I had the same thoughts about Bluetooth. Until one day I was driving along and my stereo started making this funny sound and I realized that it was the phone ringing. Being able to take and make calls legally and safely while driving has turned out to be amazingly handy. Yes, I am an out of touch old fart. |

The base HU ain't bad, but the speakers could use some work. I'm not a hound for quality though, so I don't really care. Plus, more sound stuff = more weight.
EDIT: If I wanted bells and whistles, I would have bought a luxury car. |

I'm with you on the specs, but I have decided that I would really like a unit that has no CD at all – just AM/FM with a USB input (with perhaps ability for an SD card or two as well) that plays a variety of file types (MP3, Apple Lossless, FLAC, WAV, etc.). My current "wish unit" for when I have enough money to do the stereo system properly is the Pioneer Stage 4 DEX-P99RS. It does have a CD, an ambient light display, and lacks physical buttons for radio presets, but it is currently as close as it gets for me.

Also support the base '13 head unit, wouldn't change a thing about it.
Bluetooth syncs automatically, picks up automatically from either spotify or google play depending on what I feel like (music & podcasts respectively) and hands free calling with physical buttons that mean I don't have to take my eyes off the road, all while my phone is still in my pocket. Ever since the Jellybean update it's been flawless putting up track info on the display.
