What H/U has all of these things?
What H/U has all of these things? I'm looking to buy a new head unit soon, and was wondering if you guys could point me toward something with the following features:
Hidden iPod connection - connects to the back of the H/U and can be hidden in the glove box. Control from the head unit is necessary. My current (Sony GT620IP) has this feature, but it doesn't work properly with my SWI adapter, and one of the buttons is broken.
PAC SWI-RC compatibility - I already have this adapter and the Seek buttons on my steering wheel advance to the next playlist instead of the next track on the same playlist. It's really annoying.
Red Illumination - This is pretty standard, I know, but it's a must-have for me.
Pretty - It has to look good.
If any of you have something like this or know of something like this, I'd love to know. Brand isn't an issue and any price under $350 is fine. I've done some research and looked at stuff from some of the major brands (Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, etc) excluding Sony, since if this Sony doesn't do what I want it to with my SWI, odds are the next one won't.

I know this is a little out of your price range, but if you are looking for a double din, I dont think you can beat the JVC KW-AVX640. When it comes time for me to get a new headunit it is what I will be getting.

I have a Kenwood KIV-700 and use it with a USB Flash Drive vs the iPod/iPhone (I have HTC EVO). I had my old iPhone laying around and checked it out with the head unit and the integration was much better than using a flash drive and worked/controlled the iPhone flawlessly.

I want to make sure the steering wheel seek buttons advance to the next track on the same playlist. Can you confirm?
