Looking for head unit.

It has to be double din, touch screen and have either built in sirius or an adapter available. I don't care if it has GPS. I don't care if it plays DVD's. I've seen some for 150 bucks and some for 1500. I can't justify 1500 dollars for a unit. I've been looking for the Avic series, but either there are only the fold out's, or the people want a grand+ for a used unit...

Eclipse has a few nice ones, but I can't find any for a reasonable price. I'm looking to keep at or around 600. I want it to as good/better sound quality as my stock unit. I will not add different speakers, so as long as it sounds as good as my stock (MP3) unit, I'll be happy. I will likely add a different sub, probably another 10 with an external amp. So it has to have the RCA's for that. Other than that, I'll take whatever advice I can get.

Help?

Jvc has a decent dvd double din in the $500 range, Jensen also has one for $399 that isnt bad either, if that's all you are looking for.

The pioneer D3 is probably the best bang for your buck in terms of DDin, dvd and nav. Retails for $999 or less.

Craigslist, it was second hand.... but for all that ****, 400 bucks was a steal to me.

It also had the GMlan or whatever it is to keep my onstar, bluetooth and the backup camera... all of which I'm going to sell after it's installed. I don't want all that stuff.

Uhhh. I dunno? There's a little box thing. I'll sort it all out when I get it installed. I was going to do it myself, but **** it. I'll pay someone.
