I got a pioneer replacement head unit. It does everything. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Bluetooth, streaming audio, XM, and it sounds pretty good too.

I had a MObridge system in my 2008 Turbo Cab. It worked very well, and it retained a totally stock appearance by utilizing the OE head unit, and not requiring any additional visible buttons or switches to be added. It worked very well for Bluetooth streaming audio too.

tranzitBlu and LApower bluetooth are the best choices imo if you want to retain the stock headunit and get excellent functionality, and great sound at a stellar price.

the tranzitBlu would be easier to install then the LApower since the tranzitBlu does by pass the entire fiberoptic most hur system (you don't have to wire anything thru the Frunk), but since the LApower does to thru the mostHur system, the LApower will have better sound.

the LApower will have better pcm integration as well (can use the pcm to control songs), while the trazitBlu while does show the song names + callers on the PCM, that's as far integration goes.
