Hey, I'm new here, wanted to say HI and ask a question. Just got a good deal on a 2010 XB with low milage.
Anyway. I'm looking to upgrade my radio. Mainly looking for GPS and Serious XM, I pod, touch screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

 

I suggest Kenwood for both quality sound and flexibility. In my opinion, although Alpine was once a great value, its commercial success has resulted in it becoming second tier in terms of what you get for your money. Personally, I'm primarily interested in performance as it benefits me !

 

Hey thanks for the info! Is there a modle you sugest or is it the Kenwood for XB?

 

I second the kenwood, I'm running the 6180. It has GPS, BT and DVD built in. If you want Ipod, Sat Radio or HD Radio you can buy the external components for them. If you want bluetooth streaming though youll have to step up to the 7180.

I also recommend staying away from the Alpine stuff low quality compared to the old stuff.

Pioneer has also lowered in quality a bit, still good but just not as good as they once were.

 

I'm running a Kenwood KDC-X792 head unit, though perhaps like many, it's received criticism for user convenience when driving. My answer is keeping the steering wheel audio controls operational is mandatory ! RedDragons' HU capabilities are easily greater than mine (I don't personally need all that), it's all up to you as the user !
