    I highly recommend Alpine, you're going to pay a little more than a pioneer but your getting a much nicer unit as well. The one thing i have never liked about pioneers is that their user interface is not as friendly as the Alpine units, they also give you quite a few warning screen and make you wait which i do not like. I personally have a w505 (which meets all of your needs listed) and love it. Alpine has a couple newer units out now you might want to look into. You can probably pick up a used w505 for a really great price on ebay. The navigation is very good as well.

    run down on the Alpine IVA-W505

    7 inch monitor double din. Yes
    MP3, DVD, and all that good stuff Yes
    Able to connect it to my steering wheel controls Any unit can do this, you just need a Pac controller (about 60 bucks)
    Sat. radio being able to hook up to my stock antenna Any unit can do this as well, TSS-radio makes and adapter for this (about 60 bucks)
    Ipod hook up (would like for that to be able to hok up to my AUX port) Yes (will play ipod video as well and display all album art which i like. Also is very VERY user freidnly to scroll through or search for songs artists playlists whatever)
    USB hook up if possible Yes

    You'll need a NVE-P1 for the alpine nav, and this has bluetooth built in as well

    I'm an audio guy, check my build thread for pics and everything. The w505's strongpoint is the imprint sound processor, if you've ever heard one you'll never want to listen to anything else.
