Hey all, I have a 2012 Cadillac CTS - 3.0L V6 AWD, base model.
This style was produced from 2008-2013 and until literally December 2015 - Early 2016, no Metra Kit/Kits were available that I know of. This is the new kit
When I bought this car (one of my favorite cars since they came out in 2008) I was super stoked, but I quickly realized that despite the amazing deal I got on the car, that it had no BLUETOOTH AUDIO, No USB Port and I missed my sub and amp sound. It came without the navigation system so it didn't even have a digital clock and a tiny embarrassing head unit.

The car does have a Bose 9 speaker system. I recently had Best Buy install 12" MTX Terminator Subwoofers and a 1100 Watt Hifonics Zues amplifier with a 1400 watt wiring kit. The battery is in the trunk of the Cadillac with the bose subwoofer so it was all wired in the back of the car I believe off the back subwoofer but im not 100% sure.
Essentially what I'm getting at is trying to get a recommendation for what kind of head unit to get for my vehicle with the kit shown above. I can do single or double din.
I'm leaning toward trying to get a nice double din CD/DVD player with a USB port. The guy at Best Buy said I need to try to get a higher end model because I need 3 RCA ports because of the bose system not sure how to tell what units have and don't have this. He specifically said to stay away from cheap BOSS/CHINESE head units.
The METRA kit includes wiring harness for about 170$, so I'm trying to find a head unit in the 180-300$ price range, not sure what its gonna cost me to install it all either yet.
Thanks for any suggestions
