I am in the process of purchasing my new Scion xB, and I have a question about the top-of-the-line head unit.

Does anyone have any information on this unit? The people at the dealership didn't know much, and the flyer they gave me says a lot, but I can't tell exactly if it has what I am looking for.

It claims to have bluetooth hands free calling, but I can't tell if I need the BLU LOGIC accessory as well.

Does anyone have a recommendation on the quality of this unit? Is it worth anything near the 2k they want for it?

 

2K??? noooooo. if you don't mind messing with you car a tad bit. you will find that many of us have installed an aftermarket system. The AVIC D3 has been real popular i belive it has blue tooth as well. then there is the what i have the Pioneer avh p4100 DVD which is pretty awesome but no blue tooth. If they want 2000 for just the head unit then im gonna say hell no.

Lets see what everyone else says. Also the 4 color change options or what ever they can do pass on that too check my photos out

click back a few and check my lights that i did for much cheaper and look better from ozinum.com

 

do either of the two head units mentioned hook up to the factory ipod plug and the steering wheel controls? I have been looking for a new HU but i dont want to lose either of those features

 

No you will need to run a new one. I know this for a fact on the pioneer avh. Nut sure on the other

 

there is a cable that pioneer makes its about 45 bucks and boom steering wheel controls come back. save that 2k and put it into the sound system.

 

Factory sound systems always cost double than a comparable aftermarket system. I switched out my stock sounds the first month I had my Box. Thought I would miss the steering wheel controls, but got over that quickly. New head unit, speakers and amps brought increased definition and power to my music.
