Whats a good HU?

Well I like my alpine but it would be awesome to try out something new (who doesn't have the same attitude?). I would like to stick with alpine because I like this headunit but I have no issues considering other brands. At the very least I would like sub and front preouts, voltage isn't a big deal, USB is a must, don't care about AUX or CD capabilities, and I REALLY would like an LCD screen. I hate scrolling through my songs on the headunit and only having 2 lines of text, and unplugging my ipod to find a song is even more of a pain.

An alpine ida-x305s would be an ideal thing for me but way outta my price range especially for new. My budget is anything below 200, new or used.

If it's really cold my headunit will be kinda slow going through menus, but I usually let my car warm up first

Check out some of Sony's new headunits. They are feature packed and relatively cheap for the features offered. You can also check out the Kenwood x994/x995.
