Hey everyone, I've been looking for an in-dash DVD player for my 06 tC. I want to keep my steering wheel controls and would prefer no drilling done to my dash.

I'd like to find one for $5-800, but quality and function is very important to me as well. I don't need GPS at all (already have a Garmin nuvi 200), I really just need a nice-looking screen, DVD playback, has good ipod support (scroll through music easily), and gives clear sound

Another note: I already have the upgraded Pioneer deck with ipod connector. I don't want to lose this feature

I dominantly want this cuz I'm upgrading my stock speakers soon, and want a head unit to help give crisp audio

Please give your suggestions.. (along with pics, product name, cost, place of purchase, etc. if possible) thanks!

If you don't need a navi system.... I've heard a lot of good things about this Clarion

if you want to keep the steering wheel controls you can get the PAC controller...it's not that expensive...as far as other head units crutchfield.com has a good special on the D3 right now...it comes with the bluetooth module and the ipod cable

I have the PAC steering control module as well. Its kinda tricky if you've never done wiring before.

u can always get a avic-d3x from al-eds which is about $599 with free shipping. Its a dvd and navi system
