Default Audio Questions

Does any one know of a head unit set up that isnt a radio? All I want is to be able to plug my iPhone into a head phone jack and hear my music in the Jeep along with my sub as well. Reason being is I dont listen to the radio much as theres to much bs now a days. Just want something simple but effective.

What do you have in there now? Why not just get a basic radio and not use the radio function? In my daily I have an alpine in there and I only use the USB option and just leave it set to that.

I agree- I don't think there is a price increase for having a radio in there. They are sometimes pretty useful (ever drive past the "tune to xxx.xx" for road information signs?). Head units are pretty cheap these days. There are some that do not have CD players.. just SD/USB/Radio. They are not really any cheaper than the regular ones though. Check out Ebay!

Strap a Bose to the dash, plug the ipod in, and go. But in all seriousness, there isn't really a viable cheaper option than an aftermarket deck. Except maybe an FM transmitter.
