Head Unit Recommendation

I have 2010 Base V6 4wd. Looking at replacing head unit. I use a Garmin Nuvi for navigation. I drive a lot as I manage real estate. I can really use blue tooth. I had XM for years and I'm not missing it much. I don't have an ipod. I don't listen to many cd's. I would like the unit to not stick out and look OEM. Any ideas???

FYI: I just had the real hatch lock sensor fail and say the door was always open 9300 miles.

Search is your friend...there are many threads/posts regarding head units that you can buy that look like stock. But I think they also had NAV, if you don't want that, then your options are 1 or 1.5 DIN units which are made by most manufacturers. You'll need the trim piece to fit the space. I posted a DIY thread, and it is stickied. You can see pics of what an aftermarket 1.5 DIN looks like there. If this look doesn't work for you, and don't need NAV and are just looking for BT, then as far as i know, you are SOL if trying to keep OEM look. However, you could just look t aftermarket BT options or by one of those adapters. There are threads in here about that too.

Check out autodvdgps.com
Their prices went up in the last few days, though.

This one is very expensive from autodvdgps.com becase it is PC unit because it performs much faster than the cheaper ones??? I believe, this one is much expensive than the flyaudio ones...

They are also selling headrest monitors and looks like they have true color match. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee anything until we see it in person.

Headrest monitor link:

Propman: I know there are people in this forum who are highly knowledgeable to guide you. Good luck and incase you buy please update all of us about the peformance of the GPS posted above.

Thanks
Good Luck

naturoses & chernomorez,
Hey thanks for you input. I'm also looking at the Parrott add on bluetooth.
