Head Unit Suggestions?
I do not want to replace the head unit in my 2000 Z28, but I want something that has an auxiliary input and also something that I can easily listen to Sirius XM on. I have seen the auxiliary input adapters but that looks like more trouble than it's worth.
What are some of you out there using for head units in your 4th gens?
Thanks in advance.

In my last T/A I had a Sony head unit that I chose for three reasons:
1) It had USB input
2) I liked my last Sony unit
3) It had a wide range of selectable colors for the whole face, including a red that perfectly matched all the stock interior lights
I know it had Pandora support. Not sure about XM. I didn't know the wonder that is satellite radio back then. That was some years ago when touchscreens weren't everywhere.
-TK- bought the car, but he isn't active on here to ask the model number.

I am a pioneer guy. Has all the sound quality of alpine at half the price. I have a pioneer AVH280BT with infinty reference speakers and a sony 10" sub in my truck, it sounds really good for a budget system.

I have had Pioneer for many years now and will probably go that route in this car as well.

I went ahead and bought a Pioneer head (DEHX3700S) unit that was Sirius ready, along with SiriusXM SXV300v1 Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit. I bought a discontinued head unit for $60, new in the box. I also have the interface for the steering wheel controls but haven't installed it yet. Just ran out of time last night.
