What's a good car stereo I can get for around $200-250?

>>16643991
A replacement stock one.

>>16644086
I don't think I'd know where to get a stock R34 stereo.

And besides, I need one with bluetooth connectivity, I don't like using an AUX.

>>16644108
Bluetooth is shit. An aux adapter or tape to aux adapter is perfectly fine.

>>16644117
But the wire gets in the way with an AUX.

>>16644117
Bluetooth is shit. I can confirm this. Just get an cheap Chinese am FM cassette radio.

whats wrong with blutoof m8

lets me use my steering wheel audio controls to change songs rather than fishing for my phone while driving

>>16643991
Pioneer makes some decent head units in the $100-$150 USD range. I just installed one in my pickup truck today that has bluetooth, audio jack, front usb port, mic for hands-free calls, etc. Make sure you get one that has customizable lighting so you can match it to your car's interior.

Pioneer Kenwood and JVC are good

>>16643991
If you don't want one that looks like dogshit get a Kenwood or Pioneer with Android Auto and Car Play support. You will never use a CD or cassette or DVD player so don't even bother.

just picked up a lightly used kenwood flac playing one for $15

XAV-AX100

Over your budget but don't skimp on this shit. Realistically you want something that can interface with your smartphone and that's about it.

You weren't kidding about it being over my budget, god damn.

Get a Pioneer used for like $50

>>16644123
Just stick your phone to the dash and angle it towards you

Go to the various online sites such as Crutchfield and see what units are the current rage for pioneer, alpine, kenwood. You want one with a removable faceplate. That kiboshes the thieves.

>>16643991
The car is only original once. Keep it original. Use an adapter.

I've installed multiple pioneer units and they always get compliments / work very well.

The best thing to do is get a tiny 32-64gb flashdrive, one of those ones the size of a penny and simply plug it into the head unit with all your music organized by artist -> album -> 01-trackname.mp3

Bluetooth is compressed and flat out worse than... anything. Aux is better.

If you have to use aux and don't want a cable getting in the way, either tie up the cable neatly or buy a cable like pic related, then get a magnetic phone mount where you slip a magnet underneath the phone case and just stick the phone to the mount and plug in the aux cable each time, and pretend the phone is your head unit.

get one that plugs into the back of the radio, like where the cd changer is/would be

>>16645079
Honestly for a double DIN it's worth it. Or you can get a Kienzle single DIN and fill the second DIN with boost controllers and other shit.

The jaycar headunit is pretty decent, not studio grade but fine for driving a loud road noise r34
Also most people who ask this question have no idea what quality audio is
