Default Car stereos with usb/aux input - recommendations?

I want to buy a new head unit in the next few days but i'm unsure of which one to go for so i'm looking for ideas.

I'm running subs and components so i'd like something which i can control those with but also i prefer head units that give you separate bass, mids & treble control rather than having to use the e.q to adjust those values.

I already have a Sony one with usb but i'd much rather prefer to buy a Pioneer one with the usb input at the rear.

Can anyone recommend any that i should look out for on ebay etc?

Thanks

Have a look at the DEH 6300 , its pretty close to the spec you want but has usb and card slot on the front face , 3 pre outs and the music upscaler to bring your compressed files near to cd quality.
A nice unit all in all and for around the £100 mark cant be bad.
Look at clarion too , they have built some of the greatest SQ head units ever and offer great value.
Blaupunkt are always overlooked but build quality is fantastic and sound quality to match.

Thanks for the input

I'd rather have the usb input at the rear that way i can hide the memory stick out the way & only take it out when i'm adding files etc also i'm not too keen on head units where you can see the cd slot, i prefer the ones where the face comes down to reveal the cd slot behind it so you've got a bigger screen.

Iv just got the DEH-5200SD Its pretty good, Takes a bit of getting used to, The only bad thing is the alternating background at night, Other than that cant fault it.
