Desperate for suggestions: Best HU with bluetooth and iPhone?

[breebauer]

I need some help picking a stereo for my Honda Del Sol. Here's my wish list:

Bluetooth with an external microphone

iPhone ready

HD radio ready, iTunes tagging

a display that I can read if the sun shines on it

I would like a quality mic for the bluetooth since the car is essentially a convertible, and I don't mind buying a seperate one, as long as it works.

I bought a Kenwood that I'll be returning because the display is completely unreadable in the sunlight, and the bluetooth mic is built in to the faceplate and is pretty much useless.

Any suggestions???

Thanks!

Edit: I just ordered an Eclipse CD5030 from hifiaudioonline.com... hopefully they'll come through!!!

I just looked at their website- it has a bluetooth compatibility chart that says phonebook and audio won't work with an iPhone 3G. I might be able to live without that if the mic works well... anyone here know?

I googled this, but wasn't able to find it- can you post a link?

Thanks again!
