I put a sweet Pioneer DVD/CD touch screen in my Jeep. I have been extremely pleased with it. It has a sd card/usb/and aux input. It also integrates with iTunes so I just keep my iPod in the glove box. It shows album art and everything. The ONLY problem I have with it is that that is in the front, but I did a decent install to make it look as good as possible. I think I got it on ebay brand new for around 350 or so. Easy install too. Let me know if you want pics or anything else.



Good luck!

I am running a Kenwood DDX-812. The DDX-8120 would include built in Navigation. It has iPod control. It also takes USB so if your external can just be plugged in and sit in the glove compartment but unfortunately it does not have a SD Card reader. It also has an Aux input.

What is your budget and brand preference? You can spend as much or as little as you want.

Any of the head units with an USB port will work. I used a Pioneer last I paid less than $200 for. I put my music on flash drives with a MP3 format and stopped using my IPod.
