Headunit decisions... people w/ experience please chime in

So, my top prioritys for a new headunit is:
- Doesn't block A/C controls
- Navigation
- iPod control
- touchscreen
so i've found two that I like, nice modest 4.3" screens, monitors fold down, not up.

The only problem with these two are:
- no "iPod ready" controls, must plug into USB
- can't find any info on them other than this site
- don't know if they fit?
if I can get hard info that these fit, I'll most likely buy one of these two.
OR... should I do a double din build? They are fairly easy right?

personally i am not a fan of power acoustic products. had a few of their amps way back when and they had a pretty shitty build quality. never heard of the second brand, so you are on your own there.
if you have fg experience then build your own dd bezel and get a quality product that has the features you want.

srsly man. do a double din build. i KNOW you could get it right.
then buy an AVIC D3 (same headunit i have) you can get 'em used pretty damn cheap. it's the last headunit you'll ever need

That depends on the desired results.

yeah idk. i don't have much time for fabbing. if someone offered me a bezel + din i'd take it most likely. to be honest i really just want kick ass navi but i dont want some eye sore portable unit on my dash/window.

Blocking the AC vent isn't too bad, you can just move it forward a bit and change the settings, not like you're always messing with them anyway. I have a double din with ipod support, the Jensen VM9311TS, kind of shitty but meh.
