New Stereo
I'm in the market to replace the stock stereo in my 2013 F150 XLT.
I know that I need a $250-$300 face plate, and different wire harnesses to keep the Sync, and steering wheel controls. So on top of keeping the Sync, steering wheel controls, I want to ad Sirius/XM, and a single disc CD. I'm not worried about DVD player, or GPS though the GPS would be nice, and I wouldn't have my other one stuck to the windshield.
So I want to know what you all have picked out for your aftermarket stereo.
Pictures, and goodies are a plus, and a dollar figure would help. I'm not planning on spending $1000, just nicer than what I have now.
Here's a picture of my stock stereo.
Hope y'all have had a good week so far.

WOW, 93 looks, and notta comment
I've pretty much picked out what I'm getting.
Pioneer AVH-X3800BHS, adding a Sirius/XM thing, and wire harnesses to keep the steering wheel functions, and the Bluetooth/Sync thing, and a $250 face plate.

I've also wanted to replace my factory, I don't have the touch screen though. But would like to keep my Sirius without an external device to run it . I haven't been able to find an inexpensive aftermarket one with the Sirius built in. Woukd you be interested in selling your after you swap?

I'm subscribing to this thread, because I have the same radio and I am interested in upgrading also. Sync sucks. I'd rather have a good GPS/touchscreen CD player that I can still use the steering wheel buttons with.

I currently have Sirius in my truck , I just have the non touch screen version. I wonder if it would just be plug and play? If your willing g to sell yours would you sell the whole face plate with it?

I'm getting a couple of wire harnesses that will keep my Sync, and the steering wheel controls.
The best deal I've found so far is through Crutchfield.com and get the Pioneer stereo that I have pictured in the earlier post. Dash kit, all harnesses, Sirius tuner etc for about $700. The same thing from local dealers are telling me at least $1000

Wow, good video, and I've been calling 
dealers about putting a higher end factory stereo in, and none of the dealers could help me out.
I did check out the websight that they mention on that video and got prices from them. T go from my 4" screen. to the 8" GPS, Sirius, CD and all was $2300.
Soit looks like I'm going to stay with the Pioneer that I'm looking at through Crutchfield.com. I'm going to do some more checking around tomorrow.

I was thinking if that factory stereo could be bought for $800 or so, that's the way I'd go. But over two grand, not even a thought.
