Yes, they are pricey. But I said that mainly because "Premier" no longer exists.

The Kenwood KDC-x996 is what i use and its pretty dang nice for $213. The Pioneer DEH-8400BH and DEH-P9400BH are also nice for under $200

The Kenwood has time alignment and the crossovers are a lot more flexible, but other than that the 8400 is a heck of a hu for the price... He could get a used x994 and have full bt, t-a, and the only main difference is a 5 band rather than a 13. Found one for 170ish here... Kenwood KDC-X994 USB/CD/MP3 In Dash Receiver in good condition 019048187727 | eBay I didn't mention the x995 because it doesn't stream audio via bt. Edit: the x994 and x996 do.

Try the Pioneer MVH-8200BT. Not sure on the going price for one new, but you can definitely pick one up used for 150 or less
