Just wondering if any one can recommend a head unit with a read aux in connection. I would like to hard wire my ipod in from the rear but seems all the new models have the aux on the front

Depending on your vehicle you can fit one of these and do it wirelessly via bluetooth.
Have just fitted one to wife's Mazda 3 and it works a treat.
Thats definatly something to look into. Looks like a great idea

My Pioneer units have a rear USB socket with iPod control built into the stereo.Not sure exact model number sorry, have a look around.I was so impressed with the one I bought that I went and got 3 more and fitted to all our four vehicles.We just use a USB stick with ours, rather than iPod but either works great.

yeah, quite a few now have dual USB ports. 1 in front and 1 in rear.

Why not just use a usb instead! No worries about having to charge an ipod and if some lowlife does ever break into your car/takes your car then you wont lose your ipod, only a cheap usb.

I have used a couple of the Panasonics and they have been great, either the CQ-C5403W or the CQ-C3403W. The models are a few years old, but have Rear AUX and some pretty good features. They pop up from time to time on Trademe.
Also, you can get a cord 'CA-DC300N' that also charges and controls ipods (doesn't charge the new iphones, but controls them) off the head unit. They started off at $100, but Superheap had them for $15 the other day, and again, they turn up on Trademe for cheap as they are older models.

Alpine CDE-123e, CDE-125ebt, CDA-105e, CDA-117e, CDA-9887e all have rear iPod input from memory. Or you could go for one of the new Sony DSX models with internal iPod tray, very cool.

How long is a piece of string! Headunits can range from $99-$800 for a non dvd unit and speakers can range from $20-$1000+. You need to give us a price range so we can recommend what will be the best options for you.
