Default rear usb head unit for c3

I'm looking for a head unit that has a rear usb input. I've searched a little, and am having a hard time finding them with reviews. It will be going in my 69, so I wanted the usb to put a memory stick under/behind the dash, so I don't have to carry a bunch of cd's. What are some good options out there?

Not sure about others, but when I was looking about a year ago, I could only find a couple. I went with the Clarion DXZ785USB (I can't remember the other one.) It has a long rear USB cable that will snake over to the glove box. You can use a USB stick or like me, an external laptop hard drive. When using the stick or hard drive, the songs have to be in MP3 format.

awesome, I have some 4gigs laying around and all of my songs on my computer are in mp3 format. I also have some externals, but don't think I'll start out with something that big. How do you like your radio?

Now that I'm used to all of the functions, it's a really nice HU. It's all push button and slide controls, no round ***** if you like them better.

blue tooth might be nice.. not sure how well that would work out on the road. It's usually too loud to talk on the phone.
