New Stereo, What to get? Options

[amilleri]

So I finally found and bought a 99 celica gt 5spd, yay!

So I want to put a new stereo in since the one currently in it doesn't support anything but a cd player. What should I go with, I'm looking for something with aux input so I can use my phone. I have no clue about what stereos are good or bad, can anyone help me out on a few good differently priced options. Like a cheap, midrange, and high end and the disadvantages of the lower end ones.

+1 on avoid Sony Xplod; they have cheaper out.

I went pioneer because they were great value, decent output, all the inputs I required and could change colours (which was good because I hadn't decided how I wanted to colour my interior at that stage). The only thing it's missing is Bluetooth.

Having said that though, there are many great options out there though, and you don't need to spend heaps of money to get something decent

I just re-read the original question; it depends which brand you go with but I know one of the things I liked about the pioneer systems were that even if you bought a cheap unit, it still had the quality amps from the mid range units. Generally, for the extra money you get connectivity (Bluetooth, iPod etc.), looks, specialty features (like mix tracks etc.) and extra outputs. Note this last one because it can limit your system later on if you want to amp your speakers or add a subwoofer.
