Cheap, but Decent, Car Stereo?

I can't for the life of me find one with rear rca aux input. I found a JVC that was affordable that had it, but it lit up pink.

I went with this Clarion at Newegg. Has rear USB for ipod/usb stick, and a front aux. If the rear usb doesn't work the way I want it to, then I'll just have to get used to using the front aux. Or mod it.

At $65 shipped I couldn't complain. If I really don't like it then I will put it in my uncle's car. I just can't see spending $150-300 to listen to some tunes. I'd rather put that money towards something we need.

BLARGH. So it has been forever since I bought my last stereo and installed it in the car. I forgot that I need a short deck otherwise it won't fit.

And, the one I bought doesn't fit. By about a cm. Blargh. Well I think my uncle needs a new stereo. Hopefully he hasn't purchased one yet.

A centimeter? Can you get a spacer to hold it out a little? I know the 90's Chevrolet trucks use a HUGE spacer piece to hold the radio out because of the heater box...

Edit,

Something like this, but in the USA...

I didn't think to see how much space I had. My old one sat flush with the dash bezel. Adding a spacer onto it might not leave enough room for the bezel, and would stick out. My uncle needs a new one, so I am going to give it to him.

I didn't like the feel of the buttons very much. Felt cheap. But then again, it was far cheaper than the one I had.

my buddy picked up a PYLE brand stereo with SD card slot, USB port and front AUX input + rear output/input Sub out.


it's also a short deck

50 something bucks.

There's a pioneer one that I like. Doesn't have the rear aux, but I think I am just going to have to get over that. The very few that do are too long anyway.

It's $130 though. I might hold off and put the stock cassette/radio back in the car if I still have it back home. I've got an FM thing for my ipod. Quality will suck, but it would buy me some time.
