I did not look into the two models. The HD is working really well, just need a Y cable for the antenna to run MSN and HD. You get twice the amount of stations because each station transmits 2-3 station in the same frequency. I even have a station with no commercials. The only problem which everyone has that it does not show the preset stations, they are there saved but do not show, its something with the radio firmware.

I was thinking about going HD too. Did you happen to look into the difference between the GEX-P10HD and the newer GEX-P20HD version?

My bluetooth is working just fine. I have a Blackberry Curve. I have problems with the MSN thing. I also just installed the HD radio option, very nice option. Of course it has bugs, you do not see the preset stations but they are there and work. The quality is so much better with the HD. I found it on Amazon for $55 shipped.

Pioneer GEX-P10HD HD Radio Tuner for Pioneer HD Radio-Ready Head Units, $49.90

yes it did, wait to you get the springs. Also look into a body kit, changes the car completely. I get heads to turn with the red. Nice job !

Is your stick or auto ?

You have to have an RS6.0 VIN to buy a replacement, and it is very expensive. Special order only, and when I called a dealership, they didn't even have a part # listing to give me a price... just said "expect it to be several hundred $$."

That's too bad, though I suppose not a huge surprise. I'm sure it's still plastic. Should be possible to pick up a decent black upgrade grill for comfortably under $300 ($112 maybe ). Just have to keep waiting I guess.

Default Newbie here

I just got my xb 2214/2500 a few weeks ago and I'm so loving it. Although it's an automatic, it does have the auto stick with it. So, if I'm feeling bored, I can shift it myself. Of course, not as fun as a real stick shift, but when I'm in stop and go traffic, my feet won't get tired from all the shifting. I've already got 18's on it and added the spoiler. Gonna drop it after I get subs. I gotta say that it does turn a lot of heads. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Did I say I love it??? LOL. Anyway, I'm glad I took the plunge and got it.
