That's what I put into mine. Luckily I had a friend at Best Buy so I got at half price almost. Here is the link to my post: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=619.

How do you like that head unit. I am between that unit and the Sony MP70. Is it hard to see the panel when it's open, being that the radio is up so high?

All the specs are simialr on the Sony anf the Pioneer. I like the Sony because the display can be orange and match the dash

Not to start a flame war or anything, but it is generally accepted that Sony mobile audio sucks. (Don't flame, please...if it works for you, great.)I'd go with the Pioneer. I'd also consider Alpine, JVC, and Eclipse. The higher-end Alpines have selectable red/green displays.

I agree with Celos. Sony car audio product don't have a good reputation. I was also considering Sony but Pionner have better quality

I have had 3 sony head units, and the best one was the cheapest one I bought at a flea market. And yes, the reception and quality was sub-par on the first 2. I have always been partial to Panasonic and Aiwa myself.
