Looking for a 7-band EQ with USB Audio/charge input!

[Newah]

I just got a 2003 VW Golf, and it has stock sound system. It does have the Monsoon Factory Upgrade, so it has an amp in the back, and gets plenty loud. (I'll most likely change speakers later on once my cash has recovered from that down payment)

Only problem, is that the 3 band EQ isn't cutting it (from CD tests), and there's no AUX/USB audio input for my iPhone

Now, I really want to keep the stock head unit, I really despise the look of an aftermarket one, so that's not an option for me. (unless there are clones of the same factory head with better internals) Anyways, I want to find some sort of EQ box with USB audio input, that can also charge my phone. I'll route wires through to the glove box and keep it there.

Lastly, I'm a college student, so $100 is best I can do, if not pushing it.

Thanks!

what you're looking for does exist but unfortunately it's usually in lower and EQ's like mD sound or this one Konaki Audio (KO-4EQUSB) 4-Band Parametric Equalizer w/ Subwoofer and USB - Caraudiovideo - Other - Great Products for less on GrabCart.com!

You can use the AUX in and then charge your phone with this:

To be honest, I only am Interested in USB for better sound quality, is that right? Or will AUX suffice just fine?

Oh and one more question, Is the factory Head Unit in my VW degrading audio quality? or will the EQ fix that up

Think I've decided on this. Eventually I will add a Pioneer 10" 800W Flat Subwoofer (due to the tiny size of my car), and swap out some speakers.
