There has been much discussion, search on "kenwood" or "pioneer" for starters. "GPS" or "garmin" may also show you some interesting ideas. If you are upgrading from a non nav dash, there is some additional pieces.
Don't want to push you off, but there has been much written and too much to summarize.

Check out www.crutchfield.com I think their prices are a little high, but it's worth it sometimes. I think just about all of the car audio manufacturers make an all in one radio/dvd/nav system. But if was me, I'd get an Alpine. In fact I know have an Alpine flip up monitor myself. They make a non-flip-up (flat screen) model for 3rd Gens.

Dont buy anything from Sony. Just my opinion. The last two products I bought from them have had problems and all I can get back from them are automated responses. They used to be good, dont know what has happened to their customer service.

I installed Pioneers AVIC D3 about 2 months ago and love it. Still havent figured out all the parts to the NAV system but that will come in time. Its a great starter in dash DVD/NAV radio. Here is a picture and if you search alittle you can find my post about the intsall.

I think Pioneer is one of the best combo units. Eclipes has an awsome one out aswell you will pay for both reguardless. I can speak for the eclipse they have a memory system built into them that you can use like a mp3 player as well as nav and dvd. It might be more cost effective to go with a nice fold out dvd/cd/,mp3 and get a set alone gps unit that you can change in and out of different cars. just my 2 cents!

I've always love the Pioneers but I just had the Z2 installed and the DVD system and NAV is a piece of POOP!!! Cant Drive and watch a movie. I can only watch a movie why driving under 5mph... Does anyone have a fix for this problem??? I'm switching to Kenwood. If I cant find a fix and yes the cable in grounded, new system has a gyroscope, no way to defeat it yet.. So go for the kenwood or eclipse

oh yeah... if I was you, Id skip all the BS of a navigation system and get a laptop mount and a laptop. 15" screen, DVD player, Microsoft Streets GPS, MP3's and anything you could want for under $1000. If I had to do it again, theres no way I would do a nav system. Id do a carputer but thats a bit of work.
