Inexpensive head unit that will do a decent job
 

Okay,

Planning on getting an affordable head unit (affordable meaning between $100-$200) that will do a decent job. I dont need anything fancy, just a single din HU that plays cd/mp3 and has aux input and capable of running two amps. Appreciate any input.

Here's my vote for under $200:

Pioneer DEH-P5800M (click for specs)

IMO it will be hard to beat the sound of this HU under 2 bills.

specs look pretty good. I probably would like to find a head unit with a mute option (so I can use it with my bluetooth phone car kit) and a way to use the existing radio controls on my steering wheel.

Pioneer makes a kit so you can keep your steering wheel controls HERE.

cool..thanks for the info mike!

The pioneer doesn't have HD Radio or an aux input. Go with this one...LINK

Has everything except a direct steering wheel hookup. You're going to have to go universal unless you spend more than $200.

I just picked the the Pioneer Premier DEH-P680MP for $190 off ebay.

That's a really good price for a really great HU! Congrats! :thumb:

You are going to LOVE the way Pioneer lets you control the door speaker crossovers/highpass freqs and sub levels/slopes/freqs right from the HU.

It's a very adjustable system. I love mine.
