Like most things, you get what you pay for. It really depends on what your goal is as far as sound quality. With a $100 budget, it's a little limiting. You can get a decent radio, but there's better out there. If the sound quality of your ipod music isn't a huge concern, then you could go with a Sony Xplod as they aren't horrible...but like Chad215, I'm just not a fan and have owned 2.

I like the Kenwood Excelon line personally. I switched from a Sony Xplod to Excelon without any other changes to my system, and the difference was pretty big. I'm running amp'd highs/subs though, but I was amazed by the clarity improvement in just that switch. These are more in the $200 range though.
