I started this thread before I got my CM. I originally planned on not getting a radio because I liked my USB/
ipod capable JVC so much. When I got the vehicle it already had the upgrade radio. I figured, "Hmm, 6 disc mp3 that should hold enough music."
Now that I've had the truck for a few weeks, I know where it comes up short. Like others have mentioned, the radio is a dust magnet, When I wear polarized glasses it's nearly impossible for me to read (don't know if it is the radio or the angle oe the way the light was hitting it), if they show mp3 text why can't they have it scroll thru the entire text?
The speakers also sound crappy. It's like they are trying to go too low, in doing so they just distort. When you dial the bass out with the radio, it sounds worse.
This is how I'll plan my audio upgrade:
1) new front speakers put caps on the rears
2) new head unit
3) amp and sub
I figure that that should give the manufacturers plenty of time to develop products.
