Talk a bit more about this incompatibility. I assumed that you could at least use the aux plug on the front to push music from the iPhone to the head unit even if the BT connection was not available. It will not be back in stock for about two weeks so that gives me some time to check the head unit out wrt specs.

True you probably can use aux in but a usb connection not only is better sound quality but also allows you to control the head unit from both the phone and the head unit itself. It would be tough for me personally to abandon my Alpine even though this unit has the flip out screen.

Customer Service/Sales at Sonic Electronics says it is compatible with the iPhone.
BTW, Pyle has a couple of integrated single DIN pop up screens (PLBT 73G is one of them and PLMV 71 may be another) with GPS that can be acquired for a similar price from a couple of sources. If I cannot get the first choice reasonably soon, I may go with one of them.

I remember looking into Pyle single din units a few years back. Admittedly they where not the same model numbers you mentioned, but as I recall they had many bad reviews from buyers on Amazon. I realize that you can't put too much stock in the reviews there, but it was enough to scare me off. I don't know much about the Power Acoustik model you are looking at...

I looked at the various ratings for the PLBT 73G at a couple of sites. People either love it or hate it and the results are very mixed. The average was around 3.5 out of 5 but many of the reviews indicated good long term service once you learned some setting methodology.

Like you said earlier, it's not that big of an investment right? I just didn't like hearing things like screen going black or not powering on again after less than a year.

Van & Nelson, thank you for the audio information. Nelson, long time no see.... Van hello for the first time I'm Julian or Mera 8071.
I was not thinking of doing a flip up screen but wow does it ever look great. I'll start researching prices next. I plan on replacing all 4 speakers and will use the factory under dash sub. Do you recommend any type of amp? I don't need to blow the doors off but my exhaust has a sweet rumble that I may need to up the volume. 
So let me get this straight... the standard 1988 dash is 1.5 din? Does the flip up screen have enough room to eject when the automatic transmission is in "park"? I really like the idea of having nav, touch screen, BT, rear view cam and videos. Funny thing I was just looking for a normal 1.5 din head unit that was loud. You guys opened up a whole new ball game. Send some links and keep the info coming. I thought stock Fiero's are limited in the depth for radio units.
Also can someone remind me how to post a picture? I been away about 3 years.
