what are the options for an 03' navigation multimedia system?

I would like to replace my factory am/fm 6 disc changer from my 03' king ranch supercrew to something that can play dvd's, hook up a rear view cam, and maybe navigation. I would like something that has a factory look...... I don't want a system that has a screen that pops out of the dash. Which makes and models do you guys recommend that have the look that I want and fit in my truck?

I started looking around on ebay for ideas, and this is what I came up with. What I like are the double din units that have a full screen look. I saw some alpines, pioneer, panasonic and kenwoods. I also found a few "no name"brands that a lot cheaper........any experiences with these cheap ones. My truck isn't a daily driver so I won't be abusing on the unit. I would mainly be using it on road trips. Opinions on any of these??????????????

I personally like the Pioneer Avic F series units. They aren't without their issues but I think you get a lot of functionality for the price.. and I've personally had good luck with Pioneer gear.

I think you will need to do some trimming inside the dash to make it fit, I don't think those decks were true double-din. My brother did it on his '99 and his '03 lightning and it wasn't a big deal.

Definitely check out the Avic series, I've got an F700BT in my 01 Supercrew. They have their quirks, but for the money, they're well worth it.

AVIC's are great units. Ive got an N3 (flip out) (got a freakin smokin deal on it 1600 below MSRP). If not, look into a Kenwood. DNX5120 is a great lil unit. Big upside to the Kenwood is their Nav is through Garmin.

Kenwood has the best Navi system that I've seen out.
