Disapointing Head Selection

[dubdub]

Wow, So I have not been in the market in a number of years, and was really disapointed in the selection out there.

Granted, I was just thumbing through Crutchfield, to get a feel for options, so there may be other options I missed, but when I was looking for a headunit that had ipod controls, bluetooth (preferable with external mic), and Sirius, I had very few options.

Suggestions?

The Kenwoods are my favourite so far from last years perspective. We haven't seen too much of the new models at our store to judge this year. Some can even colour match your dash lighting. The JVC's have been another surprise for me as I used to despise them, but they have really improved over the last couple years.

jvcs are good in the 900 series but if I were you make sure you have rear usb

I usually use the rear USB for the blutoof dongle.

I picked this one up for my truck, but thought it fit better in my e30 after I got it and I like it a lot. Only downside is the front USB port, but it has BT, color matching lights, and SD memory slots.
