Id like to go with either Alpine or Pioneer
Things I want on it:
Plays CDs
Able to hook up to my Zune easily
USB for if I want to add a zipdrive onto it incase I dont have my zune
Red Illumination but thats no big deal
Graphix EQ is preferred
Good Bass
Would like to be able to keep steering wheel controls
I have the amp and sub in my sig and want that to be easily connected to it. (instead of having that walmart rca adapter installed)
Im looking at the Alpine IDAX200 but that doesnt have cd...
Alpine CDA 9884 but im not sure if I can hook up my zune to it..
Pioneer DEH-P5000UB (wtf is up w/ these names) This one too Im not sure if Im able to hook up a zune to it, if anyone could clarify

Those two places will give you a few good things. Also go to the product websites of Alpine, Kenwood, Jensen, Clarion, Sony and you can see all the features and dash units you want.

What do people think about the JVC KD-PDR80?
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDPD...0.html?tp=5684
It has front USB (but I read that its usb interface isnt the greatest, ie. shuffling through songs) front aux for the zune, graphic eqs, and plenty of dif illuminations.
Im not sure how the sound and watts on it are though compared to others tho. I dono a lot about amps/watts/etc If anyone could interpret it?
