That's right, now that i installed my BT speaker and amp kit, I'm on the hunt for a "head unit" and just not sure which one to get. What are you guys using for a head unit?

The choices are limitless. Just depends what features you are looking for. Bluetooth, Ipod, USB, CD etc., Most here use Sony, Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer,Clarion. . You name it and it's here. I have a Sony that I love dearly but most of my friends are going Alpine and Kenwood.

I have and love my, Sony MEX-GS610BT. BT now sells this H.U.
There are tons of features on it and it's powerful. What I really like is, with the newer Sony HU's, you can download an app and use your phone as a remote to control the HU.

And, I have the BT retro kit.
