Re: Now this is a cool radio! Too bad it's $595!!!

Its cool, but probably not any better than the other radios of this type that are already on the market. It does carry the advantage and cool factor for looking completely stock, but that's it.

And $600 isn't expensive. For this particular radio, yes, but to put it in perspective, my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT was $1900 installed...

Maybe one of these days soon. I've got too many other things to do to my truck first, but I would really like one of these. It really is exactly what I'd like to put in my truck so I'll keep it in the back of my mind.

I won't have $1900 into my entire entertainment and security system. But I'm frugal, champagne tastes on a PBR budget.

I like PBR When my friends buy it anyway

When it comes to my trucks, I tend to splurge

On the PBR note, it's a staple here in Downtown Sacramento...$2 tall drafts anytime of the day/night in most places, and $1 happy hour...gotta love it at that price...

I know the feeling. My budget for the whole interior is $1500 and I've got $400 of that in my seats, carpet and upholstery. It will be tight, but if I keep the stereo under $800, I should be in the clear.
