I'm no expert in this field, but the Kenwood systems with the infra red control seem to do quite well. I removed the infra red control system from a ZTT in a local yard, coupled it up to a Kenwood system and have upgraded the head unit to a later version to include bluteooth. Plenty of quality, plenty powerful enough and works fine on the steering wheel controls. I have fitted HK door speakers as the factory basic ones did struggle a bit. The other enhancement is a subwoofer, but not totally necessary, but good for what I require.

To sum up, I am unsure if the up to date Kenwood systems work with infra red, or indeed have this option, but well worth checking out.
I am about to go the double din route (when time allows me to fit it up) So may well have the bits you seek if your looking down the second user route, I will have the head unit, housing and infra red plug in and play unit up for grabs in the next week or so, if interested, drop me a PM we may be able to sort you out !

Hope this helps.
