    From your large list, Boss, Dual and Jensen should all be trashed, they’re garbage.

    Second, budget? Features you’d like? Phone? Adding an amp or two? Need the 411 before suggestions fly.

    Not adding any amp. As long as I can use bluetooth to play music from my phone. Back up camera hook up. maintain steering wheel controls. Not going anything major just pull the one I have and put in a new one. I have one of those idata link thing now. and no there is no secondary budget sorry to say

    Okay, iDataLink is already there, awesome. Backup camera, I’m assuming, was working because of the iDataLink. So, I’m going to suggest either the https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500ILXW650/Alpine-iLX-W650.html?tp=5684 or https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113DMX7709/Kenwood-DMX7709S.html?tp=5684

    They are both “Mech-less” meaning no CD/DVD. They have Bluetooth, and wired Android Auto for maps, streaming apps speech-to-text for hands free phone calls and texts. Difference is the OS. I prefer KENWOOD but have had Alpines before.
