Hello I'm new to the Audio Forums. I've look through some of the stickies but there's a lot of dead links.

I thought it is best to ask those who have experience since boxes and text do not tell all features.

I'm looking for a good head unit with the following features:
CD player with USB interface (For Ipod, but this is least necessary)
Display that is viewable at all angles
Display that is viewable in direct sunlight ( daytime viewable at the least)
CD Randomization that randomizes even after all tracks are played. For
example, playing a 3 track CD with Shuffle and Repeat All. I want a 3 1 2,
2 1 3, 1 3 2, etc shuffler. Not a 3 1 2, 3 1 2, 3 1 2... etc. This is
important for me in long drives and I kinda like it. If my old CD Boombox
can do it, then my car stereo should to, otherwise it'll be not different
than a track Programmer.
That also should be included. A CD track programmer assuming not all
CD players have one.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll add this to my list of tools but it stills lacks info on the Shuffle and the Visibility on the display. View angle became and issue to me since I looked for a Head Unit in the Electronics section at Fry's.

 

Alpine makes some of the best head units hands down, in terms of build quality, sound quality, features, ect. The biolite display looks good in all angles and they have models with everything you're looking for, just depends on what you're looking to spend.. Check them out.
