Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood. I've run all of them, and loved each one of them when I was using it. They all served their purpose at the time.

What's your budget? Also, what features are you looking for (Ipod, USB, Navi, etc.)? That will help everyone here help you out more...

Well i'm sure a lot of people will tell you, if you're only looking to spend 250 you won't get much.
You probably can't find much of a double din unit to fill up that huge spot left by taking out the factory radio.
As long as you don't mind have some free space floating around you could get a decent single din.
So if your hoping for nav or anything else you might be out of luck. I just put in my Kenwood DNX-5120 and i love it!
Almost went with the Pioneer AVIC-F700BT but glad i went with the Ken.

Loved my Excelon but my JVC is better.

I had an Alpine 9884 and the Ipod integration was amazing. It's the same on the 9884, 9885, 9886, 9887. I think you can get a 9886 for around 250 now, but if you can get a 9887, it has much much more sound quality adjustments. The only thing is, you'd have to upgrade the rest of your audio system to take full advantage of it. A more budget option would be either the 9884 or 9886.
