I basically want bluetooth phone/stream on my base car. After driving my Lexus, it gets annoying to have to remove the phone from my pocket and hook it up through AUX every time. I figure if I am going to spend the money, might as well get a double din to get the DVD feature and possibly navigation. Here are my questions

#1 Is NAV on the modern head unit worth it?
#2 Do any of them have HDMI input for video?
#3 Since the car is so loud, can the bluetooth mic muffle enough noise to make the upgrade worth it?
#4 Do i need an amp?
#5 Anyway to keep steering control?
#6 Do they have Android system built into them?
#1 Yes it is Kenwood especially with garmin GPS
#2 I think one of sony's newest models might have it but other than that no. I do not see where it would be worth it either way.
#3 Pioneer mic's seem to be worse on picking up echo from the speakers and noise compared to others.
#4 Depends on the speakers you want to run.
#5 Yes metra axxess all day
#6 There are a few android based head units and most of the newer models will control android just fine. Just make sure to check compatibility with your phone. I know app radio 2 will not work with the s3 right now.
