Default Single Din Radio Recommendations Please....

Hey guys, looking for recommendations for a single din AM/FM CD radio for my 2002 C5 Corvette. I am interested in easy to use pre-set channels, and easy to use band selection, not really interested in Ipod or bluetooth capable, just a nice sounding, easy to use radio w/CD. Also, if anyone has a recommendation for a good radio shop in the Houston, Texas area, that would also be helpful. I might have to buy another radio bezel assembly, not really sure yet, because right now the previous owner had a Sony double din radio installed, that radio works fine, but I just do not like the look and the controls on that radio. Thanks very much!

I just read an article on single din HU's and the best bang was the Alpine 123 IIRC or maybe the 125.

But one thing Alpine does, that not all of them do, is use the same amp in the lower priced units as the higher priced units.

If you have steering wheel controls,( I don't in mine) you will want one that can hook up to them.

But anyway, Alpine is my personal favorite. I also like Eclipse really well, maybe just as well. But they are a td bit more pricey
