do you have a budget? i mean, for 600$ i could pack a Pioneer Avic-x910bt in there.
what features do you want? navigation? dvd? lcd screen? color choice? bluetooth?
do you want double din (original 6-disk in-dash CD radio size) or single din (small thin radio size, half the size of double din) you can convert your dash to give you a radio sized single din, with a in dash "cd holder" (basically just a slot to put stuff in) with a dash kit that you buy from best buy, a radio store, or even wal-mart.
if you dont feel confident, you can always have Best buy install it (well, you could ask anyways sometimes they say the whole system needs to be changed cuz they know nothing). but thats not fun lol

I'd get anything Pioneer. Pioneer makes great products and you can't break them. I would never trust Best Buy to install anything in my car. I have a horror story about them.
Cliffnotes horror story: bought mustang-speakers blown-went to bestbuy for a cheap quick fix-they install everything, wire up the tweeters and the front speakers (NO BACK SPEAKERS OR AMPS)-took back, they told me I had to buy another $50 harness that I would have to go drive 30 miles to get and I would have to pay more $$$ for it to be installed right- took it to my local guy and got it done right
if you're going to have a NICE "deck" installed take it to someone who knows wtf they're doing

I like it, looks solid, I've never see one in person so I can't give you any personal experiences with it, but it has a good rating so, yeah I'd give it a try... good call doing it with a few friends, good luck, make sure you get all the harnesses you need

lmao..im thinking i can do it tho. lol i just talked to some guy from best buy again..he said i need a harness and something else. i'll see...its definitely gonna be more expensive if i get it done there(and of course theres that chance that they eff it up) i might just take it down to miami where i got it registered and have them do it for me...
