I'm looking for a new Head Unit for my 07 Vibe. And I was thinking ideally it would have three features.1. Bluetooth that is able to get the address book from the phone to make outgoing as well as recieve incomming phone calls.2. Having and aux for friend's mp3 players.3. Having a USB port so I can plug in a 160 gig 2.5 inch drive and have my entire music collection hidden and with me and powered up at all times.I've noticed some of these are starting to be released, but I was wondering if anyone had any real world experiance with them. And also if I got a single din unit, how do I fill in the rest of the radio slot in the vibe?I'm sure these are newbie questions, but thanks for the help!Wanloe

Thats sooo booring, why not do something like this:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=27978 that way you will have several USB ports and a hard-drive to boot..and GPS and a Nav system and internet web-browsing and xm-radio and streaming internet radio and pod-casting and rear-view camera and traffic alerts and live weather satellite and live stock and bond trading and checking your bank accounts and blue tooth and skype and watching movies and youtube videos and on and on and on...much more fun this way than just buying a plug in radio.

You should be looking at the newer Pioneers and/or Kenwoods... I think the Pioneers will give you on board Bluetoothand USB.... Where the Kenwood have a module for bluetooth...
