Looking for a solid infotainment system for my 06 gt. Came across many listed in videos, etc and was hoping you guys can help me put the nail in the coffin on the right one. Looking at
Sony XAV-AX5000 and Pioneer AVH-2550NEX most closely at the moment.

Which one do you have installed? Do you regret it? Also recommend a backup camera if you're feeling generous!

It's a matter of personal preference on the '05-09, because you don't have to replace the HVAC controls.

I'd recommend any decent name brand: JVC/Kenwood, Pioneer, or Alpine. Stay away from Jensen or Dual or the other generic crap.

I personally like the JVC/Kenwood touchscreen unit I put in my '11 because Android Auto.

Hmm okay. It seems like I can't really go wrong then with whatever option I choose so long as it's an established brand... Spending this much you always just want to make sure you buy the right one you know? Haha, thanks.

Well if you're going to look at Pioneer I'd suggest you give the AVH-W6500NEX a look its what I installed and I love it. It has tons of versatility and features but for me the Wireless Carplay was the clincher. I love being able to just get in the car and my iPhone playlist connects and starts playing without me touching anything.
