Default Stereo Head unit question!!

I have a 2005 F-150 SCREW, it came stock, with a 6 disc cd changer with a regular radio, I have been having problems with it here recently and want to change it, and upgrade to a DVD player. Can i get the head unit with the DVD and navigation that come stock on a lariat or a king ranch edition, or do i have to go aftermarket, and also, some thoughts on some aftermarket products would be great!! Thanks for all the help

I hate factory audio, Personally I think the best is Kenwood or Alpine as far as headunits, Pioneer is good as well.

Default Go after market

Although relatively new to this forum, I have several years expirence with audio systems and installations. Over the years auto makers have attempted to improve the performance of "factory" systems but they haven't been able to match Pioneer, Sony, Clarion, Alpine, etc... There are several companies that sell after market systems so you just need to find one that has a system you like. IMO, Crutchfield is one of the best. They have several different devices available and they offer the best "tech" advice you can find. Again this is just MO. Hope this helps and let us know how you make out.
