Upgrading stock radio

Hi guys,
It's time to upgrade my stock radio in my 06 QC 2500. The volume dial no longer works and I recently picked up a moving violation ticket for talking on my cell. Is it possible to buy a plug and play system out of a newer truck that will provide Bluetooth and possibly Nav? What are my options? If no OEM options, are there any aftermarket radios that you guys had good luck with? I don't plan on upgrading the speakers.
Thanks

My HU was eating cds so I just went to Car Toys and upgraded to a mid level Kenwood HU KDC-X696 and it is GREAT! I have to talk a little loud with the Bluetooth I think because of the truck noise but the ports for the Ipod are what I was really after. The sound is much better with the new HU. I did not pay the extra $200 they wanted for the steering wheel control unit installed but the new HU comes with a remote anyway. They did charge an extra $100 to bypass the Infinity amp behind the dash. Approx. $400 total.
