Radio replacement

I have a 2002 Z06 and have decided to wait for the second year C7s (if I like them) so I want to replace my factory radio.

Any good recommendations out there?

I would like to connect it to an ipod and an external satellite radio (just regular aux input) and if possible the ability to add a bluetooth phone attachment- (though I have been hearing some bad things about them)

thanks

Recommend calling Dennis at http://www.doubledmods.com/

He knows a lot about Corvette stereos and is very popular in the audio section.

I just went on crutchfield and picked up a jvc head unit with bluetooth. Took about an hour to install, and I play music through bluetooth from my iphone, and it works very well. Cost $165 with the xsvi-2004 kit, and i think i sold the stock head unit one for like $80.

the bluetooth does take a bit more time to sync than in my wrx stock stereo, but it mostly works fine.

I love the Pioneer Premier. Reasonably priced and it does everything for which you are asking. It has iphone/iPod connector, standard AUX, blue tooth, USB for a memory stick. Comes with a mic for hands free. I use it extensively with my HTC Android for Pandora via blue tooth and hands free phone. Here's a post I did on the complete install:
