Hoping you guys can help me pick out a headunit for my 2004 F-150 supercrew. Everything is 100% stock basic system (no factory amps)

Here are the features I want:

• plays CD's and Mp3's on CD's
• Able to connect usb hard drives/devices and play from there
• Aux input for my smartphone
• HD radio (I want to check it out)
• detachable face for security

Features that would be really nice, but not 100% necessary:

• double DIN or DIN and a half to take up all that space. If I got the room, lets use it!
• Bluetooth call features/speakerphone, with being able to plug a microphone in.
• Bluetooth A2DP so I can play music from my android smartphone over my stereo without wires.
• DVD or movie file playing capability do I can play movies for the kids in the back seat while we are on road trips. I have no need to play movies on the headunit itself, so I dont care about large screen for that etc.

Features that I DON'T need or not willing to pay extra for:

• navigation. I have that on my smartphone already.
• Satellite radio. Had it, dont want it. Listen to lots of podcasts and mp3.

I will probably also hook up a nice 4 channel amp and replace the front and real speakers. Will probably not add anything else, no subs.

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

My next one's going to be the jvc kw-nt3hdt

It is a nav unit, but it satisfies all your basics and I think most of your additional. Don't do the bluetooth thing, but from doing the kw-nt1 install it looked like it had most of that.

Double DIN, detachable face, and the one thing it has that is truly kick *** is the sd card slot. I've got a 64gb card with 400+ albums of mp3s ripped at 320 with my current one.

 

Check out the unit in my sig. Single DIN, but the mount kit gives me a handy utility pocket. Has a USB connection, but it's on the back (no prob for me as I have the cable routed to my glove box so it doesn't show.) Pretty sure you can get an HD radio add-on for it, or that Pio makes a unit just above this one with HD capability. You can also get a BlueTooth add-on for it. Again, pretty sure Pio makes one just above this with built-in BT capability. Best part was the price... under $150.
