Bluetooth, MP3 playback off USB, aux input, HD radio

[ratatui]

Hi all,

My first post here.

I want to buy a car head unit with Bluetooth connectivity for audio playback and hands-free phone calls, HD radio, MP3 playback from USB storage and front aux audio input (3.5mm). I favor ease of installation over audio quality, and ability to manage large collections of files. I plan to use the head unit mainly to listen to audio books. My car is a 2006 Lexus IS 250 with stock speakers.

I've been looking around on crutchfield.com, but they don't let you search by features, and I trust the reviews from people here more than those from random car audio review sites.

So let's see what you guys have got //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

kenwood x993 fits the bill other than hd which you can addon after and aux-in is on the back.

Crutchfield does let you search by feature, are you kidding?
