Default In dash navigation suggestions

Looking to upgrade my factory system to an in dash naviagtion system. I really favor Kenwood but will take suggestions on other brands. Here is what I am looking for it to have if possible:

1. Navigation (like the Garmin layout)
2. Bluetooth capability
3. DVD
4. Aux input (have an XM receiver that works with my aux connection now
so would like to keep it that way)

I know there are tons of other features that come with these but these are the important areas I would definitely want. Any suggestions you can give and possibly where they are sold would be so greatly appreciated.

THANKS

u think the kenwood (like the 6960) is better than the pioneer AVIC radios? I normally see those pioneers being pushed

all kenwood models use the same navigation, i wouldnt have said it was the best navigation out there if it wasnt..i have 2 kenwood units with there navigation, the avic's have bad bad bad rep of unfixable ground noise resulting in the need to be sent in for repairs

i can attest to that my P4 does it i just gave up i love all the features it has, but its either crystal clear or i have an ALT whine but i listen to it loud enough to where i don't really hear so i don't really care anymore

the only way to fix it is 1 of 2 ways, ground out the rca casing on the back of the deck, or buy fosgates new module they came out with that "guarantee's" it will eliminate all ground noise

i have one of Fosgates GLI and it does not work it worked for the first few start ups after i installed it but it just comes back. so unless they came out with a new one just recently it does not work

but what do i have to do to ground out the RCAs to the back of my HU?

you get a piece of wire, wrap one end around the casing of the rca's, attatch the other to a ground in the vehicle
