Im possibly looking for a unit that can do the GPS and play CD's and DVD's in dash. Im not looking for anything too fancy but I dont want it to break after having it for a week either. I have an 07 crew cab XE with the regular double din cd player.

I was thinking about just getting the portable units and mounting it on the truck, but I figured I might as well spend a few more bucks and get one that plays DVD's too. Im not a huge sound person, so I dont need anything too crazy. And as weird as it probably sounds, I really dont mind the sound quality that comes out of my stock unit as it is now. Haha.

I also take the truck onto dirt and washboard roads quite often, so I need it to be pretty durable. Not sure if the ones that flip out are going to be heavy duty enough.... But maybe they are?

Any suggestions, links, prices, and reasons would be great.

I recomend the 7100 too, with the flash based nav you dont have to worry about a sensitive HD or a skipping nav dvd. Also it has all the features you need and then some so you CAN upgrade later if you want.

PM Tech12volts for a good price on either the Kenwood or Pioneer, he is an authorized dealer and can get you everything you need.

In my opinion Garmin is #1 when it comes to GPS. My friend does a lot of marine electronics and so I've played with a few of the different systems on boats and in that case its the easiest to use. I dont have a nav in my truck yet but when I get it I'm sure it will probably be a Kenwood with the Garmin technology.
