Looking to upgrade the head unit in my C5Z. I would like Bluetooth streaming and something that is easy to install. I am leaving the stock speakers for now but might upgrade later. I don't care about nav and trying to keep the price down.

Thanks

For single Dins I like the Kenwood eXcelons. The current KDC line has what you need.

You can get a $10 mounting plate, but if you want to get fancy check out the illuminated plates HERE

Dennis can probably hook you up with almost everything you need in one box

Thanks for the info. After doing a little more research it looks like I can run a cable from the stock head unit to my android phone to stream music. That plus the kicker upgrade would run about the same as a new head unit. Not sure what the better option is
