I need a HU for my Daughter's first car I just bought... suggestions?

Back to this now. I just bought a portable GPS tonight so don't need that feature. I think she can make it through until Christmas but I want move now on getting her a new one as a present. I don't think her list will be long since she has most everything but this is something I know she wants since the cassette isn't cutting it! New list:

-PEQ

-Aux Input

-New! Can be older stock or discontinue

-Nice tuner since XM will be a little while off

-Removable face

-Tilt... Could do without but if it comes that way..

-In the $200-$300 range

I still see the 8445's for sale and keep thinking about them but to be honest the tuner on them ****! Other than that everything else works well.

I have been searching all night and all the Alpines don't have a PEQ, low volt PE, higher tuner ratings and optional Aux input. If it weren't for that I would consider one.
After going through it all the only two that look like a fit are the Sony CDX-GT705DX or the Pioneer DEH-P8MP. Which one of those gets the nod? The Sony has a CD signal/noise of 120 with a 9 for FM which is outstanding/great. The Pioneer wins the FM war at an 8. Pioneer has the best tuners in the business!

Search is over! Was up until 4:00 searching it over and this deal just couldn't be beat:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&item=300021491496&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

3 sets of 4V pre-outs, 120 dB signal to noise (highest of any player I could find... period!!), 9 dBf on FM reception which is right behind Pioneer's, detachable face, easy to operate controls, remote, 13 band PEQ, $49.00 I-Pod interface, 1 year warranty, wiring and install kit bonus and darn cheap to boot!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Can't wait to see it but not going in until Christmas //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

 
Did I also mention it has time-alignment? **** thing does everything my CD-5000 does for 1/4 the cost //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

 
This Sony has nice specs, but i wouldn't touch them for car audio whatsoever
Just curious why? I have a Sony mini-rack in my house that is going on about 9 years old and it has been flawless. It will rattle the neighbors and has a feature I have never seen in one of these systems... 52 CD's in one carousel //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

I will let you know how this one plays. I need to find the other items like sub, amp and speakers to finish her system out. Thing does have some awesome specs if you even compare it to my Eclipse CD-5000.
