Cheap(ish) double din head unit recommendations?

I'm in the market for a double din head unit. It looks like I should be able to do something for under $100, maybe under $50, and I'm looking for recommendations. What I'm looking for:
- good sound quality, decent internal 4-channel amp, and I'll likely add a separate amp and sub
- backup camera input
- good phone integration (I have an Android, Motorola Stylus)
- a good tuner, I'm surprised how much I still listen to the radio in the car
- I don't want anything else sticking out or going past the size of a double din.

suggestions/recommendations?

I had this one in my truck. Worked really well overall, the gps was a bit sensitive when using the maps, but overall was really pleased with it. I bought it on black friday, so it was only $95 at the time.

Do you remember what plugins were in the back? Was there anything that would allow this to be used as a windows computer monitor?

Couldn't say, never really bought for something like that.

What about Apple and/or Android car play? Any of you guys got that into a sub $200 unit? It's nice to use for navigation with Google Maps and stuff.
