That seems to be a solid price for a Pioneer product. Prices vary for all type depending on the name. Pioneer is a good brand so I would see it being 600-700.00. If you get a less known name you would pay less.

You would just need a multi plug in port for your ipod playing and bluetooth setup.

id rather not trust those no name websites....
id rather buy from ebay from a high rated seller.

thats how i bought my alpine units. just be sure its a high positive rating with very little negative feedbacks. i saved at least a few hundred bucks on my alpine radios.

pioneers a pretty good name.
just might want to see if that unit has a seperate brain or if its all in one unit... those brain units can be a PITA since you have to find a spot for the brain to fit.
i was glad my alpine was a all in one unit. makes installing it alot easier!

just remember with a flip out unit theirs 3 things ya need to know, first off buy a screen protector! scratches can not be removed from the monitor but if you scratch the screen protector you simply peel it off and stick a new one on and your lookin brand new again!
2nd is a video bypass is nice,
3rd DO NOT try and push or pull on the motorized face. and make sure no one else in your car does either! with flip out units its to easy to strip the gears off the motor and if those go bad your screen will stick in or stick out if your lucky.

its cool.... instead of a little pad to touch the controls you have the large area to touch more buttons more fun.LOL
when i had regualar radios i used there remote controls all the time and never actually touched the radio. but with a touch screen i havent even touched the remote control hardly any, only time i have used it when i was in the back seat tweaking the amplifier.

I have one of these for my iPod, I have seen them on countless iPhones and Touches. It looks like the 6800 should work on the model you had picked out as well.

I am sure there are many other brands that make similar screens, but I have experience with this one. You can also find these screens cheaper on ebay.
