Well I have been looking around a lot for different decks and wondering which ones are the best for what I am willing to pay. I would like one of those that have a touch screen and actually come out of the dash, but it is not necessity. The more reviews I read on them any of them under 1000$ are cheap and break often. My budget for one of these seems to be no more than 500$. I would like blue tooth for my cell phone, my cars computer has the ability to see what bands /songs are playing on fm radio (no idea what its called), and have the capability of iPod usage (I have an iPod touch). Anybody know what I should be looking at off the bat? I have been looking at a lot of crutchfield stuff but none of it seems to wow me.

Oh I am putting this deck in a 2002 VW Passat. It has a massive area for a radio. I would say double the normal height and the same width...

I really like the last one, but not very good reviews...

anything ALPINE

Best is subjective, perhaps letting us know what makes something the "best" for you would help.

Also, don't post links without a description of what they are in the text above. Links with no header are seriously annoying.

I would go with the second one(JVC) because Im thinking of getting one, but it has the highest preamp voltage and its the best quality. just my .02

i would look at the pioneer in dash double dins ... they are decent quality for your budget and have great expansions .... if you are really concerned about preout voltage just get a line driver

I have a Pioneer avh-p5000DVD, its a single din. I am very happy with it, I think you can get it for around 500 on some sites.
