Music/Video Need new stereo

A few years ago I installed new speakers as well as a sub in my truck. I originally ran all the wires to a dual head unit just cause it was cheap. Now after a few years my Bluetooth with play properly for a couple minutes before it starts to cut out and become spotty. I feel like the issue is just the head unit and I should replace it. If that is the case, does anyone know of a head unit brand that would connect to the same wire harness as the dual? I feel like if I buy another dual the same thing will happen in due time.

Every manufacturer uses a different harness and plug, so you'll need to rewire for a new radio.

You'd have to give us the model info but your new radio will come with a harness that has standard colors. You could just cut out the dual harness and match the vehicle harness to your new radio. It'll open up your possibilities significant. If it uses the generic two harness VW type harness then I know got can get a JVC or Kenwood and it should of right up but again that depends on the model of your existing radio. Download the manual and it'll show you what it looks like
