So I want to buy a new deck for my car with built in HD radio as well as iPod interface, but so far I can't find shit! The closest thing I've found is a JVC that has HD radio (JVC-KD-HDR1) built in, and then I'll have to get their iPod interface (another $50) for my iPod. Does anyone know if;

*JVC makes a good stereo? (I've always had Pioneers, so I don't know.)

*With the JVC iPod interface (KS-PD100) I can still see the screen of my iPod? (My girl watches movies on it when we're on road trips and I'd like to keep that capability)

*Can I get an adapter to go from my stock stereo harness to that JVC so I'm not cutting anything?

*The cheapest place to buy when I'm ready?

*Any other suggestions for my situation?

I'm trying to get all the info I can because I don't want to spend more than $200 to get this all done. Any help would be great. Thanks.

all built in HD radio decks require you to buy a adaptive attena that goes in the back of your deck so you can see all channels etc on your screen which runs around $120+ and for the ipod interface they go for $20 at bestbuy

I suggest you alpine or pioneer


I explain this to ppl everyday at work :) to be able for you to use your ipod on the stock deck there would need to be a 3.5mm aux jack some of the 05+ cars have it in the back of the deck where you can juss take your deck out and run a aux cord or you can ghetto rig your harness with eletrical tape with wired to a aux jack cord <---- you have good chance on messing up ur radio when crosswiring wires in your harness tho

Alright, does anyone have anything good or bad to say about Jensen? Because so far they're looking better than anyone, with JVC close behind.
