I have a Pioneer DEH-P470MP. I've had it for about 2 months and installed it myself. I'm a total n00b at car stereo stuff, but it was pretty easy to install. I haven't had any problems with it yet and it sounds just fine for me.

As far as the steering wheel controls go, I bought a PAC SWI-PS which wires directly in with the headunit vs. using infrared. It was a bit more expensive ($90), but it was also very easy to install and program. Much better than $200.
