Need Help Choosing New HeadUnit

[jlmannsg21 10+ year member]

I'm looking to upgrade my current headunit to a single din flip out unit. My requirements are:

1) Must be single din.

2) Touchscreen obviously

3) Must have GREAT ipod controls(this is the most important feature im lookin for.)

4) Would like to have Navigation but not required.

5) Need to be able to run 2 amps(1 for subs and 1 for interior speakers.)

6) Have about $600 to spend.

I've looked at the Eclipse Avn7000 but heard the ipod controls are shittty so thats a no. Also lookin at the Pioneer AVH-P5000 and Kenwood KVT-719. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I like the Eclispe ones myself. I will be getting the DD one after the new year.

Also some of the best SQ you will get from an Eclispe.

I didn't have a touch screen flipout or a touch screen of any sort, but my el cheapo KDC-X492 Kenwood deck worked awesome with my iPod, so I imagine the SD flipout Kenwoods work just as well with the iPod.
