I'm looking to add Sirius to the car and going with the tuner is the way to go. I'm looking to get a relatively cheap HU that I can hook the tuner to. I'm trying to decide between these four. It seems they all satellite ready and play MP3's so my only other needs are for a good HU which won't break the bank, is reliable, and that matches the dash lights well. Thoughts?

Oops I voted wrong I would choose any JVC deck over all the ugly Sony decks... but personally I'm going to hold out on getting a new deck until (hopefully) they start releasing decks with direct input for Ipods..

The only thing made by Sony that I would buy is a t.v., Everyone that I know that have purchased a Sony car stereo has wished they hadn't.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not too concerned about Ipod input since I don't have one nor do I have plans to. My main reason for putting the Sony up there is because I think it matches the dash lights better and I had one in the past and had no problems with it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-06-JVC-KD-DV420 ... iewItemhow about this one? i like JVC better. they are really pushing the giga mp3 formatt strongly. it's 30$ (dollars) more than the expensive jvc you picked.

If you can get any Pioneer, that'd be better than both JVC and Sony. Much more reliable, Sirius compatible, and they have better amplifier circuits. But if you need to go between JVC and Sony, probably JVC.

I know I am in the minority but I have had my Sony radio for over 3 years now and never had a problem with it! I guess I am one of the few.......
