What Stereo Reciever?

[gmaster456]

Have a 98 Olds LSS I'm looking to upgrade the original audio receiver.

My requirements are:

CD player (Not exremely important but would still be nice to have)
Bluetooth
iPod/Android direct control for my iPod Touch and Nexus 4
Doesn't look like crap
Under $100

Any recommendations?

I really like this one but it's slightly over budget

You forgot the link 😉

I'm not sure about control for your Nexus. IIRC they typically show up as a media drive so it won't be quite as "intuitive" as connecting your iDevice.

Sorry about that. Posted the link. And thanks for the suggestion.

I don't typically like Sony audio products but that there's nothing wrong with that unit.

You should go to a store and check some out. Maybe I'm just being picky, but I found that I didn't like how the volume wheel felt on JVC and Sony units. It just felt too delicate?

The pioneer and alpine ones felt ok to me. At least for me, something like that would annoy me.

I ended up getting a used pioneer deh-8400 off craigslist for $80.
