Please post pictures of your aftermarket stereo receiver.
Trying to figure out what I want to do.

Thoughts on this:
BMW X5 DVD - 2 din 7 inch DVD GPS Navigation System For BMW X5 E53 - Car DVD GPS Navigation

Looks good... but I like the Alpine and Kenwood name brand.
Thoughts ?

I have this Hulaingan Unit like the link posted above, but I'm getting tired of it. I was looking for a double din replacement like Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, JVC or Sony. If anyone has any of those, please share your experience and pics if possible and let us know what you think.

Why are you getting tired of it ?
Pro's and Con's of the Hul unit... ?
Can you add a sub amp ?

I do not have the DSP or cd changer in mine..

Well, I got it 2 years ago...it is working fine, no issues so far at all, but I want something new and something that has sat radio and hd radio. I think the radio reception is not the best of that unit as well and the sound is not the best as well in my opinion. I don't have DSP as well and did not have a sub either. The sound was somewhat terrible. I added a sub and amp from BSW and sound was way better but still worse than my other car factory radio, which drives me nuts. So, yes you can add sub and get signal from rear woofers in the trunk where the factory amp is.
I just want something new more powerful with more functions and options and something that makes great sound inside the X.
I will probably sell my unit for 200 dollars, once I found a good replacement

Thanks for the opinion.
I guess I will will look for a 2nd market Alpine receiver... Not the 9990HD, but maybe a last years's model.

No problem. I will let you know once I know what I want to get.

Any other thoughts?
I hear the Chinese company that makes these do not respond to emails/phone calls.
I would hate to sent $500 bucks and never receive it, or receive it with no support.
