Help choosing Car Deck

Hello,

I'm pretty new to all this and looking to replace the factory stereo in my corolla. I am looking to replace the speakers and the deck, but not looking to add in a sub. The decks I was looking at were these (with crutchfield links):

1. Kenwood KDC-MP342U (http://www.crutchfield.ca/Kenwood_KDC_MP342U_CD_Receiver_p/113mp342u.htm)

2. Sony CDX-GT540UI (http://www.crutchfield.ca/Sony_CDX_GT540UI_CD_Receiver_p/158gt540ui.htm)

If you have any other suggestions, I would be happy to hear them, but I narrowed it down to those 2 as I wanted the usb input for my ipod and I wanted to get it for under 150.

Thanks!

I wouldn't urinate on the sony if it was about set a car on fire.

The kenwood is a solid choice under $150, also you might to have a look at the new Pioneer 2200UB.

Although I always highly reccomend getting a head unit with rear USB input and not USB on the faceplate as people tend to always break them.

Depending on what the cellphone driving laws are in Ontario it might be wise to consider one that is bluetooth device compatible or comes with a built in bluetooth device
