Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the unit has all the Sync functions... I haven't taken my unit out, will I be able to just hook up my new unit to the usb/line in jack that I have in my center console? And what about the built in mic? Or is that what the $200 retention unit does? I'm looking to spend $800-$900 for a new one on eBay. You guys have specific units in this range you'd suggest?

Nah, I haven't had time to look all that much and I still don't really know what to look for haha. I haven't done enough reading yet. I have had a garmin GPS for a few years now, and really like that interface, so the Kenwood (garmin gps) really appeals to me. But I've been looking at the TOL Pioneer one. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19741_Pioneer+AVIC-Z110BT.html They are about $800 on ebay if you bid on it. To anyone who knows something: What is my factory unit worth? I have someone that will pay me $450 for it, then he'll resell it on eBay,. Is $450 a good deal? Would be with nav dvd and gps antenna. Another question, what do I lose when I hook up an aftermarket head unit? I have Snyc, how is that affected? Do I really have to run my own mic cable out and usb/line-in cables even though I already have them built in? I have the premium sound in my Edge also, everything with a new head unit will be abel to utilize that? Haha, looks like I opened a can of worms on you.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any model numbers that are equivilant to better to stock unit? Anyone else have thoughts?

I just got an 08 Edge Limited with the navigation. I'm not to impressed with the whole head unit and user interface. What are some other options out there that are good? I found this one eBay and really like it. Thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320515540762&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT I figure I can get $400-$600 on eBay for my unit? Was going to pull the trigger on this eBay one today, but thought I'd ask first.
