Default Base Audio vs Sony

Anyone else notice a digital tinish computerized sound on FM radio? On the Sony

The Sony with a CD or Spotify sounds really really good for $600 upgrade.

Can't decide to buy the base and change it out. Or upgrade and keep the Sony

A lot more you can do with the base unit...

What do you mean? As far as upgrading.

I know 50% of what i need to install the system in the truck. I didn't want to spend over $1500. Install and product.

So are you looking at a new 2016? I would get the base and upgrade myself. You won't need to go over $1500.

Yeah I learned that the hard way...had a 14' Ram 1500 with the very basic system and upgraded everything. Then when I wanted to get my F150, I told myself that this truck was going to have everything already in it that way I didn't need to tinker around or spend money after the fact. Mistake....I like the nav (other than not being able to use it while driving. I know you can buy a lockpick or similar item to fix that.) but the sync and audio system is awful compared to what your aftermarket possibilities are....in my opinion.
