I would like a radio that has bluetooth, cd and maybe mp
capabilities. My hearing is damaged so I will be using stock speakers
(I can't hear "quality"). I would like to keep it it single din just because.
Suggestions? Brands, models and if an adapter is needed.
I went to Crutchfields site and was over whelmed by the stuff.
there auto select system wasn't working.
I have a 07 HB. with the base unit.
Thanks,
Norton

IMO, Pioneer is the best for the money.

the factory unit that came in my 2013 has bluetooth, and can play mp3/wma cd's. if you don't want to get the dash single din kit, and the wiring adapter, maybe look at that? otherwise, pioneer is the best, like silver said :)
for a stock stereo, it looks good, too!

^^^^^ I have the same unit as above in my 2014. I like the text function, but the stock system in my 2007 = better sound quality.

Old one was made by Fujitsuten, that's why.
I think the new ones are made by panasonic?

:thumbsup: ...and the 2007 vintage head unit looks an awful lot like the head unit Toyota put in some Lexus models a few years before that.

Toyota have used many brands throughout the years... Denso, Nakamichi, Pioneer, Mark Levinson, Panasonic just to name a few.
Fujitsuten is the maker of Eclipse Audio

I was almost positive the 2012+ models were made by Pioneer... At least the one like in post #3. Not as sure about the 2012 L model without bluetooth/HD.
