What's the best radio available for me?

[corys00]

Needing to replace my best buy generic, crappy, old CD player in my 3000GT. I'm big time noob on this, so I turn to the audiophiles out there.

I only have a few requirements.

USB plug, auxilary jack, HD compatible and under $200.

Brands don't matter. Suggestions?

Well, if you're just running off of the headunit amp it's not going to sound great regardless but JVC and Pioneer have some HD-Built in models. I loved my JVC HD headunit when I had it.

If it's double din this one is great, HD-Ready with USB / AUX.

There are some others from Dual but the quality isn't too great with those.

I'll be putting in an AMP sometime this summer.

Sony and JVC have great HD Radio chip sets in them. HD Radio is very touchy you need a strong FM signal to decode the Digital stream that the HD is in.

Right now most stations broadcasting HD only broadcast at 1% of their analog power. So a 50,000 watt stations would only be operating the digital stream at 500 watts.

I personally like the build quality on JVC radios vs Sony. Just a personal preference though.
