Dvd gods

I am wanting to put in a double din with monitor no nav but that has bluetooth. It does not have to be the bomb just that it good no massive system. Just want to watch dvds and use my phone bluetooth.

Also were online is a good place to find them other than crutch?

Thanks

Other online retailers I use are sonicelectronix and onlinecarstereo. They are usually much cheaper than crutchfield but it comes at a cost: less install gear for free, less support if you need it, and possibly a not so great warranty.

Personally if I shop online I won't expect a great warranty, either that or my equipment to take forever to be fixed. I got my head unit at a nearby Ultimate Electronics because if anything happens to my headunit then I can take it there and they will replace it on the spot. If the HU is discontinued then they will credit me the purchase price towards another HU, and I'll either pay or recieve the difference. Personally I have an Alpine IVA-W205. It's nice, 6.5" touchscreen double din. There's only one flaw with it for me. The MP3 scrolling takes a while (unlike older Pioneers I had which I could scroll through 160 songs in 10 seconds). But for the price and features, it's awesome. No built-in Nav, requires an Alpine-made navigation unit to be inserted for navigation. Bluetooth requires a module to be utilized, along with USB and sat radio. Also, you can't bypass the video on this one so easily. Some Kenwoods and older Jensons you can just ground out the parking wire. For some newer ones you would need to install one or two toggle switches and switch them on and off sequentially for the foot brake (and e-brake dependong on the model of head unit that you get) to bypass the video, and would need to be done every time you disengage the switches, or turn the truck off then on. For mine, and I'm sure like many other models, I bought a video bypass module (PAC-TR7) and installed it to the e-brake and foot brake wires. As soon as I turn on my truck, the video is bypassed.
