I got the
corksport dash kit
pioneer avic d3
bluetooth adapter
ipod adapter
xm satellite radio adapter with NavTraffic

It wasent too expensive considering what I got.

I can control my ipod from the head unit... So i just toss my ipod in the glove box and never touch it.

Navigation is awesome

XM satellite radio is awesome and the NavTraffic gives me live traffic updates on my navigation that way my nav can find me alternate routes around traffic.

Hands free bluetooth for my cell

And it plays all kinds of dvd formats... I cant complain at all..

If you want to hear prices just PM me... There is alot more pics of the unit and the install in my install thread here.

I like the second to last picture the best. I think you should have left it like that. The red on green is just oh so sexy.
