Smile Need suggestion for Double DIN radio

Hi!
A have Nissan X-Trail, and I want to upgrade the radio. The Radio is a Double DIN (4 inch tall radio) and I would like to have suggestion.
Here the minimal spec that I want

- Double DIN (4 inch tall)
- MP3 play back
- great sound quality
- I wish to keep the vehicle original speaker
- No DVD player necessary
- SD card, USB input or RCA input

I have look at Clarion product and the DFZ675MC modele have good spec but he is so ugly.

Do you have suggestion for me !

Thanks
Hugo

What about the Kenwood DPX502? Is this a good product?

Before you buy any DD Pioneer HU, I suggest you head over to avic411 to do some research. Otherwise, I wish you best of luck. If your budget was around 800+ (do not need nav) I would suggest that you look at Kenwood 812 or alpine 505. For $400, you're gonna get some pretty entry level stuff.
