Best head unit in the $250 price range

[stylez777 10+ year member]

I am looking to replace my Head Unit. I have about $250 to spend and want to get the best head unit I can get for that budget. Only 3 things I care about are :

1 : Ipod Control

2: 4v or more pre outs

3: decent built in EQ

I was looking into the Pioneer 590IB, which i can get for around $200. Are there any better options available for what i am looking for in that price range??

Pioneer Premier 690UB. Comes with the iPod cable.

Meets all 3 of your requirements and is only $20 more than the price you listed for the 590IB. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I seen a DEH-8600MP, is that an older discountinued model? and how does it stack up to the 7800mp?

I think i seen the 8600mp on ebay for like $240...seemed like a good price for what it says it has...

I sell the pioneer 5900ib and the 7800 at bestbuy all day, they are great headunits. But i'm an kenwood excelon fan. I have the x889, which ***** with the ipod. The new kenwoods ( x891 and x991) are suppose to work better with the ipod.
