recommend a car stereo headunit

I'm looking to get something that plays mp3s and is < $200. Anyone know of any good deals out there ?

Or can someone tell me which of these would be the best bang for the buck (sorted by consumer rating) ? I verified they all fit with my car.

Mostly listen to CDs... XM radio not required. I'll also need them to install it. Would Best Buy be a better place to purchase from then ?

Thanks.

UPDATED question: >>> See post made on 10/31

UPDATE: I bought the PIONEER DEH-P7600MP from sounddomain.com - $229 shipped with install kits.
 
I have a Sony CDX-S2000 headunit, works great sounds good on the speakers I have in my car. It doesnt have the MP3 capability you are looking for though.
I think Worst Buy still has free instalation on headunits 99.99 and up (free labor, connectors and adapters still cost you) im not sure if CC does that or not.

But do you really want CC to install it for you?
 
Alpine is awesome... soemthing that plays mp3's and is a quality head unit... you may pass the $200 mark.

As far as installation goes, bestbuy = crap, cartoys = a little more expensive, but incredible job (they loomed my wires and junk for my amp, looks very professional).

Depends on the store... not too many can do stuff like this. But some are very good, most are better then BB. I work at one, and they are honestly some of the best installers I've seen.

Yes, free installation but they charge you up the a$$ in parts. And I wouldn't trust installers working for CC. All they have to do is prove that they are able to connect two wires together to get the job.

Trust me, its better then ANYTHING at that price point and even hundreds more. I'm blown away by Eclipse. Makes me wish I had one🙁 One bad thing is that the face isn't detachable, although I never bother pulling mine off anymore.

$20 off with a coupon code (verified with a salesperson) and they have 30 days no questions asked. Also comes with freebies like the neon kit, the harness specific to my car, etc. I compared with other sites and nobody is as thorough and I just don't want to deal with it when it is only $10 cheaper.
