A list of features you want in the new unit would be helpful.

Would you like to be able to play cds, dvds or fm radio? Do you need/want a front or rear usb? Single, 1.5 or double din?

yeah i am looking for a double din dvd player that has built in nav and bluetooth. i want it to play mp3 cd's and even has a usb port for a usb flash drive as well. i like it to be a 5v deck with 3 rca output's for my front and rear speakers and even my sub. i like to be able to control all my bass and trebles from each of my door speakers. i even would like it to have sub control with a custom ssf and a db slope for all my door speakers and even my sub's like my eclipse has. and most of all i want it to have a built in sound processor and eq as well,

For $300 you might as well give up on the DD with built in Navi. At least a unit that's worth a fuck.

And then, finding a 5v DD with Navi, impossible.

And also, I don't know any radio with a built in SSF.

For everything you want, I'd be looking to spend $1,000 or more. EASY.

if you can deal without a double din and nav the pionner 800/880prs would be great choices but lack some of the features you want. If you can wait till april I believe it is the 80prs will be coming out with bt, 2usb ports, aux port, ta, dual 16band eq color display among other features and I believe it will be around 320ish
