Stay away from XO vision unless you want problems. A good used Kenwood or JVC is the best way to go. It’s a buyers market on every thing with the way the economy is. You should be able to come up on a good double din new or very good condition for around $400 with a butt load of feature right now. Check eBay out for $400 you can hind a head unit that would have been $800 a year ago.

Dont forget about the Pioneer.

What kind of features are you after? Nav? Bluetoots? Ipod? Sat Radio?

ipod plug in the back going through glove box. dont care about satellite radio. navi would be nice but not necessary. i just want a nice 7" screen that controls my ipod and looks and sounds badASS. how about clarion? pioneer seems to be more expensive than the others. alpine looks to be the best bet. i think im goin to be getting this bad boy. http://cgi.ebay.com/Pioneer-AVH-P410...item5885034f8b

pioneer. try the 900bt. it maybe a little more than your 100 dollars, but it includes navi and bluetooth.. well worth it imo

$400 is right near what a Pioneer AVH-P4100 goes for and I love mine. Clean and fast with great ipod interface via the USB cord.

P4100 for sure. Stay away from the 900...slow as *****. If you want nav get the new x910, much better interface.
