    Default Anyone swapped out the stock radio for something more current?

    Curious what you went with and any issues with the install?

    Are you looking to mod your dash or a stock fit head unit?

    I could mod the dash I suppose, if choosing not to would limit what options I have. I'm no audiophile, if the factory one worked decently I probably wouldn't replace it. However it is nice to have a DVD player, haven't even tried bluetooth in anything.

    There are adapters to accept single-DIN units that you don't have to chop anything up for.

    I'm just installing an inexpensive "media player" (No CD player) in the LTS. I never listen to the radio, but usually have a bunch of stuff on an SD card (Have ripped all of my CD's down or have other digital files) and on trips we'll use the BT to play Pandora from our phones.

    I have no want/need for any kind of video player in my car's head unit, personally.
