Default USB car stereo interface....A good one??

Question...

Does anybody know of a GOOD USB interface/adapter for car stereos? Now I know you can purchase a cigarette lighter plug-in at WallyMart and the like. The disadvantage is that once you turn off the car, you're back to square one with your song list. I'm talking about something more substantial with some features.

And yeah, yeah, I know.....Why don't you just get an i-Pod???? That's in the works. Just wanting an answer to thees-a-won.

Thanks

For anything better than that cigarette lighter adapter, you will have to replace the radio.

I have a Kenwood with USB and it works great, it always resumes at the exact spot it was powered down.

The new 2007 Kenwoods also have the ipod interface built-in using USB, so you can even use a shuffle.

That's what I was afraid of. I love my Sony unit- it's SAT ready/Aux RCA's. I'll be using the Harmon Kardon(?) iPod interface to do my Mp3's, so I'll be allright. Sony also makes a multi-RCA/Aux bay so multi accessories can be added, which is great. It'll give me at least 2 auxs for the iPod and SAT. Maybe even a MiniDisc if i'm feeling froggy

Thanks
