A few years back I installed this Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS CD Receiver It has bluetooth which is excellent, satellite ready with the SXV200 module. Has two USB plug-ins in the back which is nice for hiding the cords, a removable faceplate, CD player, HD radio, AM/FM, and you can change all the colors. I run green as it's the most subtle. You can tailor three lines of information to show song, album, station, etc. The USB plug in are compatible with the iPhone and generic memory sticks.

The interface is great. Plug in your iPhone and it reads it and starts playing on shuffle or some other way that you set up. You can find music through the radio head or through your iPhone. I have it integrated with a late 80s amplifier which it is compatible with and it sounds great in my cab. I'm not a thumping base kind of guy so the lack of a deep bass is not an issue for me, though it is external subwoofer ready.

The large round button is the volume control and the rockers on either side move you forward or back a song. When you access a menu, the rotary knob and rockers step you through the menus.

I went with Rockford T1652-S Component 5.25" speakers.

A great package and I've been very happy with it. Someday when it gives up the ghost I'll likely go with the Porsche Classic radio after its first refresh if that ever comes.



The controls: rotary knob and rockers.

The hinged faceplate for inserting/removing a CD.

The CD slot with the faceplate removed.
