i like pioneer and kenwood, i just bought a kenwood kdc x995 excelon 1 din stereo. it has hd pandora i pod connection, i have xm radio so i bought the adapter to have it play through the radio. it also has blue tooth so i have my hands free phone. so far i like it, i just havent figured out how to keep one color for the display. check out crutchfield and any of the sponsors here. good luck it took me 3 years to decide.

[QUOTE=9WhiteCamaro9;15596216]Not trying to hi-jack the thread but does the HD radio's make that much of a difference with the right speakers?[/QUOTE it depends if your local stations are broadcasting with hd. so far i have not listened to my local stations. i would assume so, kinda like hd tv. ill check them out and try to remember to repost if it makes a diff or not.

Hey man, thanks for that. I didn't know if it was like watching T.V on an old floor model or watching a movie or something like that on a flat screen with the whole 1080p type stuff. I don't think I have paid that much attention to my stations to know weather or not they have announced if they do play in HD. What about CD's? I mainly listen to stuff of my iPhone through my CD player and wonder if an HD CD player would make a difference for them or not. I'm kinda thinking about going this route if it'll make a difference with a CD and my iPhone. What about speakers? Any certain ones you have to get with the head unit or will just about any work?

If your phone has a AUX. input, your can buy a CD with the AUX. output and run it like that. I can't remember the model number but my JVC CD player had both connections for the AUX. and for a iPhone but at the time I bought the CD player, I didn't have a iPhone, I think I had a Blackberry but in the end, I lost the cord for the iPhone/iPod connection and just bought the AUX. cord and has worked fine for me.
