plenty loud for me, and I have NO need for a sub... country doesn't have much bass to it
) But just want one to replace that crummy looking black plastic single disc changer. Any ideas ? Which would be my best bet ? What should I stay away from ?
Thanks for any and all input.

Or find a local place here....

I highly advise if your not installing this your self.
GO to an True Audio shop!! Might cost slightly more.
But you won't have issues like normaly found when the BIG BOX stores like Best Buys, Circuit Citys, etc... Do installs!!
GooD Luck!

www.Onlinecarstereo.com is also a really good place to buy from, almost always much cheaper than CF.
