Default Stereo Upgrade...Need Help!

Hey there,

I don't really know anything about automotive audio, so I will need some assistance.

I know that I want to stick with Pioneer. I currently drive a 2006 tC, and the original stock stereo system is what I have been using. I would like to upgrade to something that does the following:

allows me to use steering wheel controls
plays dvd's
allows me to use my ipod if i want
has bluetooth
is touchscreen
navigation really isn't necessary...my cell phone uses navigation so i don't really need it

I like the stock speakers, and i have installed the bazooka 10" as well. I really like the way that combo sounds together.

It was suggested to me that I see if the upgrade Pioneer setup that the 2008 and 2009 tC models have could work in the 2006. Are these compatible?

Does anyone have any suggestions for what they have used? Please help!

are u going to install it yourself?
get the eclipse avn series. very easy install. i have 5510, it is plug and play with your steering wheel control. and bypass is easy for dvd playing.
search for the avn-5510 review.

+1 on the eclipse, you wont even have to buy a stereo install kit, the connectors in the tC plug right into the deck

X2! I just bought a decent head unit at Best Buy and bought a homie a sack of rice and a pack of hot dogs to install the damn thing.

Check this out, headunits are like cell phones, new technology comes out every month, so dont dump a buttt load of cheddar on it. it will go stale in a month. LOL.
