I replaced my factory unit with an Alpine W505 double din. It's a lot of work.

We also replaced my speakers, added amplifier and subwoofer.

Here is what I have .....

Alpine W505 DVD
Alpine NVE-P1 Navigation
MCSQ6.5 - Memphis MClass 6.5" Component Speakers Front
MCSQ6.5 - Memphis MClass 6.5" Component Speakers Rear
JL Audio 10W7-3 Subwoofer
JL Audio 500/1 Amplifier
