if you're looking for a dvd unit, check out the new pioneer AVH 4400BH. that would be my choice if i was going to replace my deck today on my Z. buy it cheap through amazon.

if you're looking for nav unit, then i would go for one of the kenwoods as they have garmin built in.

but this day in age, nav should be either already oem installed, or taken from your smartphone. it's silly paying for updates. google nav is free and i found it works very well. i use in my G with a droid4 + proclip.

Dude...can you hear yourself? You sound like you're shopping for a prom dress.

Why are you wanting a new stereo? What is wrong with the stock stereo? Why are the stock stereo and speakers not satisfying enough for you? What do you need out of this precious DD stereo?

What kinds or music do you like? Need big bass?
Do you get lost easy? Need navigation?
Do you want to watch DVDs in the car?
Do you want a touch screen or do you prefer big buttons?
What is a couple bucks?! What is your budget?
Will you be installing yourself?

Go on crutchfield and use " outfit my car"

If you plan on keeping stock speakers opt for a HU that has a higher watts RMS per channel.

Personally i will be choosing a navi DD HU.
