The Pioneer AVIC-D3 is real good.
Key features include: XM NavTraffic integration, voice prompting, telephone number search, and a bunch of entertainment features like support for both XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, CD/DVD playback, iPod Direct, iPod video support and expanded Bluetooth capabilities including wireless audio streaming.

The AVIC-D3 fits into a standards double-din dash opening, and rocks a beautiful 6.1 inch display with eight built-in illumination colors, and the option to choose from 32,000 other color variations (allowing the unit to match pretty much any vehicle on the road).

Pioneer's AVIC-D3 provides mapping and routes for the entire United States and Canada, with detailed mapping and detailed lane information in 50 cities. Included in the system are about 12 million points of interest like ATMs, gas stations, hotels and restaurants, which can be overlaid directly onto the map. The system utilizes 59 brand icons for quick identification of familiar POIs.

With the optional traffic tuner, the GEX-P10XMT, and a XM NavTraffic subscription, you can receive real-time alert of current traffic incidents and traffic flow conditions, by overlaying the information onto the map screen with flashing lines and icons, and providing an alternative route around the obstruction.

XM and Sirius Satellite Radio are both available options in the AVIC-D3, and the front-panel mounted mini-jack A/V input allows the addition to other attached components such as camcorders, gaming devices or music players.

Alpine (IVA-W505)
First of all, this device looks slick. The colors are great, and the graphical user interface is modern and has a high-tech feel to it. The 7” screen is motorized, so you can adjust the viewing angle to your liking.

While playing any media files, it displays all of the media information, like the album, artist, title, etc. This device connects to your Ipod via USB or the direct Ipod connector. I’ve personally never tried, but it apparently can hook up to two Ipods. It can also sync to any other mp3 player via the USB port or load a variety of different disc formats, even DVDs.

It has an array of neat features. One in particular is the subwoofer control, which lets you adjust the sub levels on-screen. You can also change the background on the device by downloading themes online, even though there are only a few instances where you would be able to see it.

This device is on the expensive side, but if you’re looking for a full featured multimedia package, look no further. This baby does the trick.
