I'm in the market for a 2004 Toyota Solara CD player with bluetooth or an aux in. I have put in my own stereos and speakers before so I can do the work myself. I just want to make sure I buy something that is compatible, the only aftermarkets I am finding are for the camry. Will a camry CD player work? Thanks for the help guys.

get an aux adapter that plugs into the back of the oem radio.
>>17872236
Is that my best option? I have the money to upgrade, I guess that would save me some money just sticking a aux in.
>>17872222
>He doesn't have Android Auto/CarPlay
>>17872663
that's the best option period. aftermarket head units all look like shit. With an adapter you get to keep the oem aesthetic, especially if you install it flush.
>>17872663
Don't listen to this autist >>17872813
Do you have a single DIN slot or a double?
>>17873190
I am not sure I want to say double, this is what's in there now.

Pic related it what I have stock.
>>17874895
Yeah, that looks like a double din, so what features do you want in a head unit?
>>17875149
I'm looking for Bluetooth connectivity and auxiliary input. I can live without aux in, but I really want something that will connect to my phone with Bluetooth.
>>17875426
What's your budget?
>>17875426
bluetooth is shit. keep the oem head unit. If you must have bluetooth get a 3.5mm bluetooth dongle.
>>17876287
>Bluetooth is shit
>get this peripheral that will make it even worse!
>>17876259
250 USD is max budget. I plan to get speakers at a later date.
>>17876768
why do you want bluetooth so bad?
>>17876768
Here you go, has Bluetooth/AUX on front panel and HD Radio tuner built-in

>that hideous aftermarket trash
literally any 2 din headunit will work, they usually have little adapter plates that go around the side to get rid of any gaps if you want.
Go find a website that sells headunits and select the box that says 2 din/double din (https://www.amazon.com/Car-Stereo-Receivers-Double-Din-Audio/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A10980601%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A3414586011) and try to find one that you think looks alright. Lots of different options with different features.

You'd rather I recommended a gawdy DVD unit? Jesus Christ you're a pleb

>keeping obsolete tech because muh aesthetics (IN A FUKKIN TOYOTA)
>>17876804
>no HD Radio
Into the trash
>>17876814
it's 15 pages of different options anon
>>17876818
I presented a unit with good aesthetics, upper model range (eXcelon), with better features directly
You gave him trash
>>17876813
you can add an aux jack with the original. that's all he needs. bluetooth is a meme. audio quaity is meh and it kills your device battery faster. all because you're too lazy to plug in a cable?

Apple cargay is shit
>>17876821
I didn't see what you posted till after, you're right that's a really good choice though. Definitely worth it to go with a quality unit. I didn't link to a specific unit cause I know its subjective what he'll like
>>17876845
What's funny is anyone that has reviewed those units all say that CarPlay was designed as an after thought compared to Android Auto
>>17876832
This is truth. I used to have an aftermarket bt headunit and after a couple months realized using the aux in was infinitely better every time. Faster too.
Bluetooth is T R A S H
Here you go op. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00LA6136I/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

>I used to have a sniffy attitude toward receivers. To me, they were a compromise product for the kind of listener who wouldn't or couldn't be bothered with the superior sound of separate components. But as I looked into the details of the MAC6700 stereo receiver, my attitude took a serious hit. That's because McIntosh has clearly designed this beast of a receiver to deliver performance every bit as stunning as their separate amps, preamps, and tuners, only with the convenience of a single chassis. And they provided all the inputs needed for music lovers to enjoy their favorite analog and digital sources.
Well shit anon this is obviously what op needs. Why did anybody waste time with other suggestions when this was here the whole time?
>>17876914
lel, I didn't even read the reviews that's a good one
>>17876778
For phone calls not for music.
>>17876793
Thank you.
>>17876804
Thank you anon.
>>17876840
Thank you too.
>>17876863
The blue tooth is more for calls less for listening to music.
>>17876869
Way out of my range here's a (you).
>>17876914
For over 6G it better be good lol.
