Recommendations Needed: Car Head unit that will work with the INC for audio streaming

[DjCalvin]

Ok, I'm looking to replace my head unit in my car, and I'm looking for something that will work with the incredible.

The head unit must have these qualities:
1. Must be able to stream audio from android via BT. (last.fm, pandora)
2. Must be under $1500
3. Must have Ipod Controls as well (my daughter has her own ipod touch for her music.. the wiggle's and Dora ain't touching my android.. lol)

I have my incredible working curently through a PAC15-NIS (Nissan ipod control) 's aux input but I want to ditch the wires all together. (minus usb, I have that run through a dock and you can't see it)

I don't care if the head unit does not have Navi or DVD (I prefer if it Doesnt have those but I am flexible)
Can be single din or double dn.


I'm looking for real world examples.. Not a "my friend has this sweet sony that "supposedly" can do it." More along the lines of: "hey, I have this Excelon model XXX that My Incredible's BT syncs up and streams music from last.fm and pandora"

Crutchfield isn't much help, and the guys at best buy freak when I take my phone out and try syncing it to their display units.


Thank you guys in advance.

my DUAL 6300 cost 150.00 works fine streams any audio and answers phone calls not sure about ipod control but it will control an ipod my ipod via bluetooth. and i can hook up all my stuff with the AUX cable also. check crutchfield website and look yourself in their catalog they have a chart and you must look for all the options you need plus they have a bunch and you can get everything you are looking for without navigation for well under 400.

Appreciate the response
As for crutchfield:
You cannot search for anything with A2DP, and those that do have bluetooth: it's not mentioned.
It USED to mentioned in pioneer's site,(said streaming audio) but the devices that did mention it I cannot find. (just going from google searches on forums)

I have the motorola motorokr t505 bluetooth unit and I love it.

Everything I have heard about that motorola piece has been great. Just not what I am looking for.

Don't worry about A2DP all the Bluetooth decks now support stereo audio streaming

Sounds like you have a Nissan.

This is my installation. I have a 350z with a bose stereo. I had the PAC-nsi sat input Installed before. That's a decent installation, but now I removed the PAC unit, and installed a parrot mki9100. You can get a harness from quick connect that provides for a simple installation. However, the first thing you want to do is remove the white attenuator box that comes with the harness, and plug the harness directly into the parrot.

All I can say is WOW. The audio quality is great.

If you leave the white box from the harness in, your audio will be tinny, no bass.

This whole installation was less than $400 installed.

I couldn't be happier. Oh, and the phone part of the parrot works great too.

I've got this JVC:

Amazon.com: JVC KD-A805 - Radio / CD / MP3 player / USB flash player - Arsenal - Full-DIN - in-dash - 50 Watts x 4: Electronics

and it works like a charm, both for iPod control (even with the latest-gen Touch) and for BT media/phone from the DInc. You should be able to find it for $150-200.

The only caveat is that the mic that comes with it is pretty bad, so if I'm using it as a speakerphone, people have a hard time understanding me if I'm going at highway speeds. I've been wanting to take it out and try some different mics, but haven't had time yet. I don't see any reason why you couldn't replace it with a better mic, though.

I have a sony head unit but it uses usb for jump drive or ipod and for the dinc I just use the aux port.wires don't bother me cause I just hide them.
