New Headunit Time, what to choose?

So its time, its almost winter and while i love my factory unit and have zero issues with it i am going to go In-Dash DVD...

I've come across three i find to fit the bill so far, but i cant make up my mind hence where i ask for personal opinions so on and so forth, they are all different price's but i do know more expensive isnt always better.. so here they are!

Alpine IVE-W535HD DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com
Kenwood Excelon DNX690HD Navigation receiver at Crutchfield.com
JVC Arsenal KW-ADV65BT DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com

Coming with the head unit would of course be the steering wheel control adapter.. If you look under the Accessory tab on any of the units it gives you four choices... what one will work best with the cobalts?

lets get it started!

You can use any iPod as well, obviously less the data function.
Can still bluetooth stream any other phone for things like Pandora.

If you go to the Pioneer AppRadio website there is also a list of Android phones that also work with the head unit. There is also a $35 aftermarket app called ARLiberator that gives support for all the other Android phones.

I'm waiting until I upgrade to a new Android phone that is compatible with AppRadio3 right out of the box to purchase it.

I wouldnt rock the AppRadio itself, just a Pioneer unit that supports advanced app mode which is what the AppRadio does.
