So i just bought a new deck.. and boy was my old one outta date

Ok, so i just bought a kenwood KDC-MP438U deck and it's got some fancy stuff i've never seen in a radio before... i just wanted to know 1. does anyone have feedback on their experience with it, and does $160 seem about right for this deck? and my other question was where can i find the thing i need to use my cellphone with it.. it say's it's sold sepreate but i can't find anyone who sells it, or knows exactly what i need

I've paid more, and I've paid less. Depends on what you want it to do and if you're happy with it.

KCA-BT200 - the adapter you need.

My 92 has MB Quart coaxial speakers with crossovers (included) all around and a Memphis sub. In the 89, I have a decent set of Pioneers 4X6 and 6X9 3 way speakers that do decent off deck power and should sound even better when and if I put a amp in.

All together we've got 4 sterro shops around where i live and all of them have different ideas on what will sound good.. one guy tried selling me infinity's which i heard were garbage.. another guy tired selling me some pioneer's for the back and some sony's up front.. i just want somthing that will sound good without an amp and will be set off once i can afford one

I've been told the best way to shop for speakers is to have the salesman demo a few sets to while you either have your back turned or eyes closed. Have him/her switch between different sets without telling you what they are, then select the ones that sound best to you. Then make sure they can take the output of an amplifier. They may even be some no-name brand.

Ok go to where you got it and tell them you need the "bluetooth plug-in" for your radio you'll need the model number and name of the CD player. They may sell it, they may not. If they don't try best buy they sell alot of the extra stuff that goes on these CD players. Before spending about $25 to $50 dollor on the bluetooth make sure your phone has bluetooth built in.
