Default headunit suggestions

Hi,

My aftermarket headunit (alpine) died. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a great headunit? I'm not interested in a double-din/nav. I just want a deck that has solid connections for connecting amps, bluetooth and Iphone.

Thanks and yes I'll search the forums too.

Rich

I love my Kenwood 994 it does all of that and the Bluetooth works great.

Yeah really...

When I got the car it had an upgraded system in it with all the amps, subs etc. I would have never put this stuff in the car myself.
Actually I'm thinking about trying to return it to stock but it's probably cheaper just to replace the HU.

I rarely use the HU anyways!

I also have the X994. Kenwood and Pioneer have been my favorites for the past decade.

I wanted Bluetooth and I wanted to use my iPod for my music and the Kenwood 994 does a good job with both.
