I initially though I'd go double DIN since that's the size of the opening but thought I'd ask if there's a benefit to a double DIN if I don't plan on installing a radio with GPS? I'm hoping to find a HU that will have a similar color to the rest of the lights in the car but the more I think about it I may be giving up a great HU b/c it has blue lights...IDK.

Main features I want:
- BT HF Calling
- BT audio streaming
- CD player
- HD Radio would be nice
- SiriusXM compatible
- RDS

Long term I plan to have a nice 2.1 setup speaker wise.
Look at the Pioneer X5500BHS. It is double DIN and has all the features and adaptability you want. You can get the color scheme to match whatever car you have and can even do a custom background. These are dirt cheap right now (should be able to get at or below $299). 4V to boot.

You can add a backup camera if you like, and if you are an iPhone user, you can mirror a bunch of apps. Even if you don't use the advanced app mode, it is still a relative bargain.

I have the X4500BT - similar to the 5500, but lacks HD radio (I don't listen to radio apart from National Pinko Radio and HD isn't useful for that).
