Looking to replace the shitty stereo in my Jeep (and maybe the Charger if I like how it goes) and hoping to find a shop that has a good selection and installs without leaving me with a squeeky dash.

I haven't bought a car stereo since 1988.

Best bet is to buy head unit online or ask a shop if they will match online price. What are you looking for in the head unit? I really like Pioneer and Alpine. My Pioneer in the Jeep has navigation with real time traffic, direct connect ipod (cable is $30 extra), blue tooth, sirrus (monthly fee, I never hooked it up). With the blue tooth I can also play music from my Android phone. I could recommend a few shops I would trust for basic stereo install. Also keep in mind you will need to spend about $100 in modules to retain steering wheel controls if u have them and other shit to install it correctly. I use Sonic Electronics for everything I buy.

I don't know enough about brands to have a favorite.  If you say Pioneer and Alpine, that's good enough for me.  I'd like essentially the works: GPS, total iPod control, integration with native controls in the Jeep.  I found a unit in my cursory search at Crutchfield that sounded like it suits my needs.  I may leave the speakers alone; maybe not.  I'm sure I wouldn't be able to fully appreciate a new stereo with the factory speakers.

Yeah, I need a local shop that can be trusted for the install if you have one.

Look up that same model at Sonic Electronics and see if there is a price difference.  Let me check if Anthony Electronics is still open in Elgin. Rays in Bloomingdale can also do a basic head unit install. I wouldn't let Rays do any custom shit but kind of hard to fuck up a head unit install. If anyone still talks to Jr with the 300, he knew a place in Algonquin that's pretty decent

Switched factory head unit in my Denali a while back. Was surprised at how much that alone cleaned up the sound. Could always do it in steps till you reach the sound you want.
