Anyone Have a aftermarket stero???

[mach18604]

I was going to get just an iphone cable set up with the stock head unit.. yet with apple changing the connector that may not be the best idea..

I have been looking at the touch screen head units.. Anyone have a set up?? I cants seem to find much on here..

I was planning on doing a radio "delete" and rig it up to where I run my music off my phone and just block/fill in the hole in the dash, but I hit a rough patch two years ago and I'm just barely begining to gwt back on my feet! When finances allow, I'm planning on just getting a decent double din touch acreen from Pioneer and calling it a day! Oh yeah, definitely gonna be upgrading my speakers as well, I've already got plenty of bass in my trunk!

Yeah... Thats what I want.. a dub din. touch screen..

I wonder if our stock amps can easily be upgraded...?

You can upgrade and install any sized amp for your setup, just know that you'll be installing new wires, that is if you're choosing to completely upgrade your whole system. You can just add an amp to your current stock system, but you'll have to get a Schose converter and tap into your wires in the area of your choosing. I went that way, but plan to upgrade my headunit and speakers (and yanking all the stock wires) later on down the road.

I have a 7 inch pioneer touch screen fits and looks great also have the iPod cable coming out the middle compartment not sure what is called lol but also updated my speakers and have 2 12's in the trunk so sound is better than before

Bought my Mach the Saturday before last had the JVC KW-ADV64BT installed the following Monday. Couldn't be happier, has the iPhone cable but I had to pay extra. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.

i had the pioneer avic-d1 and then i upgraded to the avic-x90bt a few years back. both are touch screen with direct ipod integration (displays ipod info and can control from the touch screen). newer models can connect via bluetooth with iphones and android so no cable hassles.

i recommend changing out the whole system. rip out the old amps, speakers and harness. the stock system is junk. i have alternator whine and i've searched high and low for a fix (grounding, filters, etc) and nothing has worked. im planning on getting the jl audio hd series amp someday. i think they are small enough to fit where one of the stock amps are.

I might wait till I get my hands on a Iphone 5 whenever the store has them.. I hear they changed the cable on it..

Im not looking to shake the car apart.. I bet if I upgrade the door speakers Ill be real happy.. I want the touch screen so I can play a music video on there

You can upgrade the HU and door speakers, but if you use the stock amps (some HU's have adapter harnessez), you'll never get the full potential and sound as you would from an aftermarket set up for your doors. If you plan on installing a little aftermarket amp for the doors, well then you'd be on the rlad to yanking the stock wires out.

I got a kenwood execleron. I love it. It's got an aux Input and a USB input. I just plug my phone into the USB and plays my music and charges my phone.
