Need Recommendation for a Head Unit

I have never been a big stereo/speakers guy. I've only ever replaced a head-unit in one of my cars over the past 10 years. So I have no clue what is good/bad or even where to start.

Looking for a head unit for a B5 S4 so I believe it's double-din.

Functions I Am Looking For:

i-pod
XM-Radio
Bluetooth (would like to be able to install microphone for hands-free)
Navigation

Can anyone make a recommendation? I don't plan on upgrading the speakers or anything like that, just need to change out the head unit to add some functions I would like.

Don't really have one, if a unit can incorporate everything I listed then it's worth it.

From what I've been reading it looks like I can get units but then add on all of the separates. Not sure if there is an all-inclusive package out there...I haven't found one yet.

Also not sure if getting a $350 unit and doing the add-ons or a $600 unit + the add ons make a huge difference.

Pioneer avic130bt. Just got one installed. Unit costs 900 itself but to hook up iPod, xm, rear camera, bracket and install it is easily close to 3k total. But it's the best on the market after reading many reviews. Find good installer!

I've been checking out both the Pioneer AVIC Z130 and the Kenwood DNX9980. For what it's worth, I'm going to pick up the Kenwood. There's not a lot of difference between the two, just some user ergonomics. The pioneer maybe a little easier to use with an iphone/ipod. Since I don't have one, I don't care about that.

Congrats on the S4. I loves me my Audi!!!
