Get an iPhone or Android and an adapter to plug it into the factory radio. People won't steal the factory radio. The phone won't be in the car.

This gives you:
- navigation
- all the music you want including XM if you like that
- Upgradeability

Only drawbacks are the somewhat small screen and you have to plugin the phone each time you get in the car. You get used to it. My radio had never left AUX since I got the adapter.

there is no best double din because there are to many companys that sells them its gonna be based on what you want your head unit to do ?? i like alpine head units some people dont some like pioneer, kenwood, jvc, clarion, and there many cheaper brands as well. your just gonna have to compare them all to see which fits your needs n wants

Clarion makes a decent unit and with a reasonable price.

I like my pioneer avh4300dvd can get on amazon or ebay for about $300. has gps, Bluetooth, back up camera an a few other add ons! don't have any of them, I really like the head unit! bought a cable off ebay to plug in from the back of the radio to the bottom of the iPhone, let's you play music, videos, YouTube, and pandora. pandora has its on source on the head unit, everything is done off the screen no need to use your iPhone.
