so I am limited to a crappy CDR/RW with mp3s

But, you have the iPod interface on the Pioneer and Alpine (and, I guess, Dension like hybrid8 mentioned). So you don't need MP3CDRW, unless you have a RioVolt, which you don't need because you have (or will have) an iPod. So, grab the name brand head unit, the iPod, and the iPod interface and you're set.

But personally, if you want MP3s and a big color touch screen, I would recommend installing an empeg and a fancy retractable touch screen head unit. Requires a double din opening, but you could use the head unit as the empeg's amp and the head unit should have subwoofer out; so that's more scaled down. And check on some forums to see how other people have fit two head units into your dash. There might be instructions for moving the AC/Heat controls. It might be worth it in the end.
