your struggling lol most headunits have the ipod cable connector on the back. whats your budget?

That's a pretty basic requirement! What are *all* of your criteria?

Budget? Features? Do you prefer the look of one brand over another?

Are you planning on installing a fully amped system?

um budget around the 200 mark.. and yer i have plans for the system.. in the nect 6 months when i save up money but at the moment i just want the headunit
thanks guys..
oh and as far as brand i dont like sony pioneer clarion alpine kenwood i like them

With that budget you will pretty much have to suck it up and go for front USB. For whatever reason the lower end models pretty much all have front USB and stereo jacks.

Alpine's flagship ~$500 unit gets a rear USB and that seems to be the general theme. Paying big bucks for rear USB.

Honestly, 2 head units ago I had front USB and it really wasn't all that bad. Picked myself up a super small USB (like this.. mine was a little bigger) and just left in the front. Wasn't too bad and easy access when I was chucking new music on USB at work.

wraith thats abouot perfect thanks... is that tray thing rather then running a cord into the glovebox?

As far as I can tell it's pretty much the best thing available at your budget. Also yes the iPod sit's in side the actual unit.
