yeah, i'd hate giving up the cd player also. i just put a pioneer deh-p690ub in mine xfire. i love it. 7 band eq really helped the sound of the car also. it has ipod abilities, also has a usb input so people like me and buy flash drives instead of ipods (much less money). the deck will play directly of the usb port. i don't think it has the bluetooth, but the 790ub does(i think). what is your price point. if the budget is tight, your best bet is panasonic for finding all these features at a lower cost. also panasonic likes to produce silver decks. other than that, i favor pioneer premier and jvc. jvc was my first choice, but i decided to stick under $250 on my purchase
