Guys thank you for all the help. I bought the Clarion CX 400 unit for $143, so I'm pretty happy about that for now. It actually has iPod interface, through USB and actually the ability to control the iPod from the unit.
What I really liked about the JVC unit is that it has a USB port in the front so you wouldnt have to run a wire through your car. Unfortunately the release date of the JVC units is March 2010. That probably the reason why none of the discount retailers are carrying it yet.
If I decide to upgrade to a DVD touch screen unit I'm going to go with the Clarion MAX385VD. Or a newer version of the same product.
The NEW JVC units look REALLY nice, so maybe if the price falls, I'll end up switching to those and selling my Clarion CX400 (maybe to one of you guys
If anyone can direct me to thread that could guide me in the process of switching head units, that would be great.
Thanks guys,
Eugene G.
