I'm looking for a new car stereo and I'm looking for a 1 din high unit that works best with an iPhone. I rather connect it through usb because of battery issues when using navigation software. I would prefer one without a cd player. And I would love to use bluetooth for the handsfree.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

There a ton of options. You need to provide more criteria to narrow them down if you want recommendations.

Pioneer by a large margin IMO. I have use their car stereos for years with the iPhone. I've tried many other brands and none of them can compete with the user interface.

I Upgrade my car stereo every couple years and always want the best to go with the iPhone, it always ends up being pioneer after looking at all of them.

I really can't speak for the models this year and I actually do not plan on buying any more in the future because I'm going to be buying a challenger next year. It's going to have the Uconnect system which I think is pretty much better than anything out there .

in the past though with the pioneers I've always picked up the model next down from their top-of-the-line receiver . I always purchase off eBay as you can usually get them off eBay as you can get them for $200-$400 less brand-new in box .
