Need a HU with USB Support

[dumbaboo]

Hi All,

I have a very old 2002 Sony CDX-MP450X that I want to replace. It's having a hard time reading my MP3 CDs and skips a lot when I'm driving on rough roads. I want to get a HU that has good USB support and nice looks. Is the Pioneer DEH-P6900UB a good HU to get? I have a 3 year old SQ system with a 2-channel amp that powers my component speakers, and a JBL amp that goes with the sub. My budget for this HU will be under $300. I appreciate all suggestions advices. Thanks in advance everyone.

I have the 6900 and it's a very good unit, don't hesitate picking on up. For $199 from Sonic Electronix, it's a steal. However, the new units ARE out now (ie. 6000UB) which replaces the 6900. I'm currently trying to get rid of my 6900 and pick up an 800PRS, but it's not out yet :-\

Get the Pioneer, it's worth it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have a kenwood x890. I mainly got it for the USB support. It works great.

Maybe check out the newer Alpine 9886.

Any of the 2008 pioneers ending in UB are going to have USB support built in.

I just installed the 690UB and I'm loving it!
