I'm having a stereo system installed in my older model Vette tomorrow-didn't want anything cut up (especially the dash) so I'm keeping the factory radio in the dash even though I'm not going to be using it. They are installing a Blue Tooth right at the amp so I can send signal to the amp from my IPhone. I have previously downloaded a ton of songs from ITunes (use it for my home stereo and daily driver) but isn't there other options (since I won't be able to pick up local radio stations) for radio stations ect.? 4951

IHeart radio is good, Pandora, TuneIn Radio.. You can even play from You Tube App, however, you can't do anything else w/your phone or the music quits.. I don't have that problem with the others.. 4951

@cador, if you have Amazon Prime look into their Amazon Music.  My son and dh prefer this over spotify.And a year subscription, with a Prime membership, isn't bad at all.

@Fallon:
 
 
Interesting. I already have a Prime membership, so would it be free and unlimited? Is there a phone app specifically for music? I like Spotify but I'm always looking for an alternative.  4951

Isn't radio free in general?  @ZMAN  Not being a smart butt, just asking a real question.I never listen to the radio.  I have my playlists set up I listen too, or I will burn a cd if I chose to go old school.  lolWe have Sirus but I never listen to it.  Huge waste of funds, imo.  But dh wants it so we have ti.

@Fallon:
 
 
It is free, but the app allows you to stream it on devices that dont have an FM transmitter (like on a phone). 4951

But don't forget if you do not have unlimited data any app will eat it up! I just enrolled in unlimited wifi in my Acadia so I don't have to worry about that ever again lol! 4951

@Fallon: In my case where I'm not going to have a head unit in my car it will work great for the radio stations. In addition-and maybe more importantly (as I do not drive the Vette but a few times a month) is I can use one of the apps for home as ever since I moved to Huffman my home stereo picks up nothing-I mean doesn't even fade in and out-nothing. I never knew I could listen to radio at home-I was considering Sirus (but didn't like that I had to pay for home-then also car instead of combining service).Thx for all the recommendations-I seriously did not know any of that (besides ITunes through my IPhone) was available (lol).

@yankeejessica: Thanks for the reminder-some might think that it should be a given but I didn't think about that as I was reading the replies. And important for me as I do not use the internet on my phone much and only have 2 GB a mth. When I decide on which app the good thing for me on the add'l data is that I do not drive the Vette much (my daily drivers has a head unit with radio) and when I'm at home I can do Wi-Fi on my internet (vs data on my phone).
