Has anyone tried one of those $15 to $25 radio's that pop up here on the site. My radio doesn't work and it sure would be nice to have Bluetooth. Have Bluetooth in my car and have really gotten used to using it.
 
I never had any luck with cheap no-name aftermarket radios. They always seem to die within a year even when I dont spill clam chowdah on them.

If all you want is bluetooth, these things work well.


But if you need a whole new radio anyway, look for deals on crutchfield.com but stick with a brand name in my opinion.
 
I have used a JBL Trip for a few years, mostly for handsfree driving but every now and then play music from phone thru it
Clips on to visor, No complaints

Bluetooth range is a little too far, lol, I know as complaints go its not a good one, but when I park in driveway and forget to turn it off it stays connected to my phone when in the house so runs JBLs battery down, it has auto off, so I just need to turn off my phones bluetooth, I don't have to go back out to the truck

And +1 on the FM adapters, but I might recommend an AUX cable version, so it plugs into your phone via wired connection, vs bluetooth wireless
Bluetooth does use alot of the phones battery power when playing music, so if you go that route then also get a phone charger for the vehicle

As inexpensive as good, name brand stereos have gotten, no way would I buy one of those cheapies.
