Default New Head Unit... What do u suggest?

Looking for a new head unit now that my Sirius is expired. I've installed plenty in my previous vehicles in years past but, I havent bought one in a few years. I want one that has a USB in the BACK so I can plug the ipod into it and store it in the glove box. I tried searching to see what everybody had, but I didn't come up with much. Price needs to stay under $400. I want to hear about you think about how the display looks and how easy is to operate especially, when listening to the ipod. My wife loves to scroll though and play random songs that we haven't heard in awhile when we take road trips. Any other info that you think would be helpful will be a bonus. Thanks!

I have a pioneer AVH-P4300DVD it is a pretty good head unit. I got it for under 400 online when it was released earlier this year.

stay with a double din. guy at the radio store sold me a single din...I miss my stock headunit.
Pioneer with pandora is pretty sweet. Sony has a new unit with a pop out tray you can hook your iProduct inside. Lacks a CD player but if you have an MP3 player...
