Default Aftermarket Sat Nav Ideas

Ok folks, my immigration is almost through and i'll soon be residing in Pensacola and am actually due over for a trip this month.

I'm really keen to get an aftermarket sat nav installed into the double din aperture.
Coming from the UK i know what to go for here, but, i'm not so sure of the better options in the US, so, any ideas would be great.

I also want iPod connectivity and a bluetooth facility for a hands free phone set up.
I currently have a Kenwood setup in my MINI.

Truck is an 06 F-150 Harley Ltd Edition

Any ideas greatly appreciated, i did see a few older installs but they were exactly that, i'm thinking that there are newer installs available now.

Thanks in advance

I put the Kenwood DNX 5120 in my 06 Lariat. It offers easy iPod connectivity - iPod hides in the glove box and is run on screen and with steering controls, same for bluetooth with my iPhone and the Sirius sat radio. It is a great Nav unit plus a simple wiring adaption and I can play DVDs as i drive and it handles my license plate back-up camera. Outstanding unit, easy install.

Bought at Crutchfield. Now probably a model or two out of date but you can't go wrng working with a Crutchfield advisor to get what you want.
