    I loved my kenwood nav system from my ford. Best Ipod controls and Garmin has the best nav software.

    WTF w/all the bumping?! Just go buy a damn radio already!

    FWIW - I looked at a bunch, had it narrowed down, then figured how it'd likely just get me a busted window and insurance claim. Got a Sansa Clip for $40 and it goes with me. Done.

    I just got a Kenwood 552 $139 from Crutchfield included all the hardware. Went to Autozone and bought some butt splicers and had a friend of mine install it for me. Threw him some money for a six pack and he was happy. I still have the stock speakers but the 22 watts the Kenwood puts out it made them wake up. I'm still trying to figure out how to work all the functions i've only had it a few days but i really like how it sounds!!

    It is the Pioneer AVH-P3200BT DVD Receiver. I bought it from Crutchfield 15 months ago (11/2010) for $339.99. It is discontinued now and according to Crutchfield a AVH-P4400BH is the comparable model available now but unfortunately it's $449.

    Happy with mine and it has a lot of options. USB, SD Card, XM Radio, DVD (I put the bypass relay so don't need the parking brake on), bluetooth, rear view camera, etc.

    Go with Kenwood. I have had the best luck with them. Alpines seen to have issues with the 4 buttons beside the volume knob after a while. Pioneer is my second choice. I have a kenwood double din screen right now that I am extremely happy with. Best part is it was $425 at best buy. If you listen to pandora or slacker get one with bluetooth built in. I use the shit out of that option.
