What are good H/U with a nice display
I miss my double-DIN Clarion ADX 5655z's display with 8 different modes, but my car was vandalized and my Clarion was stolen. I'm trying to find a good replacement. Any suggestions in the under $00 range?

under what range? 
If you are looking for something with a nice display, in my opinion you can't go wrong with Pioneers.. They are very easy to read, and the decent models have screensavers and graphics, they look good and they aren't bad as far as quality goes. Just my 2 cents

Eclipse or Alpine's. Kenwood's eXcelon line is also a good buy. I used to have the x815 in my old car and loved them.

Well the pioneers have pretty crafty displays, but if you like your old clarion why don't you just get another one just like it?

spasibo za sovet.
my Clarion was sticking out a bit from the dash, and had no security features, at least a detachable face....it was too easy to spot, thats how it drew attn to itself..

You're Russian too! 
heheh, so i guess the Eclipse is also out of the question huh? I'm in the same boat as you...
-Alpine/Eclipse/eXcelon sounds good IMHO.
-Alpine's are hard to come by locally
-Eclipse have no security features
-eXcelon's are good but i don't like the design on some (too busy)
-Pioneers have a slightly cleaner interface but the SQ isn't that good to my ears.
-JVC has very clean looking mp3/cd headunits but as far as SQ goes i'm not sure (haven't tried them)
-Clarion's, i've only had experience with the stock headunits. I'm assuming the Pro-series would sound better or up to par with the first three in this list. I just don't like how the current models look like.

-Eclipse- dont like the styling, display
-Alpine, too much $$ but display sucks
-Kenwood- was advised categorically against buying Kenwood. My boy bought one and it broke on him being just 2 weeks old. Displays are only 2 mode, like a casion slot machine, wtf?
-Pioneer-seem too flashy for me, I need a dark faceplate, and more featured on display.
-JVC-dont have anything against, really
-Clarion-I had ADX 5655z unit before and it was rock solid, nice display, but would not get another one because of the lack of security features...
poor me

Eclipse may not have security features but someone told me that they have an excellent warranty, like if someone steals it, they replace it for you for free..
can anyone confirm that?

yep, they have ESN. it's not as simple and convenient as it sounds though.
first you need to get the police involved to get an official report, that in turn needs to be sent to Eclipse for verification.
simple enough? not really, it seems a lot of people are having problems getting Eclipse to keep their part of the bargain. in certain instances they don't even send you a brand new unit.
now add to that, if someone does end up stealing the headunit (because it's so visible) you not only lose the player but you also gain damage on your door/dash/whatnot during the process.

How much does it cost to ship a HU... Some ebayers charge as much as 25bucks, and average charge 20bucks. One cheap online store ships alpine 7995 for 20bucks..making its price equal to other expensive sites with lil less shipping charge. I'm guessing it will at most cost 10, if not, 15.. I dont think they're are very heavy either..
