Aftermarket touch screen head unit?
I already searched...
Eventually im looking at replacing my radio and get a touch screen unit.
Now i know im going to have to get a new cover.
What is a good radio that isnt a slide out.
I think im trying to look into a full screen touch radio.
One needs to have dvd player, AUX port, Mp3 format.
i want it to be nice.
anyone have a nice full screen touch radio?
Give me some opinions on good radios.
Price is deff a problem too.

there is a ton of great choices for touchscreen headunits. i actually decided to go with the eclipse avn726. its a great screen the only thing i would let you know is that if your going with a navigation unit, its bit low so its hard to keep your eyes on the road and take a look at it.. its not very clear but will take better pics if you want a better view.

pioneer makes a good line of the headunit that you describe. In case you don't want to search, you are looking for a double-din style headunit that has a touchscreen and in order for it to work in an RX8(for the most part) you will need to buy the metra kit for the rx8 which has most of the necessary cables, adapters, and instructions that you need. I have the pioneer avh-p4100 headunit and it is really nice and works well with my ipod

lol well they make plenty of them too!
AVH-3200BT comes with built in bluetooth.
The 4200 is a little more money AND doesn't have bluetooth.... but has a slightly larger screen.

Is it worth getting a pioneer P4200 if I have the Bose system? I would like to add the unit but i'm not sure if the bose speakers will connect fully with the touchscreen...any ideas?

Thanks, I wasn't concerned with the model differences but rather the compatibility with the extra bose speakers. Last question, if I get the 4100/4200 and the metra kit, will the steering wheel controls still work to change songs and volume?

i have a pioneer x910bt and i love it. it has navigation which you said you don't need but good luck finding a large selection with your criteria without navigation. i think that will severely limit your options.

pioneer with bluetooth. i love it i flush mounted the mic for the bluetooth in the little kick panel next to dsc. in the trunk its a JL W3 size 13.5" with a JL 500/v2 amp. i burped a 110 in an spl contest at a car show so its not quiet lol its also really light the whole setup weighs about 25 lbs

SWC controls
Try the Metra ASWC for the steering wheel controls. No programming, it automatically recognizes the RX8 controls, recognizes the radio, and maps the buttons for you (you can re-map them if you want to). No lag time, either. Just make sure that the radio has a wired SWC input.
