Default Single Din radio in a C5

Just picked up a 2004 coupe yesterday. My only disappointment is the inability to play my MP 3 library and lack of Bluetooth for my phone. Read about the possibility of using the remote CD player with a MP3 player.
I have been looking at a single din unit for a solution. Anyone have any recommendations?
I am totally unfamiliar with today's audio leaders. Thanks.

I just finished putting a Kenwood KDC-X702 in my '04 Z06 this weekend. It sounds great, an unbelievable difference from the stock bose.

I went single din because I don't drive my car that much. I just wanted bluetooth and hands free phone capabilities without breaking the bank.

I went for a JVC KD-AV41BT for the same reason. It looks like from Crutchfield that it hase the same accessories to make it work for a C5.
Any words of advice?I have the original radio out and am waiting for the new to arrive. Thanks
