Default Audio/Radio for iPhone

What type of radios are you guys buying to run your iPhone? I am interested in finding a good double din radio and possibly touch screen to play music off my iPhone in good quality with no back feed from the GSM network.

Check out Kenwood. I had the Pioneer F90BT and while it worked fine I prefer the Kenwood double dins interface.

I kinda like this JVC but like I said I know nothing about headunits.

Yeah that will work great if you want the Bluetooth. If you dont care about it you can drop down to the 318, save some money.

Right now I have a Kenwood KDC-X794 I think is what the number is. Its just a single din though, my iPhone works perfectly with it for music playback. I don't have the 994 which is the bluetooth model so I can't respond on how that is. I sold my double din to pay for taxes 2 years ago and just got this one as a temporary replacement. Haven't felt the need to upgrade again so have just stuck with this.

I stuck with my stock head unit for cost and simplicity since it has built-in Sirius and Sync, but if it wasn't so expensive to change everything over I'd get a Kenwood DDX418.

In my 05' F150 I had the Pioneer Z130. I really liked the iPod connectivity it had. It was really easy to navigate and was intuitive. The GPS was rock solid as well!

I really like that one Zach. Pandora integration is totally badass

Amazon has a good price on it, make sure to read the reviews though. Some 2-3 start reviews in there.
