Replace Radio

<< < (2/2)

Ken Buck:
Have you measured your unit to find out if it matches DIN sizes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_7736 This information would give you a good head start of finding something online that is the right size. Then you'll just need to decide which aftermarket radio fits all your needs and your pocketbook.

--- Quote from: Sean Donohue ---@ Joel... Do you know which Alpine model that was?  Also looked at the Sony and am thinking about it too. We have been really pleased with the Bose Companians in the house so they are our first choice.  Still researching the matter and all inputs welcomed.

We have an Alpine CDE-121.  It is a normal height (single DIN) unit even though the dashboard hole is double-DIN.  We used a matte-black plate behind it and it looks fine as far as we're concerned (there's a lot of matte black on the dash gauges, etc).  We didn't want a navigation system and we already had an XM-tuner so we didn't need one of those either.  The Alpine does have full control of the iPod through a front panel USB port.

I replaced my stock radio speakers with Pioneer speakers shortly after getting my coach from the factory. Although they are not as good as Bose, they fit the same holes and it made a major difference. I bought them at Best Buy. The major advantage of buying there is that they have speakers set up that you can listen to before you buy. I listened to about 5 sets of speakers and chose these Pioneer speakers which sound great.

Sean Donohue:
Found the cure... Bought a BOSE Soundlink Wireless Mobile speaker that sounds great. Connects to the iPhone via Bluetooth.
