It's a T1808. I believe that it was the base model head unit for Scion about 2 years ago maybe (?). I like it because it retains that "stock" look and feel. (That and I hate aftermarket stereos that have those dumb-ass looking tiny chiclet buttons and controls.)

160W, so it packs a punch even with the stock speakers.

Bought the HU on eBay for about a hundred bucks.

I bought a iPod cable for the back of the HU and ran it into the glove box so the iPod is out of the way and so I wouldn't have to hide it every time I got out of the car. (I got the cable from this eBay seller for about $9.)

I also made sure to swap out the two pins for the AUX connection so I maintained the AUX jack function. (More info in this thread.)

Overall, personally, I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks!

Now that I'm out the army and going to school, there's a little less money for mods, so nothing more big this year. I'm trying to snag one of the VA work studies at school for some extra cash, so if that works out I'd have some spare cash for the "mods fund."

I might try to do the standing rear wiper mod (DIY here) before the winter starts. It's one of my favorite kinds of mods: free!

I asked for some ideas on mods at the beginning of this year (original thread), so once I've put some cash aside, maybe something off the list there.
