Due to appearance, most of us like the single-DIN Marine products from JVC, Kenwood and Clarion.

My car is an SE with aftermarket interior so I went with an RD660 JVC head - but that does not give you navigation.
I will be VERY surprised if you can find anything with Navigation worth buying. As far as CD, AM/FM, MP3, etc., those are easy. Many units even support a Satellite radio add-on.

Hopefully, someone will prove me wrong on the Navigation thing.....................

This one has great reviews, 6 volt ( YES 6 VOLT ) pre-amp outputs, bluetooth, and a front USB.
The reviews 'say' the GPS works great.

I have googled the Jenson one and it seems perfect as he wanted a flip screen ... trouble is we are in the UK ..

I can order on Amazon which is fine but before I do ... do you think it will definitely fit the car !!??? aaagghh !!

No guarantee, but the 'single DIN' radios have always physically fit.
You are aware that it will NOT be 'plug and play', right ?
You will need an adapter harness for the wiring, and an antenna converter thingey along with the keys for removing the OEM radio.

( They are down below on the Amazon page ) :

Of course, the AM and FM bands in the UK are different from what we have here. So for AM/FM radio use, an "American" version wont' be much help to you for listening to such broadcasts.

Unless there is a UK/EU programming option - which may be the case.
