looking for a new radio, I don't stay in the loop of what is what in radios so looking for input.
here is what I have narrowed it down to.


Car Selector

 

I have the Axxera in mine. Been happy with it so far. for Bluetooth it comes with a remote microphone. I mounted it in that rubber boot thats between the cluster and the column. worked great. I used a razor blade to cut a small slit in it and just threaded the wire through the slit and up to the radio opening. I use a 160gb ipod on it. I can plug it in the front of the radio or hook it up in the glovebox. it has a rear usb and a usb extension cable. I dont know about the other radios youre looking at.

 

This is the one I have

Alpine CDE-135BT CD receiver at Crutchfield.com

 

Pioneer deh 9400 like I got. haha.

Thats a bit overkill.

I'm a kenwood or Pioneer guy.
Not a big fan of the older alpines, some of this years alpines are getting a bit better though.

Gotta spend money for addons, which is BS imo.

Want Iphone cable? extra 40 dollars. haha. stupid.

 

also I will most likely buy 3 of the same, one for my 97, one for the 4runner and one for my daughters truck. ( I hate learning how to operate new electronics so I want them all the same)

 

I use the USB cable that came with my iPhone

 

Not all of them work that way.

=)

 

I used to sell the 135, that is a nice radio.
