Whats the BEST aftermarket Navi/Stereo?

I picked up the pioneer x940 bt for like 500 on amazon it's a pretty nice unit for the price. Does everything you need

are there any aftermarket double dins that will wire up to the factory sirius antenna and stuff from the RF system?

I have the AVIC x940bt. It cost me $499 from Amazon plus another $140 for the headunit kit and harness adapter for the RF kit (if no factory RF- you can just use the harness that comes w/the ebay dash kit or send me $4 and I will send you what they sent me). Add another $60 if you want to retain steering wheel controls. I love it, works great and aftermarket is always the way to go. The pandora and "aha" controls are great as well. Took me about 1.5 hours to install. It does not retain the factory Sirius- you have to get a separate Sirius module to plug into it.

The price has gone up, but the x930bt can be updated via a software update to the x940bt software. Love it.

For Sirius you'll most likely need to buy an aftermarket antenna/tuner. In the case of Pioneer you have to buy another part as well.

Pioneer Headunit -> CD-SB10 -> Sirius SCC1 Universal Tuner -> Antenna

For the antenna you can actually use the factory antenna (if you had sirius), you just need to break the plastic that surrounds the actual antenna connection. No need to run the antenna included with the SCC1.

Also if you get the PAC-SWI module to retain the steering wheel control you need to unplug the factory bluetooth module. Everytime you push one of the buttons it will try to use the factory bluetooth. The factory bluetooth module is located above the glovebox.
