Need bluetooth head unit recommendation

After having the factory bluetooth for my GTO I don't think I will be able to do without on my Camaro this coming summer.

Is there a reasonably priced aftermarket head unit that has bluetooth capability??

I would need one that has and ipod input also. High sound quality is not a big deal for me. Anything equivalent to the factory radio would be fine.

Any recommendations??

Also, can you still control the alarm and other car computer functions with an aftermarket unit??

Thanks!

Well for bluetooth withouth a head unit there are always the Parrot units that hook up to the speakers. Supposedly the best.

But for both bluetooth and ipod, alpine has one of the best ipod interfaces and good quality. Not sure about the bluetooth, but im sure its decent.

None of that is handled through the headunit on a 1998-2002 F-body. If you have steering wheel controls you'll need a PAC SWI-? adapter (ex: PAC SWI-X is the universal IR version, PAC SWI-PS is the Pioneer & Sony wired-remote version).

im not 100% sure, but you can probably get a T harness to relocate your factory hu to the trunk to remain all functionality, and get a REAL nice pioneer dehp9800bt to do bluetooth through..
