Looking for suggestions for DVD HU

[SShiftn6]

Hey all, I'm looking to get a DVD HU. Price range is up to $7-800 (preferably lower, but I guess I'm willing to spend more for a reputable retailer with a good warranty). Features I would like are:

7" screen

touchscreen

detachable face (for a single din)

USB port

customizable wallpaper

BT capable

decent pre-out voltage (preferably better than 2V)

I guess that's really it. I had been looking into the Kenwood kvt-617 (mainly because of cost but now realized not a factory refurb, blah blah blah), and have read many posts on here about people not liking them...After more research though, I think I would like the 719 better since it has the above features (except pre-out V)...but there again, not much love for the Kenwoods.

If you have a suggestion, please name the brand as I am not up on all the model names, and abbreviations...also, if you know of a good retailer who has a decent price, please list that too. Thanks for all info.

i just bought the new Pioneer AVH-P6000DVD 5 volt pre outs, you should check it out.

actually if your looking for a single din check out the Pioneer AVH-P5000DVD

id go w/ alpine IVA-w205. but it doesnt meet all the things you said but its a really solid unit around that price.

Yeah, it would be alot easier (and cheaper) to do a single din. I can get a dash plate for a double din for about $200, but I think I'd rather save that...Its going in a 96 Chevy Impala SS, just for reference.

aww that's my dream car besides a 68 Camaro, I'm jealous. check out that 5000 i know the 6000 i bought has a lot of the features your looking for. i know the 5000 has a lot of them too but it's the flip out version. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12285_Pioneer+AVH-P5000DVD.html

The 5000 does look promising, but it only has 2 pre outs and doesn't say if you can load wallpapers. JW, is it smart/ok piggyback rears/subs on the same controls, or would it better to find a unit with 3 pre outs?

wish i could help with the pre out question, but i have no idea.
