Search this site on Avic D3!

Pickup a double din DVD / Nav / ipod / XM, etc., system and you'll never regret it! I put JL audio subs in the door first and that made a nice difference. I then replaced the head unit with an Avic D3 (new models are better) and a cheap amp and my stereo setup is really cool. I spent like $500 on the head unit, $75 on the amp and got some free subs from a generous neighbor. The dash speakers are decent enough for now...

You can change the color of the buttons on the Pioneer systems. I like blue best.

My 9 year old loves going for a ride. We connect the iPod video to the Avic D3 and play rock videos like Blink 182, +44, Box Car Racer and Angels and Airwaves (all derivations of Blink 182 members)...

Go with the DVD / Nav systems and you'll never regret it!

DVD/Nav

"Go with the DVD / Nav systems and you'll never regret it!"

I agree with the above, as long as you have the money. Last year I got a nav unit which I loved, but I hate having to run the power plugs to it. So I just finished having a Kenwood double din DVD/nav unit installed and the system looks and sounds great. An added bonus with many of the later-generation head units is the bluetooth phone capability, kinda fun to have your whole car be a 1000 watt cell phone.

Now, as soon as the car gets back from the shop, I will be able to enjoy it. My aftermarket headers burned a hole in the coolant line, and I was spraying coolant all over the place.
