Looking for a new headunit...

I'm planning on getting a new head unit. I dont want to go anymore than $200 (is that too low?) I want to be able to hook up subs and an amp in the future, and overall I want it to look nice. Crutchfield has a deal where most of their headunits come with free harnesses and a free dash kit to hold the head unit. So thats where i'm looking at right now. If anyone has any recommendations on a head unit, that'd be great.

As far as features go, like I said, capabilities of control of subs, iPod hook up would be nice, and a nice interface. Are there any motorized (like when you want to put a CD in it goes down itself) head units for under 200 besides the one Dual?

Thanks in advance!
-Ryan

Also, has anyone heard anything about this, Blaupunkt Bahamas MP46. It looks nice and functional minus all the useless stuff.

I was looking at a couple Pioneer's. Specifically the Pioneer DEH-P4800MP, Pioneer DEH-P5800MP. I really want this one, the Pioneer DEH-P6800MP. It looks real nice. But those are the Pioneers I was looking at. Basically I'm looking at a lot of stuff and trying to narrow it down.

If I had the money to drop on one I would.

I'm looking at this though as well, it seems to be a pretty well made unit. Panasonic CQ-C8303U.

Does anyone have it or know anything about it? It looks pretty solid and the reviews are alright.

I have that clarion DXZ855MP, probably closest your going to get to an actual screen for a while, I can take pics tomorrow for you since I think I'm going to put my stock one back in and see if I really hate it or can live with it for a while lol, the clarion is awesome and one just sold used on ebay for $275...

I prefer Alpines or Eclipse, but I have a Kenwood and I really like it. Got it through insurance and an Alpine was 2 weeks out.... Couldn't wait that long so I took the guys recommendation. He had one and put one in his wifes car, so I took that one. Its the KDC-X789 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-HI0RL3b...p?i=113KDCX789

That's something possible in the future. Right now I cant just drop 500+ for one. I'd love to but thats just not possible right now.

Does anyone have this Pioneer DEH-P6800MP or know anything about it? It looks to be really nice besides that the lights are real bright at night..

Anymore info on that or the Panasonic CQ-C8303U would be great!

Thanks.
