Default New Head Unit ( Help Choosing )

Think the Eclipse AVN 6000 ( Think that is right ) is likely to be the one to go for but just want to know if there are any better options out there.

Only have 4 Requirments

Navigation
GOOD I-Pod interface
GOOD sound with just a speaker upgrade. DO NOT WANT AMPS OR SUBS
Fairly Plain face so I think a double din with mostly screen is probably the go

Any other features are a bonus but the Mrs has to use it so simple operation for ALL regular functions is a must.

i find the double din screen only unit's are useless when it comes to sun glare. also, there is no way of "hiding" them so thieves can't see them...

i'd go a fold-out screen TBH, also, don't forget, "by law" you are supposed to have it so the screen function is completely disabled when the car is in motion if the screen is infront of the driver's seats. Most stereo installers will install it this way to avoid any fines down the track, so keep that in mind, you would be staring at a pretty blank screen most of the time, unless u change it...
