Thanks @Chris. I don't listen to much music in my Mazda (noisy cabin) and don't think I need a powerful speaker system in my Jeep either. I only want to add bluetooth and that's why the 1factory option seems appealing. Your new system is spec'd really well .. I bet it is LOUD if you crank 'er up to 11!
Factory looking head units with Bluetooth capability?

I use a Pioneer. The BT works well, since I got it from Crutchfield it came with the wiring adapters.. no cutting of the factory harness.
I like the functionality of the Pioneer stuff. I never get the bottom of the line, i go a few steps up.
When I'm parked somewhere I'm not sure about I remove the face and put it in the steel console.

OP
It's insane. Top off, doors off, and this thing is loud as hell on the highway at 70 mph. I absolutely love it!
My ram is a Laramie and came with the upgraded infinity sound system so I didn't want to loose any of that. The wireing adapters needed to make an aftermarket head unit play nice were going to be more than the deck. I tripped over 1 factory and thought well if they can do it, so can I. Did a bit of research and disabled the tape deck so it thinks there is always a cassette in there and wired in an aux port to the tape deck amp. I then took a small aux to bt adapter and glued it where the tape would be inserted and wired it into said aux port. Works great except that I picked a crappy bt adapter and the battery can't charge as fast as it drains. I'll replace that later as it's easy to do.
I'm next going to mod a jeep boom box as soon as I get the amp fixed in it. I plan to use a bt board I got off eBay to have a completely hidden mod and use the tape deck buttons to control the bt board.
With a bit of research it's a really easy mod if you have any skill at all with a soldiering iron.

PM me the vin if you want. I can send you the original build sheet. If you go through with it I would make sure it has the 4.10 gears. Nothing worse than buying a rubi and finding out it has 3.73s. If you eventually upgrade to 35s you won’t habe to regear. That’s the one nice thing about the jks. The front fenders that’s a different story. Looks good tho. How many miles?

While doing my research last night I came across the Clarion M508. It is the best aftermarket option I could find made by a great audio company.check out the attached pictures of it installed.
I am converting all my interior to white LEDs so I think it will look sharp. Looks clean and it's meant for marine use!

I’d avoid that unit, simply because of the cost and that the Chinese knockoff is way better and cheaper.
I have the knockoff. It runs android and kicks ass.

Some day we will live in a world where someone with a revolutionary radio hits the market that doesn't look like it belongs in a 99 civic
Like thes? Haven't looked closely yet, but they look interesting.
