jbl with steering controls, which pioneer head unit?

i need to know of a pioneer HU that will accept the bluetooth and steering wheel controls on my 09. any ideas?

 

depends on what HU you get. some come stock with bluetooth, and they have add ons for bluetooth if you get a HU that doesnt come with it already. You will need swi-pac for the steering wheel controls. These are kind of a pain to install but worth it after its all said and done. Make sure the head unit supports steering wheel controls. I used crutchfield. their website will tell you all you need to know about the hu you are looking at.

 

sounds good, do you have a favorite HU?

 

I have an alpine but the pioneers are great HU. I would suggest finding one with the add-ons you want and go from there. How I picked a HU is I went to crutchfield and outfitted my truck to see what HU would fit. I then narrowed it down by :
1. price
2. ease of use
3. RMS output
4. what was included or could be added on to the HU

as long as you get a HU thats a reputable brand you will not be disappointed.

Are you going double din (DVD/GPS), or single din(traditional HU)? I went single din and got an alpine cda 105. I love that little radio, it has great ipod capabilities.

 

double din with touch would be nice, i only want a pioneer because i have the ipod box and other connections that will transition easily

 

In that case go pioneer, they have some great HU. I dont know about DD stuff but I am sure someone else can chime in here and give you better advice on something you are looking for.

 

There is also a groupbuy going on right now for a Pioneer ACIC Z110BT. Great Pioneer unit with touchscreen, blutooth, and with the newest SWI-PAC, you can use your steering wheel controls for just about anything.
