Since you guys have an audio section I hope you don't mind me (a Sky owner)posing a question over here.
Back story (you can skip if you want): I had originally intended to get a stereo from an HHR (which is on it's way) and do the face transplant in order to get the USB capability. Upon further research I discovered GM had no love for the Android smart phone. So charging (if that even worked) was about all I could get by hooking my Galaxy S7 to that port. I was then going to just transfer my playlist over to a flash drive (for music)and hook my phone up via the AUX port (for streaming). I already installed an Onstar bluetooth module for phone calls. This was all because my XM was still working (I just bought the car about a month ago) Now the XM subscription is over so I'm exploring aftermarket options.
I've narrowed it down to two options the Pioneer AVH-X5800BHS and the Kenwood DDX773BH . Both have very similar options. One feature I like on the Pioneer is the ability to tilt the screen (which may or may not help when the top is down). For whatever reason Crutchfield is WAY over priced on the Pioneer ($430 vs. most everywhere else at $300) but CF is very competitive on the Kenwood. I know I'll be needing their tech support during installation so CF is an almost must.
Any thoughts on these two candidates?
