G'day mate, welcome to The Outback (first car)

Nice car! I have a soft spot for subies for some reason, can't explain it.

Ah good, now you have something to put between your pneumatic jack and suspension.

I'm looking for a stereo head for my car. The tape deck thing I had for my iPod crapped out at the beginning of the summer and my FM transmitter just flatout sucks. This way, I'll have a more permanent solution that can last. I want one with an AUX port rather than an iPod interface so I can use streaming radio from my phone as well. suggestions?

My Alpine does both AUX and iPod. It also does USB, as do most midrange car stereos from the leading brands I investigated.

I got a Pioneer DEH-2200UB that features front side USB and AUX in. I can highly recommend it.

Love the color, not big on the black bumpers :L
Still, very, very nice for a first car, good mileage too (i suppose lol).

Alpine FTMFW.

Not really. My unit is buggy as hell. Not buying another Alpine.

I've heard some bad things about newer Alpine units. I really wanted one in my Accord, but after four or five salesmen didn't recommend them to me, at various stores, I ended up buying a Pioneer similar to the one above.

So I went to Best Buy and took the plunge. I got a Pioneer DEH-3300UB. Pic:
