Looking to upgrade the factory cd player in my 07 Frontier.. I want a hd unit with mp3 capabilities.. Has anyone found anything else besides a JVC unit that will work?? Seems new technology is in short supply for our trucks..

I am wondering the same thing.  I also saw an Alpine head unit that would fit at Best Buy.  Anybody have anything they like?  I'm looking specifically for an iPod connection as well.

Well,finally did a radio swap to get HD sound.. Got a Jensen VM9312HD.. So far so good.. Really like the HD as there are quite a few more channels and a lot less commercials.. This radio has a lot of standard features and a lot of add on extras.. Comes with a expansion box for external ipod support as well as the cable to connect it.. Has the motorized 7" tft screen that can stay closed and still offer radio control.. Wanted HD and mp3 capability but I can add XM a rear camera and GPS module to this too.. Comes with a remote (like I can't reach the controls....) Checked out a lot of radios but this is sweet!! Instructions are wrong for part of the install but overall wasn't too bad.. Only thing I really miss is the clock.. It has one but you have to press a button 4 times to see it and cannot default to it.. Always has to be selected every time you restart the truck.. For anyone interested mounted the hd module right to the top of the blower box beneath the radio..

the new kenwood excelon series are hd ready with mp3 capabilities, ipod interface using rear usb hook-up.  i have only ever used kenwood excelon head units and have had much success some have more features than an average user would need but they worked great for me.  the only problem i came across is an old excelon series that i had was too deep it wouldn't fit due to the steel bar that run behind where the radio is and i didnt want to cut it out!

My 08 truck has the single cd player.  Is it just an unplug and plug in for the 6 disc changer?  I'm looking for multi-disc player with an I Pod interface

Question?  Why bother with a 6 disc changer if you have an ipod?  I just took all my cds and ripped them onto a portable HD, and swap out music on my MP3 player.
