Yeah I made my bezel in a double DIN. A single DIN is a 2inch tall radio. a DIN and 1/2 is 3" and a double DIN is 4". Single DINs are usually regular radios and some flip outs. I have a Dual XDVD8281 double DIN touch screen for sale. I just ordered a brand new harness for it and am waiting for it to get here. HERE is a link to the specs for the HU. I wanting to see $225 shipped for it as this is what the guy Im getting it from owes me. If you are interested LMK. If you wanna see pics of the DD bezel I made then click on the link in my sig to my picture gallery.

The Pioneer AVIC units are very nice. If I was looking for an aftermarket deck with your needs I'd personally go for one of those, or an Alpine or Eclipse unit. I retrofit a MyGig into mine which is also a possible option for you though the Ipod adapter costs extra from Dodge for those.

Yeah the Pioneer looks nice. I was looking at the new Avic-Z
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...ms/AVIC-Z110BT
I was looking at that because I wanted to get the IPod control, since I have an 08 RER Mygig, which doesn't support the IPod control. And I wanted to be able to hook up my sub amp to the radio. But, I still like the Mygig, it is a nice radio, and the 09 models have the IPod control, and the cord is only $40, I think. The RER Mygig is nice, if you want to have a stock look, but still have most of the features of an aftermarket radio. It is especially nice now, since Harman released an update for the RER(nav version) that uses the GPS to set the time, so it doesn't say 12:00 all the time anymore.
