    Looking to replace this HU pretty quick with something else that has better output (apparently the stock speakers are fine it's just the HU) and way way way better ipod integration.

    Are there any head units you guys recommend? I've heard pioneer and alpine mentioned on IWSTI?

    Who could I have do this locally who has tons of experience (won't scratch anything, etc), and is familiar with using the proper harnesses such that I can swap back in the factory unit when it comes time to sell it?

    Would the ipod integration usb port go into the same "area" as it is in the car now? Is that just plug+play on the back of the HU?

    Also does anyone know, does the factory 10" trunk sub work with a non-factory HU?

    Thanks :)

    I have a Kenwood dnx6160 and like it a lot. Way better then the pioneer I used to have. Best part is it uses garman maps so the navigation part works really well. Everything else works good too I just to listen to a lot of radio. so I don't really use them.
