Best in-dash touch screen GPS/receiver?

I am shopping around for a new in dash GPS/receiver that works with an iPhone. Please share with me your opinion on which is the best one.

Pioneer makes good products, and the AVH4300 is a really good looking setup.

I've really liked mine.

I put a Kenwood DNX8120 in mine. Works great but its a little dated now. The Excelon uses Garmin GPS and has great functionality. DVD player, GPS, Bluetooth, touch screen....satellite radio ready, USB and iPod inputs (need to buy cables though)

Have you thought about a samsung galaxy tab. The seven inch model is about the same size as a double din. I have seen a few slick setups like this.

I put the same unit in a couple months ago, though I haven't gotten the navigation controller, yet. I'm still trying to figure out if there's any way that I can use Google Maps on my Android phone through the A/V inputs, so I've been holding off.

Otherwise, it's a great unit. Took me a little bit to get the EQ just right, but now that I have, I love it!

I have the AVH 3200DVD by Pioneer. Not the super hi end unit some get, but it can be upgraded with bluetooth and GPS and the sound is WAY better then the stock HU.

I think I'm going to go with the JVC KW-NT30HD. Does anyone else have this unit?

Forgot to mention, pick one up that has separate subwoofer control and crossovers, you will find that the door subs have been asleep this whole time

I have installed the KW-NT3HD, not sure if there is any difference between mine and the 30HD, but I love it. Does navigation pretty well, bluetooth works great, has all the features I was looking for and it sounds a heck of a log better even with the stock shaker 500 system in the car.
Only downside I have discovered is that with a black on black car the unit get very hot, very quickly and if I have it turned up too loud will reboot it self due too heat. Only happens when the car has been sitting in the Arizona sun for a while. I am looking at ways to get some more air flow in there though.

If you run it with some separate amps for the speakers though I would suspect that you wouldn't have that problem.

Overall I am very happy with it though.

Does it not have a fan on the back of it? We get some pretty extreme heat here in Southern Ontario and I have yet to have my unit overheat. Has a built in cooling fan though.
