If you are wanting to keep costs down, you should replace the factory unit. The JVC unit I installed was $79 two years ago! I sold my factory unit for about $200 IIRC.
I'm sure JVC model numbers have changed and I don't ever remember what it is.
I would recommend considering two things...
1. Adjustable illumination colors ( to match rest of your cars illumination.
2. How easy does the unit connect (and reconnect) to BT?
My unit will connect every time but takes a good minute or two to establish a BT connection, very annoying on short trips.
I've seen a Sony unit that has a nice carbon looking faceplate and multi-color illumination for around $100 at Wally World. I don't know how quickly it will establish BT but cosmetically it would look very at home in the 986 dash.
