[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 910483, member: 13650"](Whoops! I wanted to post this in coin chat. Mods, you can move if you want.) This was brought up before but I just caught myself failing again this afternoon. So I want a nice big touch screen, double din, CD/DVD/Ipod/Satellite/Bluetooth/GPS Nav radio for my new ride.
