Default BT Headunit Recommendations

Has anyone purchased a Bluetooth headunit? I drove a Prius last week and I really liked the convenience of hooking my phone up to the BT in the headunit.

I talk on my phone and listen to music in my car frequently so tinniness should be minimal.

Any recs for best bang for the buck BT headunit? Cheaper the better. I don't need touchscreen.

Hello Kenzo42,

I am in the same dilemma. Honda Accord head unit radio does not provide sound. I have been researching the cheapest option with AUX, USB, Bluetooth and CD to install. I have visited Walmart and found units for about one hundred dollars, but I have to get an installation kit. There are some nice options and some cheap options. I found several websites for suggestions. I personally am thinking of the following:

1. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDX2...KD-X250BT.html
2.
Amazon.com: Honda Accord Radio Install Kit: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Honda Accord Radio Install Kit: Car Electronics

Good luck,

And like most sites, you need a RA, [return autorization] from them before shipping anything back, you pay shipping, they deside if it is something they will cover.

I recommend always buying from an authorized dealer, online or retail, I always support my local retail outlets for anything I buy, so if I have a problem, I can just go back to that store for warranty problems if I have them, I can also talk to a salesman face to face not play telephone or Email/text tag with someone. 94
