Cool... I think I'm going to go with the jvc... it says it will connect with android phones where the others only specify iPhone... plus its got a more modern look to it and according to reviews, better user interface...

How do you like the pioneer? I've got a pioneer CD player in my car now (little over a year old) and I have to turn it up past 40 to hear any lyrics... that's why's I'm replacing it lol

I still have my original double din in, but the volume is screwy, so I am also looking to see whats available.

It's awesome. The only thing I wish it had was an actual volume knob instead of the buttons. Sometimes on a uneven road, the right button doesn't get pushed for volume But then again, my suspension is shot...

That's probably one of the biggest pet peeves I have with double din screen units. You should have a flip screen so that you can insert the DVD/CD behind the screen. Gives you more real estate for the screen.
