    Can't seem to find anything with the search function as usual. Everything is about CB's with bluetooth.

    Just bought an 07 T600. Looking to upgrade the radio in it possible.

    Would like to have bluetooth through the speakers.

    Would like to have a remote too maybe since the radio is a bit of a reach, ya I know, flame away, but a remote wouldn't be bad.

    Dont need sirius or anything just a good Heavy duty radio.


    Still have to buy a CB for this truck so if going the route of a CB with bluetooth is a better idea, then that route could be taken.,


    Thanks much.

    My T660 has a Kenworth headunit with bluetooth. No remote though. Ive had good luck with Kenwood Excelon and Pioneer Premier in my four wheelers. You may want to consider a radio with a flip out screen. Fully featured single-din radios can be finicky to operate, and the screens are usually covered by shiny plastic which makes them unreadable at times.

    Alpine all the way. I sold, installed and judged car audio competitions back in the 90's. My current Alpine unit was bought in 2002 and is on it's last legs, 2 trucks and 10 years later. I think I'm going to go with the iDA-X305SBT as it fits my needs with bluetooth, Pandora, iPhone and has the hookup for my 10 year old Alpine XM tuner and CD changer. Remotes are great for the sleeper, but I have rarely used mine (only in the first few months) from the driver's seat. I've had remotes on car stereos now for twenty years, and besides steering wheel controls, they are rarely used as it's easier to just do what you need to do ont he radio vs find the remote, grab it and then do it.
