Default Looking for a headunit

I wish I could get a dvd/nav but I cant afford it, but that doesnt mean I wont shell out to get a sexy HU. Any recommendations? Blue/white color scheme is a plus!

Maybe I should be more specific;
MP3 readable format
Aux-in rear
dial **** for volume

OP, your list of requirements seems incomplete, because the final complete system should be considered when making your HU selection.

Do you plan on adding a sub? Intend to power your other speakers using HU power? Upgrading stock speakers?

IOW, consider how many preamp outputs you might need, and what type of frequency filtering might be required for whatever speaker/amp configuration you might be planning.

i don't seem to ever use my phone so i didn't want the bluetooth. i didn't want to pay the extra money for a feature i will never use. but the 7800 is an awesome head unit. plenty of power, and has 3 preouts, and great SQ. really makes the stock speakers sound pretty good.
