Headunit suggestions

I just got a Zune HD and I'm looking for a radio that I can hook it up to, and charge while listening. Do most of the radios that have USB ports do this? Or am I looking for something more specific?

go to one of the bigger sites (Crutchfield, etc.) and check out the specs for the hu's you like and make sure they charge from the usb. then you can always shop around for that hu at a cheaper price from other sites.
just a thought.

thats what i was doing but it says that they can read flash drives, but doesn't specify whether or not they'll charge it. and i assume that if it can read a flash drive, it can read from my zune?
or should i just hook it up as a line in, and get a zune car charger, and leave it as that?

i'd go for one that has the usb. chances are it will also have the line in port as well. try the zune in the usb and see if it charges. if not, then default to the charger adapter. the usb will still get used on whatever the next hot thing is for carrying your tunes with you anyway.
if you have any doubts re: flash drive vs. zune usb, i'd just call and ask them. the tech support at Crutchfield always seems to get very good marks from past posters here.
best of luck with your hu.
