Question Best touch screen cd player???!!??

Im looking for a new HU. I want one that has around a 7" touch screen. WOndering if anyone has any suggestions and maybe pics of their own. DVD and ipod input is a must have! Dont want one of the ones that you have to be in park to watch the dvds! lol Thanks for the help! This is for an 06 xb. I have to stay at the $250 mark or very close too. This is the one that i have been lookin at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

When I was in Walmart the other night, I saw they had this unit which is around the price range you were looking for. The picture quality looked really good but it was in a display case and too late at night to find someone that would let me play with it.

Yeah that one looks very similar to the Jensen one i posted. My only issue is that the reviews are saying that the audio quality isnt as good as the Jensen. Plus the one from ebay comes with warranty of like a year or two. But thanks for the heads up.

I've never heard anything good about Jensen, and just about every time i've seen one at wal-mart it was messed up somehow.

Try looking there, not only are they cheap, they have reviews. The whole thing about it not playing unless the car is in park, I think it's a safety requirement by all manufactures, all you do is ground or put 12 volts to one wire.

For about $200 you can build your own carputer... All you would need then is a $50 touch screen. If you dig around in the right places you can build the carputer for even cheaper. I built mine with new parts (excluding the case/power/screen) for only $240 with a 300GB drive, 2GB memory, and wifi card. Going to add a GPS receiver and ODBII port sniffer to it before it's all done. You can also shave about 100+ on the system by using linux.
