[QUOTE="NickCR, post: 7706583, member: 563113"] Thanks! I checked them out as I've noticed them mentioned a few times. Problem is I can't justify $120 when for $400 - $500 you can have a new deck with a touch screen and all the bells n whistles. I think that's the route I'm going to take. Nice man, 07 LE here. I think 05-07 are the same, 08 has some upgrades and changes. I'm not gonna lie the 266 HP that these 4.0L push out is nice and to top that off the MPG that it gets is pretty amazing considering the size of the motor. I get ALMOST as much gas millage on this as I did on my 2.8L inline 6 Benz. Yeah I realized it's probably best to call and verify as EVERYTHING i've read everywhere suggest that the BOSE systems are stock on the LE. Who knows though maybe in Costa Rica they are not. Just talked to the shop manager and they couldn't tell me if it came with it or not. So I've been looking into some headunit options to replace this and I have come up with this two which are within the price range: Pioneer AVH-P8400BH and Pioneer AVH-P4400BH The only major differences from what I can see are the graphic user interfaces and the fact that one has the app store thing. Do you guys know which interface I need to get to integrate the steering wheel controls with the radio? The different is less than $100, but I don't want to get something that is useless and since a lot of apps don't work outside the US (Im in Costa Rica) I wonder if it's even worth it. But I was hoping someone with more experience can chime in. [/QUOTE]
