[QUOTE="livinlegend, post: 2537347, member: 573185"] I'll ditch the factory HU for sure. Maybe get the Alpine CDA-9856 (this would look nice in my car for sure). Budget I think would probably be somewhere around $500-600 but the HU wont figure into it (so HU will not dent my budget). I really appreciate the help by the way I know I am a total n00b.
