Default stereo for Christmas

Hi Guys,

For Christmas my wife is getting me a stereo for my corvette with everything. can you tell me how the single din stereos with the 7" screen that comes out, are they sturdy or cheap? Or should I just stick with a regular din stereo? She's getting me stereo, speakers and amp, and new bezel.

I have a single Din stereo in one of my vehicles and can tell you it is very durable and the convenience and modern features to connect are pure love. I could never go back.

The big drawback is space for the screen to come out and open. whatever is 2" above the stereo in the dash becomes unusable unless you close the screen. A minor inconvenience for alot of positives. Very easy to navigate the stereo and control.

I have a Nakamichi as I wanted alot of the high end features and it was just under $500. A very happy user here!!
