Recommend a radio: blue tooth, HF phone; wireless audio streaming for HTC EVO.
Had factory installed OEM hands free phone in my car, Star Tak (no NAV). Has been obsolete for years. Blue tooth puck, etc. seem like a lot of $, and don't appear to be compatible with my HTC EVO phone.
Would like to install a new radio with these features--
1. blue tooth
2. Hands free phone;
3. wireless audio streaming;
4. work with existing steering wheel buttons;
5. Also, my phone has a nice NAV system, and a hdmi interface. I wonder if there is a way to get my phone's NAV to pop up on a radio screen, which means, a radio with a big video screen, and some sort of video interface.
Can anyone recommend a radio ?
Thanks

Also, forgot to include, would like it to work with existing steering wheel buttons. I will look at the Sony Mex radio on the web.
Also, my phone has a nice NAV system, and a hdmi interface. I wonder if there is a way to get my phone's NAV to pop up on a radio screen, which means, a radio with a big screen, and some sort of screen interface.

This is what I did. My steering wheel controls control my Alpine X305. A PAC SWI-PS will work with a Sony.

Wow. I am speechless. What a great response. Thanks all, but, Marcus, that is a masterpiece instructional. I'm going to price this out on Crutchfield and see what it adds up to. This is a Mona Lisa among responses. Thanks.
