Like a BOSS.

Iono... I'd go for Alpine, Kenwood, or Pioneer; but that's just my opinion. Figure out if you want quality product as an investment or just something cheap to get the job done.

sometimes its better to spend a little more on a HU

Look at options you want, and find what you need to accomplish that
*ipod hook up
*usb front
*navigation
*bluetooth
*pre-amp
*dvd player
*touch screen
*sat. radio

First know what options you want/need then buy!

I have the DDX-516 and have been very happy with it for the last 2 years.

If you want to cave some $, consider some other options for the accessories you mentioned. For example, instead of built-in nav, why not get a $100 Garmin and install it in the cubby? You can get a better unit for much less money, and the map upgrades will always be easier/cheaper. Second, if you have an iPhone, use the Sirius iPhone app instead of buying another subscription for the car. I've been doing this for a few years, and it works great, and you can take the Sirius anywhere with you. The main subscription is tied to my wife's Acura, and I only pay a few $ per month for online access, which is what the iPhone app needs. Finally, for bluetooth, I just keep a $50 headset in the console, and like the iPhone, it's not tied to the car so I can use it anywhere.
