Default help me pick a head unit

Looking for a good head unit to upgrade the OEM tape player in a Camry.

requirements:

under $100
single din
cd player
ipod hookup.. via aux in or usb.

suggestions? Should I just pick one from a hat? Seem to be a handful of cd players in the $70 range with just a plane jane aux in which should work ok.

I just bought this for my sister in law's civic:

easy to hook up your ipod and charges it at the same time. Good reviews, high quality company, you have an option to add bluetooth if you want in the future.


The other one I looked at was:

Also, Happy s2ki.com birthday !

I got one from Target over a year ago for 79.99. It lasted until I sold the car. No complaints except it took awhile to turn off when hitting the power button. I don't remember there being a brand.

This one

Out of stock online but available in stores. Has Aux. In, USB, and SD slot. No actual iPod integration though.

EDIT: Be careful though; one of the reviews says their selling one without USB and SD slots instead of this one.

What Raj said. That unit is heavily discounted at the moment so you're getting a lot more for your money and a free HD radio tuner to boot.
