That will do for now...
If anyone feels there's better options for (roughly) that price, please list them.
Later -time permitting- I'll experiment w/a carputer (FOSS/Linux etc) + touchscreen.
Seriously considering this instead now....

Found it for as cheap as $398 so far, $200+ more than I was originally going to outlay.
But it's hard to find a unit that has BT "&" DAB+ integrated, even today, which is quite pathetic.
I don't see anything else quite like it, very well-rounded set of features.
SQ features/aspects aren't top-notch, but they're good enough...

The compare tool on Pioneer's site is very much appreciated (although not perfect):

http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/product...083&__P3=63346
I wish more OEMs/Vendors would do that on their sites...

Are there other mechless (or not) units with "broad" BT capabilities AND DAB+ integrated?
So far only Pioneer seems to be in that game*, rather not go into full touchscreen & double-din.
It's looking like I'll have to spend at least $350, $420 is probably my absolute maximum.
Unless there's a AMAZING combo of features that I just can't ignore at higher price-point.

*although I haven't yet systematically gone to every OEM site & carefully checked that
