Best double din nav/dvd system?

Looking for a NAV/DVD/Touchscreen system for my cobalt to replace the basic one.

Anyone have any good ideas? I already bought the kit that retains my onstar, RAD, etc.

I have the AVIC-Z1 and its great and has a TON of features. I got mine remanufactured with warranty for under $900. This is not my car but guess what it looks EXACTLY like it.

The D3 comes with Nav, CD, DVD and AV inputs. You can get the IPod cable for like 30 or 40 bucks. I also got the bluetooth module so the stereo becomes my phone. that was like another 100... But the setup is f(*^&ng sweet!!! I love it. Pics of my install are in my gallery.

The Z1 and the Z2 are really nice units but you can buy the Z1 and then go on ebay and buy a bigger hard drive that has the Z2 software and such and save some money. I bought my Z1 from ebay with factory warranty and saved about $1000. I have herd that the D3 is pretty much the same as the Z1 & 2 and the only diffrence is the screen and you have to use a disc for the nav. So if you don't mind that like the others said that is your best bet on a budget. They all look better than the factory unit so you win no matter what you choose.

YEa was looking at that one as well as the Z1-3s but the eclipse one stood out to me for some reason. Either way, i need something better than this factory P.O.S.
