Help me pick my next head unit - Toyota Yaris Forums

schleppy · 08-08-2010, 05:45 PM

I'm looking for a new head unit for my Yaris. I only need two things (maybe three?).

1.) Bluetooth audio (A2DP)
2.) Full speed iPod control via a REAR jack (I want to run the cable into the glovebox)
3.) Be $200 or under.

I've found a number of decks that are close, but they all seem to have front USB/iPod ports, and that's a deal breaker.

My top contender is the Clarion CZ500 or Alpine CDE-103BT

Any other suggestions?

Thanks all!

Of the 2, I would go with the Alpine any day. Better built, features work better, and in the price range its hard to beat an alpine. If you read reviews first, even at Crutchfield, you'll find the CDE-103 to be a better unit too. The JVC Arsenal units sound good but bluetooth is sketchy at times.

Except it doesnt fit the op's budget. If i were the op, id postpone the purchase until i could afford the direct oem fit hu.

I don't want a flashy HU like that. I just listen to music from my iPod and Pandora (via my phone). I have no need for all the extra stuff.
