Help choosing a Double DIN Sat Nav

Hey
So I've just ordered a double din fascia for my CTR EP3 and have been looking around for something to fill it with.
To be honest, I hadn't realized how expensive they are so I'm going to need some help getting value for money.
My requirements are:
Sat Nav
Bluetooth
I'm not bothered about dvd playback as I have no desire to watch films in my car.
And preferably a detachable front, but this is not essential.

The budget is £500, can it be done?

Pioneer AVIC-F310BT meets your criteria including a detachable front. Also has USB/Ipod input but note that the SD card slot is only for firmware updating and not ordinary audio use.

Thanks for your reply. That fits my criteria perfectly
Do you know what they're like? Can't find any reviews.

Re: Help choosing a Double DIN Sat Nav

After doing some reading I think it would be sensible for me to save a bit more money and go for the Kenwood 5240BT, otherwise I may just end up being disappointed with the Pioneer. I still don't really want to go above £500 but I think I'm gonna just have to bite the bullet
