Is @ Home
Vague questions = no good.....

Start off with a budget as well as what functions you want.

Mercedes audio system uses fiber optics. Something to consider.

Sorry for not being so specific I was in a rush . Well I have 300 to spend on the HU. I want functions like aux input, and I want something that works well with lots of bass. Also it should look alright too.

I do not think I have the fiber optic system because I do not have bose.

Those comments show that you haven't done you homework. Best to STFF the forum and start over.

No you have to order some part for it, but this is for a whole aftermarket stereo in the car.
