I have a 2004 sc430 and I love the car. I just would like the headunit to be a little bit better: (i.e satelite radio, bluetooth, and ipod interface). I tried to go to a custom stereo shop and they got 3/4 of the way through the install and could not get factory navigation to work. I am ok with sound not working but would really like for the navigation unit to still work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Or know anyone that does these type of installs in Texas??

BTW - They re-installed factory stereo.

I went through a similar issue. Wanted a good satellite radio interface, wanted mp3 support, Bluetooth phone, etc. Ended up installing a CarPC. I use the factory Nav screen as the system display (can easily switch back and forth between the CarPC and the factory Nav) and a VaisTech interface for the audio so, I still have the factory head-unit. Could not be happier.

I don't own an iPod (I know...I'm one of only 7 people who don't...sue me) but, the software I'm running (Centrafuse) also supports an iPod interface.

P.S. I don't come to this sub-forum often but, if you have any questions about it, feel free to PM me.
