Radio Replacement options / Replacing OEM GPS

Denicio · 04-21-2011, 01:54 PM

OK, i have a 2010 insight with the fancy OEM GPS system.

The IPOD integration is painful and the GPS is frustrating at best.

I have the controls on the steering wheel and Microphone in the ceiling for the phone...THOSE i want to keep!

So, anyone know what Radio Options are available to me? I need a solid GPS, REALLY good ipod integration and i want to keep my steering wheel controls and phone mic.

Is there a radio out there that is plug and play, or almost plug and play? I dint want to have to muck about with the USB cable thats already run. Simply put I'd love to find a stereo thats ready to go. Plus a tad more power would be nice too!

Anyone know of a radio that fits this description?

Id be interested in your oem one when you are done.

Most aftermarket radios are universal fir with many wires and options. You can get plugs for you car, then match the wires withthe features your car offers vs the head unit. crutchfield is a good vendor of many that offer complete kits and instructions.

This is the

model

I will be installing in my car. I don't really car about bluetooth support. I like the fact that I can use my iPhone's apps with the headunit.
