I prefer the ones that slides in and out, pops out then slides back in. touch screen or buttons, doesnt really matter. easy plug and play (I am familiar with installing cd decks if that helps). The screen that just stays there out on the dashboard just attracts theives. And one that has the feature to play music of course. if possible, maybe with visual graphics (like the visuals you see on windows media player when playing a music). But other than that I am not looking for anything else or fancy. Looking for something around $200-$400. i got a 95 honda accord so I am not sure if it will fit in the din.

darn, i hate being lost when visiting new areas lol.

these grabbed my attention though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb-s0yGTOpo

first off that guy is totally lame for making that video. Second that is a pioneer AVIC-N1 (or N2 or N3) they retail for about $1800, so ur price range is unrealistic, dont bother with it tho, look into the AVIC-D3 it retails for $1000 and does more stuff than the N3 does (i-pod and blue tooth) it is a double din, which in the long run u will be happier with for at least 3 reasons:
1. it fills in your whole radio opening, so no more cheap pocket
2. it looks way better than a flipout (much more low key, could pass for stock)
3. more reliable motor assembly (less chance of the gears breaking since there are less)

 

but still... i need some sort of equipment to conceal them if possible.

and how easy is it to install a navigation system on a scale 1-10 (10 being the hardest)? i have never installed one before, but i have experience installing any kind of cd decks perfectly.

 

you are more likely to have a single din with the face taken off, ripped out of your car than a double din in my experience. theives tend to overlook double dins plus the d3 is very low key.
with a regular radio rating at a 2 a double din nav would probably be a 4 in your car. In a newer car trying to get VSS is a PITA a lot of times.

 

with the money you will save buying the d3 over an n3 get an alarm, then your set.
