Auto audio

Hello AudiogoNers,

I know this isn't a topic often addressed here, but I would like some recommendations about a head unit for my car. Shopping at the usual suspects I find that not one of them talks about the sound quality of their gear but rather whether there's an I-Pod jack and if it's Bluetooth compatible. I've had a Nakamichi for a couple of years, but the transport is getting weak and I'm looking to replace it. Are there any choices besides Nakamichi and McIntosh for those who want good sound in their cars?

Ebm....I suppose that snide remark was tossed in my direction, so I will comment. My response WAS off handed, but in truth, you can not get audiophile sound from a moving car. Engine noises, wind, suspension, and side seating all ruins anything close to good sound. I have an upgraded Bose system in my car and that is good enough. When I want to get closer to music I fire up my home system. In order to overcome the noise in a moving car you have to play it too loud and eq it too much for anything serious. I've heard too many "high end" car system that are just boom and sizzle. Not for me thanks
