If you HAD to chose between these two Double DINS, which would you pick?

Hi,
I've got the LG G2 and I'm really just looking for a solid bluetooth deck, with the ability to use my steering wheel controls.

I've found two that seem to get the job done for a good price, of these two, which would you pick and why:

Sony Bluetooth USB/CD Car Deck with Smartphone Control (WXGT90BT) : Double DIN Car Decks - Future Shop

OR

Pioneer 2-DIN CD/ MP3/ USB Car Receiver with iPod/ iPhone/ Android Control (FH-X700BT) : Double DIN Car Decks - Future Shop

I'm really looking for a simple plug and play unit with good Android connectivity. I appreciate your thoughts, I've never modded audio.

Cheers!

Just an FYI if you go with either of those, Amazon has them for cheaper.

I have always been a fan of Alpine since my 1st car in 1989, but between those 2, I like the pioneer better. I think it will look better with the current dash light colors and the fact that it almost has the same style of the stock unit with the volume knob in the center.

Thanks everyone, I guess with Bluetooth out doesn't really matter which I get, because all the action happens on the phone anyway (switching songs for example). Is this an ok assumption to make?

Thanks again! Such a stereo newb.

no it does matter. to answer the question you are looking for you will need to read the manuals of both models and see what they are or are not capable of. not every "bluetooth" radio is the same.

On my old kenwood i was able to control it from the radio or the phone. (changing tracks, adjusting volume, play, pause, stop)
