For my wife's birthday in a few weeks I want to upgrade the audio system in her Sequoia. It is a 2005 model with the factory radio/cd player. What is a good option to get something put in that she will be able to hook up to her iphone for music? We do not have many audio shops around here so I was thinking of going to Best Buy for the product/installation. Any problems with using them?
Thanks for any advice. ETA: Can you still use the steering wheel audio controls with an aftermarket radio? |

i bought this and it works. no wiring needed. bluetooth the iphone, which is what i use, to it and play it through the radio. also works as a handsfree

ETA: Can you still use the steering wheel audio controls with an aftermarket radio? You will need a aftermarket HU to allow wheel controls to keep that. Otherwise you're better off going the cheaper route like Wash mentioned, though I don't understand where the mic is on that item. |

Lots of people have mic issues in their cars in general. Either that device has a really good mic and/or your car has a very low DB level inside when at speed. |
| The USA Spec that is available for your wife's Sequoia let's you continue using the steering wheel controls. I have one (PA15-TOY) in my Land Cruiser and it works great. |

Have you checked out Crutchfield?
I've bought my last 3 stereos and 2 alarm systems from Crutchfield because they let you search only what fits your specific vehicle. Plus they include wiring adapters which plug into the factory harness that makes a very painless installation. |
