Hey guys, you know of any double din units that meet the following criteria: (Also any that are upcoming within the next 6 months)

1) ability to change color / backgrounds to achieve a stock car look
2) good SQ (for a double din)
3) navigation
4) good multimedia manager (iphone, bluetooth, etc.. interfaces)

I'm using the avic-z3 right now but a few big drawbacks to it:
1) only blue, can't change any colors, background pic change sucks badly and can only be done with CD in it unless unlocked but even then only background change
2) you need to have a original (wav) cd to save stuff to HD which is rather a pain in most cases

Thanks!

Only 3 band EQ, no time alignment that I can see, and no 3 way active....might be a deal breaker

don't know if you need this level of sonic control. other wise this seems like a solid unit

Besides SQ, the Pio 900BT fits your description

True. I would only consider using this unit in conjunction with a processor of some kind. But for the original poster's checklist, the eclipse blows the competition out of the water according to all projected reviews and the award.
