Hi FREEWAY,
Sorry I wasn't specific enough. I have four goals:
1. The most important goal is keep my factory installed overhead DVD player AND for it to play its sound through the Expedition's sound system - just like it does now. For that I assume that I need a Head Unit with some sort of auxillary port or RCA "in" ports on the back of the new unit? YES
2. I want my steering controls to work. So I assume that I need to buy a Head Unit that is set up for this as well as some sort of adapter. I recently had to do this with the wife's Pathfinder...so I am guessing the same applies for my expedition? YES...PAC wiring harness
3. Also I have a Sirius Starmate 4 satellite receiver that is currently wired into the Head Unit with an FM modulator. I want to get rid of the FM modulator a plug it into an auxilliary port.
4. I want bluetooth - both audio streaming, and hands free. I figure I don't need to do anything here other then buy a system that has this integrated into it. YES...my pioneer allows me to play audio from my phone rather its music or video...but cant see video
That's it! Hopefully I am not setting my expectations too high. All I need to know here is what to look for in a new head unit. I'm not planning on trying to install this myself. I plan on taking this to a professional for that.
Thanks for the great advice so far everyone.
