    Hey ya'll,

    I'm looking to upgrade the head-unit in my 05 STI and would like suggestions on a good head-unit with blue tooth phone I-pod interface and all that jazz. Doesn't have to be a Nav. unit as I'm not looking to spend a ton on it.

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

    I have had good experiences with JVC here's the ones they have on their site, on amazon.
    $175 - I have this, its works nice, has kinda weird radio controls. Doesn't work with Android USB for me (Might be because of the phone). Cycles through colors. Seems to have best sound abilities (Not very familiar with audio terms)

    $120, It advertises that the USB works for both, seems similar to the first, same weird changing station buttons. Has many neon lights if you like that. Seems to have most features out of all even thought its cheaper.

    $100 Same as second in looks, has less features, same sound quality.

    I second the Pioneer nomination. Just pick either a double din or single of your choice in your price range and it'll work out great
