Default Can you please recommend me a head unit?

I have a 2008 v6 mustang with the stalk shaker 500 6 cd changer. I want to get a 7in touch screen system, to replace it. I don't need gps, but i would like cd/dvd and ipod connections.

I would like to be able to buy it off ebay so i don't have to pay full price but if you can show me a good one, maybe i will buy it.

I would like to spend under $500

thanks

If you want GPS/NAV and ipod and all of that jass while still being classy check out the Kenwood DNX7100. 00blkstanggt and myself have a similar screen minus nav (the DDX512) and I for one can Kenwood has amazing quality. Lot's of cool stuff with the DDX and DNX models, and they look classy too!

Here's the link to the DNX7100

Then go with the Kenwood DDX512. Has iPod hookup so you can listen to all your music and watch any videos you have on it. Has the ability to add a GPS to it and bluetooth. Easy install and looks great.

JVC is shitty. Here is the Kenwood me and king were talking about. It's like the same price as the JVC but better.
