Cool Aftermarket stereos?

Anyone had any luck installing an aftermarket stereo in the FEH? I have the '06 with the stock stereo and WITHOUT nav system.

My first choice for a new stereo would be something that takes up the entire space of the factory one. To me, that means Double-DIN, but the guy at Crutchfield said that's not the case and I have to get a single din stereo with that LAME spacer thing underneath.

I'm going to try going to a true speciality car stereo place (HiFi Buys and Best Buy weren't any help) to see if I can get something like the Kenwood DDX7017 or the Pioneer AVIC-D1.

My absolute requirements are:
  • Auxillary in
  • XM or Sirius integration in the receiver...preferably supporting either
  • Looks nice and takes up the whole space
  • Can still use a CD if I want to
The dealer offered to install the New-For-06 upgraded stereo that has an AUX button and a single CD, but that was $440 plus $150 third-party cd-changer port to AUX cable....that seemed a bit steep to me. TIA
