honestly, any newer Double din will have all these features

budget is the only concern. Remember you need to buy a dash kit that is usually $150-$300

#1 - (and most important, I might add)


#2 - Wallpaper option, well it's on for 2 seconds every time you turn the car on, it's kinda cool, but definitely nothing to make a decision on a stereo over. Most have it anyway.

#3 - Bluetooth is more of a question of built-in or add-on, add-ons are usually ridiculously expensive, to the point that you could have purchased a better unit that also has BT built in for less than the cheaper unit + the add-on.

Since you never mentioned navigation, my recommendation for you is a common one from me. Pioneer 3200BT.

$400 for the headunit, and sonicelectronix includes the harness and antenna adapter at that price.
$40 for the steering wheel control
$10 for the trim plate
$150 for a metra dash kit
$300+ for a JDM dash kit
Maybe $40 for the PAC ROEM-NIS if you're an 03-04 Bose
So about $600-800 is what you're looking at.

I've purchased the metra dash kit and the antenna wire which was like 11$ so I just have to buy the steering wire and head unit?

You still need the ROEM-NIS if you're an 03-04 with bose, a regular wiring harness if not.

It's a processor

You get a hell of a nice crossover, 30 band eq on each channel, time alignment. It's a beast of a unit

The dd + processor would be a solid foundation for a system.
