Ok so I'm researching for a new deck and was curious what you guys would go with?

Here's what I need:

Bluetooth- for handsfree calling and audio streaming would be a bonus!

iPod control via USB port

Sirius is a must!

A few preouts whatever would be needed for a alpine pdx5

And the not so needed but cool to have

Removable face

Colour Changing screen

DVD playback

Nav

And ability to work with factory steering wheel controls

Let me know what you would use and why. As well as features and specs!

Thanks so much

Price is a big factor that you didn't mention.

Price aside, one of the sweet Pioneer indash nav units. We use an older Avic-f700bt and still like it.

I just bought the Rosen unit since it looks OEM, aftermarket units are stolen a lot more I was told by my neighbor that is a Portland cop.

price under $600can

I don't think you can do it for quite that budget but check out the Clarion NX501. I love mine. Also check out the VX401. It is the 501's little brother and you can add nav later.

Another point for me was that aftermarket HU's look strange to me on the Corolla dash with all the empty space all around the HU. I like the Rosen & eBay units more since they use all the space that is available.

The ebay ones are a lot cheaper but if i could turn back time knowing what i know about them now, i wouldnt buy it again...i would pay the extra grand and get the rosen one

Same one that I just ordered for my Corolla. They cost more but are better built & sold locally for better service.

I thought about one of those. Do you have or know about any videos showing this unit in action?

So far its between this unit and the Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT

I got to play with it at the store & everything seemed to work very well, good enough for me to have him order it for me.

I'd have to look up the model # but they only make one model for our car so I'm sure that it's the correct number.

I got it for a total of $1249.

That also includes installation, iPod cable, nav maps, JBL adapter & a 3 year warranty.

This will also take care of my clock issue on my 09!
