I thought about that one. I was VERY close to going with it. I liked the Bluetooth, SD Card Reader, Cosmetics, Variable Lighting. What finally killed it for me was the lack of Pre-Out RCA expandability. I also didn't like the fact that it didn't have a CD drive. Cheap money though...
I went with this one...
It's a discontinued Clarion unit from 2005. I was able to track one down as a Factory Refurb. It has variable illumination(I have it set for Blue in the day and green at night) It does EVERYTHING. Even has Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound capabilities... It's a Clarion DXZ955MC. I originally retailed for $799. I got it Refurbed for $305 Shipped.
The Pioneer Premier Unit that DanielNTX has is also a very nice silver faced unit with PLENTY of capabilities. It was my second choice after the Clarion (I'm a Clarion PosterChild, I LOVE their Decks, I've had 8 of them in 14 years and 25ish cars. I kept them longer than most of the cars)...
