bought a new head unit. The old one had seen better days, and recently just quit working all together. This one was from my old tow rig, before going into the Jeep, so it's been around for a while.
Got a good deal at Best Buy on an open-box Sony HD radio. I was actually there to look at the 'marine' radios, until I saw the open-box deal. The thing I didn't like about the marine radio, and like about this one is that the faceplate doesn't have a slot for a CD... you have to fold down the whole faceplate. I reason it's less likely to get dust, mud, water, etc inside. I don't really even play CDs anyway, so the hastle of folding down the faceplate is moot. They both had input jacks on the front (this one also has a USB). For the price difference between the cheap marine radio and this one (and the fact that this one has HD radio), I couldn't pass it up. I got a $180 radio for $130. Can't beat that. If it lasts as long as the last $130 radio, I'm happy. :thumbsup:
Read a bunch of reviews on this thing, and people seem to like it. If it warms-up enough, I'll install it tomorrow.
