Dont go with the cheap china ones...they fail real quick and easy. If you dont want to spend a lot of money go with pyle. They are not the best but i have never heard anything bad from them.

My buddy has one and it does everything it says and he has had it over a year now. Even if it breaks and he has to buy another one you can buy 2 and half of them for the price of 1 Pioneer which i think aren't a whole lot better.

Go with a Pioneer! They are cheap and very well made. I just ordered one last night. In the world of car audio, you definitely get what you pay for. Here is a link to the one I ordered. It was $150 off with no tax and free shipping as of last night: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product.

I have one. Have had it for like 2 years now. Works fine. The reason I went this route was for DIVX support. Most name brands at this time did not play them. Only complaint I have is you can't listen to music and us navi at the same time but the ones on there now support that. The menus have gotten better too, there's even one that has toyota logos on the menu. Time for me to get a new on and put this one in my service truck.

I have only had one problem...can't get a DVD to play. Whenever I pop one in, I can hear the movie but just see the equalizer on the screen.

I have a Pioneer AVH 3200 in my Ford truck which is great, and I just installed a AVIC-F90BT in my SC300. The AVIC does NAV, DVD, Bluetooth, iPod (cable included) 3 sets of 4v pre outs and awesome voice recognition. I LOVE IT!! $449 shipped Pioneer refurb. $800 unit from Amazon.
Best part is that it runs Windows as an OS, so it's totally hackable.
I don't see them quite that cheap on ebay anymore, but I highly reccomend.
Prior to that - if you're just looking for iPod and or MP3, CD. I had a Kenwood DPX-701 which was feature packed - even had an accelerometer to estimate horsepower and a little car display that turned when you did. Those are dirt cheap now.
Still working on the install - and repairing the body damage from the accident - so no flaming on the installation or cleanliness!
