Recommend a Head Unit

Simple requirements here:

Plays DVDs (while moving with hacks/mods/whatever)
Reliable
Inexpensive

I imagine all the other specs are competitive with similarly priced units, so I guess the basic question is, "what is the one of the highest value items in the marketplace right now?" There's always a few, and I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to audio.

Oh, and I don't mind flip out screens, but don't know if reliability comes into play there.

I just put one of these in a camry pretty nice unit, you will need a parking break module to bypass the parking brake safety feature to play dvds while the parking break isnt on. And this unit is pretty affordable in the double din market.

Here is another, this one is even cheaper but has less features.

I just installed the pioneer avh- 1400dvd and I love it so far, it was $255 shipped thru eBay and the parkIng brake bypass was $9 shipped from eBay. Easy to install and sound qualitys great. My only complain is you can't tilt the screen if there's a glare.

Here's a pic for reference

Thanks guys, I'll check them out.

Any single sin models with a flip up screen? I like the visibility of that setup, especially if I add navigation, but might not like the fact that it block the center air vents. I see a lot of JDM cars with these. I also like the fact that you gain a storage cubby, not as if the Fit needed more of them.
