X2 Be sure it has USB, skip GPS and skip Sirius unless you like to pay to listen to babbling DJ's and self serving commercials.

I would also be interested in a recommendation by brand and model.
I had a replacement installed by a "car audio" place.
Total cost was less than $200.
It has all the features I wanted, including BlueTooth.

The PROBLEMS ARE:
Operation is confusing; each button does about 6 different things.
The last straw was when the battery was disconnected to clean. ALL the settings disappeared except the pre-set buttons. So far, I've had to pull the book out 3 times to get my settings back. GRRRRRRRR.

I'm getting too old to put up with **** like that.

I bought a replacement radio from Amazon for about $30. No CD player - we don't travel with them anyway. I put about 500 of our favorite songs on a USB drive and just set the player to shuffle.

Not this one, but like it:

I agree with Jeff, Crutchfield is a great resource. I replaced my old double-din radio with a new one and they made it very easy (tools, wiring adapters, etc.). The problem these days is that radios have SOOOO many options that picking exactly what you want/need can be a challenge. :-)

For the cost of replacing my radio which broke I had a company install Sirius radio so I have radio while traveling anywhere without finding channels and I have am fm radio. Cost was quite reasonable.
