    I have put lots of stereos in vehicles and have yet to find one that is user friendly. Being an older guy the bigger the display text the better. I have issues with the functionality of the Bluetooth for hands free calling... most units that I have installed will not go back to what you were doing before you made/took the call. If you were listening to the radio and you make a call you have to physicaly push the source button to get back to the radio... what a pain in the rear.

    You pretty much described every modern stereo in existence. They all install the same and have the same dimensions and wiring difficulty.

    Your best bet is to chat with someone from Crutchfield. They are extremely knowledgable about their products and can recommend the perfect product. They also *usually* come with free dash kits and wiring harnesses. Depending on which model year you have it may be easier/harder to install.

    In my exp, Pioneer makes the best stereos and are typically user friendly.
