blue tooth radio replacement

[pianotuna]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a drop in replacement radio for a Ford E-450 that will do blue tooth and pair with my phone to allow me to easily answer calls.

I don't want an add on dongle, as that would require me to give up the radio for listening while trundling down the road.

Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a replacement radio with Bluetooth, AUX and USB inputs for my 2003 Itasca Chevy Chassis Class A MH. The current radio appears to be double height as well (double DIN?). Does anyone have any suggestions for this. Crutchfield said they didn't know exactly what may or may not fit the hole! Thanks.

We just replaced ours with a Pioneer MVH X560BT from Crutchfield.ca. (we're also north of the border). One day shipping, other than taxes, no other fees.
Pioneer kit included radio, remote and BT microphone.
Crutchfield included, at no extra charge, the wiring adapter to the Ford harness, mounting kit (makes radio fit and look like a factory install), and necessary tools to rmove old radio.
The blue tooth works great phone audio through Ford speakers, also controls i-pod/i-phone through BTor USB and the Pioneer remote.

Just bought a Kenwood Double DIN radio,DPX500BT,works real nice.
Blue tooth works great. Was only $ 160 on ebay. Be sure you can fit
a real DOUBLE DIN size.
Siggy

Definitely check Crutchfield .com. Most replacement radios come with dash and wiring adapters. I'm partial to Alpine radios. Highly recommend something with a USB connection. Very easy to plug in a nano USB with MP3 music.

Both my FORD F150's (2004 and 2010) standard issue radios did that... Surprised the E-450 doesn't...

Most useful using voice commands with the paired cellphone sitting in the Wilson cradle connected to outside antenna.
