Head Unit poll

Well, my good old Clarion ADX is crapping out on me now, CD isn't working, just likes to spin the disc forever until its too hot to use -_-

and I upgraded all my speakers anyway so, this is the last step, I want to stay double DIN, because I like the look, draws the attention and you don't have that ugly box underneath/above it, and I've always wanted a screen in my car.

1) Go with another Double DIN Stereo
2) Save some money, spring for a good 6.5"/7" In-dash DVD player HU
3) Buy a Single DIN, then a Screen down the road
4) Suck it up, keep my stereo

Now, as far as my wallet goes, I'd prefer to spend roughly $200-$400 on this, college and whatnot is rather important, and most of my money is going into a college fund, but the stuff I have alotted myself will add up over the next coule of weeks.

Opinions?

Double din units without a screen are hard to find these days and are overpriced in my opinion. So if it were me, Id rule out numbers 1 and 4. Then, between 2 and 3, it depends how much money you want to drop in the long run. Obviously #2 is going to keep it simple all in one, look better, and draw attention, but thats your call.

Anyone who has a 4th gen that does not go Monitor/stand-alone HU is a fool. YOu guys have a huge amount of expansion capability, take advantage of it!
