Default Looking for inexpensive double din

I been looking at touchscreen double din units for my 05 C6 and all I really want is a rear sub output, Bluetooth, and a way to hook up my iPhone/iPod. I am looking at the inexpensive units like on the auction sites since I don't want to spend a ton. Any suggestions would be great

Thank

I would honestly gt in touch with Dennis at Double D Mods.

If you want all of those features, I would rather have quality parts instead of something that the blue tooth fails after a year and you have to replace it.

It might not be as cheap as a $150 amazon free shipper, but I wouldn't want to buy a cardboard double din.

While you can find quite a few of them for $195 (Pyle, Boss, Etc), personally I would spend the extra $150 and move up to a Kenwood or Pioneer unit. The basic Kenwood or Pioneer units will run $300 + $50 for the cable. Touch screens, and licensed tech for iPod integration aren't cheap, and any units selling for under $200 make me very leery of where they're cutting corners.

One other option is if you can give up the touch screen, you can get pretty good units for much less. Kenwood has the 308u ($170ish + cord), and there's even a decent Eclipse unit available for $99 complete.
