That stereo looks exactly what I'm looking for. My truck has a radio with a USB input. I've been spoiled by putting MP3s on a thumb drive and listening to something that wasn't static. My Boxster has a factory cdr 220 so I mostly listen to the induction howl (which aint too bad).
The crutchfield link you gave shows that they include a free audi harness, an antenna thingy, and oem radio removal tool. $159 with free shipping.
Amazon has same radio for $139 with free shipping but no installation freebies.
I think I may be buying this. thanks
Is the metra harness the same as this free audi one?

yes that looks exactly like the harness. it was $20 through auto zone. Crutchfield supposedly has the best support for do it yourselfers. so if your going to dyi then crutch is the key.
I actually went to best buy as i knew if they screwed up something they would fix it. It was 169 minus 10% coupon. install was $49 plus 13 for antenna. I haven't really played with the fm yet, so I will update tomorrow after I have figured out how to program it.
The only really minus on the stereo is that it has no preset buttons. As I have just gotten it i will have to play with it to see how intuitive the menu and stuff really is.
