Default New audio deck advice

Just removed the stock audio deck from my 2001 accord, and looking for some advice for a new deck. Obviously I would like a ipod/usb input and at least 1 cd slot that plays all types. Also dont know if there are any requirements that the new deck needs to meet. The one I removed was a 12V, 75 ohm for radio. My budget is up to 250(CAD) I suppose. I still have the stock speakers as well. Any suggestions and advice(brand, model, value)? Thanks for the help!

thanks for the advice, I got the CDE 102, but it didnt work with my ipod touch 3rd gen, or my nano 4th gen. Also didnt work with a sansa mp3 player. So took it back and tested every machine, and settled for a sony CDX GT540ui. Turns out its 30 bucks cheaper, has a remote control, and works with all my players and all cd types.

Default Volume control

After installing the in the same car posted above the Sony CDX GT540UI everything works perfectly except the volume control on the steering wheel. This worked with the radio and controlled the volume as well as a center button to control presets. Is there any way of connecting this to the new radio or is it purely meant for stock radios? Thanks

Pacific Accessory Corporation sells a steering wheel adapter that is compatible with Honda and some head units. Visit their website, search for your vehicle, and see if one pops up for your car.
