Want a New Stereo

[Ditty]

OK y'all...I'm THINKING about getting a new stereo for Brisco. WHY?? B/c I have noticed lately that my iPod adapter (FM thingy) is getting a lot of static and I would REALLY like to have a GPS system. I'm a little partial to Pioneer b/c that is what I have right now, (as well as the iPod adapter that plugs into the back of the stereo, but it doesn't work with MY Stereo.)

SO, anyone with a Pioneer Indash LCD stereo, post some picks and let me know what you like/dislike about your systems. I'm going to be running around to some pawn shops to find something in my price range.

This is by no means a "I'm getting a new stereo" post. I'm just tossing the idea around, and if I can find something cheap that will work with my iPod thingy, I just might buy it. Thanks in advance!!!

I'm saving my $ for the Pioneer Avic-N2 or N3 - it's a pretty sweet setup.

Yeah, those are cool. Those are the ones I have looked at in the past. Like them because they are a double din unit.

I like 'em too...just not the price. I would prefer something with a flip-up screen so I can keep my pocket that is under the stereo now. It holds my ciggy pack perfectly.

I have an alpine, and they make an adapter that plugs into my ipod, and lets me control it from the deck (or remote). It's WAAAY better than an fm modulator. I've had if for a couple of years, I can't think of what the model # is, I'd bet you could get one now for a reasonable price. I'll try to find it. I don't have my truck today, but I'll look online and see if I can find it

yea i have a double din jeson and i leave my ipod in the glove box and can use the touch screen or remote to control my ipod its way cool the ipod only leaves the glovebox to be updated!!

I have always been a Pioneer man until they newest models. I just don't like the styling anymore and that is 1/2 my decision. I have an alpine now that is ipod compatible (even though I dont have an Ipod) And I love it. Took some time getting use to cause I always owned pioneers but is an awesome radio.

I have the iPOD adapter but it doesn't work with my current Pioneer stereo...hence me having to use the durn FM Modulator. I dunno what it is but over the last year or so, it's getting harder and harder to find a station that isn't being used, and/or getting a lot of interferance from powerlines etc. That's what I get for buying a Stereo in Japan!

Another question, does the stock radio in my 02 excursion limited have a jack in the back for xm or for an Ipod?

I don't know by model year, but one way to tell is if you have an AUX button on the control panel. If you don't have an AUX button then you don't have inputs for the Ipod.
