    Default Car stereo

    I've been looking to buy a nice iPhone compatible car stereo.

    And I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions im looking for.

    Here's a few features im looking for.
    • Charges Phone.
    • Can change song on head unit.
    • Can also change song on Phone.
    • Has a rear USB port so I can run a hidden wire.
    • When someone calls the music turns off ringtone plays threw speakers and the speaker phone will also play threw the speakers
    • Less then $150
    • A nice dock (I realize i may have to buy this seprately but if you can find one that comes with one that would be great.
    • And obviously over all it would be good if it looked nice overall.

    I was looking at this one.
    Sony CDXGT630UI CD Receiver MP3/WMA/AAC Player with USB 1-wire - CDX-GT630UI - Buy.com

    However It does not have a rear usb port and its not confirmed weather speaker phone plays threw the Speakers.



    I have an iPhone 3GS and a 2nd Gen iPod touch both running 3.0

    Does bluetooth work real well on the iPhone?

    Any suggestions on sterios that also work well with it.

    Will bluetooth also work with apps like pandora?

    So after doing quite a bit of research im intrested in buying this head unit and bluetooth adapter

    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/JVC-KD-HDR50-Color-Illumination-Single-DIN-Receiver/dp/B001PL7NZS/ref=pd_cp_e_1"]Headunit[/ame]

    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/JVC-KSBTA200-Bluetooth-Adapter-Microphone/dp/B000PHGBDS/ref=pd_bxgy__text_c"]Bluetooth adapter for headunit [/ame]


    With those two would I beable to pair with the bluetooth adapter and have music play over bluetooth?
