Need Rec for Head Unit
Hi all,
Had my '08 Touring Coupe since November. Love the car, hate the stereo. I wasn't expecting a lot from a stock radio, but this this is annoyingly bad. It's the Bose XM radio.
I'm looking for a replacement head unit, as "drop-in" as possible, that has AM/FM/XM, plus maybe HD Radio, and definitely looking for something that I can plug my iPod into. I could live without CD. Never use 'em any more.
I went looking over at Crutchfield a couple of months ago and thought I found a bunch, but looking there today, unless I was looking in the wrong spot, I couldn't find any.
If anybody has any experience with any of the units they liked, I'm looking for recommendations.
Thanks,
Sean

Don't need nav, as I have the factory nav, and don't really use that. Got it kind of by default because I wanted the side aibags.
Budget is pretty much wide open. I'm not looking to spend thousands if I don't have to, but OTOH I certainly am not expecting to find something that does all that for $200.
Thanks.
