JVC KW-NT1 all the way Right in your price range and even is a detachable face for extra security as well.

Lots of expandability options and allows you to play MP3's via DVD, Ipod, and even the SD Card (up to 16gb).

I shopped around for a really long time and given my requirements, it fit the bill perfectly.

Check my gallery for more pictures if you'd like

Take a look at the AVIC series from Pioneer. They seem to have some pretty decent stuff.

I have to agree with TJ. Of course that's my biased opinion since I have the older similar version of TJ's. Absolutely love it.

Hey for the people who are looking for a way cheeper price, I bought my Phase Liner Jensen of ebay for about $220 shipped, 7" dvd touch screen with sd card reader and divx format, I like to place divx videos and avi videos on to my sd card and it also has plug for ipod, it works great, but it is not like a Pioneer or Jvc quality. You pay for what you get. I will be upgrading to a Pioneer that has GPS in the next year. Jensen Phase is a great buy for $220 but if you want quality you need to spend at least $500 on a head unit off ebay.

hate to spoil the moment lt20 but it doesnt sound like a cheap route if u payed 220 for a jensen but later on nav with pioneer ur spending more then needed if ur changing it twice, i personally wil save up for a pioneer or alpine and call it a day, sundevil has my POV on this one, ive heard great things about the AVH-P4100DVD + looks pretty and matches the interior lighting buttons and crap lol

on the pioneer and the jvc...how is the usb options? i see on the jvc it has an SD card which i like and on the pioneer you use the usb cable...is that right? anyways how do yall like these options? Like i said i like the idea of the SD card just bc its neat and clean and i guess if the USB was out the back of the HU then it wouldnt be so bad...

I been buying off ebay for years, I think that's the best price on the web. I have bought lots of electronic stuff and never had any problems.

???

Why do you say that? Bad personal experience? I've never had a problem with buying any product off eBay.
